There was a major shock in the Members Cup Fourth Round last weekend, as world number 15 and site regular Evs tasted defeat at the hand of Rodallega Bombs. His conqueror has form, though, and sits just inside the top 1500 so far this term. Elsewhere, former winner Fuzzy Dunlop is still in the mix after winning 62-54, Diz was the round’s highest scorer with 72 points earning him a place inside the top 500 overall, while Paul continues to fly the flag for the Contributors. We’re sorting out the draw for the last 32 behind the scenes and should have that with you tomorrow..

    Bit of advice needed:

    Front 3 is

    Suarez | Sturridge | Lambert

    Should I be trying to get RVP in at the expense of Sturridge (and downgrade a midfielder) or straight swap for Suarez? Have 2 FT

          Yeah I think so TW. Not much in it except in the price difference. For tibbs it means sturridge over Lambert too which should work out.
          Remember expensive dgw targets coming up too. Spare coin will be useful

      Indeed!

      The FA cup replay between United and Chelsea is crucial. Ideally United go through and Chelsea are dumped from the Europa League by the mighty Bucharesti.

      Then we have a nice run for Chelsea players before we swap them to United players!

      dont like it at all - remy has still 2-3 good games with his current fixtures, and double up on pool strikers looks wastefull (could work of course, but could end up in tears).
      also, changing sturridge will leave you with more money which you will need very soon.

      let me guess - you have RVP?

      the point is what would someone without EITHER should do?
      or in other words, most people can bring rooney without a hit and RVP only if they downgrade elsewhere.
      now calm down and think logically and then you can stil say RVP if you want to, but after proper consideration.

          He's in my team (till the w'end ) as I font let my personal feelings cloud my Fpl ones (heck I've Suarez ! ) but IMO to mention Sturridge in the same sentence as Rooney and Rvp in regards to stats/goals etc is absurd , and genuinely do you really think both City and Chelsea would have let him go if he was that good - a poor mans wellbeck I say.

            We don't know what happened at City or Chelsea. He did have good spells at Chelsea but that's in the past anyway.

            As long as he continues matching RVP and Rooney - two of the leagues best strikers - in terms of shots in the box and shots on goal, he's impossible to ignore, regardless of whether you think he's a good player.

              Sturridge is a very good player.

              The worry lies with the multiple risks:

              1) Ongoing thigh injury
              2) suspension of Suarez

              Either will adversely affect his production.

                I'm not saying Sturridge is a better finisher than RVP or Rooney. I'm saying that if he keeps matching them in terms of shots in the box and shots on target, he'll surely do well.

                QPR, LIV, sto, FUL though. and benteke is on pens and is the main man in the side who will be trying to score a lot to avoid relegation... 😕

                but you do pose good points. i'm rather tempted now.

      EXACTLY the same dilemma as me, TW. I take it you have the cash to do any of them to either Utd player? I've got 8.2m to spend so could do any...

      Was thinking Sturridge to Rooney, but it may well depend on what it looks like my rivals do. 2nd place in my league (100 pts behind me but with WC left) has about the right cash to do Sturridge to Roo, 3rd place (145 pt lead) already has RvP. Tricky...

        not as much as you but still enough to get rvp for any of them.

        hmm that's a tough one. I don't have a ML to focus on though so it's all about max points and overall rank
