Premiership Fantasy Football

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

2 free transfers so I went with Andre Ayew and Reece Oxford out for Arnautovic and Glenn Johnson.

[John Arne]

I really should have taken more notice of this at the start of the season. I missed 5 or 6 games through not bothering. Since actually trying I've been climbing the table like nobody's business.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

78 with Mahrez, De Bruyne and Vardy to play :eyemouth:

[Andy]

63 with Moreno, Mahrez and KdB.

Can't get a captain choice right this season, haven't had anything better than a 6x2 in about eight weeks. The most annoying part is my vice is constantly donning it.

[Mazuuurk]

Guys I'm looking for a cheap defender to replace Targett as my 5th choice defender. Targett i down to 3.8 so I'm losing money here, but can't just keep him forever, even though he's just a placeholder really.

Looking at Danny Simpson from Leicester who's at 4.1, but will he keep playing? Does anyone know the actual pecking order at Leicester defence? It seems all defenders, bar Huth and Morgan, have played roughly the same amount of games, which is a little weird.

[Samadini]

He will keep playing. He replaced de Laet, who hasn't had a sniff since.

[John Arne]

The gameweek has rolled over already - so I didn't get any points for Clyne's game tonight. :confused:

[Magic]

Still says in progress for me.

Had 19 points on my bench. :(

Banking on Leiscester smacking Bournemouth, Arsenal dicking Newcastle and Palace holding Chelsea which shouldn't be outwith the realms of possibility. Everton need to smash the Yids too.

[Mazuuurk]

He will keep playing. He replaced de Laet, who hasn't had a sniff since.

Gotcha, he comes in to play this gameweek then. Reckon Leicester will keep it clean against Bournemouth. Cheers.

[P_3]

19 points from eight players. :face:

[Magic]

29 for me utter shite. Mahrez captain misses a fucking penalty.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

20 with Toby, Dann and Lukaku to play.

:\

[John Arne]

Jesus. 15 with three to play.

[Magic]

30pts with 14 players...

[Mazuuurk]

Left Willian, Sagna and Alderweireld on the bench. When Willians bonus points comes in, that's a good 25 or so points right there.

The worst thing is that I well nearly played the bench boost card, and I doubt you'll ever get much more than that for your bench players.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

30 points ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Magic]

47. Bench boost Alderweild and Martin saved me.

[P_3]

Out of the cup by one point. :(

[Mazuuurk]

I'm a little torn about what to do now.

Feel like I should get Aguero in and Vardy out sometime soon. Lukaku is too solid to get rid of and Ighalo is still ridiculous value. The problem is there's still 5 million between Vardy and Aguero, and that pretty much means wildcarding and cutting some serious quality in Midfield, probably sacking of Kevin de Bruyne.

[TG09]

http://i66.tinypic.com/35l5hyt.gif

I have one free transfer, shall I swap out Pelle? Not a bad team, so might leave it for the time being.

[TG09]

I am 36th at the moment.
Yeah Barry I can replace, who else is a strange choice?

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I'll be breaking into the top 5 soon enough.

[P_3]

Blind, 3 defensive players from City, injured Sanchez and a partridge in a pear tree.

[TG09]

Blind, 3 defensive players from City, injured Sanchez and a partridge in a pear tree.

City players points are pretty good, I can not find anyone to replace Blind for 6.4m. Injured Sanchez is back soon, would cost more to get back in. So thought I would keep him. Probably a bad mistake.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Don't listen to P_3, mate.

He's just jealous of your team.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sagna first sub.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/peanuts/images/9/90/543939_10151967754250682_567007707_n.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131130072535

[Magic]

52 points. Decent.

[TG09]

Sagna first sub.

http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/peanuts/images/9/90/543939_10151967754250682_567007707_n.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20131130072535

I got 9 points from him :)

Total 31 for my team

[Weaver]

The only notable points scorer in my XI was Bertrand with a clean sheet... I benched Ramsey in favour of Ritchie this week (I thought Bournemouth might've got something against West Ham) so I missed his 11 points.

Ritchie went off injured, too, but I have a few transfers to use, so he's on the way out.

[John Arne]

Yeah, two shit weeks on the spin for me.

Changes required.

