I play alot of this game based on history and previous stats and they have shown that, bar that one season, there are always better options than Rooney available. The stats above continue to show that this is the case again so far this season.

This game is all about making the most of the budget available to you and Rooney doesn't do that.

I just think he's rowing in with the usual English bias you get on the BBC. I pointed it out earlier in the season too. Ross Barkley got a five minute link on him yet Robbie Brady was superb with a goal, assist and almost a second assist yet barely got a mention.

I also think its a ludicrous point for him to come out with given that Rooney could barely get his place at United six months ago.

Fair enough, just another quick question from an FPL rookie(virtually), you say one season but what about 09/10 when he got 26 goals in the league, I know there were other big hitters around also but surely he wasn't a bad asset to have that year either?
I think you're being a little unfair with the could barely get his game stuff, I think there may have been more going on there than meets the eye, in either case he's in far better form and physical shape this year, the exact same can be said about Aguero.

I'm really considering making a Moses to Townsend switch today. I know it's risky with the Capital One Cup during the week and injuries may occur but I don't want to pay extra for Townsend or have Moses decrease in price, what does everyone think of that switch and the timing of it?

manual_man · 27-10-2013 01:56PM

already got in harper for bego, nicely freeing up some cash

squad now:

harper - mignolet
johnson - ivanovic - huth - coleman - rafael
r.morrisson - ramsey - hazard - toure - januzaj
lukaku - rooney - sturridge

1.7 in the bank

Mr.Prodston · 27-10-2013 02:00PM

I have Rooney because he's the performing forward for Manchester United right now. I would dearly love to bring Aguero in as I think he's a cracking player but isn't consistent in output either. Be it by being rotated or having injury problems of his own.

As of right now I don't think there's a right or wrong option and both players have their merits. Rooney scored a goal, an assist and 3 BPs yesterday so I was very content. Not having Aguero next week would be a worry, especially as I still remember the performance that yielded 2 goals? for both Tevez and Sergio the season before last.

The way my mind was thinking last night was possibly dumping Lukaku for Aguero and using my midfield boosting kitty on that for a few weeks. Suarez, Rooney and Aguero as a front 3 is turning my head right now :pac:

KevIRL · 27-10-2013 02:16PM

There's a plethora of good forward options at the moment. The likes of Suarez, Augero, Rooney, Lukaku, Giroud, Sturridge, RVP, Benteke could score big on any given GW or get on a good run at any time

Then there is another lot just below who could also hit points in a big way at any time and get a consistent run, Lambert, Soldado, Torres, Negredo, Remy.

The trick is trying to having the right ones at the right times, I dont think there's anyone who is absolutely essential at all times above the others. For example I have had Giroud for a good while now and would have considered him a keeper till the January transfer window due to Arsenal's lack of striker options but am now considering getting rid for Augero, not that I think Giroud will go to $hit but just that Augero looks to be a better option for coming weeks

I'm also glancing one eye over at Torres but need to be disciplined!

Swiper the fox · 27-10-2013 02:16PM

If I had my wildcard that would be my front 3 at the moment(Suarez, Rooney and Aguero), there's enough mid price midfield and defensive performers to manage it very easily, it will take me about 5 or 6 weeks to manage it without big points hits and I'm not sure if it's worth it, Sturridge is playing brilliantly, could easily have had a hat trick himself, I'm not sure that Suarez is worth the extra 2m it'll cost to change them without the flexibility of the wildcard manoeuvrings.

I'm still looking at Rooney out for Aguero despite what I've said above, it'll be a few weeks away though and while Rooney's in my team I won't have him bad mouthed:P

I don't have access to the 09/10 points totals but found this article

http://fantasypremierleaguetransfers.com/stats-2/best-forwards-for-fantasy-football/

Drogba scored more. Bent and Tevez both scored slightly less and I'd imagine they were cheaper. Iused2likebusts made the point and agreed with me before that its not always Rooney's returns have been the problem, it has also often been his price.

I'm playing this game since 06, have done well most years, and have only once had Rooney consistently in my team.

