    I think I'm gonna go with Dempsey again if the Pog is out injured. I know they're typically not great away from home, but it's Bolton


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,784 ✭✭✭froog


    valencia was amazing last night. he looks like the main attacking route for united.

    arsenal city could be a goal fest though..

    Defo reckon it has to be a midfielder this week! The Untouchables(RVP & Rooney) who i cant bring myself to transfer out just arnt producing the goods lately!

    Thinking Valencia myself

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

    Valencia could be a good differential as captain as most will probably choose Rooney.

    RvP has a pretty good record against the big teams this year (and Liverpool). Hatrick against Chelsea, 2 against Pool, and goals in both games against United. He has looked a bit jaded recently though.

    Valencia
    Gerrard

    I reckon RVP will do a number on that ManC backline

    You've never failed me this far Dempsey. I'm counting on you :pac:

    Has to be Rooney all the way this week...especially after starting out left midweek,he will be mad to get a goal or two v QPR so that Utd can go 8 clear...

    Has to be Rooney. Since the turn of the year, he's played 4 home games, scored twice in 2 of them, scored once in one and got two assists in the other. He's scored ALL of United's home goals for the last two months.

    Valencia seems to do better in away games. His 3 double-figure scores of 2012 have all come away from home.

    It's a no-brainer for me.

    Some compelling stats there! Changed to Roon there. If Dempsey out scores him I'm blaming you :p

    the crazy person who voted for Torres could be onto something :eek: nobody will have him so could be a good way to gain ground

    don't do it! captaining torres over the last few years almost made me give up the game.

    I have Rooney Rvp and adyeb up front so wouldn't get in Torres but he is starting to find form . I had Torres for 2 weeks at the start . Lesson learnt ! Rooney for me this week


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,219 ✭✭✭POKERKING


    i need to make ground up so from now till the end of season im going all out on differentials and im going for the number one heartbreaker-Luis Suarez. I need to make up 70 pts and doing off the bat stuff like that is only way plus thats how bad villa have been this year that i think liverpool will steamroll them...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,416 ✭✭✭Jimmy Iovine


    70 points in 7 weeks with a DGW in there as well is manageable. Don't make silly mistakes. Let them do that. An awful lot of people will screw up with GWs 34 and 36. They'll try to field 11 in week 34 and then get hit again in week 36.

    Balls out here - RVP. City are reeling. RVP is a big game player. QPR are high on confidence and I don't think they'll be hammered.

    At least that's what I'm telling myself.

    City will have their first choice centre halves back,Arsenals fear of shooting bit them in the arse against QPR so it'll be a choice of either Rooney or Valencia for me.

    Could be inspired, could horribly backfire.

    Haha Dempsey has never failed me!

    Looks like he's gonna start up front too...

    I think Sa is fit so I wouldn't be surprised if he started up front with Diarra coming into midfield alongside Murphy with Dempsey-Dembele-Duff/Ruiz playing behind him.

    Even if Dempsey does start up front, I don't really think it suits him. He can't make those late runs into the box that he's so good at. However I'm still playing him and I think he could score, but I wouldn't captain him.

    as your mentor and inspiration, I tell you to captain him

    I've put it on Tony V and im heading out early tomorrow so i cant change it!! I need to make up ground on the top 2 in my league and can bet they will captain either Rooney or RVP!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,844 ✭✭✭carlcon


    Valencia
    Yeah Val is almost at 40% on this poll. Isn't a hope in hell of that many captaining him.

    Jayzis, im a liverpool fan and dont even have the balls to play around like that!! Cant see Valencia on the bench with the form hes in tho to be honest so id say your safe enough! Lets just hope he lives up to expectations and outscores Rooney!
