As a Liverpool fan i would still reckon Michu has a better chance of scoring higher, Sterling is inconsistent in FF terms and if Michu is indeed to be playing back in the hole this week as others have said i reckon he could do well!

Walters, McAuley, Gorkss

I'd be inclined to go for Sterling based on his performance last week and the fact that he has a much easier match this week, he is practically playing as a striker now, I have a feeling Michu may not have as much luck as he had earlier on but there is no logic behind that. On the basis that Liverpool are a better team than Swansea I would go for Sterling, someone has to set up the goals for Suarez and Gerrard hasn't been great for Liverpool recently.

RIALTO1

Decision to make on who to start in defence & misfield this week. Playing 3-4-3:

Begovic

Baines Ridgewell McCartney

Fellaini Michu Morrison Carzola

RVP Suarez Berb

Subs: Cuellar, Wilkinson, Piennar

Not playing Wilkinson as don't want over exposure to Stoke defence away from home. Think Mc Cartney over Cuellar as West Ham solid enough at home. Not sure between Pienarr & Morrision, fancy WBA to score v Chelsea, and don't want to be over exposed to Everton although fancy them to be amongst the goals as well. Thoughts?

Del007

2 strikers from Ba, Berbatov and Suarez.

Suarez is def is so it's really between Berbatov and Ba. Tevez is my other striker

Very hard to say, I've seen possible lineups with Demel/McCartney, Demel/O'Brien, and McCartney/O'Brien. I'm interested myself because I would like to use McCartney for the first time ever this week but will probably not run the risk of him getting the last 10 minutes. I would be very careful with that 3 this week, I'd say at least 1 will be a late sub.

This is what I'm running with this week hoping the Capt choice pays off can't get it right at all this season!

Yeah I'm thinking the same, have to make a decision on either Jussi or Begovic, or just hope Demel plays.

what do people think

rvp or suarez as captain ?

I wouldn't captain Van Persie as I wouldn't be 100% confident that he'll start. I can see Ferguson going with Hernandez and Welbeck up front

One word to describe your back four: Overkill.

IMO, RVP (c), Suarez(VC) --- or so it remains till the teamsheets show up

I wouldn't invest that much in Defenders during a season where teams are conceding like crazy. Your choices in Huth, Baines and Enrique are justified but you should get Ivanovic out, get a 4.5 ~ 5.0 defender instead and invest the remaining money in upgrading kacaniklic.

roryc

Don't think I'll make any changes this week.

Teams worth £108.3m with £0.2m in the bank. All my defenders are at home, and the only dilemma I have is Nolan/Sterling.



Might save up both transfers for next week and ship out McAuley and Clark. Captaincy will be staying on RVP

S.M.B.

I especially like how that team has become more and more like mine over the past few weeks.

SpaceCowb0y

With a current GW score of 26 and my hopes resting on 3 West Ham players i clearly need some help with my team!

Considering the exciting move of McCartney to Cameron this week, think ill hold onto Fellaini for the time being.

Does anyone want to point out where i may be going wrong as i havn't made progress in weeks really and have plummeted this week!

Yep. You've brought in Rafael, Sterling and Mata over the last few weeks, I've brought in Berbatov and Baines. It's not that surprising our teams are similar.

It's just bad luck, that is a very strong FF team, Van Persie will score plenty, Berbatov played brilliantly in a 10 man team, Mata only had 20 minutes, Bale was in a 10 man team also and still could have scored more than he did, Fellaini just can't score in every match but will continue to rack up points.
No major surgery required there.

Rafael, Cuellar, McCartney, Gorkks and searching for a fifth. I play a 3 man back line, always.

I'd agree with the above.

Swiper the fox

Caulker or Baird would provide long term value for under 5m, potential for goals in both of them.

I already have Begovic, don't want to double up on Stoke defense.
I think Foster being back next gameweek could prove potentially beneficial to their defensive back four as a whole. Hence, scouting a WBA defender with goals. In this case, Ridgewell.

keane2097

Caulker surely.

Not quite sure about Caulker. The man was dropped for the previous game even though he was in form.

Baird, I don't really know.. Fulham aren't really profilic on the road and concede a lot. I'd prefer to stay off Fulham defenders unless it's Riise or Hangeland but sadly, the former is wayy above my budget and the latter has a three game suspension.

Caulker was injured on saturday, he definitely would have played,
Baird is playing in midfield for Fulham and has scored a couple of goals, putting himself into good positions etc.

McCartney is the most inexpensive fullback in the WHU defense capable of chipping in with the odd assist. For me, he was a bargain at 3.9 and returned some fabulous points in weeks (most of which were sitting on the bench because I opted to play an overpriced and better-fixtured Baines ahead of him for 6 gameweeks) when other defenders were conceding a lot of goals.

He's your best bet if you don't have Jääskeläinen who seems to be in good form.

Ah well, you are planning on Cameron who has better clean sheet prospects to I guess I can't talk you out of it - But what I can do is to ask you to reconsider.

Im quite happy with McCartney ive had him from the start and bar the time he was out with injury has been a bargain, the problem is i brought Nolan in a few weeks back and have now got 3 West Ham players as i have Jääskeläinen too!

I might actually look at bringing Ruddy in for Jussi instead which would free up a bit of cash instead of doubling up on Stoke defense and spending money!?

Demel's return to fitness puts McCartney's place under threat as well doesn't it?

Unless Demel plays Leftback (which I doubt he does), I don't see why he would be a threat. Demel's a rightback/center-half.

Gutsy move though there is some logic in that. I did that 2 gameweeks back. He rotates well with Begovic (Home/Away) and that's what tempted me.

We'll know more around 8 O clock tonight, any 2 of Demel, McCartney and O'Brien will play in the 2 full back positions, personally I'm hoping that big Sam sticks with McCartney but my natural pessimism is telling me that he won't

I think he might drop O'Brien

Want2know

My current team:

Begovic | Jaaskelainen

Clark | Demel | Simpson | Ridgewell | Cameron

Mata| Michu | Piennar | Nolan | Kacaliknic

Van Persie | Berba | Ba

I think my team needs alot of work, especially in Midfield.

Currently Im thinking of Pienner OUT/BYBYE/SO LONG. Im thinking of getting Silva and also temped to get Walcott??

I know I need to get rid of Kacaliknic but will look at doing this for a Sunderland or Reading player for GW16

Any other suggestion greatly appreciated. Had a terrible gameweek so feel I need the advise.

I'm sure what you meant to say was "I HOPE he will drop O'Brien". I'm in the same boat, if McCartney doesn't play I'll only score 2 defenders.

Already have Ruddy, mate. Don't want to double up on Norwich defense. Thanks for the suggestion though. He's a good attacking fullback, might bring him in later on but Norwich just don't seem to score enough goals.

he's only got 1 assist but 5 CS all of which were at home

what about a southampton defender, although they've no CS, 4/5 next games are at home, worth the risk?
