Game week 23 match day thread

thunderdog · 31-01-2015 8:20am #1

After a well earned break we are all eager to get this game week started. I have feeling this could be a very non standard week with Chelsea v city, Sanchez out and an out of form united playing Leicester. Who will pull in the big points this week and who will blank? Your guess is as a good as mine

Little Bubbles · 31-01-2015 8:52am

Hopefully rvp does the business for me. think he'll gdt a goal or 2

FHFC · 31-01-2015 9:12am

All wildcarded and good to go, with a couple of last minute changes which I'll leave for a surprise for Rikand later.

Good to have two weeks of wildcard scheming over.

The Wild Bunch · 31-01-2015 9:23am

So is Sanchez 100% out?

Mint Sauce · 31-01-2015 9:23am

Will discover today if the WC that was activated, on the saturday afternoon of the last GW, was worth it.

Still was making changes last night on the News of Costas ban, could still make one or two more before 11.30.

Arsenal have so many mf options. I can't see why they would risk him against villa

G1032 · 31-01-2015 10:07am

I'm going to stick with both Silva and Downing for this week. It'd take a minus 4 to get rid of either so I'll leave it. Fingers crossed.

Fenson · 31-01-2015 10:43am

Foster
Wisdom, Gardos, Sakho, PVA
Hazard, Sterling, di Maria (vc)
Kane, Giroud (c), Aguero

Bench: Sanchez, Boyd, Hutton.

It is okey? I really hope that Spurs do nothing today becouse of my WBA defs, so I was thinking to switch Kane with Boyd. However its to risky, this guy could be a goalmachine. Last night did Costa -> Giroud and he is my captain option. Lets get it started! I have really missed it!

Necronomicon · 31-01-2015 10:47am

Don't have a great feeling about this week. I went for Rooney over Giroud as my Costa replacement, but I'm very uncertain about the choice.

Forster
Wisdom Hutton Bellerin
Sterling Silva Hazard Sanchez
Kane Aguero Rooney

1) Going to leave Sanchez in the team in case a miracle happens; Boyd will replace him

2) Not happy about Hutton in there, but the alternative is N.Taylor

3) Still torn on captaincy

Paully D · 31-01-2015 10:47am

Morning lads/lasses. Great to have it back! Well, that is until 4:50pm when we all want to throw ourselves out the window. :pac: I line-up as follows:

Pretty happy with this side this gameweek.

Bench is strong if Sanchez or Ivanovic don't play, but my only worry is that Arsenal are struggling to break down Villa and Wenger throws Alexis on for a 10 minute, 1 point cameo. I cannot risk not starting him in case he does start however! Surely he will start or not at all with the hamstring injury? Really hoping my Johnson punt works out for both FPL and real-life reasons as Sunderland badly need a win today!

Good luck all.

Menas · 31-01-2015 11:14am

You know it is going to be a bad week when only 2 of your players are in the Scout picks.

Mint Sauce · 31-01-2015 11:14am

ADM v Leicester, have to get something out of that surely.

Other pondering is Cresswell v Liverpool, or Wisdom v Spurs and Kane (one of my fwds)

Look at it more so from a coverage point of view for their defensive picks.

For example, I don't have Pantilimon but do have van Aanholt who is likely to play instead of hamstrung Sanchez, therefore I'd count that as one. If I had Clyne I'd be counting him for their Bertrand pick. I have 6 using that method. Sunderland, Southampton, Jones, Hazard, Giroud and Pelle.

I wouldn't get too caught up on it though. They've changed the selection method this year so no longer just pick the best players for any given gameweek. They get 4 or 5 people to pick a side and the FF Scout community and then balance it off. Some of the Scout Picks sides they've put together only cost around £90m. There won't be too many with £10m left in their bank each week!

Copper_pipe · 31-01-2015 11:24am

Went mad a took a 12 point hit

Foster
Terry-Jones-Bertrand
Hazard-Cazorla-ADM-Puncheon
Aguero-kane-Giroud(c)

Myhill- Boyd-Hutton-PVA

Would ye start Puncheon or PVA?

Great FFS piece on Johnson and Sunderland's potential. I've decided to go for a punt with him myself. I saw somebody on here mention 3 home games in the next 4 so hopefully he grabs some points.

It allows me to bank 2 million for future moves as well.

Necronomicon · 31-01-2015 11:39am

Disregard my previous post. In a fit of madness, wildcard played:

patmac · 31-01-2015 12:05pm

Krul
Terry Bertrand PVA
Sanchez Cazorla(c) ADM Hazard
Aguero Pelle Kane

Baird to come in if Sanchez doesn't play.

harpstilidie · 31-01-2015 12:21pm

Are people starting Sanchez in the hope that he plays? Doesn't look like he will.

irish son · 31-01-2015 12:22pm

Hart
Terry C.Davies Duff
Sanchez Hazard Di Maria Silva
Aguero Kane Defoe(c)

Downing Naylor Hutton

Really should have used my wildcard as my teams falling apart but keeping it until next week, took a punt on Defoe instead this week, having a poor season so what the hell.

The Wild Bunch · 31-01-2015 12:25pm

Sanchez to Cazrola last min YEEEEEEEEEEEEOW

Mr.Prodston · 31-01-2015 12:25pm

De Gea
Wisdom - Baines - O'Shea
Hazard (vc) - Sanchez - ADM - Walcott (c)
Aguero - Kane - Austin

Subs: Boyd - Hutton - Clark

Captain Theo. This is the week we'll see whether our fling over January becomes more permanent or not. I'm terrified but I can't let this opportunity escape.

Copper_pipe · 31-01-2015 12:27pm

Could be a lot of differentials in my main league today and its slightly worrying to be honest

Honey Monster · 31-01-2015 12:30pm

Already started off on a bad foot this week. Made my free transfer before Costa went and stood all over Liverpool and got his ban. So I'm minus him today and Sanchez is injured too. Replacements are caroll and puncheon.

And while I'm ****ed I just went ahead and captained caroll.

Iused2likebusts · 31-01-2015 12:37pm

Foster
Wollschied Pva Jones
Ramsey silva sanchez adm hazard
Aguero Kane
Ings to come in for sanchez adm captain.

Ziegler1988 · 31-01-2015 12:40pm

WC played, ended up with:

Panti
Wolly Terry Clyne
Hazard(vc) Sanchez Sterling Punch
Aguero Giroud(c) Pelle

McCarthy PvA Baird Cork

Really need Sterling and Punch to do the business today since I chose them over every other midfielder

Stevecw · 31-01-2015 12:41pm

Delighted that 11.30 arrived, that was a stressful old Saturday morning playing the wildcard and trying to decide on a captain. Need a lie down now!

tom_k · 31-01-2015 12:47pm

Shiny new wildcard team.

Pantilimon
Terry - Van Aanholt - Bertrand
Hazard - Di Maria (V) - Sanchez - Eriksen
Austin - Giroud(C) - Aguero

Subs: Hamer - Boyd - Wisdom - Wasilewski

manual_man · 31-01-2015 12:48pm

Obertan starts :eek: edit: on bench! But still!
