    Time for the deciding point of the season for alot of teams i think.........

    I have commited FF suicide and benched RVP with Suarez as captain

    3-5-2...

    Vorm
    Simpson--Kompany--Huth
    Pineaar-Dempsey-Siggy-Bale-Barfa
    Cisse--Suarez

    Evans-RVP-BAE on the bench

    Quite likely i will switch to CIsse for captain before deadline i reckon

    I got up too early, giving me 4 hours to change my captain choice. I prefer waking up at 11:31 and just having it done... :(

    I just can't decide how many goals will be in the Manc derby it could be a feast or a famine

    I'm OK with that. It's that 11:30 deadline that kills me. After that, my brain shuts down for at least 48 hours to replenish so literally anything could happen and I wouldn't care.

    Then come Monday/Tuesday, it turns back on and I start randomly shouting at the FF page, regardless of results.

    Had to play Kompany as he was at home but i reckon there wont be many goals in this,Utd will keep it tight as long as we can.

    Dempsey
    Registered Users Posts: 20,553 ✭✭✭✭Dempsey


    Settled for (4 point hit taken)

    Krul
    Simpson, Caulker, Vermaelen
    Sigurdsson, Bale, Pienaar, Dempsey
    Cisse, Jelavic (c), Tevez

    Subs:- Vorm, Sessegnon, Kompany, Evans

    Howard
    Hibbert Jags Shawcross Enrique
    Maxi Silva VDV The Sigmeister
    Aguero Ade(c)

    Subs: Bogdan Albrighton RVP Kompany

    Friedel
    Simpson
    Jagielka
    Warnock
    Vdv
    Siggy
    Dempsey
    Ben Arfa
    Van Persie----Cisse (C)----Jelavic (Vc)

    Not a bad team I think, took an 8 point hit to ship out BAE, Walcott and Aguero. I have a 50 point lead in my private league so a good week this week and it's all over I think

    You must be a Man United fan to take a 4 point hit to get rid of Aguero!

    EDIT

    Gareth Bale admits he will consider his future at Tottenham if they fail to qualify for next season's Champions League.

    Could be time to punt Bale!

    Yeah ha, I don't think he will score though and I needed to get in Jelevic. I just hope Rvp does something to repay my faith in him

    Just looking at the top of the Boards league. Looks like it is indeed an Everton -v- Newcastle scenario.

    Not many have a defender/mid/striker from each team. It's generally Cisse OR Jelavic, Pienaar OR Ben Arfa, Simpson OR Hibbert/Jags.

    If it wasn't for injuries forcing emergency transfers, I would have added one of the Newcastle lads. Probably glad I didn't have to choose which.

    I've 3 Newcastle players and 2 Everton attackers and captained an Everton player

    Gameweek Rank probably end up in the 2,000,000 range!

    That is funny. But on a serious note, Stoke were without Huth, and Shawcross went off early in the first half in that match, you can't really judge a teams defensive performance without their 2 first choice centre halves

    Fulham will be without Martin Jol today. Has a chest infection, apparently.

    Let's hope for another chaotic away performance!
