    There'll be a lot of variance this week.
    I have it on Pedro for now but may change.

    Martial law is in effect :cool:

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭Colking


    It will be either:

    or Pedro

    Payet for me.

    No clean sheets for Norwich so far this season. Payet on form and on set pieces.
    Too many people will be on Marital so I'm rolling the dice.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,765 ✭✭✭✭CSF

    Aguero, Payet or Depay.
    Probably not Depay even though I think United could do real damage to Sunderland.

    aguero for me. Spurs up against arsenal in the carling cup wednesday night wer because its a derby they will play a stronger team than they usually would and then early kick off on sat morning. Rooney to do the damage for Utd this weekend is my prediction(hope).

    That's a good shout actually. I will watch the North London Derby after all where previously I had planned a scouting night off doing non-FPL obsessive things. Extra time and penalties please.

    Aguero.

    Need to bite the bullet and take away the captaincy from Kun.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Mahrez (ARS)
    Aguero. Simple as that. I have to give him the Spurs game. I'd rather quit the game than not afford him that chance.

    If he blanks then I may revise my opinion.

    Given his youth and comments LVG made at signing time about easing him in, I don't think Martial is guaranteed a start. I might bring him in but captaining him is too risky. Aguero for me.

    I'd like to captain Payet but I don't really trust him with the armband and Norwich aren't that bad defensively. At the moment, Kun(c) Payet(VC) although nowhere near set on it

    Sunderland are leaking goals. I'll make Mata my captain.

    If he was rested my happiness would go into overload.

    Aguero or Payet for me. If Benteke/Silva are confirmed out I might look at a punt on a Man U player. Probably won't be Martial though as I'm not 100% he will start. The have Wolfsburg the following midweek which is a 'must not lose' game for Man U so wouldn't be 100% he starts v Sunderland*

    * Personally, I think he will start but I also think LVG can be a headbanger at times with his lineups!

    Wouldnt be a huge shock to me if it did happen. They have a very important Cl game against wolfsburg followed by a league game against arsenal.

    Jaysus should I be worried about Depay..

    Impossuble to tell if lvg goes for rotation as they weren't in the cl last year. There is probably a chance 1 of young fellani herrera play against Sunderland.

    Martial played 35 games for Monaco last year. I think he'll start in most PL games. European away games is where he could be rested and United could go for Fellaini up front. I'd also be surprised if he starts the Cup game against Ipswich. It's the perfect game to give Wilson a run.

    Look at last year's Carling Cup team:

    01 de Gea
    36 Vermijl
    41 James
    28 Anderson
    06 Evans
    38 Keane
    37 Janko (Pereira - 45' )
    26 Kagawa (Januzaj - 20' )
    14 Hernández
    19 Welbeck
    22 Powell (Wilson - 57' )

    The Newcastle 0-0 at OT may be too fresh in the memory to go resting the top scorer for Sunderland.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 34,765 ✭✭✭✭CSF


    Mahrez (ARS)
    I suppose the League Cup lineup will give some information also. Anyone rested in it is unlikely to be rested again Saturday.

    Great stuff, I would be delighted to have Aguero as a Capt differential.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,530 ✭✭✭✭km79

    aguero
    I would be be beside myself with rage if he goes crazy and I've the armband off him
    he had a mare Saturday BUT still had 3 great chances
    on another day........
    looking at the vote I think I better buy martial too! benteke to him will be popular move in my league


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii

    I'm forgoing the Martial madness. Sanchez for me.

    Mata would be my top pick and he's not even on the list?

    I couldn't believe it when I logged into UFPL and was like wtf he only got 2 points! Can't recall ever seeing so many big chances missed by one player in a week before.

    Probably Kun. Though Martial is very tempting against a porous Sunderland

    Utd have had 6 shots on target in the last 2 games and have scored with all 6. I'm still not entirely convinced by their attack as I don't feel they create enough chances.

    Thats my feeling too. 3 shots on target in two games does not fill me with confidence for Martial.

    The passing move for the 3rd goal yesterday was a thing of beauty though.
