ADM, Hazard or sanchez only taking this weekends game into consideration?

On paper Sanchez. Sunderland will want to bounce back but can they? They've been destroyed last week and are probably still shocked. Arsenal should be fired up after their late comeback yesterday.

Hazard facing the current United defense could do big damage though.

I would forget about ADM if it's only for this game. We don't even know yet if he'll be fit for the game.

Considering that I'll bench Wilson against Southampton...

Moore (Away to Swansea) or Duff (Home to Everton) ?

I also have Wilson and am also benching but I'm considering playing pVA against arsenal . Expect them to tighten up and get a reaction . However poyet will drop a few so who knows of he will play
After that I'm left with Wilson or Moore as well........both will concede so it's a tough call
Gonna go with home defender pVA anyway and hope for the best !

Our 4 million FSA Leicester legend Liam Moore is being linked with Chelsea and City in the papers today :D:D:D

Would be a nightmare if he moved in Jan. Wouldn't be starting for either of them

Anybody playing the fantasyleague.com version of the game?

Playing it for the first time this season and i'm really enjoying it! it has its own set of challenges (quite distinct from say the official game). For those unaware, it is a paid game (£10/£15/£20 options), with the main competition and some other secondary competitions for interest, all with various prizes up for grabs. Anyway just curious if any other FSA folk are playin it, if there's genuine interest i may set up a dedicated thread!

Its nice to have some alternatives

I'd be interested but I have no team set up. Is it too late to set up a league were everyone starts from scratch?

Aguero starts for City this evening...

not surprised, it's a must win for them. Hopefully they've the game won by 60 mins and he can have a rest

In fairness though, this is actually a season, like I said last week, where plenty of people have found themselves with additional transfers. Have a look at the past two Transfer threads and you'll find people using transfers because they have had to.

I myself did Dummett to Duff one week. Would have happily left that transfer.

Thats happened as teams became more settled (and similar). And also with a good number of gameweeks to make better informed decisions. Its handy to have a gameweek when you have 2 F/T and no pressing changes, but its also a rarity.

I agree its used out of context, but not in this case ! ! !

And r e . the price rises, at what cost tho? Points lost and likewise transfers that could have been used better to improve your team

Expected it. City at full-strength. They badly need the win. With a bit of luck they get a 2+ goal lead and he can be taken off early.

They'll look to put the game to bed early and get him off early IMO.

I still hate that word "bandwagon" because I think it is used out of context alot but, by god, he was some bandwagon. In fairness though, a few got good price rises out of him.

I brought Dier in for gameweek 3, shipped him out for gameweek 6

Tadic won't be the same!!!

Tadic looks a proper class player in fairness, with stats to back it up.. . And on penos

Just put it up re. Dier as a prime example of how jumping on a particular band wagon (for price rises???) can come back to bite ya in the ass ! Points count, ultimately. And transfers are precious. He must have been owned by a good million managers at one stage tho. Which is absolute madness i .m .o , when you consider the stricter requirements for additional game week rises, the doubts over his future game time, etc. Anything can happen tho! The Baines bus might crash now that so many of us have jumped on it! (Lets hope it doesn't

I got really lucky last weekend, had Costa as Captain and Pelle as VC

76 points boosts me up my leagues!

Should have scored 5 and could have scored about 7 against Spurs!

Don't have stats for West Ham, all I know is Aguero is bleedin magnificent at the moment and will most likely by my captain too!

Apparently he got 16 points in the corresponding fixture last season. Courtesy of the lads on the Captain thread.

It's a toss up between the two but Aguero could have had a hat trick against Villa and scored four against Spurs.

We need one of those people who can make the statistical analysis about how many goals Aguero has scored against west ham in the last 2-3 years

He took a bang to the back at one stage v Spurs. It's the sort of injury that you could run off, but then wake up the next day feeling like a train hit you. With him playing 90mns plus Dzeko playing nothing, I'd fully expect Dzeko/Jovetic to play in Moscow.

This is what BR & other foreign coaches have been saying.. Explosive players need tailored training regimes & 2 Days Rest

I'd imagine it is a cause of this but also that he may not start in the CL

I'm not definite it was him but don't think he would be injured pellegrenni isn't very secretive and if he was they wouldve left him at home.Had a glance on a city forum and a lot of them seem to think it could be Dzeko up top on his own tonight.