In all fairness, you don't agree with Hansen and I've posted the stats which show there are better options available at Rooney's price so I can't see what your point is with continuing to post?

Rooney scored 224 points in 09/10. 26 goals, 6 assists a huge 46 bonus points as well

You know what any of the other strikers scored and what price he was compared to others?

Drogba scored 29 goals and 10 assists.
Tevez 23 goals, 7 assists.

Your stats appear wrong too. This lists Rooney as 26 goals, 3 assists.

This is a terribly arrogant post if you don't mind me saying, no offence like.

Well the FPL site says 6 assists, so I'd imagine that's who we'd be interested in

I only got the stats from the FPL site itself. So ya, it must be wrong. :rolleyes:

I wasn't aware they could be pulled off it like that. My apologies. In fairness, there's not much use posting Rooney's stats without those of others.

My point re him is that a better use of your budget is generally always available.

To put Rooney's points in perspective that year, he scored 224 points that year and cost 12 million. Darren Bent cost 7 million and scored 195.

I can't get Tevez or Drogba's stats as they have left the league but Drogba definitely would of out scored him.

The top scoring player that year was Lampard. 284 points. 60 more than Rooney.

Iused2likebusts · 27-10-2013 03:34PM

with regard rooney Ive never really had him in my team in seasons gone by and still dont this year. However he is favourably priced this year and seems to be the first name on moyes teamsheet so I would see him as a good option this year. For now I prefer aguero who I'll get in for sturridge. But like others have mentioned I can see myself with a strikeforce of suarez, rooney, aguero at some stage in the future. Maybe I should go into politics I think I have managed to agree with all sides in this debate;)

I'm looking at Suarez, Aguero and Lukaku myself.

I still think a more expensive mid like Walcott, Hazard, Michu or Oscar will come forward and stake a claim like Ozil has.

Ill have suarez aguero lukaku from next week. Over the xmas period I maybe looking at rooney as moyes seems to play him every minute possible.

Scorpion Sting · 27-10-2013 04:19PM

With Eriksen not starting today he's definitely getting the boot this week. Looking at his clubmate Townsend for his replacement. Also debating whether to get Aguero in, depends on what happens today I suppose but more than likely will get him in ahead of the Norwich game.

alchemist33 · 27-10-2013 04:21PM

Eriksen out.

But for who -- Oscar, Hazard or Silva?

Mike Ehrmantraut · 27-10-2013 04:22PM

Eriksen not playing again today. Had kept patience with him, but today was the last straw!

Thinking of getting Suarez in for Sturridge next week , so max I can spend on a replacement for Eriksen is 6.4, thinking one from Lallana, Morrison or Brady.

Any suggestions?

Bit of a toss of a coin really, guess wait and see how they get on today

FearDark · 27-10-2013 04:27PM

Junancy in...Barkley out. I didn't really need to change anything else.

I'd go with Lallana. He reminds me of Charlie Adam at Blackpool a few seasons back this year.

A huge amount of Southampton's play involves him.

jma · 27-10-2013 04:57PM

I have Giroud, Suarez, and Sturridge. My plan was to get Aguero in for Sturridge, but am now leaning towards a Giroud/Aguero transfer. I hate letting Giroud go, as I've had from the start, and he's been good to me

But Liverpool have pretty good fixtures ahead, after the Arsenal game. If I make this transfer, I'll be left with just Ramsey. Any thoughts?

My options are:
Aguero/Suarez/Sturridge
Aguero/Suarez/Giroud

I'd go with the second option, you already have suarez so will still have Liverpool cover for these fixtures and giroud is in good form and has no real competition for places.
I suppose you could also argue, neither does sturridge have any real competition in the system Liverpool play.

Fully agreed, Giroud is as nailed on as you can get and is in a team that creates chance after chance plus you have great Liverpool coverage in Suarez.

Mr.Prodston · 27-10-2013 06:48PM

Ashley Williams will most likely be that second defender in having played today...4.8 is a great price too and just enough to squeeze Aguero in...or Torres now :pac:

G1032 · 27-10-2013 07:08PM

Who do ye think I should get?
Lallana or Ramsey in for Michu?
