That was a quick week. Off we go again. Good luck all

Lemlin · 23-08-2014 7:10am

I line up as follows:

Begovic
Caulker Coloccini Terry
Fabregas Ramsey Siggy Sterling
Costa Rooney Fletcher
Subs: Hamer, Van Aanholt, Moore, Isgrove.

Have been changing Caulker and Van Asnholt around all week but think I'll go with Caulker due to his goal threat, particularly as he's against his former club.

kennyb3 · 23-08-2014 7:16am

Twins sick, up half the night, sick myself, can only spell a disaster for the weekend too. Hopefully might surprise me and cheer me up! Best of luck to everyone.

Definitely go with Caulker. I sold him so he's bound to score :-)

Menas · 23-08-2014 8:24am

I will be having a media blackout day and will watch MOTD tonight in blissful ignorance of how the day went.
Good luck to all!

Iused2likebusts · 23-08-2014 8:30am

Begovic
Hutton colloccini chambers
hazard fab sterling siggy ramsey
Costa (c) Rooney

Fletcher van aanholt Dunne

Only doubt is chambers or van aanholt may reverse this.

Im all in on the chelsea attack and would love a 0 0 between villa and newcastle.

FutureGuy · 23-08-2014 8:33am

Begovic
Clyne - Ivanovic - Debuchy
Mata - Sigurdsson - Ramsey -Fabregas
Costa - Fletcher - Rooney

Have more or less identical defenders to you (Cahill rather than Terry) but have gone for Van Aanholt and benched Caulker. Just feel there's a possibility of a clean sheet there and more chance of involvement in a goal.

In fact our teams are very similar. I have Eriksen, Mata and Jovetic to your Ramsey, Sterling and Fletcher.

23-08-2014 9:04am

De gea
Terry van aanholt Wilson
Fab Siggy Ramsey He who shall not be named
Rooney Costa Fletcher

If Wilson doesn't play I'll have caulker to come in.

km79 · 23-08-2014 9:40am

terry Chester and then 1 from caulker, Hutton or chambers? but which one?

Replace wilson with Pieters of stoke and thats my team exactly.

Excellent! Hope you have a great GW!

2 of Naismith, Sterling and Dzeko is my dilemma.

Naismith benched at the minute.

Sterling and Dzeko for me.

Mr. Guappa · 23-08-2014 10:23am

De Gea
Terry, Hutton, van Aanholt
Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Eriksen, Fabregas, Hazard (C)
Rooney, Dzeko

Pieters first sub.
Transfer was Fabregas for Mata.

Exact same starting eleven , with the same predicament.

Bench - Aanholt , baird , waymana

I'm going to leave Caulker in for the goal threat. He's .5 mil dearer so might as well try to get some value for my money!

Mr.Prodston · 23-08-2014 10:48am

Looks like I'll be lining up as follows:

De Gea
Bardsley - Clyne - Collocini
M**a - Fabregas - Ramsey - Siggy
Rooney - Austin - Costa (c)

Subs: Van Aanholt, Caulker, Marney

I can easily see a defender with a big score on the bench though.

I have the same predicament in that I'm undecided between Fletcher and Caulker. Caulker could very easily get the goal but then again Fletcher is a striker. Fletcher seemed pretty average last week. What to do?

zarquon · 23-08-2014 10:56am

I'm surprised to see van aanholt in so many lineups. I think people have gone full swing and are now massively underrating Man United

I'd field Fletcher. United were shaky at the back last weekend and are badly in need of a central midfielder.

Cleverly is expected to play tomorrow. Doesn't matter how good a defence you have now if they don't have a decent protection in midfield and players who can hold the ball and retain possession.

I think people are expecting attacking returns rather than defensive returns.

United are still missing seven players according to van Gaal. Last week they fielded a lad who wasn't a success on loan in the Championship last season.

I expect United to score a max of 2 against Sunderland. That said, I am benching van Aanholt and playing Caulker, Coloccini and Terry.

Necronomicon · 23-08-2014 11:02am

De Gea
Debuchy-van Aanholt-Clyne
Siggy-Fabregas-Eriksen-Mata-Ramsey
Rooney-Costa(c)

That's how I line up. Unfortunately I start at -8 so really have to hit the ground running.

Kerrydude1981 · 23-08-2014 11:06am

Which one to play Lovern or Cameron lads?

Cameron didn't play at all last week, so has to be Lovren

shano_88 · 23-08-2014 11:20am

De Gea
Taylor Hutton Terry
Ramsey Mata Fabregas Siggurdson
Bojan Costa Rooney

Subs: Pieters, Debuchy, Albrighton

Not sure whether to start Pieters or Taylor. It would definetly be Taylor If i knew he was starting. Talking the chance that he will start anyway.

Copper_pipe · 23-08-2014 11:25am

5 minute warning!

Mint Sauce · 23-08-2014 11:30am
