GW 15 Match Day Thread

Melion

76 this week with Seb Larsson still to play
Captaining Rooney was a great decision now, i think i got the highest in the boards league this week, jumped about 30 places up to 21st.

Dempsey

Rooney was a great differential this week, captaining him when everyone was thinking RVP/Suarez was great move, in hindsight!

SlickRic

Smalling played exactly 60 getting his clean sheet.

it only slightly dulls the pain of Michu being on the bench, but still, a nice bit of luck.

dahat

29 points, FML,still 3 to play though :mad:

He'll only play once in the next two gameweeks, max.

Dempsey

Bringing in Mata?

1) He will be missing a GW soon with the WCC

2) Rafa Benitez

3) Rafa Benitez

etc

Ben Davies is my 4m bench warming defender . Last 3 games CS ....assist &bonus....CS..... I may play him next week . So they will concede 3 Swansea are going really well though in fairness. With no striker ! Love Michu

Thanks lads. I actually did ok, 54 with ba to play yet. Wished i had played williams but i left him on the bench...

irishfeen

61 points with hopefully a few BP to be added , Broke into the top 1000 in the boards.ie league for the first time after being stone dead last for ages.... delighted

Mr.Nice Guy

Fecking Suarez. I had to captain him, didn't I? :rolleyes:

I ended up with 51 points in spite of my captain scoring a whopping two points so I guess I should be pleased. Green arrows all round and I'm up inside the top 800 of the world but I'm raging at myself for not going with RVP. Aaargh.

Jimmy Iovine

Very good week. In 11,000th place overall now. Could well improve with the BPs. Think I'll fall back tomorrow though cause I've no one playing.

The biggest difference for me this season to last season is the amount of games/highlights I got to see. I'm well down, ~100k in the world vs. 6k last year

Adebayor was a major reason why I did well. I had him the minute he joined spurs, many couldnt take to him because of they way he performed, i'd agree, but he was the focal point of all their attacks for a long stretch of the season. If you logged in here, all you got was doubts about him, useless performances/it cant last type posts. Those posts, even if its many, dont impact your opinion if you are following the league closely and you know what you've seen and read.

Not blaming anyone but myself but alot of my mistakes is down to not seeing games/highlights for myself and putting too much weight on 2nd opinions alone. Also, I jumped out to a ridiculous lead in my private leagues/very good start overall, (GW8, 13k Overall and I started making some unspeakable arrogant choices in transfers and I've been hammered for it. Also captain choices for GW10 and onwards have given me a whooping 22 points total. A quite unbelievable run of epic fail! :pac:

thewools

37 with Baines and Michu on the bench!!! Grrrrr

Sessegnon and Ba left to play.. Would love it if sess gets injured in the warm up

Finally some green arrows! 58 pre-bonuses

I'm the complete opposite.

I haven't the time nor the tele to be watching anything other than United matches.

I saw MOTD last night for the first time all season but I tuned out after the United match.

I've seen almost none of my players playing. The only time I have seen some of them (Fellaini and Lambert) was against United.

I got to 4k last year. I'm 11k this year. I've read what lots of people have said here and then made my own choice.

I don't think you need to watch every second of every match to do well. Just be sensible and don't make any rash decisions.

Logged in this morning expecting to see a lot of red arrows after my Mate/Baines -> Azpilicueta/Bale transfer (at a 4 point hit) spectacularly exploded in my face.

Somehow on 52 points with a line of green arrows... And after BP's and Fletcher this could improve even more. I'm not questioning it so lets quickly move on to next week.

Do we think RVP has any chance of bonus points?

I didn't all of the game, but I'm sure Rooney will get all 3. Then there was 5 other goal scorers, so could be a bit of a toss up as to who gets them. I thought he generally played well, but of course that means nothing. 2 BPs would be great.

It's a bit sh*tty that Rooney is on penos! Would make RVP even more valuable if he was taking penos too.

2 bonus points would be fantastic and obviously that's all I was hoping for, in the circumstances I'd happily take 1.

Yeah, really need Fletcher to bag some points today to justify ditching Berbs for him. Need to finally get a transfer right...

Mignolet clean sheet gone already. :mad:

Jesus, I need Ba to get at least 2 tomorrow for me to get over 30 for the GW.

Wildcard initiated last night.....so it'll be a week of endless tinkering from me.

S.M.B.

Delighted with my decision to avoid Sunderland players this season.

Hopefully teams will have to deal with the unfortunate decision of how to shift out 2/3 Sunderland players over the coming weeks.

omniscient_toad

Jesus Sunderland, you're making it very hard to rationalise a short term Bale replacement from amidst your ranks .

Fowler87

Good man Johnson does something finally

extra gravy

Fletcher subbed due to ankle injury. I give up! :mad:

omniscient_toad

All right, balls to this, forget short term Sunderland replacements onto plan B, upgrade one of my defenders to improve things long-term and make a 4 man defence next week more palatable.
