Same here!! This weekend is a bit of a strange one, I only have 2 players available to come in after Saturdays games. A lot of hard choices to make for the 1st 11

haha yeah this week's a bit unique in that sense, just have the 1 United player myself, then Green and Zamora for QPR but i hope i won't have 2resort 2them

:p

TaytoCrisps · 12-09-2014 6:44pm

Almost took a gamble on walcott but decided i can always get him on loan for a few weeks . It could all go wrong by the time the next transfer window open. 2 spurs players in since they rotate nicely.

Only 1 player in my squad is playing md2/3 this week . lot of players benched who id like to have in

long night ahead tonight

Hackers · 12-09-2014 9:08pm

I've finished now, head melted! There will be points left on the bench, just have to accept that and move on!!

meh have Welbeck and Debuchy both benched at present, not sure whether to throw one (or both) of them into my starting XI, have Ramsey selected but only really have Di Maria as a good option after today if things don't work out. Welbeck would have to take the place of either Adebayor or Costa as i have Aguero starting too. Sooooo many decisions

Hackers · 13-09-2014 12:21pm

I have tried to balance things out as much as possible so as not to have too many from the same team in case said team(s) fire a blank. You have Ramsey for arsenal so that's probably enough from them

Feck it yeah just gonna go with what i have. Welbeck down as first outfield sub. Debuchy first defensive sub. Would be surprised if City didn't score and this is only Welbeck's very first game up against Kompany and DeMichelis

below is my finalized squad:

You went for the bargain basement players in defence I see. Looks very strong in midfield and attack.

I'm a bit pissed off with my team, I made my transfers after a few pints and didn't realize I had 2 villa defenders which isn't good.

Yeah you're never gonna be 100% happy with it i feel i got a pretty good spread, no Everton players but even with the bigger squad you're never gonna get everyone! Cheapie in defense like you said a bit risky but still have Ivan Debuchy and Lovren, hopefully the extra firepower in midfield and attack is worth it!

manual_man · 13-09-2014 2:43pm

ouuuuch a long-term injury for Debuchy will not be good for me. Wait and see but a loan may be already on the cards for me!

Hackers · 13-09-2014 2:58pm

In the same boat.....not sure if a loan for a defender is worth it when you have 7 defenders still to pick from

Yeah but a bit different from my perspective with my 5x 4.0M defenders selected. Wait and see it's GW8 before Arsenal's fixtures become really attractive anyway that's 5 weeks away

Hackers · 13-09-2014 3:04pm

That's a fair point, you don't want to playing more than 1 of those in any gameweek

84 points so far, but disappointed as I didnt captain Costa

manual_man · 13-09-2014 5:01pm

raging i didn't captain Costa in this :mad: went for a cheeky punt on Ivan

need Di Maria to do something tomorrow now to avoid egg on my face. would have been looking at a possible century score

Hackers · 13-09-2014 6:09pm

74 so far with costa captain. All depends on who did/didn't captain costa to see if that's a decent score or not

Copper_pipe · 13-09-2014 7:52pm

87 points!

that's a good score...

On 81 myself but that will be 78 after i sub out Sterling for Di Maria who'll be taking the captaincy off Ivan

- the cruel reality that if i'd captained Costa my current gw score would be 100 exactly

Dearg81 · 13-09-2014 9:07pm

I captained Costa and dropped 200 places in the rankings! Still have a 4 lads left though on 73 points at the moment.

Moved up a few hundred places into top 1K despite no C Costa. Might sneak up a bit more if C Di Maria performs tomorrow but then again I imagine most players have at least 1 United as option to replace any underperformers

Subbed in my 4 united lads there so my score is gone down to 80 now.

DDG, Di Maria, Rooney, Falcao

KevIRL · 14-09-2014 10:19am

Hit the top of the FSA league despite not captaining Costa. Made 3 sub's for a total deduction of 1 point

I think I was top but had a score of 60ish so dropped right down.

Only able to field 10 this week. 3 to play

KevIRL · 14-09-2014 6:11pm

Ton up! 106 points with Robertson to play. Can play Jelavic also but think I'll stick with Adebeyors 4 points

F1ngers · 14-09-2014 6:23pm

105.
Will bring in Vaz Te for Falcao.
Can't imagine that will happen too often.

salvaged

110pts wahey only possible left is Bruce on the off chance he starts i'll sub him in him for Ivan(2pts). only delighted

Copper_pipe · 14-09-2014 7:03pm

113 , nobody else to come off the bench.

8-10 · 14-09-2014 7:29pm

88, disappointing given other people's scores!

Gaston Ramirez to play, not expecting much but have two 0 scorers on my team so might as well sub him in for 1 of them

KevIRL · 14-09-2014 8:32pm

Back to the top of the pay league and 247th overall. Clean sheet tomorrow for Robertson would be nice

KevIRL · 15-09-2014 6:25pm

hmmmmm, now considering Jelavic in for Ade, he should get 2 points minimum so am really only gambling 2 points by bringing him in.

Hackers · 15-09-2014 6:44pm

I'd go for it anyway, you'll be sick if he does bang in a couple!! Taking a chance every now and then is no harm at all, in this case risk is 2 points versus potential reward of 10+!!

Be warned though, I'm bottom of our pay league in this and there could be good reasons for that :-)

Ya Jelavic subbed in, potential 6 points for a goal sealed the deal.

Gamble fails ends up costing 2 points. Robertson ended up getting 2 points to cancel it out though so finished on 106 for the week

Dearg81 · 16-09-2014 9:54pm

Finished on 80 which was terrible considering I had costa as captain, Davies as my only player last night summed up my week with an OG. Had a look at next week and all my 7 outfield subs cost at least 8 million so expecting to bounce back in style.

I called that one right anyway, 69 points already with 7 big players left tomorrow. I had Welbeck as captain which helped.

KevIRL · 20-09-2014 10:19pm

Up to 32nd in the overall rankings after today, 3rd in Ireland

You're only 12 points off top spot for manager of the month too.

Yep, you have next week to make up those points. Worth going for with an adventurous captain pick next week

79 points after today. Should drop a fair bit in the overall rankings

Down to 51st from last nights 32nd. But overall a jump from 264th to 51st this gameweek

14 points and 38 places off the September number 1 spot though, gonna be very hard to close that out in 1 week

KevIRL · 21-09-2014 8:02pm

lol, just realised I only have 1 player in my squad not playing on MD1 next week. Thats Boyd of Burnley.

Nice sweat anyway. Assuming most your rivals will be captaining Costa, you leaning towards taking a punt on someone else, to try snatch the monthly prize?

manual_man · 26-09-2014 1:31am

that's good going Kev. i dropped from 179th to 308th thanks partly to a captain fail. Debuchy injury is a kick in the balls tho i'm not sure a loan would be worth my while. may consider it after this gw. Boyd Cabella Duff Wisdom Krul my matchday 2/3 options this gw

Not 100% tbh. The fact that there's 38 players to get past is probably more off putting in terms of taking a risk than the 14 points really.

I'd go for it, take a punt on Aguero as captain.
