Lukakus last chance for me today

I thought that but then I really can't see myself selling him before Stoke, Norwich and West Brom.

He has been in the Last Chance Saloon on Team Trigger for a few weeks now but seems to keep avoiding the chop.

Final thing before I drag myself out of bed - what a f**king terrible early game.

Haha, was thinking that myself. Even FF wise its hard to be interested. Usually even if you dont have anyone on your team playing rivals would have someone and you'd be funking on them doing nothing. But barely anyone seems to have players from West Ham or WBA now

Anyway hopefully a 1-1 draw with no goals/assists from anyone of consequence

8-10

Hangover means I'm starting 4 at the back, doubling up on Hull defenders, benched Hazard and Cabaye....and captained Lukaku!

Madness? Probably, yes

As long as he keeps getting picked it will indeed be a difficult decision to dump him with those fixtures in mind, I've noticed the outcry about Mourinho letting him out on loan has kinda stopped of late, Torres is well able to get goals and assists off his arse and hands by himself.

Same here I think, then again, I've been saying that for a few games now, and when I look at his next few fixtures (reasonably favourable for Everton) it makes taking him out all the harder. That said he probably more than likely will continue his poor Fantasy form and I will more than likely keep him week after week because of these fixtures waiting for a hattrick day to break the drought or something.

I'll tell ya one thing if I came across him walking down the street I'd box the head of him (hit him and run for my life) ... (shout abuse at him from a distance and running away) ... (actually no, I'd just ask for a picture, delighted with myself and continue to pick him, while probably telling him he's in my team and asking him politely to get me a few points)

BASTARD!

Lad supposedly in the know about West Ham said on FFS the other day that Ravel was in a training ground bust up with own players and has fell out with manager. How true that is I don't know. He called his initial absence before teamsheets were out.

Balls, I thought I had changed my captain to Suarez but I've left it on Yaya by mistake, could work out for me but not what I wanted.
My cup opponent has Negredo captained so now I don't mind if he only plays a few minutes.
Now that Ramsey has been decommissioned by the brigade it's time to put the hex on Coleman, I opted for Jagielka a few weeks ago, i'm sick to death of Phil Thompson and Paul Merson telling me how he's hit the post or had a header taken off the line, just score this week please Phil.

By mistake? Yaya is the best captaincy option this week.

Woah, woah, woah!!!

I think it's the man you have captained that needs the hex :eek:

Morrison is my non playing 5th mid, he won't be going anywhere until Wildcard time. Hopefully he doesn't drop too much.

KevIRL

Took a bit of a risk in my transfer this week. Eriksen in for Lampard, despite likely having 2 non players in Vlaar and Ravel and Lampard probably likely to start tomorrow. Wanted some Spurs attacking presence against a Stoke defense missing a few through injuries and suspension. Fingers crossed it works out

Come on the Silva is all i can say.

Always a good chance of a clean sheet with him, he's a top pro. Had a 2 game break, would like to see him flying today.

Robbie Savage tweeting that United could be without Rooney today! That would certainly make things interesting!!

Wow if true.

Suarez vc I assume for most

I wouldn't be surprised at all. He surely needs a break at this stage.

Few rumours circulating around twitter and the price on United has drifted substantially. Could very well be true.

Top 50 54% have Roo as Captain only 30% overall have Suarez (vc) so there are a few different ones out there. Good few people probably took hits for Rooney though so if it turns out Savage is right then its pretty costly.

Lemlin

I captained Rooney and have Suarez vc. Is Rooney apparently missing through injury or rested?

United could really struggle away to Norwich without him.

All he said was United could be without Rooney & RVP but finished it with could I be wrong!

Savage also speculating on RVP being back. I don't think there's any solid info out there

Sideshow Mark

Sh!te, took a 4 point hit to get Rooney in. Figured Negredo would be the one to be rested.

First he said No RVP now "Is RVP fit!!" seems like he might be a little drunk and going on a wind up!!

Lemlin

Opponent in one of my leagues has gone for Negredo captain.

Earlier in the season, Aguero had a slight knock and Pellegrini said he didn't take a chance with players and didn't even put Aguero in the Matchday squad.

My hope is that he'll be similarly cautious with Negredo and just give him ten minutes at the end.
