Seriously. It's Friday.

walcott --> westwood (probably tonight)
Rooney/Kane --> Aguero

spock.

Ah come on, the game hasn't even updated yet.

CSF

Watford debacle or no, I don't see Goodison being a good place to go to. Aguero LOVES an injury there too.

richieffff

Can do Walcott to Payet and Ritchie to a 5.5 mid leaving me with enough to do Deeney to Aguero for a - 4.

Sound good to ye? (holding off on the second two until after they play)

spock.

Rooney and Kos --> Aguero and Shaw for a -4 is what I'm thinking.

the incredible pudding

Ritchie to Albrighton just done there, imminent price drop forced my hand with that one. I've one more transfer to use this week. Considering a -4 to get Aguero in for Rooney but will at least wait until after the weekend games before doing anything drastic (Newcastle at home is a good fixture but form really is more important).

Invincible

Think it'll be Memphis byebye this week for me !!

Rooney out, one touch in the opposition box the entire match and it was the 92nd minute

Think the thread could be renamed the 'GW3 GTFO Rooney Thread'

iroced

Aguëro stinking 1 pointer absolutely needed now after Rooney perf tonight (to avoid immediate mass selling).

Mr.Prodston

Okay everyone, listen up.

It's clear we're all going to sell Rooney but how about we wait until say the end of next week. That way there's no fear of price drops and maximum scouting options time.

Cheers ye're a sound, understanding and if may be so bold, rather handsome bunch

iroced

I'm fully with Prodston here.

For all the ones who think past performances are an indicator of future ones, Rooney scored 12 goals vs Newcastle and next week could end up like this or...

richieffff

Option 1: Walcott to Payet and Ritchie to a 5.5 mid (Suggestions?).

Option 2: Walcott to A. Ayew and Ritchie to A. Traore

CSF

Rooney and Depay are gonna make all the people who transfer them out feel silly next week. I can feel it. I'll likely be grudgingly absorbing any price drops on them.

I was torn between letting Fab or Rooney go this week to accomodate silva. Rooney making it easier, although I agree they could well hammer Newcastle.

I may even captain him. That was the original plan but obviously that is no longer so much of a thing.

stephenl15

Walcott to Ayew done. 1 FT left. Can do Rooney to Aguero with it, or Ayew back to Theo if he goes nuts :pac:

titan18

Done Walcott to Payet tonight, to allow me to Rooney to Aguero provided Aguero makes it through on Sunday.

Seriously? Rooney was atrocious. He could've got a big chance at the very end but for his diabolical touch. Rooney's gone for Aguero provided Theo stays quiet.

extra gravy

It's hard to see United hammering anyone. LVG will be happy to just grind out results.

Rikand

De pay + kane out for Aguero and someone

I can see United hammering Newcastle. This is the fixture I signed the 2 guys for most of all.

part one complete, even if he does start this weekend he's too much of a liability in the long term anyway so not too bothered about making the early transfer and saving value in the process!

Yeah but don't you think circumstances change and you gotta react to such changes ie Rooney and United offering little to no threat, rather than rigidly sticking to a plan you made when things were much less clear

sheroman01

To get Aguero in for Rooney I have to do a bit of shuffling in midfield. which option is best, do ye think?

Midfield is currently: Hazard, Depay, Payet, Ritchie, Anya.

Option 1: Ritchie > 4.5m mid. Rotate him with Anya. Maybe Westwood. Gives me room to later transfer in an in-form 8.5m if needs be.

- Hazard, Depay, Payet, Anya, Westwood.
- Kane, Pelle, Aguero

Option 2: Depay > 7m mid. Maybe Chadli/Ayew/Tadic. A lot of mid-priced mids in my team then but not forced to play a 4.5m mid every week.

- Hazard, Payet, Ritchie, Anya, Chadli/Ayew/Tadic
- Kane, Pelle, Aguero

I think it's too early to say that still. He was diabolical tonight, I was actually at the game and all. But having watched the Spurs game and the Villa game, I still see United putting a few past Newcastle. After that one I will look again.

Form over fixtures.

Stinks of Pelle last Feb. I learned last year not to buy /keep players for potential returns which current form suggested was unlikely.*

* disclaimer. I am a bit pissed.

Option 2 for me as well. With 1 your points scoring potential of your 2 cheap mids is going to be limited. Ayew would be my choice also. Chadli second. Tadic a distant 3rd.

Too early to be talking form I think. 1 assist from 2 games isn't woeful. He will be odds on for the Anytime Goalscorer market next week. I wouldn't transfer him in if I didn't have him but I think he's worth keeping for another week.

A lucky assist due to a misplaced clearance. 2 bad performances. Playing Devil's Advocate to an extent here.

I was Rooneys biggest advocate pre season, I think I said whoever doesn't have Rooney in their GW 1 squad is just plain wrong.* But having seen him play, he has done absolutely nothing for 180 minutes. For 10,5m that's not good enough imo.

*I definitely said this.

It's not a good performance I'm looking from him next week though thankfully. It's a goal or an assist or 2 against a notoriously weak defence.

I'm keeping him as planned and selling him after as planned
He took NO set pieces tonight
He was often good for an assist from an in swinging corner or free but but not now
Mata on pens
He will NEVER be in my team again
But I'll prob captain him as I'll be at that game

Decided to leave Rooney in v Newcastle- he just loves playing them..
Taking Walcott out for Payet/ Sterling- a potential .2 swing.
Will be WC in GW3 for aguero and co. and considering bypasses the arsenal midfield at this rate.

Don't city have an appalling record at Goodison ..........;)j

Aguero or Costa he is not, but I'd fancy myself to knock one in against that Newcastle defence. He's let me down so far but I see things going well this week, if I'm wrong I'm likely Wildcarding for Gw4 in any case.

OneColdHand

I have Rooney and 2.5m in the bank. Will wait to see how Aguero gets on, but there's a good chance I'll make the switch this week.

You may well be right, time will tell I will probably sell Rooney if Aguero makes it through unscathed. If not I'll take a look at Rooney to someone else

Invincible

Rooney just hasn't the swagger that he once had.
If Hernandez got his chance, sure he couldn't do any worse.
Problem at the moment is, Rooney see's no threat to his position.

Cookie_Dough

I was intending to get Aguero in for GW4, to make the cash i would need to do 2 transfers -Rooney & someone else. I was going to keep Rooney next week & keep my free transfer so I wouldn't take any points hit.

I now don't want to risk Rooney dropping if I keep him, do you actually think he would drop? I know it could only be 0.1 but I can't afford to lose ANY cash!

Would you guys think it too hasty to dump Rooney & the other player this week & take a -4? Basically the same plan but getting Aguero in a week earlier.

Cheers for any opinions & thanks for reading!

Has to be Costa and Rooney out- for Aguero and benteke/pelle/ or gomis

Not sterling then?

dahat

Strongly considering a Gomis- Aguero strike force.

Benteke games go south a little after this week and Rooney is out of form.

Gomis-Aguero-Igahlo.

With those three does it allow you to stretch to a Hazard-Sanchez midfield combo?

I'm thinking the same Gomis-Aguero-X not sure on who to go at number 3 yet though. Probably change that around depending on fixtures/form.
