Even if he doesn;t start i think he'll want to give him 25/30 minutes so enough time to do damage.

The only player I would be in anyway comfortable benching out of that lot would be Fellaini, and he's at home to a Reading side which conceded three at home to Stoke. It's a toss up between RVP & Fellaini for the bench for me. If it wasn't for the Madrid game and United's PL lead, RVP would be starting, no question. As it is though......

roryc wrote: » Yeah I think the gamble a few of us took on RVP hasn't worked out. I didn't expect him to start last week and was banking on United getting past Real. Unfortunately a shocking ref has put an end to that! Still not guaranteed to bring him back in, if Rooney is fit I might go with him instead. But I do think RVP should play every league game from now on.

The chances he was putting away earlier in the season are now being fluffed. Shots on target are now hopeless efforts. It's Chelsea on Saturday so he needs to find the form very quickly.
roryc wrote: » Form aside, the reason I got rid was because I though he would miss 2 or maybe even 3 of the four games. He's already played 60 minutes of the first, and will most likely start the next three. On that basis the gamble has failed. Whether we'll get punished for it is another thing. If RVP draws a blank over the next two weeks I'll consider myself lucky, it doesn't take away from the fact that the reason I took him out in the first place didn't work out.
FutureGuy wrote: » Now that WHU game looks like dropping out of GW29, he will surely start vs Reading at home. You have 2 weeks to get him in and 30+ points in the bank from the Suarez heroics. On that basis, the transfer worked.
roryc wrote: » I didn't transfer him out for Suarez, I transferred him out for Lambert. Already had Suarez... So -3 points in the bank! And (IF I choose to get him back) I'll have lost £0.3m, + spent 2 transfers to get him IN/OUT. If Lambert scores this weekend it will make it a good move, monetarily at least. Doesn't take away from the fact that I think it was the right move under the circumstances.

I assume you got 13.5 for him you will be able to buy him back for 13.7 plus Im sure you got a .1 rise off lambert all in all costing you .1. Lambert plays 180 mins as opposed to rvps 60 mins. Going forward you have great flexibility in your team now, rvp has 1 goal in 8 games now and theres still fear of rotation IMO. If RVP starts against chelsea I agree with slickric theres a chance he wont start against reading. 2 mar norwich 5 mar real 10 mar chelsea 16 mar reading he then plays two games for holland 30 mar sunderland Potential FA cup replay if they draw sunday 8 Apr man city Reading at home is the one game to potentially give him a rest and and Ill probably get rooney in for that game instead of RVP as rooney will definetely start and now has a point to prove. The golden boot point lemlin makes is definetely a factor for getting him back in though. I reckon the key point is you now have the flexibility to make that decision week on week.