[Magic]

22nd. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Down to 17th :mad:

Gained a point on P_3 though so in the long run it's been a decent week.

[John Arne]

I think they need to change the scoring weighting between attack/defence. The best defender in the league is only the 12th highest points scorer overall, and there are only 2 in the top 20.

It seems to me that your team conceding a goal basically means a defender cannot score more than 2pts, whereas a striker can miss 3 one-on-ones but score a deflected 80th goal and score more.

[niko_cee]

Attackers are way more expensive though.

There's not really much you can do unless you go down the mega stats route (I think Yahoo runs/ran a fantasy football like that) - and that avenue makes it almost completely unintelligible to 90% of players.

The World Cup one had clearances and shit like that.

[Magic]

I might just buy 3 shit defenders and invest the rest elsewhere.

[John Arne]

Attackers are way more expensive though.


That's a fair point. I may just sack of my defenders soon and blow it all on the midfield and attack.

[Magic]

8 points with 3 to play. :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I played my bench boost to get Winjnaldum's points, just a shame Toby did fuck all, Sagna is still warming the bench for City and De Gea will concede.

Still, 18 with Fabianski, Glen Johnson, Bellerin, Ozil (C), Mahrez, Arnautovic, Martial, Ighalo and De Gea to play.

[Magic]

27 now.

[niko_cee]

Thought the site was just being slow to update, then I see Kolorov went off after 51 minutes.

:mad:

[Magic]

What's the cut off for clean sheets?

[niko_cee]

60 minutes I think. It's a totally bullshit rule.

[Samadini]

Transferred Costa in before the end of the game. :harold:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Mahrez :moop:

[Magic]

26 now cheers Mahrez. Darmain to come in, Giroud and Ighalo.

[Adamski]

Hello top spot :cool:

[niko_cee]

Have they changed the wild card setup? I thought it was one available for the whole season, and one for January only - but now it seems to be saying one per half season? What the fuck is that all about? Have I missed out on using the pre-January one because I was keeping it in the bank for a late season blitz (that everyone will be able to do now)?

[Baz]

All out attack this week. Hopefully there's an absolute ton of goals in every game, with Delle Alli scoring the majority.

[Mazuuurk]

Yeah, unfortunately that's exactly the case :(

Used my second wildcard now to get Aguero and Sanchez in. Not sure about that (both so pricy), but need to do something to set me apart to catch up in my leagues, miracles need to happen now.

[niko_cee]

What a load of shit.

Was that the rule at the start of the season?

I did think it was odd that some of the 'big guns' were spaffing theirs after a few weeks.

:mad:

[Weaver]

This week's fixtures are looking difficult for defences (can't see many clean sheets) so All Out Attack might be a good call, Baz.

[Magic]

Shite week. Totally lost tbh. Thought I'd cracked it. Wildcard time, me thinks.

[phonics]

What a load of shit.

Was that the rule at the start of the season?

I did think it was odd that some of the 'big guns' were spaffing theirs after a few weeks.

:mad:

It was changed when they added the chips in. You get a wildcard for each half of the season.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

66 points.

I had accidentally put Fabianski as my vice captain but that worked out well for me.

Bench boost could have worked better with Sagna and Ozil not playing but De Gea on 9 and Wijnaldum taking 13 made it a useful play.

Up to 16th.

Magic, the trickling sensation that you are feeling going across your forehead is my piss.

[Mazuuurk]

This week's fixtures are looking difficult for defences (can't see many clean sheets) so All Out Attack might be a good call, Baz.

I thought that too at first, but then we have Arsenal - Chelsea playing, which for me at least means 3 of my midfielders in that game, and I reckon that may well be a 0-0 affair.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

I thought that too at first, but then we have Arsenal - Chelsea playing, which for me at least means 3 of my midfielders in that game, and I reckon that may well be a 0-0 affair.

That's what I'm thinking too.

If they go for it they'd blitz Chelsea but they wont because Wenger will have too much respect.

[Mazuuurk]

Well, Chelsea are looking a lot better as well. Defence does still seem quite shaky still, though.
But you're right, I think, Arsenal will pussy out.

[Magic]

You wretched cunt. I bet your piss is dark yellow and fucking stinks as well.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://health.clevelandclinic.org/2013/10/what-the-color-of-your-urine-says-about-you-infographic/

I'd say between transparent yellow and dark yellow.

