I am nearly 100% sure he was playing at left back when he scored against Man Utd at Old Trafford earlier in the season.

He will be centre back for the rest of the season with Assou-Ekotto and Naughton fit.

You are probably right there so, I had him in my FF team back then, when I visualise that goal he came through the middle, I assumed he was at CB that day

"The FA has charged Liverpool forward Luis Suarez with violent conduct.

"The charge follows an incident with Chelsea's Branislav Ivanovic in yesterday's fixture at Anfield (21 April 2013).

"The incident was not seen by the match officials and has therefore been retrospectively reviewed.

"It is alleged that the conduct of Luis Suarez constitutes violent conduct and it is The FA's contention that the standard punishment of three matches that would otherwise apply is clearly insufficient in these circumstances.

"Suarez has until 6pm on Tuesday 23 April to respond to the charge, thereafter an Independent Disciplinary Commission will be convened this Wednesday, 24 April."

Gone for the rest of the season at least.

it's been announced now, he has been charged with violent conduct and the FA feel the standard 3 match ban will not suffice.

Liverpool can appeal but I doubt they will, on what grounds could they? he's gone for the rest of the season.

His price drop tonight doesn't effect me so i'm going to take a bit of time to consider who to bring in for him.

Not much for me to think about, Suarez to Cisse is only one that seems worth it. Points hit up to -8 now...

I think people are going mad with 8 point hits already.

Suarez will be banned but I'm going to wait on developments this week. If Aguero is fit he's a much better option than Tevez IMO.

Not to mention that Ba or Torres could pick up a knock and leave Chelsea with one fit striker ahead of a DGW.

was thinking the same myself. I can field a decent enough team this week without Suarez, as it stood, I had Michu left on the bench.

So might see how teams line up at the weekend. If defoe starts he might be worth looking at or even moving away from the dgw teams.

An injury to defoe/adebayor, torres/ba or tevez/dzeko/aguero would make things a little easier.

Unlikely that Suarez will drop now he's been given a red flag which means he needs 2.5 times the normal amount of transfers out .

Suarez could be available yet next weekend could he not?

Probably unlikely but nothing is confirmed yet

The Phantom Jipper

Is Lindegaard likely to get any games once the league is wrapped up? Tempted to do de Gea to Foster at some stage.

thank you. I will lose .1 with the price drop, so I will be shipping him out tonight for someone

The disiplinary hearing is on Wednesday will get his ban then can't see any appeal happening

Dempsey

Getting in Sturridge is tempting, any DGW striker looking better? Kone?

the incredible pudding

Kone or Lukaku would be the best budget choices. Lukaku might not start both games though, I'm still annoyed i switched him for berbatov two weeks ago.

Looking to get rid of Berbatov tonight, 8.9m to spend so I'm open to players other than budget

darego

any city fans know what the craic is with aguero? need to get suarez out tonight for either tevez or aguero

tevez is 8.9 million and has a double game week coming up.
also has west ham this coming game week and city are at home for it.

Dempsey

Suppose I need to give more information on my thinking and spending 8.9m on striker is actually not ideal when looking at the bigger picture.

Bunn / DDG

Rafael / Clyne / Dawson / Clichy / Baines

Mata / Michu / Fellaini / Cazorla / Townsend

RVP / Lambert / Berbatov

2 FT's & £1.6m in the bank

Getting rid of Berbatov (7.3m is his current selling price) is one move I'd like to do but I suppose getting Bale back should be a priority

Getting Tevez would be nice but getting Bale would then require at least 2 transfers then...

So its between Fellaini (Need to free up 1.5m) or Cazorla (straight swap with 0.8m to spare) to make way for Bale

Feedback is appreciated

Three-match ban, but sounds likely it could be extended to GW38 too.

Fizman

Have 2 FTs but think I'll go for these three:

Davies -> Verthongen
Sissoko -> Bale
Suarez -> Kone

i reckon he'll get 1 start out of the remaining 4, fergsuon likes to keep his squad players happy and now that the league is won i think lindegard will get a start, i think he'll field a full strength team v arsenal and chelsea and then with the trophy being awarded at home to swansea he'll want to start the majority of the players that won us the league so the most likely game for him to miss is the final game away to wba, but that's just guessing, i'd make sure i have a decent sub keeper because he could easily be rested before then.

roryc

Gone De Gea, Santi And Suarez OUT - Hart, Hazard and Tevez IN

Seasons over though after RVP's wonder display. Pressures off now, gonna just gamble for the last few games!

Lets hope it's not too late to convince him to change his mind :pac: Suraez and de gea make sense but I wouldn't touch Man City now let alone go for 3 players DGW or no DGW. The Fa cup will be an absolute priority now. Mata AND Hazard might be overkill too considering they play United and Spurs. I guess it could be worth a gamble but take more time and think, you have a week to mull things over.

