    Yeah Aguero is key for me, although I want to wait until the fixtures ease up for City and get harder for United. Rooney could still come good! Also looking at possibly having 3 City players which would be silly atm. GW 5 or 6 seems best. Aguero's not even guaranteed to start the next few games, theres doubts over Costa, Rooney still has the easiest fixtures... and thats only in attack!

    Probably only annoys those that knee jerked though

    I would imagine it annoys those who know the word is being used out of context.

    Definitions of the word "knee jerk":
    "A spontaneous, thoughless, predictable and stereotypical reaction to something, usually an opinion or a statement".
    "To react without thinking. To form an opinion without paying attention
    automatic, quick and without thought".
    "an immediate unthinking emotional reaction produced by an event or statement to which the reacting person is highly sensitive; - in persons with strong feelings on a topic, it may be very predictable".

    I think you'll struggle to find active users on this forum who make FPL decisions "without thinking".

    I made it very clear to people last week that laughing and having a go at your fellow FPL player for a bad run or a poor week is not on. A few people are on my radar.

    Final warning about this lads.

    No quotes but may be something for the few of us that went with rvp to worry about.

    I plan to pull him out anyway. The WC punt didn't work. Waiting to see how Studge does today.

    If fit Ill give him next week. Was worth the punt can downgrade to any player in the game and have some cash left over.

    Yep I definitely think he was worth the punt. Will downgrade him now though. Don't think I'll bother giving him another week. United look brutal.

    No way am I touching my transfers til this international break is completely over and a day or 2 has passed.

    This is an example here of why you never should. Aguero Barca was one that caught me out last year.

    And Balotelli at 10.00, generally makes all Pool attackers more appealing.

    Could be nothing. He was meant to miss six weeks last week.

    I have him and Sturrudge and already used my two FT so this could be a nightmare.

    Until i see costa in crutches, i won't believe it consider a week ago he was out for 6 weeks to 3 months.

    Unless confirmed he will be my captain and if he doesn't play my vice captain will do the job.

    Grand so in essence, all the strikers are out, and we should go 5-4-1

    Him only playing like 13 minutes for Colombia doesn't fill me with confidence for this coming week either.

    Ye i think I'll stick with RVP this week myself as I have to shift sturridge. In time will do RVP to Falcao when we see the way Utd line up.

    That's the plan for me too in terms of not chaining my United players immediately, I'll watch the QPR game and then decide what I do and don't want.

    Hopefully Falcao doesn't start, and that decision becomes even further rewarded.

    People forget too that QPR have a good squad. Some new additions and they've more points from three fixtures than United!