I'd be willing to eat some asparagus and turn it amber just for you though.

[Magic]

Anyone else eat Asparagus just to make their piss smell wonderful? :drool:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Wijnaldum captain :moop:

[Weaver]

Got 5s from Shelvey, Kane and Deeney, but a grand total of 3 from Alderweireld, Clyne and Dann.

Cech, de Bruyne, Barkley, Ramsey and Lukaku (C) to go.

[niko_cee]

If United had got a clean sheet I would have been seething beyond belief, what with Darmian being subbed off after 59 minutes.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

http://i.imgur.com/DK59zmn.png

Used my wildcard although I'd have held off if I knew this GW was today and tomorrow.

Payet, Ozil, Sanchez and Khazri can fuck off.

[Magic]

50 with Barkley, Lukaku and Ighalo to play.

[Andy]

53 with Lukaku and Zouma to play. Bertrand is my sub if either of them don't play.

Aguero getting a last minute stupid yellow cost me 8 points. Cunt.

This season is going to be a bit strange, there will be loads of blank game weeks, loads of double game weeks and I think the chips will make a huge difference. Should be fun.

GW30 could potentially be three games.

[Magic]

57 now. Eriksen as captain was visionary. Still, not one green arrow in my league view, only one red and lots of grey. :(

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sagna not playing and Dann my first sub :drool:

[Magic]

Lol. I opted for Russel Martin instead of Dann because I watched Villa during the week and they looked like they'd never score ever.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Couple that with selling Lukaku for Costa and making Firminho captain...

You might as well end it Magic.

[Magic]

I was making good progress as well.

[Magic]

Firmy. :drool:

[Andy]

Finally seem to be having some joy.

59 with Sanchez, Bellerin and Costa today. I'm sure they will let me down but Costa and Sanchez are both due a haul.

Very strange season with all the premium priced players being total crap for the best part.

[Magic]

76 points last week, 79 this week. :drool:

[niko_cee]

Not a bad week. What's really pissing me off though is that, after starting 12 mother fucking league games in a row I sign up Per Shitsacker. He gets fucking sent off in his first game (for me) and hasn't played in either of Arsenal's last clean sheet scoring games. Wankers.

[Andy]

Finally seem to be having some joy.

59 with Sanchez, Bellerin and Costa today. I'm sure they will let me down but Costa and Sanchez are both due a haul.

Very strange season with all the premium priced players being total crap for the best part.

Costa with a really jammy last minute goal to claim all three bonus. Quite lucky, hopefully he can carry that on for a few weeks and out score Lukaku in that period.

Was impressed by Bournemouth again yesterday and they have a tidy run of games. Will probably do Zouma -> Daniels for next week.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Sagna out for Borthwick Jackson was my only transfer this week.

http://i.imgur.com/ZK8E75d.png

Really thought we'd get a clean sheet this week but Borthwick has the opportunity to grab an assist.

[Magic]

Exactly same transfer, mate.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Get out of my head.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

At least Khazri is a beast.

They've given Kone the assist and said De Gea scored an own goal, wankers. Absolute fucking wankers.

So instead of 3 points I've been given -2, FUCK THIS SHITTY GAME.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Make Payet captain for 2 weeks and he does fuck all so I hand it to Lukaku this week.

Cue Payet scoring a goal and creating assist with Lukaku doing fuck all...

[Magic]

Barkers was my captain. WBA worst away form.

[Magic]

Possibly another sub-30 week this week, lads.

[Andy]

55.

Sanchez has now gone 9 league games without doing anything. If he had gotten any points I'd have been well above average, compounded by Ozil getting a decent score.

Should do well against United, got a brace earlier in the season and United haven't got any full backs.

[Magic]

44 for me, disappointing I couldn't keep up my run, 15 points on the bench as well. No games until the 27th now.

[Weaver]

Ramsey and Shelvey OUT for Willian and Kouyaté.

Butland; Alderweireld, Bertrand, Azpiliceuta, Dann; Kouyate, Sanchez, Willian ; Kane (C), Vardy (VC), Deeney.

