Dropped to 17th after BP's and out of the top 1,000. Shocking luck with captain choices lately, really need to luck out in the double GW.

I'm only 8 points behind you and dropped nearly 1000 places down to 1700.

I've less points than the average (so far) that'll be a first for me this season!

hupskip · 23-04-2012 12:33pm

Lampard anybody?

grohlisagod · 23-04-2012 12:37pm

How many DGW players are people going into the weekend with? I'll probably take a 4 point hit and get myself 7. Funnily enough 1 of my transfers will probably involve me taking out one DGW player for another.

If he wasn't playing quite so deep I'd be tempted but he's not even 100% guaranteed to play both games which for me is too much of a risk for 11m. Could be an inspired gamble.

KevIRL · 23-04-2012 12:46pm

Still undecided if ill take a 4 pt hit to get in an extra dgw player. Hmmmmm. Prob wont decide till much later in the week anyway

roryc · 23-04-2012 12:48pm

I've already done it, worked so well for me this week didn't it!

Haha minimum i will be taking is an 8 point hit, possible 12 this wk! I havnt a hope of catching 1st now! 86 points behind! My closet rival has shot up 70 points ahead and the nearest to me is a good 80 behind! Stuck in 4th!:o

Miserable few weeks lately!

brought in:

Jelavic for RVP
Dempsey for Arteta

Already have Cisse and BArfa (Also R Taylor but hes not starting lately so ill probably leave him on the bench!)

So far only a 4 point hit! Defo think ill be getting another DGW player in and have 3 swansea players who ill keep!

Thinking of shipping Valencia out for Bale or VDV but neither of them have done anything spectacular lately to warrant another 4 point hit??

Panthro · 23-04-2012 1:43pm

Valencia and Greham are out, Pineaar and Cisse in.
Think I might actually bench Shawcross and go three at the back, play Siggy as he is home to Wolves.

roryc · 23-04-2012 2:13pm

After a 4 point hit I've 8 for the double GW + Siggy, Tevez and RVP. It's all about lucking out on your captain choice though.

Dempsey, Cisse, Jelavic, Bale, VDV... one of them will score big.

cunninstunt · 23-04-2012 3:17pm

What are peoples thoughts on Mata for the double gameweek? Trying to decide between him and Dempsey at the moment, Dempsey has two away fixtures, Liverpool and Everton. Mata has two home games, QPR and Newcastle. Is theree a doubt whether Mata will play both games or not?

I like Chelsea's run in, home to Blackburn on the last day and Chelsea need to fight hard for champions League Places.

unkymo · 23-04-2012 3:29pm

I'm taken a 16 point hit!

6 transfers (2 free) this week.

Out go; Walcott,Kelly,Rooney,Ferguson,Varmaelen and Valencia.
In come; Cabaye,Skertel,Saurez,Downing,Assou-Ekotto and Bale.

My team for next week will be
Friedel,
Skertel,Simpson,BAE;
Cabaye,Bale,Downing ,Dempsey;
Saurez,Cisse and RVP.
Subs; Ruddy,Caulker,McAuley,McClean.

I'll have 10 players for the DGW.
I'm going to take a huge gamble on Liverpool doing something this week. They have been a bit unlucky recently, making chances but not scoring. Saurez or Cisse for captain, I think!

Downing will get you 3 points. Definitely not worth the hit.

Captain Suarez for the DGW........and no i am not drunk!!!!

Sold Rooney for him as i reckon the derby will be a low scoring affair,benching any City or Utd players i have
Have 9 doubles plus Siggy and Vorm or Mignolet in goal

Suarez will probably be rested for the cup final so you'll most likely only get one game out of him.

mailburner · 23-04-2012 8:20pm

really torn on a mid for the double gameweek

who would you go for from these three?

vdv overdue, its now or never for this double gw surely
dempsey, hard fixtures but a goal or assist would make it worhtwhile
mata...will he play both games

ill have 7 dgws so want to make it 8
cant possibly leave out siggy or caulker home to wolves
and a little bit scared to leave out verma as hes one defender
who always threatens the goal and having him on the bench
wouldnt sit well with me

unkymo · 24-04-2012 12:20am

I know its nuts but f**k it, I need to gamble this week!

I have more or less 2 teams for this week while most of my rivals have 4 or 5 players in for the DGW.

I'm captaining Saurez. I'm presuming he'll play at least 60 minutes in each game which will be 8 points and if he scores then thats another 8 which wipes out the 16 point hit. Whatever Cabaye,Skertel and Downing do over 2 games each will be a bonus!

That's IF he scores... He'll probably get rested a bit for the cup final too...

For me.....

Wildcard in play at the mo. Went for Howard in goals with Cahill, BAE and Verm in defence.

Up top it's Jelly, Cisse and RVP. Midfield's my only worry. Currently have Siggy, Dempsey, VdV and Mata. It's a toss up between VdV and Bale so that might change. VdV will be on penos if Ade misses out though so that's a help. Not at all happy with Mata, just not sure he'll get enough gametime over the two games. I'll see how Chelsea get on at the Nou Camp first though.

