    United have not got a penalty this season so it will be interesting to see who takes them. Rooney or RVP?

    RvP - without a doubt.

    100% RVP
    If he is not on the pitch then Rooney
    I'd actually prefer Rooney to get taken down for a pen and RVP to take
    As a rooney owner his penalty taking makes me nervous of negative points !

    Dzeko to Bony done. Happy with a Costa/Bony/Kane strikeforce till Aguero is fit again.

    5.3m in the bank to fix the rest of my team now, may take a hit to lose a Southampton defender.

    The next four games for Everton are decent. I'll be keeping him, but dumping my Southampton defender for a city one.

    Not decent by any means
    Southampton(A), Stoke(H), Newcastle(A), Hull(A)

    5 goals from 8 shots on target.

    The Southampton and Liverpool games were very freaky. The ratios can be "normalised" by one of two things happening....
    • RVP having more shots (and keeping the number of goals)
    • RVP having the same number of shots (and scoring less goals)
    Given that RVP's stats for the Southampton game was 2 shots, 2 goals, and the Liverpool match was 3 shots, 1 goal, I reckon he can keep up the goalscoring while increasing his shots and he will look more normal.

    I'm not convinced by RVP, he's still a great finisher obviously but he doesnt have the legs anymore to create his own chances. Given that ADM and Blind are both injured at the moment he's also essentially playing in a weaker team than he has been all season.

    I disagree. I think RvP has shown in the last few weeks that he does indeed still have the legs for it. He's been brilliant in the last few matches I've seen.
    Also, with ADM due to come back soon, with an assist record like he has, I expect more chances are likely to fall RvP's way.

    I wouldn't sell austin he shouldl start all xmas games and mainly good fixtures.

    That's my problem. I want to keep Austin but also want to keep Bony. Bony has 4 goals and an assist in his last five games. He's not exactly giving huge returns but he's a consistent scorer and the way he's been playing there has to be a game soon where he scores two or a hat trick.

    That means RVP has to come in for Costa if he comes in. The last time I took Costa out though he scored two and got three bps against Everton. I also notice he went up in price last night. That said, RVP looks on form and I see him as cpataincy material against Villa away whereas I don't see Costa as captaincy material against Stoke away.

    To be honest, I'm growing tired of Costa. The bookings, the doubts about his fitness - at this stage I'm thinking that Hazard, Terry and another Chelsea defender or Fabregas would be better value. Costa only has 22 points in the nine GWs since GW7. He has three goals in seven games. He was scoring well when Chelsea were at the start of the season but they've only scored 3 goals or more in two games since GW4 and one of those was the Spurs game that he missed. That said, given his ownership, a high score from him scares me ****less.

    My team is

    Green
    Taylor Terry Dummett
    Eriksen Hazard Siggy Sanchez
    Costa Austin Bony
    Subs: Elliott, Chambers, Marney

    If I didn't change the strikers, I'd probably go Marney to Downing and bench Siggy. Siggy would then be changed next week for a City midfielder.

    My initial anger over Baines poor showing last night has subsided a bit.

    It looks like I will have to keep him as Caulker didn't play last night and if I was too seel Baines I'm lost as to whom to get in,I already have JT.

    Siggy to Silva very likely still for a -4.

    .

    Next 7 games for Chelsea are "tricky" as well.

    Stoke (A)
    West Ham (H)
    Southampton (A)
    Spurs (A)
    Newcastle (H)
    Swansea (A)
    Man City (H)

    You couldn't safely say there are any high scoring games in any of those or that Costa would take any team apart. If ever there was a time to consider shipping out Costa, surely it's for the next month or two.

    I brought him in as a bit of a knee-jerk transfer for Aguero and looking at the upcoming fixtures, I am somewhat regretting it. I may also make a move to get RVP in this week. Just not sure how I intend to do it yet or if I even will at all

    Aguero to Austin done. Will wait and continue to assess my Siggy to Yaya for a -4; ideally on Friday as long as Siggy doesn't drop.

    Is there any specific reason you're considering Yaya over Silva?

    I can't decide which to go for, but finding it hard to justify the almost 2.0m more that Yaya is, although I can afford him.

    Yaya loves bombing forward and taking shots; he also has pens and free kicks in his locker. I'd be more willing to captain Yaya than Silva and as stupid as it sounds the AFCON is somewhat appealing since I know I would need to get rid before their terrible trio of Everton, Arsenal, Chelsea. The only negative on Yaya is the 4 yellows situation.

    Nasri i.m.o has a good case for consideration at the moment

    I can afford Nasri next week without downgrading my forward line of Costa, RVP and Bony so I'm definately considering him.

    the thing is i wouldn't be considering him as a downgrade of Yaya or Silva, but possibly the best option of the 3. he's on form, not a shadow of a doubt, with the goal and assist against Roma backed up with an assist at the weekend. no suspension hanging over his head like Yaya. no fitness doubts like Silva.. there's definitely a good case for him i think

    Looks like he's starting tonight against Derby, it might be time to ship him out.

    He will start at least 3 of the next 4 league games West ham at home being the dodgy one I think. It's why I went for Terry over him as it's highly unlikely barring injury that Terry won't start all league games.