[Magic]

39 points, with 3 Spurs players to play and that's it. If they don't thump Swansea I'm fucked.

[Magic]

6 points from the three Yid cunts.

[P_3]

Wow, 18 points from 7 players. Absolute bollocks.

[Andy]

Is it usually this close?



Up to 3rd thanks to Arnie. I'm coming for you, Andy.

Very strange season because of all the chips. I've got bench boost, triple captain and my wildcard left. Could end up being worth loads of points there.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Goal for Toby, Sanchez and Kane :drool:

[Andy]

Some many goals and so many points. Will be a really high scoring game week. Think I'm on about 70 with Mahrez and Fuchs to go.

[niko_cee]

Aguero and Lukaku both missed penalties?

:cab:

I just hope to god Leicester don't get one.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Fabianski, Payet and Daniels on my bench :(

[P_3]

What are people doing this week? Taking a point hit from bringing in enough players to field a full team or just leaving the gaps unfilled and hoping that this will be a low scoring week?

[niko_cee]

I think I have a maximum of 10 available.

Was really hoping Hull would do me a favour in midweek.

[Samadini]

Tried to bring Afobe in for Costa at 11:44, clicked transfer and then it took me to the updating page.

Don't know if it's gone through.

Might be seething, I'm not sure.

[Weaver]

I've got barely any players - both keepers are available, Alderweireld, Kane, Vardy (C) and Bertrand I think.

Double gameweeks must be starting soon :drool:

[Samadini]

Afobe made it :cool:

Is actually sitting on my bench, so I'd have been seething even fucking more, but I've got two in my lineup who aren't playing.

[Magic]

Aguero worth the -4 and Captain appointment :sick:

[Magic]

Could be looking at a single figure points week lads.

[Magic]

Ok 18 points from 3 players, including the captain. So my remaining 6 are against Villa and Newcastle. What's the betting I get fuck all. :moop:

[Samadini]

Could have been a really good week for me if I went with anyone other than Aguero as captain, but I'm sure that's the case for most.

Got nothing to play for, so just having the odd good week is fairly pleasing.

[John Arne]

Yeah, I captained Aguero, too. Useless Argentinian cunt.

[Andy]

60 points. Top of the main league but stuck at 12th in the H2h league.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

86 points.

Forgot to take out Daniels for Payet and would have made Kane captain which would have given me an extra 15 points but I can't complain.

[Magic]

66. Thought I had a decent week but apparently not. Been above average for the past 4 weeks but so has everyone else. :S

[Andy]

100 points with a GW rank of 4,800.

Taking ages to decide on my wildcard team for the double game weeks. Might drop Aguero the useless sack of shite.

[niko_cee]

Yeah, Aguero out is top of the agenda. And Kolarov. Christ knows when he last played.

Are these double game weeks ever going to be actually scheduled?

[Andy]

34 and 37. They are all on the FPL site.

They are all announced apart from Everton vs Palace.

[Weaver]

Had an alright Saturday with Sanchez, Payet and Vardy getting assists and Deeney scoring for Watford, but Sunday topped it with Captain Kane's points combined with Alderweireld and Lloris' clean sheets.

First good week in ages.

[phonics]

80 points. Shame I took out Fabregas for it though...

[niko_cee]

With the double game weeks being so big it feels like there is less of an advantage to be had. Virtually everyone is going to be able to easily field a double points/game team with or without a wild card to play.

[Samadini]

Aye, I forgot to change my captain, so it's still Kane, would have been all over Aguero this week.

[Magic]

Payet for me stupidly.

[The Merse]

Bollocks. Brought in Courtois specifically for this weekend and didn't or him in the first XI. Still, 75 odd points will do me.

[Andy]

Played my wildcard ready for bench boost in 34 and triple captain in 37.

Robles / Mignolet
Smalling / Gabriel / Bellerin / Delaney / Simpson
KdB / Sanchez / Coutinho / Lanzini / Bolasie
Aguero / Lukaku / Martial

Hooefully will have 9-11 double players in gw37 as well.

[niko_cee]

I was thinking of triple captaining Martial next week.

[Weaver]

I wildcarded this morning, making the following changes:
Robles IN for Lloris
Fuchs IN for Azpilicueta
Ward IN for Alderweireld
de Bruyne IN for Willian
Alli IN for Henderson

The Ward transfer has worked well so far, but de Bruyne (C) is on the bench for Man City.

