Did you pick Song over Walcott by choice or due to the price difference?

Brought him in last night. could have bought Walcott but then the choice of defenders I could brought in didnt fill me with any confidence and I'd nothing left in the bank and limit any manoeuvring for players. My thinking was 2 Arsenal starters against Wigan is better than 1 and a very dodgy defender and nothing left in the bank.

I'll probably end up regretting it

Cantona's Collars

Siggy got the assist \o/

keano_afc

37 so far, with Verm, Jevans, Valencia, Rooney and RvP (c) to play.

Happy enough, will be happier when Siggy gets his 3 BP's.

Excellent. I wont be around to watch captain Rooney tomorrow, but I'll sleep a little better knowing that Sig did the job today.

Remember everyone... 2 goals and 3bps for the Rooney this week! Positive thoughts, and all that rubbish.

Not a chance. You'll be sweating watching RVP bang them in on Monday night after Rooney gets booked and then limps off 3 minutes into the second half.

WoollyRedHat

Aguero didn't get any bps? Yay if so.

Dempsey

BP's not given yet

It gets really tight when you get around the top. One point can move you up a few hundred places, and that's a huge jump when you're 2/3,000 overall. You really start to go mad when a player gets a needless yellow or a midfielder loses a clean sheet bonus. And that's even before your forward misses a one-on-one. This game can drive you round the bend at times.

Looking around it seems most people who are still playing seriously will have very similar teams this week. Swansea defender/gk, Sunderland defender/gk, West Brom defender/gk.

Looks like it's a straight shoot out between Aguero/Rooney/VP and the captaincy choice as to whether you move up or down significently.

Tevez/Sig are the only differentials atm.

(30 from 5 for me.)

most top teams have sig so not a differential. Cats out of the bag.

Woohoo, subbed Vorm for the first ever time in favor of Mignolet, that's working out nicely so far

Vorm got 6. Mignolet got 7. Just sayin.

29 with six to play

Held my position, which is a bonus after missing out on the City rampage

True but Mignolet also made 5 saves in a 0-0 draw so he has an outside chance of getting some BP

What BP system are you using? Penalty saves could rarely earn BPs in this system

DazzlerIE

McClean might be one to watch for the bonii

Sat through that awful turd earlier and he had quite a few shots on target

Yeah he was Sunderland's best player. I'm level on points with the leader in my main league. We have the same players left to play, apart from Vermaelen for me and Walcott for him. Hoping for a handy Arsenal win but an invisible performance from Theo.

El Horseboxo

In 0-0 draws is it not defensive players that seem to get the bonus points for the most part? Especially from the underdog team. I can recall a few games where that happened and also the Liverpool vs Swansea game where they gave something like 3 defenders and Vorm 3 bonus points. Anyways i'm hoping McClean gets none haha. My main rival has him. Although i fielded 11 this week. He only fielded 5.

FatRat

I watched the Sunderland game myself and I can safely say.... McLean was definitely not the best player. He hardly got on the ball lads :pac: He had 2 shots I think. 1 on target as far as I recall. If anything I think it'll be Wolves players getting the majority of the BP's. Ebanks-Blake will be getting BP's if they do go to a striker/midfielder. Himself or Fletcher were better than McLean or Bendtner or Sess. But still... I think Bardsley, Ward and Richardson will get em. Richardson with the 3.7



It is impossible to guess this BP system though.... as we all know.

Other way around for me
Hope Arsenal hammer them but concede a goal.........

5 shots on goal with 2 on target compared to Ebanks-Blakes 2 shots on goal, none on target.

Wow, really? Probably should have read up on it. But he was still pretty poor imo. I actually just saw in the paper there (the Sunday World I think) and Ebanks-Blake was on the team of the week on it. So I'm not the only one who thought he had a decent enough game.Still though, I think the defenders will get em.


@G1032 .... I think young'll be played against his old club. Val has been relatively poor in the past 2 games compared to what he's usually like. Nani will play instead of Val, no doubt :pac:

dahat

Same as usual for united..........Young and Valencia start.......Nani is keeping his ass warm

KevIRL

Man Utd: De Gea, Evra, Ferdinand, Evans, Rafael, Carrick, Scholes, Young, Valencia, Rooney, Welbeck - #MUFC

Aston VIlla: Given, Hutton, Collins, Baker, Lichaj, Bannan, Gardner, Clark, Ireland, Weimann, Agbonlahor - #AVFC #mufc

Damn :pac:


Now there's a player to have a look at for Villa..... Clark. Back from injury, down as a defender for Villa, 4.5 I think he costs and a DGW next week.

manual_man

0-0 draw and a Rooney red card please

roryc

Lichaj is one to watch at Villa, two double GW's coming up and he's capable of scoring. Picked up a goal + assist against Chelsea a while ago. Think a few have already taken the initiative and brought him in, could definitely be a good differential for the next few weeks.

Home fixtures against Sunderland and Bolton, could get lucky with a clean sheet.

I think I'd be reasonably happy with that even though I have Rooney.

I think alot depends on how the teams set up. if Villa back off United, it could be a rout, however if Villa stick close to them and United aren't careful, Villa could hurt them on the counter with Agbonlahor. Intriguing game, might just have to find a stream of it!

roryc

Yep, Rooney sending off would be awesome...

GLaDOS

Everyone around me in my paid league went for RVP as captain, while I went for Rooney. Could make or break me.

Panthro

I'm on 26 so far from 4 players.
I've Valencia(c) Rooney, Van Persie and Evans to play.
Come on Valencia!

GLaDOS

Penalty! Cmon Rooney!

GLaDOS

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

Jax Teller

Rooney goal . Young assist

roryc

1 - 0 Rooney with Young assist... Honestly some people get all the f**king luck!

Panthro

Bugga, should have gone with Rooney.
Come on Valencia!

manual_man

damn you Young, you diving <snip>. Could have done without that Rooney goal

Thanos

Let's go captain Rooney, another 2 would be great :pac:

I'd still take a Utd clean sheet and Rooney red card at this point though.

RVP better have his scoring boots on him tomorrow!

frisbeeface

Have Rooney captain but feel he needs another - quite scared of RVP!

Anybody see Ryan Taylor's tweet about Young's dive? https://twitter.com/#!/TaylorR1984

Panthro

I think Valencia will get a few goals,
Anyone else think he will get a few goals?
Yeah I think he will get a few goals, a few assists too...

Come on Valencia!

manual_man

Wellbeck goal Evra assist

Jax Teller

Welbeck goal . Evra assist
