    It's back!!!!!! and no more annoying international breaks now until 2014......the games will be coming thick and fast from now on.

    could be a very high scoring week with a lot of the top teams playing against weaker lower opposition, chelsea play cardiff, arsenal play norwich, everton play hull, liverpool play newcastle and southampton play man united :D

    i seem to have a bit of an inbalance to my team because i have a lot of players at home this week, i struggled on who to becnh from my front 8 but eventually decided on moses, could be costly with him at newcastle but the rest all had good home fixtures (apart from suarez who is away but not a hope of benching him)

    I had a dream last nit Hull beat Everton 2-0.

    What a mare!

    After the last few weeks I have a healthy dose of fear, although as always a healthy dose of optimism mixed in.

    Great to have it back

    If captain Giroud can do the business, I'm confident I'll be top of most of my leagues by the end of the gameweek.

    18 point haul, Olivier, ye big ride!

    i'd take losing out on my coleman cs for lukaku having a quiet day. i'm fearful of the damage he could do, and a lot will have him captained. i don't have him at all.

    My team for the week:

    start Januzaj, or Eriksen?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 644 ✭✭✭Dice75


    RVP Doubtful - aaaaghh. My wildcard is active for another 50 mins & I'd decided to keep him.

    Rooney is in better form anyway. I'd go for him and save the dosh. Or... the Beast (Benteke) is back this weekend if you fancy yourself a differential


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,735 ✭✭✭Fowler87


    Hopefully a goal or 2 for Januzaj to celebrate his new contract

    Hmmm i wonder is that a good thing in terms of him scoring well today or not. Have him first sub atm, playing Eriksen (away to Villa) instead!

    That's my exact same starting 11 except I have Lukaku (C) for Suarez also have Giroud (V)!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    The drama in Prodston towers this morning is whether to bench Turner for the first time this season or not, his competition is Kos (or Hangeland :pac: not a chance :mad:).

    I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't :(


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    Have Remy, Suarez & Sturridge up front so hoping for a goalfest today. Still not sure on Suarez or Sturridge for captain though.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Latest on Ozil & Brady?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 28,710 ✭✭✭✭Paully D


    Good luck all!

    I'm hoping my 'four defenders from big teams' strategy will actually work today given Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester United and Manchester City have kind fixtures.

    In midfield I'm taking a punt on Januzaj (if nothing else I've made £0.2m on him), Ozil (hopefully he passes his fitness test this morning) and Silva.

    I've gone with captain Lukaku alongside Rooney and Sturridge.

    I found it very hard to pick a captain this week as there were so many good options to be honest.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,418 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Dawson or kolo t ?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    My last min dilemma is wether to play Brady or Coleman. Have Coleman on at the moment fearing a 1 pointer from Brady...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 760 ✭✭✭jtown


    Will Valencia start?

    I have the exact same if I bring in Mert. This is going to come down to a coin toss in the next 10 minutes. I have a vision of Mert getting a clean sheet + goal/assist, and Brady getting a 1 pointer.

    From Fantasy Football Scout, dated 18/10/2013:
    Robbie Brady could be set for a quick comeback from hernia surgery. The midfielder has returned to training and will be monitored ahead of the trip to Everton – if fit, he is expected to take the place of Stephen Quinn on the left flank for what is likely to be the Tigers’ only change

    Still unsure what to do...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    F**k it, Mertesacker in. 4 at the back, looking for clean sheets from all the big teams please. This team looks so strong on paper... cue a 30 point week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,267 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Just checked the league table for reassurance. S'hampton conceded 2 goals total in 7 games. Januzaj benched it is


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,605 ✭✭✭Fizman


    I haven't edited my team in 11 days. Opened it up last night for the first time since then and thought 'happy with that'. If only every GW was like that. :p

    Norwich with a shock 1-0 win today with Turner scoring and Kos ending up on the bench. That's 15 points if my calculations are correct....I have a serious problem