[John Arne]

Just realised that assists are only worth 3 pts That's shit - an assist should be worth exactly the same as a goal.

[Trancemeister]

Triple captained Lukaku :moop:

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Triple captained Lukaku :moop:

As did I.

Luckily he has one more game to do something.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Toby my third sub :(

[Magic]

66 points. Can't believe I captained Barkley. Everyone else would have been a better option.

[John Arne]

64. VC Mahrez with a mare.

[Trancemeister]

Not only did I triple captain Lukaku, I sold Vardy to bring him in.

[Magic]

Lol, so I picked Barkley as captain because Lolerton are playing twice, and he did shit and is now injured for the next game.

Only 2 players scored the same as him, everyone else in my team got more. Great choice MJ.

[Weaver]

0-0 last night was an excellent result for me - Robles got a clean sheet, two points for six saves and the three bonus points, whilst Joel Ward got another clean sheet after his assist and clean sheet at the weekend. Barkley got 3 as well.

Only bad decisions, in hindsight, were leaving Alli on the bench and putting de Bruyne as Captain, but they were well reasoned at the time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Lukaku can die in a fire, useless wanker.

[Mazuuurk]

I did the same trade as Trance, but at least I didn't triple captain him (fucking considered it though!).

Bench boost next week, took a -4 hit to get an extra Liverpool player in (Moreno), first one in a long while.

Still have Triple captain to be used, will do it on whatever next time there are double fixtures, I guess probably Liverpool. Firmino better find his form again.


The "All out attack" chip honestly doesn't seem like it would help much, half of the time.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Look at the scores for the top 10 defenders, midfielders and strikers and then say that.

[Andy]

I think I got 9 points from my AoA chip. It's not great as usually most people play with 7 expensive attackers and then a cheap enabler.

[Magic]

86 points, probably one of my best if not my best game week. Watch it all come crashing down with a 30 pointer this weekend.

[Baz]

Captain Elneny this week. :cool:

[Magic]

Bizarre set of fixtures coming up lads, lots of players not playing and no stand out humpings I can see.

[Mazuuurk]

Andy need your advice here bro. Should I go for selling Lukaku for Kane next week - given that my mate-league all 4 are withing like 15 points of each other at this point (intense), and they all have Kane but I don't. OR, should I replace my 2nd keeper (Hennessey) with a keeper that will get playtime in the next week? Because I'm able to field a 4-5-1 right now with Aguero up front, but won't have anyone in goal.

So, 10 players + Kane, or 11 players without Kane?

I'm only doing one transfer.

3rd option is to replace Lukaku with Sturridge, as he's got more games coming up. But I'm inclined to also replace one of my 3 arsenal midfielders with Coutinho.


HMMMM!

[Magic]

Two weeks in a row my captain choices have been utterly dire. I could have hit 100 points each time if I'd have picked almost any other players apart from the ones I picked.

[Andy]

HMMMM!

Don't get Coutinho he will get rested at some point.

I'd bring in Kane and captain him.

If you change your keeper the best case scenario you get 6 points for a clean sheet and Kane gets 2 points. Worst case scenario you get 1 point from you keeper and your mates all captain Kane and he scores a couple.

With such small ground to make up go for the obvious transfer.

[Andy]

Looks like I'll be on close to 150 this week. :|

[Mazuuurk]

Don't get Coutinho he will get rested at some point.

I'd bring in Kane and captain him.

And thus has the Master spoken :hail:

[Andy]

I did Lukaku to Kane this morning.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

The highest scorer thus far makes me sick.

21 points from a fucking keeper and 78 points from triple captain Aguero.

Christ.

[Weaver]

107 for me this week - the only real let down was Deeney's performance - 1 point on Saturday, -1 on Tuesday for missing a penalty.


The highest scorer thus far makes me sick.

21 points from a fucking keeper and 78 points from triple captain Aguero.

Christ.

The top scorer ended up with 226 using his bench boost :uhoh:

Gomes and de Gea 33
Bellerin, Kolarov, Koscielny, Cresswell and Darmian 55
Firmino, Coutinho, Antonio, Payet and Sanchez (C) 85
Sturridge, Aguero and Rashford 53

Vile.

