GW11 - Matchday Thread

Mr.Nice Guy

So how is everybody shaping up for this weekend?

I'm happy enough with my team but facing a last minute selection dilemma. I need to leave out one of the following:

Paulinho vs Newcastle (H)
Ramsey vs Man. Utd (A)
Coleman vs Palace (A)

I am leaning towards leaving Ramsey out as I figure his scoring run has to end some time. Any thoughts?

And do people reckon this will be a high scoring week in the game?

No offence and even though I don't have him, its ridiculous to even consider benching Ramsey with the form hes in. At this moment the lad is the top midfielder in the PL this year simple as. So out of those options Id bench Coleman.

wonski

Mignolet or Boruc? That is the question... Leaning towards Mignolet this time. Let me do this wrong once again...

Lemlin

Here's how I line up;

HighClass

Boruc
Zabaleta Mertesacker Baker
Oscar Ramsey Yaya Brady
Suarez Aguero Rodriguez

That's the team for this week. Still not sure who I'm going to captain. Have it on Aguero now but might switch to Suarez.

Iused2likebusts

arnie or clyne?

No early game. Boooooo

Paulinho …not exactly in a free scoring side - spurs have not hit double digits for goals scored for in the premiership - they have been given 3 penalties so far in 10 games -ALSO you never know what Newcastle will turn up.

Ramsey - in the form of his life - granted against a team with reputation but …sitting in mid table - ramsey could have a quiet game but will be a guaranteed starter and minimum 60mins.

Coleman …against Palace - one of the teams in the premier league who are consistent in their conceding goals from attacking sides….depending on your team I would nearly consider captaining Coleman (while its not guaranteed …its almost certainly a clean sheet and bonus points for attacking )

G1032

Suarez captain. I've no Ramsey. Let's see how it goes

You might be proved right but this is a bold statement to make about someone who's gone 14 hours without attacking bonus points. In saying that he'd be the first player I'd put in from that three.


If Ramsey scores tomorrow I may consider bringing him in, maybe, but I'll probably talk myself out of it:o:p

My lineup this week:

Mignolet
Zabaleta Fonte Terry Coleman
Oscar Ramsey Ozil
Suarez (c) Aguero Lukaku (v)

Subs: Boruc Barkley Januzaj Rosenoir

Almost certainly? CP are 6/5 to score no goals so maybe you should put some cash down!

kilburn

had my team picked was going to go 5-2-3, as i reckon all my defenders bar VIdic should get a clean sheet but now not so sure

Boruc
Zab Vidic Clyne Terry Dawson
Oscar Ozil
Suarez Aguero Benteke

Subs
Barkley Morrison Juanzaj

Thinking maybe bring Barkley in for Vidic surely Barkley will do well against Palace and switch to 4-3-3

I would say Barkley be on de bench though.

I'll be happy if Barkley starts. Had to take a 4 point hit to bring Silva and and then take him out for Nasri. This week will be a success if I stay where I am. Will need to take a points hit again next week, team has been destroyed by injuries.

A Southampton clean sheet would be huge, I've doubled up on Fonte & Shaw...

Good luck all

Mr. Guappa

Made the Michu -> Oscar transfer earlier in the week so just had to decide on Captain and Mignolet/Boruc in goals. Went with Suarez captain and Mignolet in goals, as I have Clyne for Southampton defensive cover.

Mignolet
Terry - Dawson - Coleman - Clyne
Oscar - Ramsey - Ozil
Lukaku - Aguero - Suarez (C)

Subs: Boruc; Ward-Prowse - Brady - Chester

Could really do with Chester returning and Brady being 100% after the international break, with Spurs and Southampton fixtures toughening I will need the extra options.

FutureGuy

Brought in Oscar for Michu. Probably the safer option ahead of Nasri and Hazard.

Mignolet
Terry - Lovren - Dawson
Ozil - Ramsey - Oscar - Ravel
Aguero - Lukaku - Suarez (c)

Am expecting most of my returns from defense and strikers. Any points from midfield is a bonus.

Good luck all!

qwabercd

Boruc

Terry Dawson Coleman

Ravel Ozil Lallana Ramsey

Aguero Rooney Suarez (c)

Fairly standard team. Would be happy if either ravel or lallana could grab a goal for me. I think a lot of us are expecting clean sheet points this week but there could be a few let downs.

Besta luck t'yall!

Coleman--Lovren--Nastasic--Terry

Suárez--Lukaku--Agüero ----
Boruc--Brady--Whittaker--Morrison

Ozil, Yaya, Giroud and Sturridge out,
Ramsey, Nasri, Aguero and Suarez in.
Had two free transfers so it was an 8pt hit.

Really praying my 8point hit gets me back in the mix on my private league.
Was top for a few weeks but dropped to second, want to regain the top spot!

