very strange week so far, I'm not too sure how this can be so but it appears from my own score that the weekly average (31) is enough for green arrows inside the top 10k

I got 28(-4) and have dropped 250 places to 1093. My three digit finish is in jeopardy.

GillespieRoad · 04-05-2014 09:21PM

Got 0 today due to Ramsey and Azpi not playing. This week has destroyed my team injury/rested wise: Chester, Azpi, Ramsey, Nasri knock, Agüero and Rooney all from my starting lineup! So still on 31 and down from 145 to 185 :rolleyes:

IsMiseMyself · 04-05-2014 09:21PM

Well I'm on 28 (-8) and I've fallen 15,000 places to around 50k.

Who do you have still to play though??

Suarez and Lallana to sub in with 3. Then I have 8 potential doublers:

Mannone, Mata, Kompany and Evra should play. Aguero, Rooney and Yaya are touch and go. Chester is definitely gone.

zarquon · 04-05-2014 10:25PM

Looks like Aguero, Rooney and Ramsey injuries as well as the azpi no show are the nail in the coffin for me in my main money league. It's a sickening way to go down

manual_man · 04-05-2014 10:57PM

Norwich came today. They parked the bus. Mickey T drove it..

Haven't been in touch with sports news today...is Rooney likely to play any part next game also is Aguero def out for next day?

Based on my current downward trend and luck (Yes, half my team injured is unlucky!) i would say no. Giggs says that Rooney has a chance and Aguero reckons he only went off as a precaution but the way that wuss is at the moment he would declare himself unfit if he got a paper cut. I hate players like that who are petrified of injury before a world cup. RVP is another one that oftens declares himself unfit when he is supposed to be okay to play.

I desperately need both Aguero and Rooney to play and to put in a decent shift each. Hull are safe now so Rooney could score well if he is fit.

FHFC · 04-05-2014 11:25PM

Man its been a rough week. Rooney, Aguero, Ramsey I took on the chin, Dzeko did me big damage but Azpi really hurt!

Still on 36 with 2 sub points to come though, and still only 12 and 7 behind my rivals for third in my league. And somehow up to inside the top 10k. So plenty of people must be having worse weeks.

Suarez, Zab, De Gea, Mata, Brown and Yaya fairly sure to play yet, and hopefully some kinda appearance from captain Aguero. Maybe maybe maybe Rooney will even show up and it'll become a good oul week yet.

PARlance · 04-05-2014 11:36PM

So my failure to make any transfers this week has paid off so far: transfers were
Evans -> Zab
Suarez -> Rooney
Lukaku -> Aguero

I'm not counting my chickens just yet, I've a felling the FPL gods will leave the masses in a better place by the end of the GW.

No points hit obv.
44 points at present.
Barkley VC to C will net me another 9 and Olsson on the bench with 5 sees me up to 58.

Now that's luck

Suarez,
DeGea, Evans(?), Chester(?), Mata, Yaya, Dzeko left to come...

A United CS (come on Giggs, give Evans a run) and a few Dzeko goals would be ideal.

173k at the moment, hoping to pox my way into top 150k by the end of season.

Hopefully he starts, knocks in a couple and then RVP comes on for a one pointer.

Id be very surprised if the both of them dont start. Hernandez got his start sat so that takes him out of the equation. Once they both avoid an injury relapse in training I think giggs will go 442 with the two big guns up front. With rvp on pens;) Mata could be in danger of dropping to the bench if the 2 lads are fit.

Is RVP ready to start a game though? He only got 24 minutes when United were chasing the game. I'd more expect him to get a half on Tuesday and then start on Sunday.

That's what I'm hoping anyway.

cant see why not he was only out 5-6 weeks and is back in full training 10 days now. Even though I brought him in I didnt expect him to start against sinderland it was the hull game I got him in for. Much the same situation as aguero in the last dgw out for over 6 weeks eased in against liverpool and then started the next game of the double.

That keep Demel on my bench and could have negative repercussions for mata too so he better score !

For me (and I admit some of it is hope), the niggling is why wasn't he brought on before 66 minutes? United were chasing the game. Why wasn't he chanced earlier?

You have your star striker on the bench and surely if he's near match fit you give him more than 24 minutes when losing at home.

Plus:

@ManUtd: .@Persie_Official close to a return. RG: "Robin's looked good in training. Whether tomorrow is too early, we'll just see how he goes today."

Giggs said that on Friday. He's not too assured of his fitness there.

I also think the City and United situations are different. City are chasing the title and needed Aguero back and fit. United aren't chasing anything worthwhile. Why risk starting RVP in a nothing game? If he needs starts, he can start on Sunday.

Aguero also only got 57 minutes in that Sunderland mid week game when he started. Didn't reach the 60.

Wellbeck is also in the equation as well.

Of course, alot of these arguments could also be made about Rooney who I also have.

Rosco79 · 05-05-2014 11:00AM

One thing Giggs proved on Saturday is that he's no Oracle.... he finished the game against Sunderland with RVP, Chico and Welbeck on the pitch having removed Mata and in the process stripped the team of any attacking balance and structure, from recollection none of these had a decent chance (or even a chance in the last 25mins) with Vidic the closest to scoring in the second half.

On the evidence of Saturday he probably will start Rooney and RVP regardless of whether they are 100% but without Mata they will have a lot more work to do to score...

Lemlin · 05-05-2014 11:06AM

Any news on Sturridge? Suarez is a differential for me now so could do with him starting through the middle tonight.

I can see Liverpool struggling to break down a very disciplined Palace team.

Same. My rival had Terry and Cahill. He bags 17 points from the game, I bag 0 for Azpil. Puts him ahead of me for the first time in months once f**king Alonso comes off the bench. Nullifys the luck I got for the Mannone clean sheet and any future Sunderland clean sheets. The lad is playing with 10 fit players in his squad of 15, captained Wickham (after Mata last week) and will more than likely pip me to the league (and a four figure swing) right at the death. This is after me telling him all year you can't simply ride your luck in this game over 38 gameweeks. Turns out you can, and he's been the first to admit it.

Have Skrtel, Suarez, Puncheon, and possibly Ward to play later (depending on Rooney). Not even sure what to hope for. My rival has Suarez and possibly Ince. I'll be watching it with Pool fans so should hope for a win. 3-2 Liverpool with Skrtel and Puncheon involved. More likely 2's and 1's all round...

Sturridge is expected to start

City broke them down in third gear and would expect Liverpool to do the same unless of course Lpool just implode now

IsMiseMyself · 05-05-2014 12:32PM

I'm hoping Liverpool can somehow put about six past Palace, with Sterling scoring all of them. :pac:

FHFC · 05-05-2014 02:19PM

Yaya Touré was also substituted, but that was planned as he eases his way back to fitness following his recent lay-off.“It was very important I came off,” Touré said. “It has been difficult for me in a short space of time to recover from injury and prepare physically. If you are not fully prepared it is very tough, because these games are 100 per cent and coming back is always difficult, especially at the end of the season.”

Hull to make changes for Old Trafford trip; Chester definitely out. Could be a blowout if ManU are up for it.

The Wild Bunch · 05-05-2014 02:50PM

A brace from Stevie Me would be most welcome

alchemist33 · 05-05-2014 03:11PM

A sending off for Stevie Me would be most welcome.

roryc · 05-05-2014 03:15PM

Skrtel, now's your time to shine kid.

Lemlin · 05-05-2014 04:36PM

3-1 Liverpool would be nice. A Suarez brace and assist to a Coutinho goal.

Anyone but Puncheon or Ward for Palace please.
