Not the best of game weeks for the team, with 2 clean sheets and 2 bonus points on the bench in Clyne and Forster. Along with a captaincy choice which wasn't the best, it was a below-par performance from the team after a superb 91 point scoring GW the last time out. The team was only created in game week 2, so it does not have the best of overall ranks at the moment, but that will improve as the season goes by. Currently sitting on a Game week 2 rank of 30,810.
The Issues and Transfer Ponderings
1. Chester no longer an assured starter
Chester is no longer nailed on in the Hull starting XI and is becoming a problem as he hasn't started the last 2 game weeks. He will need to be shifted this GW or sometime soon for another 4.5m option (Chambers, N. Taylor) or Baines.
2. Rooney's got a new role, and it's not good news for his FPL owners.
He has a new role for Manchester United at the tip of a midfield diamond, this is a position that is deeper than his previous position and it looks like he's less likely to score goals in this new role, with him coming away with a single assist in a game where his team scored 3 goals. Looks like it's best for owners to give him the boot and look for a replacement in one of the many budget and mid-priced options that are cropping up. I will most likely replace him with one of the in-form budget options, Welbeck or Ulloa, or decide to go for a premium option in Aguero. If I go with the Argentinian though, I'll have to downgrade someone else as there's only 0.3 in the bank. It's more likely that he makes way for Welbeck/Ulloa this week.

3. Ramsey's output is falling and his fixtures aren't fantastic.
Ramsey's output seems to be falling with 2 average performances in his last two games. A very premature and "knee-jerky" assessment, but with better options in the same price bracket popping up, it might be best to let go of the Welshman for someone else in-form. Managers are rushing to get him out and his price has already fallen by 0.1m this week. I have not yet decided what I plan to do with him, to keep him or shift him for someone like Di Maria who is currently on form along with the team he plays in. The question is, is it worth the transfer, or even hit with the other more pressing issues?
4. Mirallas given a rest.
Mirallas was benched this week after being heavily involved mid-week. This problem has passed, and he should start next GW in an exciting Merseyside derby. I also expect him to start in most if not all of the coming weeks(short term: 4-6 GWs), and don't really believe this is a big issue. But, it is one to keep an eye on.
