Took an 8 point hit already (injuries and suspensions all over team) and am considering selling lambert for kone or fellaini for rosicky. Worrying about a big arsenal win today and my main rival has santi.
What does anyone think?

I'd log out now till 1131

Rosicky ? He hasn't played much this year. I'd definitely not do this one. He won't necessarily cover for Santo too.
The Lambert to Kone one is debatable though. Depends what your rivals have upfront. Could be a differential for you...

Lads, do we all agree that Robles is a better option than DDG ?

Ha ha, probably the best advice of the week

prettyboy81

I'm top of me mates money league by 30pts & all the top 5 below me have Bale who i'd imagine they will Captain...so even with Silva, Aguero & Lukaku going to play it safe Captain Bale myself.

My 8 DGW players;

Robles, Davies, Kompany, Silva, Bale, Maloney, Lukaku & Aguero. With a minus 4pt hit.

El festino

Is it crazy not having city cover? I have Rvp that I could ship out to give me money to change things but I really can't decide if its worth getting rid!

Well the potential is there to miss out on some big points given their fixtures. If you wanna extract crazy from that go for it.

I think I'll just bank the transfer. Everyone around me taking a minimum of 4 point hits and I'll still have 2-3 dgw players more and a double free transfer next week.

Need Chelsea defenders to not go goal crazy. I fear Luiz.

Well with Bale you have a HUGE advantage over him. Hazard will probably be rested at least for today's game after his knock in EL.
Not sure you need to gamble on an extra hit for Koné then.

Double down on Bale and make him captain.

FutureGuy

Urgh. Decided to disregard my own advice. Brought in Luiz. 11 dgw players.

Lol. Watch it fail miserably.

G1032

Can't believe I benched RVP. Well it's fine new anyway. Michu to draw two blanks and RVP will fire a hat-trick

SlickRic

RVP is a differential this week.

and quite significantly looking at my leagues.

afraid of Luiz, as well as Aguero & Tevez.

irish son

Ended up benching Walcott this week, I really hope I don't regret it.

Team:
Roubles
Sagna Zab Luiz
Maloney Mata Bale(C) Michu
Aguero Defoe Benteke

Players I fear this week ......Mata Hazard Aguero Tevez !

One player I wouldn't of benched. I would have played Walcott over Benteke, or even Maloney or Michu.

Could work out for you but Arsenal are a side who can rout teams (ask Newcastle or West Ham) and them against QPR has the potential to be a goalfest.

And 13 minutes later, its still being updated.



7 dgw players for me. 8 if Al-Habsi plays.

Mr.Prodston

I stayed away from here on purpose just in case I made the Baines to Luiz transfer after already taking a 12 point hit. I hope I don't regret it :eek:

I did however come very close to making Kone my captain over Bale, the sheer anxiety I had while I swapped it for 2 minutes was crippling enough let alone 180 minutes of it. I triple checked Bale was back where he belonged :pac: I swear this game really messes with your head.

Hogey007

very similar team to a person i'm 6 points behind for €100,

was hoping for better news when i looked at his team but on paper he has the advantage

differences

me...................him
Hart (DG)..........Jussi
Sagna...............O'Brien
Mata (DG).........Silva (DG)
RVP..................Lukaku (DG)

i really need newcastle to score but wouldn't bank on it, Mata silva could go either way but i'm relying on silva being rested, if he plays both against such poor opposition he could run riot, and i think Lukaku definetley has the upper hand over RVP this week.

Hogey007

just while i'm watching the Hull match here, I hope you are all getting set to welcome Paul McShane back to your teams next season

Kinder Bueno

My team for the day

Jaask
Davies Baines Zabaleta
Michu Bale(c) Mata Walcott
Lukaku Tevez Banteke

Happy enough with that team.

I woke up this morning feeling really fatalistic. I feel almost certain my 12 pint hit to get Bale, Hazard, Kone and Tevez is going to backfire. I did it midweek before Hazard got that niggle, and I have no faith in tevez to do the business either. Bale obviously was a no brainer but Kone may have just been lavish. This is the week that ill break me, after playing so conservatively all year, rarely if ever taking any points hit to get in players. It has worked too, I'm 2nd in my league , but that's what led me to the decision to go mad with transfers...

Yeah I know it wasn't the logical choice but it would have felt wrong benching Benteke the week after scoring a hatrick. Anyway hopefully if works out.

they're all players who could score very highly though, it's not like you took the hit bringing in players like davies or dawson. i wouldn't be too concerned about the hazard niggle, if he doesn't start tomorrow he'll come on as a sub and should then be a guaranteed starter v spurs which is probably the better of the 2 for him to start anyway, might even start both. Kone could have a huge haul, the same with tevez, he plays 2 very poor teams, similar to hazard he may start one and be a sub in the other but say 110, 120 mins against such weak opposition could see him score a couple of get a couple of assists, the bale one in itself could cover the 12 point loss so while an 8 point hit might have been safer, you could be very thankful you took the 12 point hit around 10 o clock wednesday night.

Cantona's Collars

4 point hit & 8 dgw players in my team,hope it doesn't go to shite like the last dgw did.
Looking at other teams it seems my nearest rivals have made some baffling transfers & line up decisions this week,it's as if they didn't even look at the fixtures.Here's hoping their mistakes mean that I sew up a couple of leagues this week.

C'mon Gareth Bale!!!

Tbh I'd see you as having the advantage. I'd take Mata over Silva, Hart over Jussi and Sagna over O'Brien.

Lukaku over RVP is debatable as well.

i hope you're right

going to be one of the most eagerly awaited team news of the season in about 30 minutes, especially from the city game, a lot of people have aguero, silva, tevez, toure, zab, nastasic. watch dzeko come along and have a few people cursing him.
