yeah.. have Austin benched atm due to QPR being so crap away from home but at the same time i'm not comfortable havin him there with the form he's in

Austin is more likely to do something in a bad fixture than Siggy is in a good fixture Imo.

Good decision. I always go form over fixtures. Austin had the ball in the net three times against Chelsea away but just one goal awarded.

Always a possibility.

Neil Warnock's record as a Premier League boss:

Games 76. Won 17. Drawn 19. Lost 40. Win % - 22.4%. Points - 70/228

Surely that's the last PL job he'll get. Would be good if Palace got a decent manager in this time which would make their defenders viable options again.

MagicIRL · 27-12-2014 1:47pm

Brought Austin in as soon as Warnock was sacked. With QPR at home, Austin in form, and Crystal Palace being the not-Tony Pulis Crystal Palace, I reckon it's 6 points at least.

I always said he was a terrible appointment. Got relegated as a manager before and tried to blame Carlos Tevez when all his team had to do was beat Wigan at home.

Scorpion Sting · 27-12-2014 4:36pm

When I heard that Pulis left and Warnock was a candidate for the job I immediately took Palace at 13/8 to get relegated. Warnock is a Championship level manager at best, just doesn't seem to get the best out of any of his players. I'm hoping they convince Iain Dowie to take up the reins now! He was interviewed for the role last year when Holloway got sacked so there is some hope. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2506928/Iain-Dowie-holds-talks-Crystal-Palace-return.html

On a terrible run. Cannot wait for this wildcard. Whole season hangs on getting it right

Discovered something gvery interesting last game week..

A bunch of us split the season in Two for mini league purposes.

1 -17
18 - 38

Now when 17 ended a player took a -32 bit when the new league started on gw18 the hit wasn't accounted for in his score. Highly unfair but clever of him as well

Hardly unfair when it was an option open to everyone.
As you say though, was clever.

Dempsey · 27-12-2014 11:31pm

Surely he couldnt have been doing well if he needed to do a -32 hit

Not too bad really, didn't think he needed it really.

I found it surprising when browsing the Ireland rankings on FPL that only one (4th place) of the top 20 appears to be in any sort of Boards.ie league. Admittedly, it was just a quick glance moreso than anything else but as I said, I found it surprising.

With the way the forum is performing of late, I'm sure it won't be long before word spreads and players who post on the likes of FF Scout and similar start contributing here in addition.

How do you lads think that would impact on this forum as a whole?

Everything depends on Yaya's fitness.

And might be worth shipping Bony out too if you're not planning on using your wildcard early.

lads I can't wait for the January Wildcard!

Mr.Prodston · 29-12-2014 12:39am

Jason Puncheon has to be back on the radar now. Lets see who comes in but an old favourite might get a new lease of life now

With Boyd performing regardless of fixture I can't see Puncheon in my team.

Was he played out of position all time this season? His stats are not great tbh.

Emphasis on the "radar"

He has had great returns the past few seasons, I'd ignore this season so far as himself and Warnock didn't see eye to eye and more importantly played sporadically. If something were to happen Siggy or Downing I'd be talking 4th mid. Seemed to have a lot of action on MOTD.

wonski · 29-12-2014 1:22am

He started well with a goal and 3 assists in 5 games ( Arsenal, Newcastle and Everton among teams he scored against).

2 yellow cards and 6 goals conceded in last 3 though.

Looking at his history he played a lot - 10 full games and 1215 minutes total (including 2 games with 0-2 minutes. Full time player really.