[Mazuuurk]

I did Lukaku to Kane this morning.

Yep, done as well.

Anyway, still thinking about leaving Aguero for captain instead of Kane. Aguero seems to have come back to form.

Stoke have also been leaking like Snowden recently.

[Magic]

Aguero is my captain, I made two stinkers not making him captain for the past 2 gameweeks so no doubt he'll get injured in the 1st minute.

[Magic]

Might change to Firminio actually.

EDIT: Nah, Stoke are fucking shit plus Poocastle will be fighting for their PREMIERSHIP LIVES.

[Pen]

I can't decide wether to play Schmeichel or Cech this weekend. I'm leaning towards Schmeichel as Sunderland still have something to play for and Leicester are at home.

[Mazuuurk]

Never got around to swapping Aguero as captain for Kane. At least Aguero scored now, but even though I have Kane in my team it ends up being better for me if he does nothing. Don't mind if Alli scores though, as only 2 of us in my league have him (everyone has Kane).

[Magic]

Really shit week coming up. Very hard to call. I've binned Martial (cunt) for Vardy and captained him in the hope they do the scummers over.

[Mazuuurk]

This week is all about loading your team up with Liverpool, West Ham and United players.

For me though, I've got 3 Arsenal players in midfield, and Aguero, Rashford and Kane up front.

For the front three - I don't feel I should change it. Rashford could be replaced but with 4 games left and his at least decent form, he seems incredible value at this point.
Ozil - Sanchez - Iwobi in midfield - Sure, one of these could probably go for Payet and/or Milner. Then again, Arsenal have Norwich home this week, and I'm a little weary of taking anyone out there. If anyone, probably Ozil, but after his dry spell (and Arsenals) a home game against Norwich is exactly the kind of game where Arses will perform again.

As for defence, I could replace anyone there. I have Ward (don't need him), Huth + Simpson (might as well keep them) & Moreno (prolly very good to keep) & Alderweireld (have to keep). So I could fuck Ward off and get Cresswell in, which might make sense. Then again, not sure if there's that much value there, and I still have to play my all out attack chip in this week or the last round (not GM37 because double captain then).

So. This is my team:

Gomes - Hennessey
Moreno - Huth - Simpson - Alderweireld - Ward
Ozil - Sanchez - Iwobi - Firmino - Alli
Aguero - Rashford - Kane

This gameweek it's either Ward OUT and Cresswell IN, or Ozil OUT and Payet IN

I'm also kind of tempted by Carroll (!) and Sturridge, but then again, I don't see replacing Aguero, Rashford or Kane as a good idea for either of those, so midfield is where it's at.

Maybe Iwobi will have to go next GW. Milner maybe.

[Pen]

Really shit week coming up. Very hard to call. I've binned Martial (cunt) for Vardy and captained him in the hope they do the scummers over.

Isn't Vardy going to be banned for that game?

[Magic]

No.

[Pen]

You're right, he hasn't been banned yet, but there's a chance he might get a ban for his reacton to the second yellow against West Ham.

[Magic]

No.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Yes.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36099274

Idiot.

[Magic]

No.

[Baz]

I've captained Defoe.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

No.

Yes.

[Magic]

Waste of a transfer and captain choice gone. :******************(

[Mazuuurk]

LADS, need more advice.

What do you reckon, should I play
Moreno - Alderweireld - Huth
Sanchez - Ozil - Payet - Firmino

OR


Play the all out attack card and play:

Moreno - Alderweireld
Sanchez - Ozil - Payet - Firmino - Iwobi


The later is more risk / reward I suppose, since Arsenal might rest someone (would they tho?), and Leicesters defence is solid.
Then again, United have looked decent of late and I reckon they can get a goal in.

[Magic]

Buy in Vardy and captain him mate.

[Andy]

Bought Payet in for KDB. Have 4.5m in the bank and will probably take a hit next week for the double game week.

[Samadini]

I've broken my rule on changing captaincy on the morning of the games, as it always backfires.

I've gone for Sturridge over Sanchez. Arsenal were fucking useless against Sunderland.

[Magic]

Firmy is my captain.

