Gameweek 21 Match Day Thread

FutureGuy

Need Mata and Suarez to run riot tomorrow. They both have the fixtures. Will probably jinx myself but IF they do and Walcott/Cazorla get a few more, might be pushing 100.

Of course I won't but I will use the power of positive thinking lol.

Santi subbed, and out of my team too

Mr.Nice Guy

Went with Suarez over RVP as captain. Now I'm a tad concerned. :pac:

Ditto. My Mata to Cazorla switch for the last two gameweeks was a big failure.

Time to load up my team with players who are going up in value and play my wildcard.

Puncheon still really threatening the Arsenal goal.

He's a far bigger goal threat than Sterling IMO.

He doesn't deserve any, he was sh1t like the rest of the arsenal team.

Great return from Walcott. Considering the amount of people went with him over RVP as captain, I was happy that he gave a points return but a minimal one.

I considered making him captain all morning but whenever I've expected Arsenal to hammer a team in the past, against Norwich for example, they haven't delivered so I decided against it.

Walcott is exactly like Bale for me. A player who will score great hauls but who I can't see being consistent.

Disaster captaining Walcott over RVP. Need big games from my last few lads tomorrow.

FutureGuy

That'll do nicely I guess. Enough for Walcott for those who own him but plenty for those who captained RVP over him.

57 which should push to 67ish with bonus. Mata, Suarez and Azpeuticila (sic) to play.

However, there is talk RVP will lose his assist so that could be a big swing.

Bad bad week, 38 points. Torres and Fletcher to play tomorrow but I'm not expecting much. If Ba, Mata or Suarez run riot (again) it will only compound my misery.

I doubt anyone can say for sure what he'll get, but at least 1 is guaranteed.

He didn't play all that bad and that cross showed great mentality, but that's just a personal opinion.

I think Wenger subbing out Podolski so early and putting in Gervinho was a mistake. Gervinho was obviously trying to impress instead of playing team ball. Completely selfish ball hog.

Sagna was the worst liability and I solely blame him for Arsenal giving up a goal, could've been two because of him.

Got captain choice wrong but cant complain overall. 61 with Mata and sterling to play

Lemlin

42 points with Mata, Suarez, Cuellar and Torres left to play.

KevIRL

45 with Baines, Nelsen, Pienaar and Suarez to play.

WC activated

Dietsquirt

47 pts with Luiz, Cahill, Mata & Suarez to play

Bonus predictions courtesy of the BAP CHAP on FFS...

Kacaniklic 3, Ruiz 2, Berbatov 1 (in the mix Hughes, Hangeland)
Weimann 3, Routledge 2, Benteke 1
Dawson 3, Adebayor 2, Pogrebnyak 1 (in the mix Naughton, Dempsey)
O’Brien 3, Noble 2, Reid 1 (in the mix Martin)
Van Persie 3, Hernandez 2, Evra 1 (in the mix Evans) (RVP 2 if he loses his assist)
Zabaleta 3, Aguero 2, Milner 1
Ramirez 3, Vermaelen 2, Puncheon 1 (in the mix Walcott) (very tight behind Ramirez)
Benteke, Aguero and Noble less than maybe expected due to theory that penalty ppi is less than goal ppi, e.g Berbatov v Lambert in gw19.

How likely is Rvp to lose his assist?

I'd be shocked if he does tbh, why would he lose it? Players get assists after the keeper saves a shot and someone gets the rebound, so it would make no sense if RvP lost his for what is a much smaller deflection.

eh i dunno

54 with Skrtel and Cuellar to play. Hope its 0-0 tomorrow. Im guessing its a high scoring week?

AdpRo

Shocker but sort of expected it. 24 with Cuellar, Azpilicueta, Mata, Ba, Suarez (C) left, need Suarez and Ba to repeat last gameweek!

prettyboy81

51pts with Fellani, Suarez & Sterling today plus bonus pts hopefully for RVP, Benteke, Silva & Walcott.

I can't understand why people don't expect Walcott to be awarded the goal as he took the free kick and if no one touched it, it would have been a goal.
Is that not the rule? He has a shot on target and it is deflected beyond the keeper by a defender, should be a Walcott goal.

Was clearly not a shot

From FPL website:

Bonus points will be awarded on the Monday morning after the weekend matches are played. Any matches played on a weekday night will be awarded on the following morning.

Should get our BP's late tonight then like any weeknight right? No sign of them yet....

honeybear

Wonder, can anyone beat 11 from 4?

Lemlin

Bonus points are up.

1. It was a cross. 2. If the defender didn't touch it, Koscielny would most likely have scored. 3. Had Koscielny also missed it, the keeper collects it easily.

Under no circumstances would it make sense to award the goal to Walcott.
