“Wayne Rooney didn’t travel to Norwich due to the recurrence of a groin strain. He should be available for #mufc vs @SpursOfficial on 1 Jan.” – Man Utd twitter
I sure hope so, not captaincy material then though of course
Interesting to see what this does to rankings.
How deep is your bench…
It will be a total chaos, James…
James – how’s Brunt 1st sub sound?
who’s your vice?
Rooney not even on the bench?
I considered a 4pt hit to get him in – so glad I never rode that train – that would have been expensive.
I’ve still got Negredo though, let’s hope he gets enough minutes to make an impression!
Hmmm? Not really a train. Rooney is probably the most consistent striker out of all. Think he managed to score/assist in almost all games, 2 or 3 games he has been silent. Most likely games where RvP was still playing.
Ok, to re-phrase, what I really meant was that my transfer last night was Ramsey>Silva and then all this speculation started “Silva might not play you know”.
Then when FPL tipped Rooney as captain I thought I’d missed a trick by not taking a 4pt hit to bring him in.
Negredo not starting is annoying, but I could have made a much bigger mess of it, particularly if Lukaku gets a goal.
Negredo is not playing!
He’s on the bench, so he may get some game time. Just hope Dzeko huffs and puffs and gets nowhere.
Didn’t Negredo come of with a light injury in the last game? Rooney not starting is a much bigger surprise in my opinion.
Not really sure what the injury was.
There’s a photograph of him holding his calf, and then Man City’s website stated yesterday he was “tired”, which seems to suggest that it was just cramp.
Hope not coz they Negredos my (c) and if he doesnt play, Suarez will get the armband
Hmmm, Suarez will start. Negredo isn’t starting. What’s wrong with Suarez being your captain? You think he can’t score against Chelsea? I think no defender can stop him when he’s on fire. And after a quiet game he’ll be on fire.
I put Suarez as captain, then changed it to Silva.
A lesson learnt – go with the safest bet.
Just have 9 or 8 players playing for me this gameweek. Whoooooohoooooooooooo.
Hi Raz – I have 11 or think I have. But 2 just played in the early game and got me zero and 2 respectively.
Guess I can count them as 0 scores. But not very cool to start with 2 or 3 zero scores. Especially if one of them is called Rooney. The others are Ravel, Clyne, Vlaar, Ramsey. And who ,knows, some Everton players might not be selected tomorrow. Pool and Chelsea should start with strongest sheet though.
Aaah yes, I figured I couldn’t lose my 1-1 battle. My opponent has a crappy team but he has Anelka in it. HAHA.
Raz that’s as unlucky as it gets – Anelka on any other day… pffft
Hehe. Yeah. Cup really doesn’t matter all that much though. It’s always a coin toss.
most of us are in the same boat raz. so sit back and relax 😉
For real. You have 3 players on bench not playing? And at least 2 in your starting 11? 😛
Just checked your team. You also have a few problems. 😉
yeah this busy period cost me. and i’m doing my worst transfer last GW, jasskelainen out – Howard in. That move cost me the cup, and left me no goalie again! and guess what, big sam put jaaskelainen back this GW.
really costly, what a waste.
Cup is shite anyway. Doesn’t matter. Probably lose mine. Just focussed on the main league tables.
TJ couldn’t start today either, good thing he had me as VC to post line ups. Greatest day to take over for a day as I was able to provide great news to all of you. :p
so its your fault so Mito. Bring back TJ
Hope TJ will be back for the next GW or this madness will be irreparable :moggy:
p.s. knew there was a good reason why the news were “good” today…should’ve known u’ve stirred up this bad karma thing :p
I hope Dzeko has a really poor first half and it’s still 0-0 at half time.