Subs are Jevans, Val (both of whom I'll be keeping), Turner and Vorm. Might get Sczesney (?) for his last two games. If not, it'll be Begovic or maybe Ruddy. I'm considering a Lpool defender for Turner and starting them ahead of Verm but still not sure I want to do that.

Toss up between Jelly and Cisse for captain. It's on J at the mo but I might change that later in the week.

Any must have players if you're playing the wildcard?

Quick question, when playing your wildcard, if you play it today for example, does this still allow you to make unlimited transfers for the week?

cunninstunt · 24-04-2012 11:23am

so far my transfers this week look like the following

sagna > shotton
ireland > mata
mcclean > pienaar
aguero > cisse

will leave me with 6 DGW players, the four above and Bale and BAE. Have a wildcard so may tinker a little more with this.

manual_man · 24-04-2012 12:52pm

Jesus man you have a wildie why not go all out and go 11

SpaceCowb0y · 24-04-2012 12:58pm

Ok so far ive taken a 4 point hit and brought Dempsey in for Arteta and Jelavic for RVP.

Am contmeplating taking a 12 point hit considering iv an 80 point gap at the top of the table as ive said before but will definitely be making at least 1 more change.

So far im thinking either:

Ship R Taylor out for Simpson (possible 2 CS, Newcastle have tough fixtures but there on fire lately!)

Or

Swap Sessegnon for either Bale or VDV (Had Bale for a long time and sub'd him for Sess for the Wolves game (Epic fail) but he hasnt really done anything much lately or VDV but is he likely to play both games?)

Any other suggestions... Was thinking Mata but he has the CL to play so could be rested??

Dempsey · 24-04-2012 1:02pm

Mata & Lampard are prone to rotation so its hard to justify a 4 point hit for them

darego · 24-04-2012 1:09pm

Went
mcclean > cabaye
walcott > dempsey
van persie > jelavic

For an 8 pt hit. Worth it though i would say! Leaves me with 8 doublers

team is
Begovic
simpson gallas chaulker
dempsey bale cabaye sigurdsson
cisse(C) aguero jelavic

benched szczney, valencia, lescott and evans. 7 mil in the bank probably could have worked something better oh well. Its all fun at this stage,107 points clear in my money league

manual_man wrote: »

Had thought about it, am currently 12 points clear at top but second has 2 villa players tonight, Given and Weimann. Reason I wasn't going for 11 was because I am trying not to ruin myself for the last two gameweeks as well. Would be very tough to pick a full squad that would perform well in the last few gameweeks as well. My team at the moment is

Mignolet
Shotton, Simpson, BAE
Bale,Pienaar,Mata, Valencia
Rooney,Cisse(c),RVP

Al-Habsi, Taylor,Evans,Johnson

Could still possible change Mata to Dempsey if I wanted but not sure, fulham are away both games, Chelsea at home both of theirs.

cullenswood · 24-04-2012 6:17pm

Sorenson

Walker, Kelly, Simpson
Davies M, Walcott, Siggy, Bale, Valenci
RVP, Rooney

Evans, Holt, Richards.

Leading my League by only 18 points. Team in a mess, have 2 free subscription and 1.4 in bank. I'm willing to take a points hit. Will certainly be getting rid of Walcott and Richards, and prob Holt. Going to bring in Cisse, but not sure who else. Any advice lads?

RB100 · 24-04-2012 11:05pm

I can't see any obvious changes at the moment apart from Jellyfish, if even him so my plan will be this

Tevez(what a fail this week cus I sold Rooney) - Jelevic
Valencia - Ben Arfa
Fergason - Cabaye
-8 point hit

Leaves me with 7.0 in the bank. Opinions please?

Maybe consider an Everton midfielder instead of Ben Arfa or Cabaye. Their fixtures are better and attacking form similar. Both teams have scored 2 or more in their last 5 games.

Newcastle v Everton
36 Wigan (A) Fulham (H)
36 Chelsea (A) Stoke City (A)
37 Man City (H) Wolves (A)
38 Everton (A) Newcastle (H)

mufcboy1999 · 25-04-2012 5:15pm

Iv had jelvic a few weeks now so I'm sorted thinking either Saurez or crouch to partner him alongside wazza.

Also gona bring in John terry and possibly mata maybe gerrard if I opt for crouch over Saurez.

Is gerrard injured lads because he didn't play the last game right ?

Cheers

Gerrard and Suarez will only start 1 of the games. They'll both be rested for the cup final. Liverpool have nothing to play for in the league, except perhaps Dalglish's job.

In fairness you should have waited til after the Champs league game if you wanted to get in any Chelsea players. Not being cheeky but that's the truth. Always the chance of an injury or 2. Or JT kickin someone up the ass :pac:

Ah f*ck the fa cup slipped my mind completely, suppose the same can be said for a few Chelsea players now.

Terry has been moaning of cracked ribs, cole didn't start last week, liuz and Cahill injured !!

Have to give these transfers serious taught now, 22 points behind in private league the winner gets 500 quid , need to do well this double gw.

I need the cash
