    Would any of these be worth a 4pt hit? I have a feeling Kagawa could do well.

    Hazard to Kagawa
    Hazard to Michu
    Tevez to Sturridge
    Tevez to Carroll

    Tevez to sturridge I think

    Loic Remy has been arrested so that's one QPR goal threat gone,perhaps a Liverpool defender after that news and Tevez to Sturridge.Will wait to see about Hazard nearer to the weekend.

    Anyone think Chico Hernandez could be a good differential this weekend?

    He'll be out on bail by the weekend, although his mind mightn't be on the game.

    Indeed.

    Doubt it. He started the last day and although he scored, I doubt he'll start this week.

    Any Liverpool supporters think that Borini might start Sunday

    Funny you should mention that. One of the lads I live with decided to keep his second wildcard for the very last game. Needless to say he isn't very highly ranked :rolleyes:

    He definetly might start. They are at home to the worst team in the league with nothing at stake. Rodgers has spoken about changing the team about, so I would say its 50/50 on him giving a 10 million signing of his a start. Not at the expense of sturridge but it could change sturridges starting position. Sturridge is still a great option this week and alongside bale probably the best captain choices.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,094 ✭✭✭SpaceCowb0y


    Sturridge and Michu in... Sturridge with the armband! First time i've had him in my team all season! Fingers crossed!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 675 ✭✭✭RIALTO1


    Just something to bear in mind re: Liverpool. They played with 3 at the back in the first half against Fulham last week, with Wisdom being hooked for Enrique at half time. But Rodgers confirmed after that it was always the plan for Wisdom to only play 45 mins, and he was "having a look". So I wouldn't be shocked if he did some tinkering again this week. What that could involve, I don't know. But I don't think Rodgers would be losing sleep if they didn't keep a clean sheet for example.

    So long as they win the passing he'll be happy.I reckon Carragher will be nailed on to start so he might be the best bet for a Liverpool defender to transfer in.

    Selling Defoe this week, have Sturridge and Lambert up top. A few options, anyone any thoughts to add?

    1. Adebayor: will start on Sunday, playing well and Sunderland nothing to play for, BUT (and this may affect Spurs in general) if Arsenal go a goal or two up, particularly early, I can see Spurs just going through the motions and a low scoring game.

    2. Tevez: home to Norwich, seems Aguero may be out.. Potential for a decent score if plays further up, Dzeko will probably start too with Aguero out, Dzeko would be worth a punt but its hard to believe managers these days, not matter what is said in a press conference Aguero's injury did not appear to be severe. Tevez therefore pretty much a cert to play regardless of Aguero fit or not. Dzeko more of a risk as regards not starting.

    3. Giroud: unlikely to pick him myself, but Wenger clearly rates him. I wouldn't be surprised to see him straight back in the team even with Podolski scoring recently.

    Adebayor or Tevez gents? 9.5 mil to spend. Wish I had a City defender but a striker always has room for a big score so getting Defoe out is my most likely scenario this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,188 ✭✭✭✭dahat


    Andy Carroll is the one this week folks,really think he could score well against a team without nothing to play for,last game at home the Hammers will be looking to win


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,537 ✭✭✭joe123


    Anyone know the story with Nasri?

    Was on the bench against Reading. I still have him and he could be a decent differential IF he plays.

    Injured? Dropped?

    Both above are good options this week(if aguero is injured) Id add andy carroll home to reading to the above. Mentioned earlier in the thread sturridge, adebayor, carroll, tevez/aguero, and kone before wigan were relegated are the 5 best striking options this week. RVP is obviously not in budget.

    Agreed. As an aside, have you seen some of the prices quoted on Carragher to score?? As short as 3/1!! Scandalous!! 5 goals in 774 appearances for club and county. Obviously bookies taking no chances but ffs.

    If they get a pen he could be offered to take it but hes such an old school no nonsense footballer he probably wouldnt bother taking it.

    Yeah, absolutely. And certainly not if they weren't winning comfortably. If I could lay @3/1, I would all day long.

    Am I the only person to get annoyed by thread titles saying 'gamesweek' instead of 'gameweek'

    I'm so irrational!

    Anyway Tevez to Sturridge just seems so hard to do when City are home to Norwich. I'm thinking Hazard to Kagawa is the way to go.

    I don't see it. I've see a number of people suggesting this move but Kagawa has scored 21 points in NINE GWs. He isn't even a guaranteed starter.

    Maybe it will come off, but I don't see the Kagawa 'attraction'.

    Michu home to Fulham if you don't have him is a better bet IMO.

    agree I wouldnt take out tevez. Will kagawa start? giggs, scholes ,carrick will probably all start in midfield.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Robles
    Zab Luiz Carra
    Mata bale walcott cazorla lampard
    Tevez sturridge.
    Have been considering getting in Carroll and not playing Cazorla its a 4 pt hit. Dont know why I just have a feeling carroll is going to score high this week and I was considering captaining him. I know its not the most sensible move as Ive a strong team anyway with 9 of my 11 players at home . So i suppose it comes down to will carroll outscore cazorla by 4 pts has anyone any opinions and who would you captain from the above.

    I think he'll get the place ahead of Rooney. And I don't think Hazard will.

    I've wrapped up the leagues I want to win, just tempted to go for something out of the ordinary as I've only been captaining Suarez/RVP/Bale and Walcott this year pretty much exclusively

    I have been thinking of Carroll as well, and the concern I would have is that West Ham are on their holidays. By all accounts Everton could of had 6-7 last week, and prior to that they drew 0-0 at home to Newcastle. Reports from that game suggested they weren't too bothered either. Of course it being the last game, they may have more motivation. So at the moment I'm still undecided on Carroll or not, but just thought I would share my doubts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    just the 1 transfer for me this week. Fellaini to Coutinho. simples
