GW26 Matchday Thread...

roryc

One of these three will score well this gameweek, and this choice will likely define whether or not you have a good week.



I've gone with Stevie G, don't let me down...

Fixtures are below, Spurs kick off the early game so for any of us that transferred out Bale for Gerrard we will get to instantly see how risky a move it was. Chelsea face Wigan at Home, City take on Southampton, and United replay what was a thrilling 4-4 draw last season with Everton at home. Could easily be a lot of 100+ scores this week if the big hitters perform.

In a fuzzle,temepted to play Sissoko over Fellani......

Crazy or a well founded move?

Two for the Money

Anyone think Mata will be rested today after playing for Spain in midweek?

POKERKING

I have all three plus Davies n micha and two nice free transfers for next week to get rid. I'm expecting a big week this week hopefully into top 500 in world.

Not a chance I'd say, every game is huge for Chelsea and their manager now.

I've brought in Torres in the hope he gets the nod ahead of Ba so praying he does!

I hope not but it is hard to know what Rafa will do.

Even if he gets the start, he still wouldn't hit a cows ass with a banjo!

Interesting strategy by Newcastle, cloning Marveaux so he is on the bench and starting.

Swiper the fox

The #THFC team today: Lloris, Walker, Dawson, Caulker, Naughton, Dembele, Parker, Lennon, Holtby, Dempsey & Bale


No Ade leaves me with egg on my face.

No Vert or BAE???

manual_man

i take it Marveaux hasn't been cloned and Gouffran is there somewhere

who's up front though? at a guess i'd say Dempsey

callaway92

Lots of these please

Swiper the fox

Dempsey for sure, Holtby and Bale could be interchangable.

S.M.B.

My guess is that they'll try a few different options throughout the game. Mix it up a bit. But yeah, Dempsey will probably start up front but Bale should get some time there.

Rayne Wooney

Bale smashing free kick

Mr.Prodston

Goal Bale! All aboard the Bale outscoring Gerrard train Choo Choo

Who_8_Paul?

Go on Bale! Kick in the teeth for those that took him out this week

Rayne Wooney

Camera angle at this match is really headache inducing

thewools

Love bale...

machiavellianme

Excellent. Glad I kept him and didnt cave and take the hit for Stevie. Now G would have to score at least 13 just for me to have broken even.

manual_man

Ah jayses Bale, come on now calm down

a bit of this would be nice aswell

Sorry that didnt copy really need to get up to speed with this 21st century technology.
Ah well it was a pic of rvp sitting on the bench.

Mr.Prodston

Holtby is playing well here, looks like a great player but at 7.5 he's kind of in no man's land unless you swap with Fellaini.

Mr.Prodston

Goufrann goal. Dawson clean sheet is gone and it deflected off him but won't be an OG.

Professional Griefer

Knew it was a good idea to bring Sissoko in.

Tits, turns out it was Cisse with the assist.

Edit again, seems it was Sissoko, thought as much, FPL site has it as Cisse.

manual_man

Sissoko with the assist was it

Mr.Prodston

Sissoko assist. That has copper-fastened my decision to bring him in for next GW even if De Guzman goes nuts.

I have Dawson atm but with all this rotation it doesn't make for a steady defense and with the Europa back it may be time to back away slowly from my Dawson.

Lemlin

Newcastle scoring means Bale is just going to have to score 2 to rescue Spurs this week.

atleast hes only 4.5 but with gallas now fit and kaboul about to start training that will give avb 5 fit centre backs

Santi101

Spurs have looked pretty poor I think. Hope Newcastle get something here.

how is cisse playing was thinking of getting him in next wk

Santi101

Cisse is doing OK, had a great chance with a header that he probably should have scored or at least hit the target. Spurs dont look particularly strong at the back and lack any strikers. It's all on Bale for them these days.

SpaceCowb0y

Really need Michu and Gerrard to come up with the goods now seeing as Bale continues his run of good form! Also really need to figure out how to bring Sissoko into my team beofre he rises in price too much!

Michu out, Sissoko in anyone??

Santi101

Anyone else hate Spurs? I despise them.

Just putting that out there......

That's looking like a popular transfer given Michu's poor returns of late. I'm still reluctant to part with the Spaniard as I know he can turn on the style at any moment and go on a great run like December for example. I'm thinking of using a 3-5-2 formation to get Siss in.

S.M.B.

I'll probably do the Michu -> Sissoko move. Cash is starting to no longer be an issue for me.

It would cost me an extra 1 million to buy him back at a later date. I think he could possibly fall .2/.3 over the next week given his form/no fixture.

I could probably gather together .7 million to get him back in should the move prove to be a disaster.

SpaceCowb0y

Haha good work, so im clearly not alone! I brought in Anichebe for Ba last week so it will be Gerrard and Michu out for Bale and Sissoko this week by the looks of it!

I think this is a very important point. Money is no longer an issue for most on here, its not like other years its very easy to have a lot of the top players. Its the reason I got rid of rvp short term. Its the time of the season to put potential points over team value imo.

Mr.Prodston

Gouffran gone off injured on a stretcher.

Mr.Prodston

Not all that relevant but apparently Craig Gordon is on trial with Dumbarton :eek:

Santi101

Bale twisted his ankle there.
