do you think Nasri is worth a punt at 8.5, he is cheaper than the other highscoring midfielders, but is he too much of a risk of rotation?

cheers

dont take risk at the start itself,,first let him play regularly…just consider this

hi guys, got three quizes for this week:
1. mata or hazard?
2. kagawa or valencia?
3. defo or podolski?

Reply

Aravind L August 15, 2012 at 3:24 pm

mata is better than hazard…we shoulsn't take risk at the start itself.

kagawa would b a better option

dont go for defoe or podolski,,,better to go with cisse or pogrebenyak

Lalu Athma August 15, 2012 at 2:21 pm

I got this team:

Federici / Ruddy

Shawcross A.Cole McCartney Gorkss / Clyne

Allen Kagawa Bale / Whitehead Britton

Torres RvP Rooney

What you guys thinking? worth pairing those two upfront?

AJ August 15, 2012 at 8:43 am

Hey guys, wanted to know who will be getting 90mins out of Nani, Young, Valencia and Kagawa.

ian emamalie August 15, 2012 at 6:57 am

now that rvp has joined utd,keeping 2m in the bank to reinvest in rooney come gw2 does not seem such a good idea,any ideas as to an alternate striking strategy?

Reply

walk_on August 15, 2012 at 5:42 am

so – RVP to man u

there is so much uncertainty at arsenal and man u, and to a lesser extent at chelsea, that it's hard to make any rational picks from 3 of the 4 best teams. I'm thinking about loading up on chelsea and man city and using the wildcard gw3 when it settles down.

Is this wise or will I regret using it this early?

Team name: mes que un club

hey guys…even after making a lot of changes i am not confident about my team…

Begovic,friedel

Vertonghen,heitinga,vlaar,kelly(fulham),fabio

Hazard.yaya toure,cabaye.park,guthrie

kun,torres,pog

Still confused about hazard .pogrebnyak and man u midfield are even more confusing…help me with cutting cost on defenders…

dave August 15, 2012 at 6:49 pm

ruwen August 15, 2012 at 4:36 am

Hey guys, need your advice and tips on my team, would be really appreciated.

Vorm ; Foster

Pearce; Williams; Simpson; Hangeland; McCartney

Silva; Valencia ; Ben arfa ; Larsson ; Johnson(Norwich)

Torres; Saurez; Jelavic

Please let me know your tips, thanks

DZ August 15, 2012 at 3:24 am

hi guys,

any advice on my team over here;

Federici (al-Habsi)

Clichy, A.Cole, Taylor R (Ian Harte, McCartney)

Hazard, Park Ji-Sung, Santi Carzola, Snodgrass (Pienaar)

Aguera(VC), Torres(C), Modibo Maiga

1. Was thinking to swap Hazard with Dempsy due to Chelsea might have a high rotation on the midfields as they have plenty. Even though they will be playing 2 games, do you think Hazard can contribute numbers of point or even play for 90 minutes for both games?

2. Santi Carzola or Valencia?

Million thanks. Keep up the fantastic work.

Reply

Barry Hughes August 15, 2012 at 2:54 am

Kagawa and Hazard

Or

Valencia and Carzola?

Reina or Vorm?

Mark Noble??

AJ August 15, 2012 at 8:46 am

Always tough to know where the teams stand so early on the season, we only have the friendlies games to judge from. But out of what u seen in the friendlies games who in the United midfield do u reckon is the safest starter? Nani, Kagawa, Young. Btw u r doing a great job, really grateful.

Steve Chapman August 15, 2012 at 2:51 am

Hey guys.

Keep up the good work.

Just a question regarding whether you would go for a few big hitters, like silva/rooney/aguero etc, or a more balanced team containing players like yaya toure/torres/cisse/walters/ireland.

Secondly, would you go for a front heavy team like last year required?

Aravind L August 15, 2012 at 3:27 pm

your defence is good…but your midfieeld is not upto the mark..pls do a bit alteration in mf…..

Reply

PatBlueIre August 15, 2012 at 7:25 pm

dont heed that other fella not much needs changin there to be fair…maybe just elganassy for taylor at west ham? same price, taylor had a decent run of it last year in championship. Keepers are a little bare but your strikeforce should more than cover it….Good Luck mate!

Reply

Aravind L August 16, 2012 at 1:17 am

patbluelre if u r so conserned then u should hav said noble in for taylor….mark noble is the free kick and penalty takers for west ham…instead of pienaar he can go for yaya toure…the perfect midfield option would be the following..

1.yaya toure

2.guthrie(double gameweek)

3.mata

4.van der vaart

5.mark noble….

Dude this is just an advice coz ur defending and striking are really very good…

Patblulre how about this midfield options….

Hey guys,

Love the podcasts, listen every week!

I'd really like to know where you draw the line between a player in good form in a "weak" team, and a player in average form in a "strong" team?

For example, last year Pilkington from Norwich was having a little purple patch of form and was in my team. However, I'd still be inclined to start someone like Nani instead, even though he hadn't been setting the world alight, simply because Manchester would have an easy fixture. I struggled with decisions like this all season.

What is more important to you? Form or team & fixture?

Thanks in advance!

Is Suarez worth it? Liverpool has tough fixtures but usually, they play better against the big teams.

Reply

Iain August 15, 2012 at 1:37 am

With Reading and Chelsea playing twice is they any worth having 3 players from both teams and if so who would you direct as being good choices from the two clubs?

Reply

walk_on August 15, 2012 at 1:34 am

kagawa vs cazorla?

Reply

Sean August 15, 2012 at 1:31 am

Tevez or Aguero? And do you think Rooney is worth the extra 2 million to Torres?

James August 15, 2012 at 1:28 am

Which Chelsea midfielder do you think for DGW?

Paul August 15, 2012 at 1:27 am

Thinking of rotating two 4.5 million keepers. who do you think will be the best two?

Reply

Batt August 15, 2012 at 1:24 am

What do you think about Arsenal's Gervinho? will he start?

Also Bale or Hazard?

Is Michael Dawson set to start for Spurs?

SilentBobF1 August 15, 2012 at 1:13 am

Will you be going back to the old school predicted starting line ups as the switch to the new format part way through last season wasnt very good and stopped being updated around Week 31?
