    Still on the WC, price rise websites are doing my nut, looking at Wellbeck and Falco, currently have Sturridge, Naismith, and Costa. Looking like Sturridge could get the chop tonight for Wellbeck (missed the rise last night), any thoughts on who else next?

    Sturridge is defo out. Theyre aim at having him fit for the Derby, which is in GW6. At his price and with his current points i would say he will drop before then.

    Falcao doesnt have a work permit....as yet though.

    On the wild card still so I'll swap out Ramsey for Mata, pretty much a straight swap back in and Utd playing a poor QPR side. *prepares for Mata 2 pointer*

    Had an extra transfer left over from the last game week, where I had intended to move Costa out and inadvertently left him as Captain (:D) - so my transfers for this week were Jovetic and Hazard out - Sterling and Rooney in.

    Going to leave Costa with the Captaincy too.

    Wait until Saturday morning if doing this. Mata could well drop tonight or Friday.

    Have done something similar but brought Nasri in. "Will play well against his former side" is my reasoning.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,606 ✭✭✭boccy23


    On that note, going forward, Nasri or Silva?
    Who plays more?

    Well Silva always plays when he's fit and this is unlikely to change. Nasri seems to be an ever present also but some decent form from Navas could see some pressure on him. Personally I'd prefer Nasri but for the reasons outlined it's a risk and I know very few here will agree:p. I don't have the stats but i'd be interested to see them I suppose, it seems to me that Nasri shoots a lot more than Silva but Silva has that great knack of often being in the right place at the right time to pick up rebounds etc.

    Another price rise for Welbeck, I thought I was keeping a close eye on his transfers in but yet he's risen twice.

    No he hasn't.

    Liverpool updates for the weekend if anyone is interested:
    Johnson, Skrtel, Flanagan, Sturridge and Can Out. Allen doubtful.
    Lallana is fit.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,206 ✭✭✭Lucas Hood


    Falcao work permit sorted so he's available for the weekend.

    Where did you see that?
    Have seen that there are no issues but not that it has been granted.

    FFScout said Yoshida is most at risk there.

    I reckon the back line will be:

    Clyne - Alderweireld - Fonte - Bertrand

    Any hints on him starting from a worried Rvp owner.

    Hoows Phil Jones getting on lads?

    Report in yesterday's Independent reckoned United will be giving a few debuts and that Rojo, Blind and Shaw are ready to come in for players like Jones who is expected to miss out through injury.

    No actual quotes from anyone though and no mention of Falcao.

    keep them!

    You will have to buy them back for 0.2 more the following week

    Think I'll offload Ramsey and keep Costa

    Good man. Make sure you do it now though as you'll talk yourself out of it. I have the opposite problem. I usually try to bring him in but the voice in my head doesn't let me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,581 ✭✭✭Irish_rat


    Thoughts on Balotelli? Have Rooney and Costa


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 148 ✭✭Pipjam


    Just seen this from Ben Dinnery on Twitter. He's a freelance journo and was asked about Jones.

    @BenDinnery: @aforscutt Personally NO - expecting to hear a grade one tear

    That's not so bad then, was sure I seen he was £6.8m at one stage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 506 ✭✭✭D_turbo


    Had Jovetic and with him out i swapped in for dzeko,

    few Other injury concerns but ill work around them rather then swap them out for sake of one game

    Was there really a need to make this transfer yet? Pellegrini usually has his press conference at lunch time on Friday I'm sure he'll give some info on Jovetic then.

    Is it worth going with a potential starting 9 players (3 subs wont play and Jones and Costa maybe out) or use a -4 for Jones?

    Starting XI is

    Begovic

    Azpilicueta
    Chambers
    Jones
    Lovren

    Fabregas
    Mata
    Sanchez

    Costa
    Welbeck
    Rooney
