Start Yoshida away to Fulham or Brown away to Newcastle? Had it in Yoshida but Fulham signing a new prolific striker has spooked me!

I wonder was he registered in time to be included for this weekend though? I'm going with Luke Shaw so hopefully not!

According to FFScout's team news "Fulham's big deadline day signing, striker Kostas Mitroglou, set to be ruled out after missing the registration deadline for the weekend clash."

Would it be madness to play Noone at home to Norwich ahead of Hazard away to City? Assuming Jose parks the bus there may not be much in the way of attacking points for Chelsea men....

Iused2likebusts · 01-02-2014 12:46am

Joe ledley signed for palace that will probably see ward moved back to RB and marriapa lose his place.

If I did do this 9 of my starting 11 would be wearing red this week. Reason enough right there!

Mr.Prodston · 01-02-2014 1:41am

If Holtby and Mitroglou had teamed up at somebody else rather than Fulham I may be a lot more excited. All the same in a few weeks Mitroglou could become a hero. If only it was Newcastle or somebody like that who signed him he could be gold.

A bit of team value sleuthing has me believe that he brought in Mata for Silva on Tuesday night. If so that'll make it 7 differentials for each team, anyone's game! Also means I know his starting 11 as he has 3 outfield injuries and a sub keeper. One of his outfielders only came on for 3mins the other night so hopefully he doesn't start again this weekend.

Of course I may have it wrong and he transferred out one of his injuries but I just can't see which one.

I can now see that he's made another transfer, looks like Aguero -> Sturridge for -4.

Been trying to talk myself out of making the same change for defensive reasons

FHFC · 01-02-2014 12:34pm

Good luck today! !

Final time....the other Irish guy ranked in top 1K got knocked out in the other semi so it's me versus an American....

Ok thanks everybody for indulging in my commentary of this!

Teams are out, I got his 2 transfers spot on so no surprises. Differentials to look out for:

HIM:

Boruc
Azpilicueta
Koscielny
Gabbidon
A Johnson
Adebayor
Sturridge

ME:

Mignolet
Sagna
Mertesacker
Kolarov
Januzaj
Lallana
J Rodriguez

So whichever of these groupings scores more, wins!

I notice Gabbidon is yellow flagged so hopefully he doesn't start as he has no defensive subs. Also he's -4 from a transfer hit. However I'm relying on Arsenal to keep a clean sheet and the Southampton boys to do something away from home, and have Januzaj as a doubt to start. Adebayor v Hull and Sturridge v WBA scare me the most.

Anyway I'm off to Donegal so won't be online again until tomorrow. Hopefully the Southampton and United lads for me do something by then!

Best of luck 8-10 we're all rooting for you in this

Danger781 · 01-02-2014 2:29pm

Who comes on for you in Januzaj doesn't play? Ashley Young played very well last time out.. Januzaj might only get a few minutes on the field, or none at all

Good luck!!

Totally agree. Would be great to see a forum member win it.

Kim Kallstrom supposedly out for 2-3 months.

How did Arsenal loan a player thats out 2-3 months?

If it happened since they got him, how was that diagnosis done so quick?

Oh I hope that's true...

Yet to be confirmed though, and sees to have originated on that dodgy website.

Mariappa is my only sub that can play as I already have Aguero and McNaughton with 0 mins as well as januzaj. So I need him to play or else I'll just have 10.

Liverpool and Arsenal clean sheet sets me up well. Sturridge goals might kill me off.

Danger781 · 02-02-2014 3:33pm

Sturridge scored and Mariappa didn't play, leaving me with 10 players.

Down to the wire now. I'm on 45, he has 46. I have Kolarov, he has Azpilicueta.

roryc · 02-02-2014 8:19pm

Close! I imagine both will concede. What will happen if its 2-1 Chelsea and you both end on 48? Assume it goes down to goals scored or something.

Highest rank overall actually, in which case I win. I assume that's the easiest way they have of doing tiebreaks.

8-10 · 03-02-2014 1:49pm

Man City's fixtures after tonight:

Norwich (A)
Sunderland (H)
Stoke (H)
BLANK GW
A Villa (H)
Hull (A)
Fulham (H), Man U (A) double gw

I'm thinking of sticking with my 3 City players until the blank, subbing 1 out and benching 2 that week, then 1 back in for Villa. I don't want any less than 3 City players for any of those GW's bar the blank.

Both players start anyway! Teams look defensive so I wouldn't be surprised at 0-0 and actually am backing a Chelsea 1-0 win which would of course lose me the matchup.

Has been a fun ride either way but fingers crossed Kolarov can do the business! Will know in a few hours anyway!

Iused2likebusts · 03-02-2014 8:46pm

best of luck 2 1 city with a kolarov assist.

So far all he's done is getting booked and conceding! Doesn't look likely at all now, he can only get me enough points by assisting or scoring. I really missed a trick not taking a hit to get in Sturridge. I knew that was my opponent's move and I would have gotten an extra 5 points from it. In the end it was a toss of a coin that told me not to make the transfer!

I'm sure you've other things on your mind at present, but I think you should factor the non PL schedule into that.
Barca twice and a Cup Final may throw up extra rotation risk.

Least I got this right! Haha oh well, rollercoaster of a last GW but that's how they fall.
