GW 25 Matchday Thread

FHFC

No thread at nearly 8 o clock!

With 10 of my starting 11 at home plus Silva at Norwich, several players who are being touted as potential captain options including the ultimate differential captain at home to the worst team in the league, my defence all on good odds for clean sheets, I can't help but feel this will end up as a disaster!!

On another note, why do the same kids who you have to drag out of bed for school get up at 7 on Saturday! ?

I'm thinking of putting it on Mata, my options as I see it are Suarez, Lambert, Dzeko, Mata, Yaya, Hazard, Mirallas. I'm benching Eriksen with that lineup at my disposal.


What percentage of active players have Van Persie if his ownership is around 18%? Can't help but worry what he could do today and against certain other teams but I can't consider him value unless you've got a team value north of 112m which I don't

FearDark

Praying for a Dzeko masterclass and for United to slip up again.

G1032

All my eggs in the RVP basket. It's make or break now.

The Wild Bunch

Second Wildcard played

Captain Van Persie

Need a big points haul badly

And I'll run amok in whatever battle cruiser I go to if they're showing Pool v Arse instead of Yeovil v MIGHTY WHITE GODS

Best get there early

Lemlin

Can't see my team going well this week tbh but I'll be happy just to maintain the lead I've made ahead of my rivals. I'm now on top of all the leagues I want to be so its about maintaining that and anything else is a bonus.

Thought about transferring out Ade for Dzeko but decided against it. I'm banking my transfer and I'm going to try and roll it over until when the FA Cup madness begins. Team today is:

Mannone
Ward Coleman Terry
Hazard Mata Lallana Yaya
Sturridge Suarez Ade

Boruc Mert Noone Bruce

Really looking forward to this Liverpool Arsenal game. I was only saying last week that I'm fairly good at predicting these bigger games and the way results go.

I can't call this one at all though:

One of the best home records against one of the best away.
Two of the best strikers against two of the best defenders.

The only thing I can say is that I expect both teams to score.

8-10

I think Arsenal would definitely win but for the players they are missing - Walcott and Ramsey in particular.

They haven't been playing all that well recently either.

Ross McCormack ANYTIME scorer @ 7/4 is a veritable gift from the gambling gods

It's kind of insurance to comfort me if my beloved Liverpool don't win

Interesting having one of the big games first up. Shame the end of it overlaps with the rugby

Jeju

Still going strong in the cup I feel I have a better chance of defensive points.
He has Ade, Rooney & Suarez (C) and I have Ade Rod & Suarez(C).
I am going to wait as long as possible to see which way he plays it.

OneColdHand

So are people benching Arsenal defender in favour of the likes of Southampton or Palace defenders?

Have Sagna, but could play Ward or Chambers (if he starts)

hoodwinked

who do i captain??? rvp dzeko or suarez???


i have it at dzeko, but now im worried if i change it ill cry later

im also playing Mertesacker because if i do Suarez will run riot...

I've benched Mert to play Ward, Coleman and Terry.

The Wild Bunch

Kolarov or Nastasic

Whos likeky to start more games between now and the end of the season lads?

Would have thought Nastasic with Demichaelis being awful?

If you look at his History tab you can see that only 55k have transferred him in over weeks 23 and 24 since he came back. After the update we'll see the figure for week 25 and that wod tell you pretty accurately his active ownership imo. Id guess it wont be much over 150k or less than 1% which I'm very happy to see...

Just_Magic

Koscielny or Coleman?
Manone or Boruc?

Kerrydude1981

Benteke or Dzeko as a replacement for Giroud?

Or keep Giroud and hope it will be a goal fest at Anfield today!!

Paully D

I have to leave one of Sterling or Adebayor on the bench in my only tough decision. I'm leaving Sterling out.

