Ramsey and Sturridge brought into the fold, hopefully this doesn't signal the end of their current run of form.

Does added time not count towards minutes played? Nastasic clearly did play 60 minutes today, regardless of what the game is telling me.

I'm sure the person that wins a penalty usually gets assist points, hopefully they'll sort it out later.

It was an own goal off Howard, unfortunately. Lol, he got +5 for the penalty save and -2 for the own goal.

Let's just make this perfectly clear, Tim Howard gained 3 points for a shot that went into the goal.

Still, one in the eye for the Aguero-havers.

This is the week I take loving rvp out of my team. I thought he might get crocked or something, didn't imagine he would simply turn into dogshit.

He will score a hat trick the week after next.

No sure about Januzaj. Whilst he had a cracking weekend, it was his only start of the season so far and he's only 18. Would be surprised if he started every week.

That said my team is poo poo so what the gently caress do I know?

If you get a clean sheet then get subbed off before a goal's scored it still counts. It does feel a little odd him getting bonus for being subbed off early though.

With Suarez, he had a bunch of bps taken off for some reason post game, he went from 11 (the highest) to 7. FF community say that he was penalized for being offside and missing chances.

the problem is he's one of those players that you never know is actually going to play, meaning you can't really sit him in your first team. I haven't checked his price but you'd probably be better off getting some norwich bruiser who's definitely in the line up; they generally score more over the season than talented youngsters at big clubs.

Yeah but at 4.6 who cares if he doesn't play immediately. Get him as roster filler, then if (and let's face it, considering the seasons Young & co are having, WHEN) he starts getting regular games you'll be right side up on the deal.

If you want someone cheap who's better than any of united's senior midfielders, then Morrison is only 4.4.

Aguero and Negredo started the last game but no idea who'll start this weekend.

Captain Suarez this weekend i think, bound to be goals against Newcastle.

Aguero starts most games, but might be rested ahead of a Champions League fixture in Moscow on Wednesday then Chelsea 4 days later. Negredo appears to be a preferred starter to Dzeko (because he's just plain better). As far as I know Jovetic is still fit so he could play as well.

Basically it's a crapshoot, and the competition is so tight between those 4 (well Jovetic hasn't muscled his way in properly yet, but has been injured) that you can get better bang for your fantasy bucks elsewhere.

I have picked Suarez as my captain every game since his first game back, and it's taken my team from the last page of the overall TRP standings to the first page of the standings.

He's pretty good IMO.

Moyes might come through, saf didn't do very good in his debut at man u as well. it all depends on the patience of the fans and board.
