A few different sources are stating he may be rested.

oh ok cheers, i actually have 2 people playing at home on the bench so i might bring them in for sterling if this seems likely that he'll be rested.
I have nelsen at home to fulham and crouch at home to everton on my bench.
would rather start one of them if sterling is likely to be a sub and possibly get only 1 point, on the other hand, if he does start at home to villa he could easily pick up and assist.

Begovic (Home to Everton)

or

Schwarzer (Away to QPR)

I'd always go with the home keeper, especially with the way stoke have been playing at the back. the thing is most people will have 1 (or even 2 or 3 in some cases) stoke defenders so if ou don't put begovic in and they keep a clean sheet you'd be losing ground on most people.

i'm not sure i believe the rumours about Sterling, based on what colour bib he was wearing when some photographs were taken of all things, he's been a definite starter and Liverpool aren't exactly flush in good wing options

no Evans for United, but Vidic in, so Smalling probably still won't start.

i still have fúcking Smalling, and I kind of wish i didn't.

He is still debating whether to start Vidic or not, so Smalling may still start.

Would ye recommend Sess > Dempsey?

buyer95 · 14-12-2012 03:07PM

Whats the chances Bale will play Sunday? If he plays, I think I'll give him the captaincy...

just saw that. alot of people could be in trouble fielding an XI this week. thankfully i'm not one of them

I'd imagine Dempsey will comfortably outscore Sess for the rest of the season, question is, is he worth over 9m. I have him at the moment and am very happy to, not too many have Dempsey so if it's a gamble you are after to give you an edge then he could be your man.

SlickRic · 14-12-2012 04:03PM

Suarez and Rooney are the players that scare me this week.

i need Dempsey and Berba to step up, as well as captain VP. i'm at about 30% i reckon in terms of good captain choices this season. that needs to improve if i'm to keep my position high.

I'm definitely " one of those guys... I have Hazard, Cole, and Bale all unavailable, this is giving me serious headaches:mad:. I think Ill get Cazorla in for Hazard, and take my chances with my subs. I really thought Bale would make it back for this game... Looking like my choice to keep him for the last few gameweeks may have been ill-advised..

Camo22 · 14-12-2012 05:39PM

Put Suarez as captaino and have Defoe in... Bit worried that about RVP against reading though. It's a big decision this week!!

buyer95 · 14-12-2012 05:55PM

Cazorla or Dempsey(getting rid of Hazaed) , or someone else?

I think someone has said Bale is definitely ruled out in of the threads!

15-12-2012 01:01AM

Enrique is down to 50% chance of playing. If he doesnt play i only have 10 players. Might bring Joey o' brien in for him, he'll play and i'll bank some money, meaning i can change Nolan and Beratov for Bale and Tevez over the next 2 weeks.

irish son · 15-12-2012 01:02AM

Who should I start this week Nelson (H Fulham) or Turner (H Wigan)? Have the strange situation of having all my defenders at home this weekend.

Turner

basillarkin · 15-12-2012 01:08AM

turner just back from injury, he might not get back into the Norwich backfour who have been performing well in the league in his absent, in saying this he is the likely partner for Bassong

It's a good team, but there's one major flaw to it, and that is no United attacking player. I also think having 3 Liverpool players is overkill. Although I understand the arguments for having each of them as individuals, I feel you leave yourself too exposed when Liverpool fail to perform.

If I had Enrique and Sterling, I'd feel happy enough that that would cover me for Liverpool players and use the .9 to bring in Rooney for Suarez.

Next week, get Sess out. There's definitely better around at that price or cheaper, like Nolan for example.

irish son · 15-12-2012 02:37AM

Turner it is so

OneColdHand · 15-12-2012 03:18AM

I'm leaving Clyne in my team, so that I'll have some points coming off the bench at the end of the gameweek.

Why? To annoy people in my private leagues! That's just how I roll!

Sidenote: anyone know if there's any chance of Foster starting? Nice fixture for West Brom, and he's gone from Red to Orange.

Cazorla because he's at the heart of Arsenal's attack and their fixtures look real ripe. I'm trying to figure out how I can finagle him into my team which already has Mata and Bale. I feel like that kid who used to play Pokemon and was forced to choose Squirtle, Bulbasaur, or Charmander...

Feeder · 15-12-2012 08:08AM

Begovic

Rafael, Sagna, Shawcross

Arteta, Sterling, Fellani, Michu

Rooney(vc), Defoe, Tevez(c)

Subs: Jaask, Mata, Olsson, Cuellar

Santi101 · 15-12-2012 08:22AM

Interesting side, not seen too many with Arteta and Sagna(as an Arsenal fan).

I would probably look at downgrading a defender or two, get one or two 4-5m rated players and then you can get another top midfielder instead of Arteta perhaps. Maybe Suarez in attack if he returns to what he was doing a few weeks ago.

I have Mata on the bench and he is playing well so he goes straight in, usually its a shoot out between Arteta and Sterling, luckily I guessed right in G16.

Worried about Tevez as Captain tbh, if he outscores RVP I will be happy