G1032

I've done two transfers this week. Suarez and Fellaini out. Bale and Kone in. Plenty room to bring Tevez in for the DGW if I so wish.

Why are you taking a points hit to transfer out Davies before his DGW?

Thanos

I assume there is no point in getting RVP back in now with the league all done and dusted?

Better to use transfers on DGW players?

I'd start planning next season mate! This one is over for those that didn't have him this week, 30+ point swing.

Suarez out tevez in is the only move so far , Rvp out is a risk but need to free up money to upgrade pinaar an fellaini in midfield . Rvp back in after the double . Could just do mata for the double as god knows who chelsea will play ! Trying to get 8 dgw players . Already have bale , michu , tevez so need to load up with 5 more in 2 weeks

SlickRic

RVP out isn't the worst decision in the world.

he will be rotated, it's almost certain. you'll be shítting yourself every GW if he's going to play. as well as this, Utd won't be playing at full pelt.

if you can't trust him to captain, it's worth questioning whether he's worth it.

also, end of season, especially when the title is wrapped up, is a weird time in FPL. you have to kind of look at teams who still have something to play for.

Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Wigan, Villa, Sunderland and Stoke are the big ones IMO.

Hogey007

with city at home to west ham at the weekend i'll almost certainly go for either aguero or tevez to replace suarez. tevez seems to be the more popular.
it means a 4 point hit but with it being for a dgw player i'm hoping i get that back.

Yep, I agree with your assessment of teams, but I am not sure RVP will be rested as much as many think. There is no way Fergie is going to ease off as there is a record at stake - they need to win 5 from 5. I expect Hernandez and Van Persie to play most games for the rest of the season. Some of the fringe players (Buttner, Nani, Anderson, Smalling, Jones etc) will also see more game time.

so you reckon Rooney is staying CM for the rest of the season?

i'm putting in the disclaimer right now, that i'm not selling him. not this week anyway

Yeah I have an inkling they might try it out in some games. Yeah I will make a decision on RVP next week (or earlier if Fergie says something about him).

As a United fan, SAF wont be happy just falling across the line. They will want to put a large a gap as possible between them and City. Having said that, I think the backline will be heavily rotated. United have plenty of excellent options there.

You beat us by 8 goals last year.
We'll beat ye by 20 points this year.

Mr.Prodston

As the saying goes "Ye who droppeth RVP and try to second guess Fergie will live in fear until the 38th sun has set"

Iused2likebusts

Ill be keeping van persie for the last 4 GWs but wont be captaining him for fear of rotation and utd taking their foot off the gas. Also last night was the first time in a long time utd put on a convincing attacking display(like the first half of the season).

Ah hang on what? A 30-point swing over 38 weeks with a DGW still to come certainly doesn't make it over. Especially if you play in head-to-head leagues or have work/money leagues to compete in.

The beauty of GW36 is that there's no obvious captain. Michu? Bale? Mata? Aguero? Tevez?

All give a good chance of a swing. Even Aguero or Tevez decision could be a good differential, and I'm guessing the non-RVPer's have Aguero who if he plays is the superior option I reckon.

A couple of matchups in my work H2H league had 2 teams without RVP or without RVP as captain so very little impact.

Don't throw in the towel just yet Rory! Hang in there!

Dearg81

I brought in Tevez and Bale for Santi and Suarez this week. I'm joint top of my main league now after an average week despite having RVP as captain.

My rival has dropped the ball though as he only has 2 DGW players at the moment so I'm still confident of winning as I'm planning on having 9 DGW players for a 4 point hit. I'll be bringing in Defoe or Kone next week so I'll be keeping an eye on them.

Does anyone know if you win anything for winning the off the ball league?

bezuaua

My actual team :

De Gea | Cerny

Mariappa | Harte | Sagna | Shaw | Wilson |

Cazorla | Mata | Michu | Fellaini | Sissoko

Van Persie | Suarez | Berbatov



Currently with 2FT the plan is to go as follows with a 8pt hit:

OUT: Cazorla, De Gea, Shaw, Suarez
IN: Bale, Hart, Verthongen, Kone

Then, for the DGW there is still room for 2 more players…

Any opinions/suggestions are more than welcome !

Nah I'm out! I've dropped from 10k to 20k in the space of a couple of days, solely down to RVP!! I hate him. But secretly I love him... I was patting myself on the back thinking getting rid of him was a good decision but the last week have proven how wrong it was. People that captained him the last three weeks made 66 points. My captains in the same period made me 20! He single handedly ruined my season!

If I grind on as I currently am I win almost certainly be ending the season somewhere between 10k and 25k, which won't make any difference to any league I'm in. I'm now 40 points off 10k and this is a massive hill to climb over the next few weeks through normal play, so instead I'll be going all for nothing with some wild captaincy choices and points hits galore so I'm as likely to finish outside the top 50k as I am to crack the top 10k

At least it will be fun for the last few weeks!
