Gameweek 22 Match Day Thread

The Wild Bunch

Have Suarez but gonna captain Giroud as I need to make up ground at the top.

Could be an interesting weekend - think Chelsea willl run amok tomorrow after Rooney and Van Persie confirmed as definitely being out

Swiper the fox

My main wish for this week will be out of the way early, I need for Sunderland to score to scupper my cup opponent who has tripled up on Southampton defenders. It'd be nice for guero to run amok but like everyone who has him i'm nervous enough about how much time he gets.
Once again Suarez as captain doesn't matter at all, it's purely a defensive tactic at this stage, he needs to go mental and get himself a suspension to bring a bit more joy to this game.
I've left Januzaj on the bench but had to think hard about it, away to Chelsea that's a sign that he's no ordinary 5m midfielder.

Still tinkering with the WC, I'm nearly there.

Your question should then move to who is likely to play more minutes.......to which the answer is obvious.

I've got 6 out of the front 7. I'm still juggling between Sterling or Lallana to start though.

Aguero is far from certain to start, seems more likely to play last 25 and get an extra weeks recovery in

Bleating Lamb

WC done and dusted......going for big differential for second half of season,Chamack,S Amoebi and Benteke up front

Would love if Agüero got only like 10 mins and a yellow without scoring. Can't believe he had a back to back price rise despite the uncertainty about him starting.

Hoping Negredo and Navas do the job today.

I've a feeling negredo will be rested or only get 60 minutes today. Pellegrini isn't as nuts as Mancini was in terms of rotation so he might be ok

Scorpion Sting

Mannone - Lewis

Coleman - Terry - Santon - Ward - Chester

Hazard - Ozil - Silva - Januzaj - Ravel

Suarez - Negredo - Lukaku

1.2 in the bank

Would Lukaku for Giroud be a good move?

For a FT, it seems reasonable.

I think it would be crazy to rest Negredo given his form. He only got 60 mins the other night so isn't really in need of one. Pellegrini seems quite a sensible manager and going by his comments I'd expect Agüero to start on the bench. If he doesn't I'd imagine it's at Dzeko's expense.

He's taken a punt! Might work out though, I fancy Southampton to tighten back up defensively. I could do with them conceding as a lot of people have punted on Boruc and I have a feeling my rival has brought in Clyne. I have Mannone, so a Sunderland 1-0 would be a cracking start to the day!

Lukaku in the PL has score one goal in his last 710 minutes of football

I done that last night. I want to change Ozil to Ramsey when fit but I'd prefer the protection of Giroud if I do that. So Lukaku had to go. He dropped last night while Giroud rose. So you just missed a .2 swing. Which kind of forced my hand to do it this week. I fear Lukaku could score on familiar territory on Monday night.

Think its 50/50 about aguero starting at dzekos expense, but had to make the move this week due to finances. Worst case scenario aguero gets 25 mins against a tired defence.
I'll take 0 0 in the early game please.

I'd fancy a few quid on Hazard if he's being priced in the same bracket as Chamberlain

Necronomicon

Only one team selection dilemma for me today: Gabbidon (Stoke, home) or Santon (WHU, away) - currently have it on Gabby purely because of the home fixture, but not sure of myself.

Danger781

Chester or Ward?

Yeah kicking myself for not checking up on the price changes during the week, that .2 could have helped me with my upcoming wildcard. I guess I'll go ahead and do the move as I fancy Giroud to score against Fulham at the Emirates.

Chester or fonte?

Went for Ward myself. He is on corner kicks these days and Pulis will know his old stoke players well so will have the team setup properly to counteract.

roryc

Fonte. As much as I want Southampton to concede, I think they have a decent chance of a CS

Rikand

I dont care of Aguero only gets 10 minutes, got him in for 11.9 and he's 12.1 right now and that's only going to go up. Saved a nice few pound and it'll pay off in the long run

Not if Negredo scores a few today and Agüero does nothing. Then most Negredo owners as expected jump ship to Agüero. Too much emphasis put on team value.

8-10

This is how I line up this week. Very happy with it on paper. Jay Rodriguez is first sub which is a worry if he does something but just can't think of anyone to bench for him?

Wilshere

iroced

Can't justify to bench either Coleman, Azpi or Sagna. So I'm going to bench Gabbidon... In fairness I'm tempted to bench Aguero. Brought him for my long-term plan but I'm fearing a 1 pt cameo... Ah don't think I'll have the balls though...

Hopefully Stoke score now!

Mint Sauce

Well thats it then. Think I counted 17 transfers on my WC. Only time will tell now.

Wilshere

Yep he's probably the most likely alright, I just have him in this week before getting Ramsey though so it's a 1 week punt. Bit late now to change anyway so going with this, good point though, could burn me!

Ah FFS, My hurling manager clearly isn't thinking about fantasy football when he calls training for 3pm on a Saturday

I'd bench Wilshire. Based on his rare returns last week it might seem sensible to go with him. But points like that are rare for him. Rodríguez would be more attractive this week for me.

for me it was less about team value and more about affordability. I had Adebayor before hand and i was going to keep him an extra week, but when Aguero came on against Rovers I had to get him because I wouldnt have been able to afford him otherwise.

Transfers for price rises? How much did you end up making?

Fizman

Sunderland: Mannone, Bardsley, Alonso, Ki, Brown, O'Shea (C), Cattermole, Larsson, Johnson, Borini, Altidore.


Soton: Boruc, Chambers, Fonte, Lovren, Shaw, Cork, Schneiderlin, S. Davis, Lallana (c), Rodriguez, Lambert.

No Clyne is a surprise..

My hand was pushed too this week as I added up my planned transfers until I wildcard and I would have been .2 short to get Agüero in. So had to do Lukaku to Giroud a week early. I hate the snowball effect.

Anyways hoping for a good score this week.

1-0 Sunderland please.

Not heartbroken as long as he doesn't come on after 30

0.1 or 0.2.

There was alot of indicision as well, so maybe one of them rises could well have been canceled out. Dont think team is looking to bad in then end, was originally 0.3 off my disired team, would still now be 0.2 off that final peice of the jigsaw on getting in Ramsey, but last hour changes this morning, would have me with 0.2 or 0.3 in the bank when he does return, maybe more with predicted rises tonight, asuming theres no drops.

If he's on the bench I reckon he's coming on. Bastard kept 7 on the bench for me recently when he made an 88th minute appearance. I made a last minute change this morning and brought in Ward off the bench for him.

I was close to doing the same

2-1 Saints please. Brace for Lallana.

Wildcarded this week and came up with this.

Szczesny
Kolarov Coleman Sagna
Silva Hazard Sterling Lallana
Giroud Aguero Suarez(c)

Subs: Davis Gabbidon Januzaj Chester

ItsChecoTime

First GW this season I haven't made any transfers for, have the likes of Januzaj, Fonte and Chester on the bench so hopefully they don't get too many points there were some tough decisions

jamesbere

6 players between arsenal and city today, 4-0 wins for both will do nicely
