[FPL] GW 5 - Matchday Thread

Brussels Sprout

23 minutes to deadline. I currently have Michu, Dyer and Rangel in my starting 11 but that leaves me really vunerable if Swansea don't perform versus Everton. Wondering whether to bring on Santi Cazorla instead of Dyer although he's away to Man City. Decisions decisions

Play Cazorla

I'd be starting Cazorla anyway. City have been leaking goals and Cazorla is likely to be involved in anything positive Arsenal produce.

I'm rolling with:

Jaaskelainen

McAuley - Rangel - Rafael

Hazard - Yaya - Cazorla - Michu - Maloney

RVP - Tevez

Bench: Begovic, Pogrebnyak, Distin, Jenkinson

I'm undecided on the armband.. have it on RVP at the moment.

Cazorla!

Everton playing well and 3 from 1 team is too much as you say, especially in the early game Saturday - really annoying if they don't perform and you have to put up with it for the rest of the weekend. Cliche - watch Dyer score now...


I've taken a big risk and drafted in Aguero, I realise he'll not get anywhere near 90, if he even starts, which is maybe doubtful too, but he could be a great differential in the coming weeks

keano_afc

No transfers this week.

Going with:

Foster

Demel Gibbs Rafael

Hazard (c) Cazorla Toure Michu

Pog RvP Tevez

Bench is Begovic, Clyne, Taylor and Cuellar.

I'm going with:

Jaask
Gibbs Clark Bertrand
Cazorla Michu Yaya Hazard (C)
Berbatov Tevez RVP (VC)

Subs: Begovic, Demel, Maloney, Cuellar

Necronomicon

Jaas
Perch Demel Figueroa
Michu Pienaar Yaya Hazard Santi
RVP Tevez(c)

Bench: Begovic, Rafael, Pogrebnyak, Jenkinson

All four defensive players have home fixtures, happy with that.

Why is Distin not starting? He had played every minute before today. I have him benched this week anyway but had him pencilled in for a start over the next few weeks.

Professional Griefer

No Dyer?

Have him Michu starting, but got Routledge on the bench.

qwabercd

10 of my starting team are at home today, 10 are away next week. Need to do something about that.

Jax Teller

Ashley Williams should be off there .

Definitely, Swansea got lucky there!

Devia

Already 3 saves from Vorm.

Lemlin

I'm surprised he's still starting. Two terrible mistakes that cost the team goals in his last two games.

He makes Titus Bramble look like Vidic at times.

Who_8_Paul?

Whatever about Williams, Chicos replacement Tate looks brutal in defence for Swansea, which is worrying given that I have Davies

Yeah I'm convinced it was Caulker & Chico making him look a better player than he is .

Jax Teller

Anchibe goal . Fellaini assist

Who_8_Paul?

The beast has scored. Swansea defence all over the place.

Chico looked erratic at times in the West Ham game. They may have kept 2 clean sheets initially but I think that Swansea defence needs quite a lot of work.

Devia

Unreal strength and bravery from Fellaini there.

Nice handball too :cool:

Kerrydude1981

To say Swansea arent at the races would be an under statement,Vorm's save points is all I can hope for if they keep defending like that

Wish someone would cut Fellaini's hair,that might bring the big man down a few inches

FatRat

Wow, Fellaini Completely passed it on with his arm, not head. Still though happy Everton are winning :pac: Not happy with my Swansea CS gone.

darego

miralles goal peinar assist

Paully D

Pienaar assist?

darego

really need something from michu with their CS gone

Fowler87

Nice one pienaar! Good job I benched Rangel :pac:

mossym

pienaar hasn't gotten the assist on the FF page. no assist given

SpaceCowb0y

He hasnt been given the assist on the FPL site?

BBC have no assist listed either.

dahat

Everton look really good attacking and seem to have plenty goals in them.
Going to get either Fellani or Pienaar for this weeks transfer,Kagawa will be the victim!!

Plenty more goals in this game...

FFS.... CS ruined for Vorm, Swansea looking pants in attack and Pienaar not even getting the assist!!! I hope this isnt a sign of things to come for this week! I need a big turn around after last weeks dismal score!

dahat

Highly unlikely to get the assit,Mirallis sort of assited himself...

Devia

Pienaar definitely crossed it in. Vorm saved the first shot by Mirallas though, don't know if that counts against the assist?

Fowler87

Just seen it there. Stone wall assist especially under fpl rules unless hitting crossbar isn't in rules

keano_afc

Ball came back into play off the bar from the original move, so no assist for Pienaar.

Paully D

Jesus Mirallas, why didn't you just finish it the first time? :pac:

acalmenvoy

Swans to come back, 2-2, Graham, Michu, (2 assists from Rangel).:eek:



*My gameweek's fcuked*

Jax Teller

Dyer coming on now for Hernandez

AFAIK once Pienaar played it into the box and it wasn't touched by any opposition player to clear it out of the box he should get the assist. For example, Sterling played in Suarez last week, he had a shot blocked and come back to him and scored and Sterling got the assist.

Thats what I was thinking.

Just because it wasn't given instantly doesn't mean it won't be reviewed and awared later. We'll have to wait and see. There is the argument that Mirallas assisted himself though.

Paully D

Michu should have scored there.

That's a bit of a fooker. I don't see what the difference is between the post and a defender.

Not a great day for dyer owners . Only gets 45 mins and already got a yellow

In fairness he's a real bandwagon player.

I said here two weeks ago that the wheels would come off the Swansea train when they drew 2-2 with Sunderland and people questioned it.

They had a great result against QPR followed by a game where West Ham gave them a 2 goal lead with two terrible errors, and where they were lucky to keep a clean sheet. Since then they've been poor.

I'm glad the only Swansea player I have is Michu.

Who_8_Paul?

Dyer off and Rangel booked. I have Davies who might get 1 point. At least none of the usual suspects are picking up points so far except the clean sheet for Baines, but against 10 men now that might not last...
