Third post in a row.

I beat you Khell!!!!!

It's not really Kagawa's fault he's 'failing', though it's also worth remembering that he's been ill and injured this season, he hasn't yet come to a game fully fit.


Also how in the world is Hazard failing? Also Coutinho, he's had a slow few games but in general he's been top since they got him.

I went fishing and I got one bite

Hazard is failing due to Mourinho's rotation

Coutinho has failed to score or assist this season so far

I joke above somewhat. "failing" in this thread and in this term is by being big Fantasy Point winners. They cost so much money and there are players out performing them week in week out. Ergo failing their expectation of say 10.5 million value.

Haha, fair enough.


What you need to do is get Wittingham in there (I haven't because Ward-Prouse is my super-cheap option, but Wittingham's going to get a few points).

I have Gunnarson and Jarvis as mine. They are mainly cover though. Sturridge for Suarez will be my next big move, I am going to build up to it though, give Suarez 3 games to get match fit. I'll do it subtly, by rotating defenders in and out building up income. As it stands I am 0.1 mill shy of swapping Sturridge for Suarez.

Re -Kagawa. One of the best attacking center midfielders in the league and has played 0 minutes this season. Dortmund fans want him back, he is that good. Normally a player leaves a club and that's that. I don't know how many other center midfielders scored a hat trick last season...

Not playing Kagawa does seem strange seeing all Man Utd complained about was their lack of quality midfielders. Still, it may be a fitness/illness issue.

However, having said that, where is he going to fit now? Carrick and Fellaini will most likely be Moyes' first-choice centre-mid pairing, and Moyes has also come out and said he wants Rooney to score 30+ goals this season, suggesting that he's going to play him alongside Van Persie, so there's no attacking mid position open for Kagawa either. So where's he going to play? On the wing instead of Valencia/Young? Hardly his most useful position? So unless Man Utd switch to a 4-3-3 just to accommodate Kagawa, he may not get a whole lot of game time.

I am a Liverpool fan by the way.

I'm so sorry.

I can see them playing Rooney/RVP upfront, with 2 sitting centre mids and Kagawa infront of those. Not going to happen though

[Macros]

Went from first to seventh in two devastating weeks.
lamberts goals have dried up.
mignolet is letting goals in, agger is in the mix too.
benteke isn't scoring.
Chelsea as shite.
used my trade this week to drop.injured coutinho for Ramsey.
now i have money to spare to get in a striker next week.

[Tattersail_]

My choices are bad. I swapped my team around to accommodate RVP and then he doesn't play. That is bad.

[polishgenius]

My captaining of Benteke both hurt me this weekend and ruined my plans for next (I wanted to swap Campbell for Lukaku and Hazard for Ben Arfa, now I have to replace Benteke obviously), but otherwise I had a very good week and am off the bottom.

[Tattersail_]

I captained Sturridge! Doh.

RVP can suck my ****

[Satan]

Captaining Sturrige certainly wouldn't have been a poor choice this round. Him and Suarez has saved a dismal round for me.

[Macros]

I had Suarez as captain, Ramsey as vice and la.bert scored.
everyone else on my team sucked.

last three weeks have killed me, way off the pace and sitting sixth

[Tattersail_]

That is it Mac, how to catch up to the leaders? I had Rooney as Captain. I should have sticked with Sturridge. I have 3 players playing tonight, I am sat on 41 points I think. Lukaku or Mirallas to score and Coleman clean sheet I want.

[Macros]

Lukakus on the bench for me alas so I'm done for this week

[Vengeance]

I am moving on up boys. Started at 15th and now am at 12th. I smell blood in the water and it smells like Tapper.

That's good to know One season in and you'll start challenging for the top spot. Take him down Sir Venge.

[Tattersail_]

So Mirallas got me an assist 4 points because he was yellow carded. Lukaku got me a couple of points, 16 of them to be precise and Coleman for 1 point. Pushed my score for the week up to 64. My midfield is shit.

Who is Cupset? Top of our league.

[Macros]

I actually had lukaku on the pitch, 13pts ahoy!
finished with 76, not a total disaster. Traded lujaku for giroud yesterday, might have been a bit premature, thinking if changing that back and ditching lambert instead.
