    I have 3 players doubtful (Jones, Ramsey and Costa) and 1 player out for months (de Jong). Have no FT's and not playing wildcard. Hopefully said 3 will all play.

    With RVP and Rooney still in my team, I'd be delighted

    Why do you have Rooney & RVP in your team :eek:

    You can't think of any reasons why I might have put Rooney and RVP in my team? None?

    Its a pretty weird strategy to be honest, two expensive players from a very misfiring team at the moment, when there are much better options.

    The Colombian media are reporting the work permit shouldn't be a problem for Falcao.

    If you have the WC in your back pocket it's potentially a great strategy. United play an awful QPR team. Meanwhile, Sturridge: injury doubt. Costa: Injury doubt. Aguero: playing Arsenal. Then you can wildcard next week.

    Yeah it could work out very nicely, I'd find it hard to trust them enough at the moment though to have my top two strikers playing for them, one at most. If Costa was definitely injured it would be an interesting strategy I suppose.

    Hopefully he won't get his permit til after the weekend - the top 5 lads in my league have all brought him in

    Clearly I didn't transfer them both in this week!!!

    And QPR play an awful United team!

    That's why I included the word 'potentially'!

    Have to say that Ramsey is not playing all that well at the moment so he is certainly not nailed on in my team. There is a surplus of good premium midfielders this year so Ramsey's place is in doubt. I have bigger transfer concerns in my team at the moment but his form needs to improve if he is to remain in my team

    I am strongly considering transferring out terry and upgrading Ramsey to Hazard over the next few weeks.

    He has scored 2 goals in 3 games, and was on fire last season, only for injury, If he's in your team and your not playing him, then that would be just a waste of 9m.

    How essential os Sterling at this point do yis reckon.

    Great fixtures, good form, Sturridge out. Rotation around CL maybe the only risk.

    Mata to Sterling the obvious move for me but I really really want Mario. Bigger risk but I think he could be excellent for the next while. In the limelight without Studge, dropped by Italy, point to prove. It certainly ain't gonna be boring!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,031 ✭✭✭✭Ace2007


    How likely is Sagna to keep his place at city or is he a rotation risk?

    Also how much game time would Remy be likely to get at Chelsea?

    Difference with Sterling and Mario, I don't think you'll get many assists out of him, were as sterling will give you both.

    Remy will spend more time on the bench than on the pitch imo.
    Not worth a penny in FPL money.

    Have no idea about Sagna.

    Barring injury to costa and Zabaletta I couldn't see either start more than 8 games all season.

    I would love to go with Rooney over Aguero till gw6 but not sure I have the bottle to go through with it or even Falcao.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,054 ✭✭✭IK09


    Hoows Phil Jones getting on lads?

    To be honest, I kind of feel like its one of those cases where no news is bad news.

    Same for me. After watching him limp off I'd be amazed if he's fit for the weekend

    Cheers. 4 "Doubtful's" in my side. Costa, Jones, Hazard, Foster. Might be forced into using my WC

    I have Jones, Ramsey and Costa. If I knew even 1 of those would play, I'd probably hold off the wildcard. I do feel there's good chance one of Costa or Ramsey will play.

    Jones, Ramsey and Jovetic here. To be fair, after all the football was played last GW I was already planning to take out Ramsey and Jovetic, just want Jones to be fit but don't see it.
