Ok Rooney has 2 games against Chelsea and Liverpool so probably not many points for him there.

Sunderland have 6 games if they win the fa cup replay:

Norwich (h)
Stoke (a)
Middlesbrough (a) (FA Cup)
Arsenal (h)
Arsenal (h) (FA Cup)
WBA (a)

One thing I am worried about is if they do beat Middlesbrough is there a chance there away game v WBA could be moved depending on when the FA Cup game against Arsenal gets played?

Anyway who would you go for from Sunderland?

Bendtner is out with a broken nose.

Whose still got Rooney ?

I know but he's the best player in the world so had to be in there

He was going to be a season long for me and then got tempted by this chance for some extra games.

I think the question might be more relevant in reference to Valencia or Nani.

Rooney Sess for me tonight.

my best team has 18 transfers left, I alreadly have Seggesson but am thinking of bringing in Larsson and Campbell tonight for VDV and Walker who both went off injured for Spurs last nihgt....anyone know how bad those injuiries are?

Apparently there has been twittering from both who claim they will be fit for Monday - but this remains to be seen and ultimately the club doctors will have their way.

Is McLean worth considering, or too much of a gamble?

I'm also bringing in some Sunderland players but have a small dilemma.

I already have Larsson and will be keeping Rooney for now so it comes down to:

1. Sess and O'Shea

or

2 Dempsey and O'Shea

Surely option 1 for the extra games and still being in the cup? Thoughts anyone?

I was just going to mention McClean

Ditto for Mclean, from memory points return has been good recently and always seems to be showing up on the commentary from what I have seen (mainly in a positive way!)

I had just acquired a few Welbecks..........

Does this work with Chelsea?

Sorry to hi-jack this a bit, but anyone think VDV Sess/Larsson is worth while tonight?

Depends if you have Bale.

I'm more likely to believe vdV over fitness than 'Onest 'Arry.

Nope, it is because MU are out of the Cup, and then play on the Sunday as they are out of the CL (which gives a few possibilities later in the season, with Arsenal vs Toon on a Monday sometime soonish).

If campbell starts tonight I am tempted to take out ade for him. I don't like taking out players who are still in the cup but he has been off form for a while now and can't take out Kun as my nearest rival has him so sod's law will come into play.

He looked hungry and got his goal against Boro

Yes I have Bale, although I'm not sure what difference that makes? I'm thinking it is a 4 for 2, 3 for 1 or 2 for 0 at worst, even if VDV doesn't miss a game. I'm inclined to believe he might miss at least 1, so could be a 3 for 0 or even 4 for 0

I wouldn't be without both Bale and vdV was my point.

I have both, and was thinking of booting Mata to go to MU after the run of Sunderland.

its against the flow of this thread - but some times with these extra game opportunities it can be best to sit on your hands if there is no clear and definite choice you want to make. Would you consider these players if there were no extra games?

To throw a spanner in the works...

Appreciate the form under O'Neill has changed the playing field somewhat.

On the downside Bridge could be playing LB behind MacClean, who is the one I am tempted by and then hop to Valencia after the 6 games, or go back to Welbeck if I were to sack him.........

mata's points have been 7, 10, 5, 2, 7, 2 (5.5 ppg) in an underperforming chelski side, and they are still in the cup, who in MU would you replace him with?

Wel beck to the drawing board for you then.

I got 9 from him

And I would think he was rested against Stoke.

Valencia

Starting!

Well I promised myself if he was starting I would take the plunge, no bottling out now

possible snow disruption to this game sequence now? Not sure....
