I was just pointing out there is a template team developing and people that think outside the box e.g sturridge will sometimes change their mind due to what the pack are going with. Rooney has been in my team since day 1 as I felt he was a better option starting off with than rvp. I agree with rory C never let who you support or have a dislike for cloud your judgement when selecting FF players. For me the facts are sturridge has been the most consistent goalscorer(bar suarez) in the PL over his 18 months at liverpool. For that reason Im going with sturridge and Rooney.

I'd keep sturridge he has scored goals consistently for 18 months with or without suarez in the team. If sturridge gets a couple pre season teams around here will start to get him in. Very few teams had rooney until he scored a couple against galaxy. I think you have to go with your gut instinct it's very easy to be sucked into a template team which inevitably develops on the likes of here and ffs. Most teams are utd defender, chelsea defender ,debuchy, ramsey or sanchez, hazard or fab, rooney it used to be Rvp.

I agree he may be overpriced but a drop of 1mil putting him on par with Rooney cost wise (£10.5m) seems more appropriate. 3mil cheaper then RVP who spent most of last season sidelined would be a joke.

Slight concern over Pellé & my defence however! Serious budget backline :rolleyes: Obviosly big question marks over whether Wisdom will even be a regular starter same goes for Mariappa and Targett (who i have only put in due to seeing his name thrown about the forum a few times now) I'll be playing 3-4-3 most weeks though so not overly concerned once the subs are all regular starters. Could save 1mil to spend elsewhere transferring Sturridge out For Rooney which seems the Popular choice around here but With Mata in Midfield I feel like im Ok for Utd cover now and as I have said in previous posts I want to have someone from the attacking options from Liverpool in my team. Judging by most of the teams on here having Sturridge or any Liverpool option could be a nice differential early on too! Anyone any thoughts?
GetWithIt wrote: » So few teams posted so far here have Sturridge yet he's the third most popular player in the game so far. I had in him initially but, at the moment, am veering towards a stronger midfield and dropping him. I feel he's maybe 0.5 overpriced - though, again, 30.4% of team managers is hard to argue with. "Great minds think alike, but fools seldom differ." Not sure where the Boards.ie posters are going to fall on this maxim.
roryc wrote: » 25% of managers have Tim Howard. 28% have Barkley. I wouldn't put too much faith in the masses! Sturridge is far too over priced, he should be about £9.5m. Some people just want certain players regardless of the cost.
roryc wrote: » As much as I rate him, I wouldn't have Sturridge near my team. And as much as I would love to have both Pelle and Tadic, I want to see more of them before bringing them in. Your team is pretty weak imo - Williamson up against City, Siggy up against United, no Rooney/RVP... you only have one defender worth anything and that's the untested Luis. Paying £11.5m for Sturridge when Rooney is on offer for £10.5m is madness!
