Fair point, but gerrard's points seem to be bunched together in a run of games.. whereas lampard is a consistent scorer of points every week.

Over the season they are pretty much equal, but we all know that winning is about having the form players in the team every week.

Over the past 3 seasons they are actually like for like.

Lampard 33 goals in PL (577 fantasy points)
Gerrard 34 goals in PL (596 fantasy points)

Would they naturally not appear more bunched together due to the fact that Gerrard played nearly 20% less football that Lampard and only scored 5% less points.

It's obviously a difficult choice but I think Gerrard makes slightly more sense at the moment. For the moment, the only real reason that I am considering choosing Lampard over Gerrard is down to the fact that I have Torres and would prefer to spread the risk a bit between the top clubs.

Thats not true - as another user posted Lampard was injured for long periods in the 07/08 season. I dont know where you getting your facts with Gerrard having played less than 20% more football. Do a wiki on both players and you will see that in the past seasons.....
Gerrard - 100 games
Lampard - 98 games

Both players are as good as each other if u ask me! I tend to favour Gerrard this season just because he'l be playing more up front

everdead.ie · 14-07-2009 06:02PM

GIVEN
Hangeland figueroa assou-ekotto Distin

Ireland(C) Young Modric Arteta

What? I think you have misunderstood something. I wasn't talking about the last 3 seasons. I was talking about the amount of minutes player last season. Go up a few posts and you should be able to clear it up.

Not with that team, you're not!!! *

*OK maybe you are, but I'll still thump you with my superior intellect.

corban · 14-07-2009 06:42PM

Sorensen

---Evra---Cahill----Zhirkov

Barry--Valencia--Gerrard--Taylor

--Campbell--EbanksBlake--Torres

subs: hart, hughes, anderdson, ridgewell

will propably swap out anderson and valencia after week 2 for jimenez and arteta

what ye reckon? trying to take week 2 into consideration

Seaneh · 14-07-2009 06:53PM

changed my team... again...

1: Given

2: Ashely Cole
3: Evra
4: Bridge

5: Ireland
6 Ashley Young
7: Cattermole
8: Fletcher
9: Arshavin

10: Keane
11: Agbonlahor

Subs:
GK: Sorensen
DF: Corluka
DF: Bramble
FW: Doyle.

now before anybody goes crazy at the bramble inclusion. his points scored for money paid ratio is in the top 3, so if he has in any way as good a season as last year he will do well, Corluka is a lot cheaper than lescott and i bumped bridge who will play every game, this lets me add Arshavin to my midfeild AND make him captain, which is always nice.

I'm thinking of dropping either Keane or Gabby for a player valued around 6 and upgrade a midfeilder.

what ya think lads?

jesus_thats_gre · 14-07-2009 07:28PM

I like the idea of picking 3 wingbacks.. Makes quite a lot of sense.

I wouldn't be making any excuses for picking Bramble either tbh.

Not quite sure what Cattermole or Fletcher would offer in terms of points though.

Personally I would yeah. Gaby out for Beattie or something like that and use the extra 2.5 elsewhere imo (perhaps Cattermole out Lennon/Modric in?).

Yeah, thats why im thinking of downgrading the strikers and addding a more creative/goal scoring midfeild player.

Was think that with fletcher playing most games till hargreaves gets back they eh will clock up a good few points?

Also, Cattermole scored 86 last year so at 5 he isnt too bad?

I just swapped Cattermole for Dempsey, Fletcher for Modric and Keane and Gabby for Crouch and Beatie...

So the Team is now

1: Given

2: Ashely Cole
3: Evra
4: Bridge

5: Ireland
6: Ashley Young
7: Dempsey
8: Modric
9: Arshavin

10: Beatie
11: Crouch

Subs:
GK: Sorensen
DF: Corluka
DF: Bramble
FW: Doyle.

Morzadec · 14-07-2009 07:51PM

What are people making of O'Shea at 5.5? It seems a bargain, but then again can't be guaranteed he would start. United fans especially, what are your opinions? surely JOS is number one right-back at the moment and therefore 5.5 is a great price?