[Andy]

Sanchez

[Mazuuurk]

:moop: :moop: :moop: :moop: :moop: :moop: :moop: :moop:

[Magic]

20 points so far with 4 played.

[Mazuuurk]

That ain't too bad. I'm on 16 with 5 played, one who was my Cap (fuck you Sanchez).

[Samadini]

The wise man puts Defoe in his side for next week, but I can't bring myself to do it, so I've gone for Carroll instead.

[Pen]

I was worried that getting Deeney instead of Rashford was a shit move, but Deeney ended up being my highest scorer today. Top 5 in all the other leagues I'm in and top ten still looks possible in TTH

[Mazuuurk]

Alderweireld OUT
Cresswell IN

My league is fucking tight. I'm 2nd but only by 4 points. I have my Triple captain chip left which the leader doesn't (neither have Bench Boost either).
I'm triple captaining Payet over both Kane and Aguero.

I'm also contemplating selling Özil for Noble, as I also have Sanchez and Iwobi, and I reckon Arsenal - City might be a bit of a bore.
- But I'm a little scared to get a -4 point hit, given how tight things are.

[Magic]

I've taken a -4 hit and opted for Morgan instead of Aldy and Noble in too, as captain.

[Mazuuurk]

The only doubt I have about Noble is how likely it is that he scores AGAIN now, given what sort of player he normally is.

Then again....

[Samadini]

Was going to change it to someone sensible, but I'm too late.

Andy Carroll triple captained :rasta:

[Magic]

Spewing that I don't have Martial.

Injured in the warm up. :D

[Magic]

I've taken a -4 hit and opted for Morgan instead of Aldy and Noble in too, as captain.

Inspired captain choice and well worth the -4.

[Andy]

How did West Ham manage to lose 1-4 to a massively under strength Swansea side? Triple captain on Payet for that just about sums it all up.

[Mazuuurk]

I've also Triple captained Payet. He better redeem this a little against United.

[Magic]

Disgusting week. Why is Klopp not picking Firmy in the league? Only 33 points for fuck sake.

[Mazuuurk]

At least he came on and scored. Why he's not picking him is quite obvious.

[Weaver]

Managed to get to 40 points this week with de Bruyne and Sanchez's goals and bonus points yesterday.

I've still got Robles, Clyne, Cresswell, Payet, Brady, Deeney and Defoe (C) to reappear as well.

Another non-appearance from Clyne will put Walker's point in the first XI.

[Baz]

I thought id captained Firmino with Defoe as vice, but it turns out I did it the other way round. They both scored in their first game but you can bet your ass Bobby will run riot against Chelsea on Wednesday.

[SincereTheRebel]

After being outside the top 50 for the past three years, decent form has pushed me into 33rd place. 20 points behind 32nd.

[Samadini]

I triple captained a guy who got 3 points over two games :drool:

[Weaver]

Who was it, Clyne or something?

Clyne and Cresswell got a combined 3 points from 4 games for me, but Sanchez (8), de Bruyne (9), Payet (12), Defoe (C) with 20 and Deeney's 12 scored 76 overall.

I think I've won my friends league now, unless 2nd can overturn a 35 point gap.

[Baz]

It's finished.

Well done Andy

Wooden spoon for igor_balis

:clap:

[phonics]

Top 30 dead or alive.

[Magic]

Disgusting final few weeks. Fucking crap.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Top of the Championship, I'll take that.

Silverware :drool:

[igor_balis]

Fantasy football is shit, fuck the lot of you.

[Andy]

Good season again, enjoyed the second half way more than the first.

[Mazuuurk]

Definitely agree, Andy. It's because the second season was, well... normal. The first half just went insane when all the Leicester players kept performing week in and week out and made it possible for basically everyone to have an optimised team for like 90M.

[Sir Andy Mahowry]

Accidentally clicked on my bookmark for the site and I think the new layout is shit.

[Samadini]

At least the barely working shit app will be free this year.

[Andy]

The new layout is gash and it's taking them forever to release it. Bastards.

[Pleb]

How the fuck was I 48th last season?

:D

[SincereTheRebel]

finished a point behind diljeet again...

[Trancemeister]

New season has opened.

[Pleb]

I can't renew the league which is :cab:
