I cannot be...Love this article, great stats Chris.<br /><br />I cannot believe how dominant Taarabt has been for QPR's stats despite having no fantasy stats to show for it whatsoever. He is absolutely the focal point of that team. If they have any success at all going forward you would expect, based on these stats, for Taarabt to be a beneficiary of it. (But maybe they won't have all that much success.)<br /><br />Seems like he is the most important reasonably-priced midfielder to watch.Roycehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09026696036192099488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-14216379816567118742011-09-30T06:11:23.675-04:002011-09-30T06:11:23.675-04:00@tycho: I decided to hold on to him and will likel...@tycho: I decided to hold on to him and will likely captain him after he was passed fit by Ferguson this morning.<br /><br />So, good luck in the Gameweek, apart from Rooney. :)Gummihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355045565468357809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-26898412305954884342011-09-29T21:29:33.751-04:002011-09-29T21:29:33.751-04:00@Gummie

My worry is exactly:<br /><br />"Except of course if he goes on the goal rampage against LIV or MNC."<br /><br />I have the feeling Rooney is getting better and nearing the form where fixtures don't matter as much as with most other players.<br /><br />However, RvP has been a Fantasy goldmine whenever he is fit, so that is another consideration. I also play the market perhaps too much.

If Rooney doesn't loose value, we'll be paying a 0.3mil cost for his return but I imagine his price will drop with the sales so it may not cost anything.<br /><br />Except of course if he goes on the goal rampage against LIV or MNC.tychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574632899415351699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-9184613345309395222011-09-29T18:27:20.177-04:002011-09-29T18:27:20.177-04:00@Pat Vivat and @Steven: I agree that Welbeck is li...@Pat Vivat and @Steven: I agree that Welbeck is likely to play. He trusted him for the start of the season and his two goals will not have hurt midweek.<br /><br />@Mell fantasyonthego: I'm thinking exactly the same. I'm very tempted to put RvP in for Rooney.

Already have Nani and Silva but need some Chelsea coverage this weekend (apart from Boswinga). <br /><br />Is Mata worth the extra if say, it means I'm ten having to stick with Best up front instead of having Ade team up with Aguero and Suarez?<br /><br />Newcastle do have a good fixture this weekend but worried about Best's holding the position in the future.tychohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09574632899415351699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-78398335221734168402011-09-28T14:19:43.632-04:002011-09-28T14:19:43.632-04:00Where do you get these stats, particularly the fir...Where do you get these stats, particularly the first two.

I would keep an eye on hernandez injury status, but 2 goals for Welbeck (and an overall strong season in general) mid week + Hernandez first team starter status makes it an easy decision for him.

I'm very hesitant myself, but can see the value of replacing him with RvP or Aguero for the short term.<br /><br />Murphy's inclusion is interesting and Bosingwa's numbers give me more confidence in holding on to him instead of replacing him for a City defender.Gummihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05355045565468357809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-74101754928070714732011-09-28T03:12:36.161-04:002011-09-28T03:12:36.161-04:00any idea on who are going to play Forward for MUTD...any idea on who are going to play Forward for MUTD this weekend??<br /> I know they have liv/MCI coming up, but i can't can't ignore MUTD playing NOR at home. <br />Should i get berba, welbeck or Hernandez???Pat Vivathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18140364711155714483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-69230655863529606882011-09-28T02:30:35.698-04:002011-09-28T02:30:35.698-04:00Great post Chris.
So... I've got Rooney, Ague...Great post Chris.<br /><br />So... I've got Rooney, Aguero and Adebayor up front. Physioroom says rooney is out till the derby on 23 October. Even if he comes back for that, it's not particularly a game I'd prefer to have him for.<br /><br />So the difficulty is that he's at 12.5m right now and I'll get 12.2 if I sell him. I've got 0.1 in the bank so I'll either need his price to drop 0.2 while he's out or his replacement's (probably RVP) price to rise by 0.2 so that I can get him back in.<br /><br />How do the price rises and falls work? Do you expect his price to drop while he's out injured?amtoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15641647292961397221noreply@blogger.com