Team for this week:

Mannone

Terry Ward Mertesacker

Silva Hazard Eriksen Lallana

Adebayor Suarez (C) Negredo

Good luck all.

mailburner

tough week again for me not being sure who to bench
got lucky last week benching yaya and kol

speroni
baines fonte kolarov
mata lallana erikson yaya
ade jrod suarez c

gerrard kos bennett szec

would like to have dzec but not at a points hit and not sure
he'll score than much more than ade
baines or kos my big dilemma
dont think either will keep a cleanie but baines more likely
to get as assist or goal
hate benching gerrard also but the others appear to have
easier games

Iused2likebusts

boruc
ward azpil bardsley
hazard lallana silva mata
ade suarez(c) sturridge
A bit worried about azpil starting today kos will come in if that happens. Stating the obvious but really need the SAS to do something today with a fair few rvp captainers about.

remoteboy

Thinking of starting Baker ahead of Kos and Coleman. Madness?

I've benched kos to play Ward, Coleman and Azpi.

come on sas!

HighClass

Mannone
Mert, Cahill, Gabbidon
Hazard, Yaya, Mata(c), Eriksen
Suarez, Ade, Sturridge

It'll probably be a disaster until the last games are played. That's how my season is starting to play out.

patmac

One position left Noone, Sidwell or Vlaar?

mailburner

really expecting soton to do a job on stoke
brought in fonte so should it happen I should be ok
ricky lamps could be a great differential for a lad trying
to make up some ground
lallana jrod and fonte should hopefully get me a 20pt+ haul

vlaar but wouldnt expect much from any of them

Yes I'm benching Kosc away to Pool in favour of Ward at home to Brom, its not worth deliberating - such are the odds of the respective clean sheets.

km79

10 players at home if vlaar plays otherwise 9 as kos will come in. Rvp captained Bentekkers transferred in. What can go wrong :-D famous last words......

FutureGuy

hup ta fcuk.

If I can't do well with the shower of fcukers I have in my team today, there's no hope for me at all t'all to be fcuked.

Hup ya ballax ya, hup!

Fook. Mert in so. Is it a slight injury? I was hoping Terry might even nab a goal today.

Edit: according to Twitter it's a training knock. He's definitely out. Not in the squad.

Lemlin

Flanagan, Cissokho, Toure, Skrtel

Am I the only one who would have serious worries about that Liverpool back four?

NabyLadistheman

wowzer's just seen my opponents teams. No RVP in sight. Massive opportunity for me & RVP!!

wonski

My team this gameweek:

Marshall
Koscielny Fonte Coleman
Lallana Silva Johnson Hazard
RVP(C) Adebayor Suarez(VC)

I really need some points this week, fingers crossed for Van Persie hattrick:D

Its a really poor back 4 basically missing their first choice back 4 and lucas in front of them.

Mr. Guappa

Avoided the RVP bandwagon, brought in Yaya for Ramsey and captained Mata.

Adrian
Azpilicueta, Gabbidon, Evans
Mata, Hazard, Lallana, Yaya
Suarez, Sturridge, Adebayor

Sagna will come in for Evans. Didn't fancy doubling up on Palace defenders so benched Speroni in favour of Adrian away to Villa.

Dempsey

Captained Suarez & dropped Mertesacker...

Mannone

Azpilicueta, Gabbidon, Coleman

Lallana, Mata, Hazard, Yaya Toure

Suarez (c), Adebayor, Benteke

My GW could be a shambles by 3 o clock!

Mr. Incognito

Lemlin wrote: »

I benched Coleman. Players have a tendency to get injured directly after an injury and defenders tend to nick goals in games between the top teams.

If terry is out Coleman will come in.

dahat

Sold Cazorla and didn't captain Suarez, safe to say i'm fairly ****ting this early kick off.

Mr.Prodston

Mannone
Kos / Danny G / Cahill
Cazorla / Mata / Mirallas / Lallana
RVP (c) / Dzeko / Suarez

This could well be a marmite week for many depending on which of the many viable options do and don't perform.

finnharpsboy

goal 1-0 skertl

Dempsey

Dropping Mert is looking good so far..

HighClass

Delighted I swapped Szczesny out.