Daemos · 14-07-2009 08:31PM

My temporary LFCXTRM team at the moment, which wil surely change before the start of the season:

1: Reina
2: Neville
3: O'Shea
4: Terry
5: Brown
6: Richardson
7: Geovanni
8: Kuyt
9: Young A
10: Kanu
11: Torres (C)

12: Jaaskelainen
13: Corluka
14: Utaka
15: Johnson A

Seaneh · 14-07-2009 08:50PM

No offence but that has to be the weakest side I've seen so far...

shiibata · 14-07-2009 08:52PM

Picked the following for now;

sorenson

Hangelaad ----

o shea ----

a. cole

lampard----carrick----dempsey----kuyt

s. reid --

owen

drogba

subs; schwarzer, murphy(sun/hull), zayette, dawson

Axwell · 14-07-2009 08:55PM

Wouldnt bet on 2 of your Man Utd players starting many games (O' Shea and Owen)

Daemos · 14-07-2009 08:55PM

Now you see why I called it a "temporary" side that will "surely change" before the season starts

I know its dodgy but thinking he will give Owen a shout there as its birmingham and burnley up 1st for them. Will have good idea, closer the time

Im_No_Superman · 14-07-2009 09:01PM

No Superman Utd provisional team:

Given

Evra
Hangeland
Baines

Lampard
Dempsey
Pienaar
Arshavin

Beattie
Rooney
Doyle

Subs:
Hart
Ridgewell
Shawcross
McSheffrey

eirebhoy · 14-07-2009 10:30PM

Modric or Essien? atm I have Modric I'm still 50/50.

Seaneh · 14-07-2009 10:35PM

modric is probably more points tbh...
I'm trying to make the same choice...

JPA · 14-07-2009 11:06PM

Essien is great but he scores quite rarely, although usually they are belters.
Modric should be better this year if used properly.
Could be a star in fact.

Mezcita · 14-07-2009 11:52PM

Ah sure, lets have both in the team.

1: Green
2: Corluka
3: Baines
4: Evra
5: Modric
6: Gerrard(C)
7: Jimenez
8: Essien
9: Arshavin
10: Cole
11: Defoe

12: Brown
13: Zayatte
14: Collins
15: Bent

Jimenez could play up front for the Hammers if Ashton moves to Stoke.

Jugs82 · 15-07-2009 11:41AM

Changed everything

Given

Evra

Cole

Zabaletta

Arshavin---Gerrard---Lampard---Essien---Muamba

Doyle

Fletcher

Subs:

Hart, Ridgewell, Zayatte & Murphy (Hoping he heads to Hull)

Too many left backs.

Necronomicon · 15-07-2009 12:00PM

Tosic is a bit of a mind-boggling choice. There's no way he'll be regular enough to justify a place in the starting line up.

Santa Cruz is a bit of a risk with Tevez and the impending Adebayor signing - might be lots of rotation up front for City.

dublinhead · 15-07-2009 12:04PM

I agree, Picking any Man City forwards is a high risk move! Hughes will do well to keep them all happy.

thewools · 15-07-2009 12:38PM

As it stands so far:

WORK IN PROGRESS

1: Sorensen

2: Zhirkov
3: Hangeland
4: Lescott
5: Ridgewell
6: Vidic

7: Jimenez
8: Kuyt
9: Arshavin
10: Lampard

11: Beattie

12: Hart
13: Doyle
14: Mendy
15: Benitez

Will be looking to play a 5-4-1 or 4-5-1 formation for most of the year as it shows that strikers are not the bread earners!!!

Not sure about Zhirkov - where will he play? A.Cole wont be dropped thats for sure!! Left Wing I presume? Could be rotated with Malouda perhaps which might be bad!!

Would love to have Gerrard, Lampard and Arshavin all in the middle but decided to strengthen my defense and start Kuyt instead!!! :rolleyes:

1mcampo1 · 15-07-2009 12:38PM

Will probably definetly end up changing this by the time the season kicks off :rolleyes:

Opinions
