Depending on your other defenders available for tomorrow. I'd probably look at getting rid of moore.

I have Dummett (away to West Ham), Taylor (home to Palace) and Chambers (away to West Brom). I'm happy enough with those fixtures.

I'd prefer to get rid of Forster ahead of their tough week. I'm thinking Green but some are making a good case for Guzan.

Oh balls :mad:

Though good news for those of us who started the season with the Krul/Eliot combo but sold Krul and haven't had a spare transfer to do anything with Eliot!

I'd prefer Guzan over green. I don't think I could have 2 qpr players starting for me every week. The only problem with your back line is if Taylor gets that 5th yellow and then you have moore not playing.

I went for Guzan, but was considering Green. 2 things swung it for me. First is that , as you say, 2 apr players is too many (for me anyway), and I already have Austin. And the 2nd is that Villa seem more capable of keeping clean sheets than QPR. Villa have 4 this year to QPR's 2.

I'll still have Wisdom fit to come in, plus Moore will be going for Terry after the midweek game. Looking at the fixtures:

Green:
Leicester home
Swansea away
Burnley home
Everton away
West Brom home
Arsenal away
Palace home
Swansea home
Burnley away
Man United home

Guzan:
Burnley (A)
Palace (A)
Leicester (H)
West Brom (A)
United (H)
Swansea (A)
Sunderland (H)
Palace (H)
Leicester (A)
Liverpool (H)

I'm going to stick with Green. I can't see Villa shutting out anyone bar Leicester in their next six. Guzan has four clean sheets but three of them came in the first four games. They also have three away games in their next four.

Green only has two clean sheets but I see QPR as a team improving while Villa after going the other way after a good start. I also rate Harry above Lambert.

Guzan has had a very tough last 8 games though arsenal Chelsea city everton spurs southampton.

Is Guzan not missing alot of his defence at the minute?

Yes, but Okore and Clark played very well vs SOU.

Yas are slowly convincing me lads but the three away games in the next four is the next problem in my mind.

Villa last cleanie (vs West Ham) was away from home.

If that doesn't convince you, I give up!!

Edit: 3 of Villas 4 cleanies have been away. Check out Iroced's extensive posts in the GK thread for how Guzan ranks for away points.

I think green has a better chance of a CS tomorrow don't think leicester have scored in weeks I'd prefer Guzan after that. Mentioned it before but would you consider courtois it solves two problems for you. You replace your goalie and you get the Chelsea defensive coverage you want. Moore can then be switched for Yun or Hutton and you can play them in the games your happy with instead of having to go with villa or qpr defensive coverage every week.

I think Downing will start personally

He seems very likely to. Guardian preview states that he will.

On another note. My back three is currently on Duff (Villa h), Chambers (WBA a) and Hutton (Burnley a). Would yis start Dummet (WHU a) ahead of any of those three??

I'd say Dummett and Hutton is a coin flip. West Ham will be without Sakho and Valencia and Newcastle are in great defensive form (although maybe no Krul). Duff might miss out anyway through injury.

My backline is
Krul (Mannone)
Clyne, Dummett, Yun, Chambers, Wisdom.

Who would you start out of them??

Thinking of going Krul, Dummett, Yun and Chambers.

Have Baines, Chadli and Duff. All injury concerns yet I want to transfer out Pelle for Bony. Am I mad?

Cheers for the advertisement .


@Lemlin: Yeah chosing between Guzan and Green sounds like a nightmare. They both have a nice run of fixtures up to the Jan WC, particularly during the hectic Christmas period with 3 home games out of 4.

One criteria to help you deciding between the 2 is if you have or plan to have a def from one of these 2 teams. In this regard Guzan - Yun has an unbeatable price attrait while Green - Hutton probably offers more playtime guarantee for £0.3m more (only).

If you don't envisage one of these def, as OneColdHand mentioned, Guzan away form has been a hell of a lot better than his home form while Green is the exact opposite (though he's been better lately getting thrice 3 pts in his last 4 away).

Green could be great to couple with CP since they rotate pretty well and have both a good home form. It requires £9.5m though so may not be what you're looking at.

Speaking of pairing Guzan/Foster works perfectly though WB fixtures are ot great and these 2 GK score a lot more away than at home...

If you consider a GK you'll play week in week out I think Green is a a little better a prospect than Guzan. Up to the Jan WC he'll face 5 home games out of 8 vs 4 for Guzan. Granted Guzan gets more pts away but it sounds crazy to plan for your keeper's away pts. And in the meantime Green may well get more home pts.

@Mr P: Ander Herrera

I wouldn't trust him to start, and for that it's also another reason not to get Fellaini incase he did.

Same goes for Mirallas. He probably won't even play Sunday after the Europa. Have I mentioned I don't like Martinez's rotation

Lukaku looks livelier when Mirallas is on the pitch so maybe that's the way to go. Or Eto'o :pac:

Nobbie Nolan not deserve a 2nd chance? Personally think Herrera when fit will be automatic 1st choice
