Team Reasoning

Following poor purchases (and a -4 hit) that failed to materialise in GW16, I have decided to go cold turkey in GW17 and not purchase any new players at all.

With hindsight it was a dumb idea to sign Shorey up for DGW, especially considering the fact that Reading have failed to keep a clean sheet away in the league all season.  Robson-Kanu's no show last night didn't help either.

On the plus side, the benefit of having Shorey and Robson-Kanu as subs is that I am now less likely to have lost points on the bench.

I have decided to bring Rafael back in following my disasterous choice of leaving him out v City, then again, who would have predicted his two assists?

Robson-Kanu loses his place to Suarez after he served his one match ban.

It was a close call between my captain pick (Van Persie v Suarez), but I have decided to opt for Van Persie as United have scored far more home goals than Liverpool (19-9).

 

I trust that my spare transfer could be handy with the upcoming fixture congestion for GWs 18-21.

Recommended Player for Gameweek 17

  
Robin Van Persie

Van Persie has scored 3 goals in his last 3 PL outings

At £13.8 Van Persie isn't cheap, but definitely worth it!