Paully D

Think I've made a big mistake in going for Hazard over Oscar with my transfer for Silva, especially as I think Mourinho may leave him on the bench today, but being honest I was in a rush and never thought of it. Oops!

Anyway, Suarez (C), Aguero and Hazard (hopefully) will be expected to gain the bulk of my points this week. I'm hoping for clean sheets from Mignolet, Terry and Clyne.

I'll be struggling to field a proper team with Nastastic doubtful and Brady very doubtful so I'm not expecting a lot this week to be honest, if I beat the average I'll be happy.

Good luck

Teams are starting to look very similar. We basically have 8 of the same first 11 with the same captain. I crossed out Lovren even though I have Fonte, they should score the same. So it's Oscar/Ramsey/Dawsen vs Shaw/Barkley/Nasri. You are definitely in a better position! My hope rests in Barkley starting, Nasri performing and Southampton keeping a CS. Your team is very reflective of my main rivals in private leagues, especially with the Aguero, Lukaku, Suarez (c) front line.

If ever I needed a quiet week from Ramsey this is it!

SpaceCowb0y

Nastasic down as a doubt... tits!:rolleyes:

Mr.Prodston

After my -8 last week I was hoping to keep my transfer for the international break but Michu forced my hand into bringing Jonny Howson. The midfield is in dire need of patching up but for this week I'm pretty happy.

Mignolet
Turner - Terry - Clyne - Williams
Howson - Townsend - Ozil
Rooney - Aguero - Suarez (c)

subs: AJ, Coleman, Ravel.

Pretty happy with the team going into this week, which is what concerns me :pac:

Bon chance mes amis

Always that extra bit of pressure going into the last GW before an international break, if you have a poor week then its a long wait to fix things and you lose all grá for the game.

Before the last international break I scored 33 (-4) for a GW rank of 1.9 million, no repeat of that $hite please team

Mr.Prodston

Brilliant, Ashley Williams is a doubt for Sunday and I find out now.

Don't know how i missed that! I made my transfers last Sunday and have been up to my eyes all week so didn't notice! Hopefully he'll start, playing 4 - 3 - 3 for the first time all season! Morrison to come in if he doesn't end up playing though!

Extra pressure with GW4 of the cup as well.

FHFC

Migs
Terry, Dawson, clyne.
Hazard, Townsend, Ozil, Ramsey.
Suarez(c), Aguero, Lukaku.

Defenders and GK home to weak or average sides.
3 hot forwards against the bottom 2 and 5th bottom.
Midfield could go either way depending on Arsenal ManU and whether Hazard starts.

I think I can confidently predict a disaster of a week......

Hoping for a big week as I really need to make up some ground on my rivals in my money league. Brought in Ramsey for Ozil and left Nastasic on the bench.

Wouldnt call that pressure though, all the cup competitions are just a fun sideshow. Enjoyable stuff.

Please nobody say the dreaded Ramsey jinx.

Exact same team as me except I have morrison and lallana instead of townsend and Toure.

As with last year, teams starting to become similiar on here. Hopefully it goes as well for us in general as it did last year.

Oh and I hope you have a good week, especially 9 of your players!!

Really need a big game from Suarez as I fear a 0-0 or a 1-0 in the UTD-ARSE game. My only real dilemma was to start AJ or Brady, hopefully AJ will do something and Brady comes on for another 0.

Mr.Prodston

I'd just like to take this opportunity to wish Mickey Turner a Happy Birthday today. You're a true hero. Here's to a clean sheet and goal today

Yeah starting to notice a lot of similarities with teams posted here. Suppose it's inevitable, although kinda spoils the satisfaction of sitting back admiring my genius when I see every fecker has Suarez, Aguero and Lukaku up front!

Edit: I suppose that is one of the few benefits of owning Mickey Turner!

wonski

Here is my team - bear in mind -12 was applied(:mad:), altough it should have been "only" -8. Still should set me back after last week fiasco. Very similiar team to most of you, but that was the plan for this week.
Target this week - do not stay behind, and if you get lucky, you will get back to 300k.

manual_man

Team attached. Safe to say Chelsea and Liverpool clean sheets are very important to me today!

I brought in Silva for Michu so took a hit for Hazard last night. I like the look of my team for this week especially my forwards but I've thought that most weeks and not got the returns so far but this week will be different ( it probably won't )

Steven81

Confirmed #LFC team v Fulham: Mignolet, Johnson, Skrtel, Agger, Cissokho, Lucas, Gerrard, Henderson, Coutinho, Suarez, Sturridge

wonski

I do expect a lot of goals from Liverpool and City. Seeing that some teams still don't have Aguero/Negredo and Suarez gives me a hope. Good luck everyone!

Lukaku starts
