GW29 Match Day Thread.

Mint Sauce

Well its been a long time coming, but its finally here, just a little under 11 1/2 hours to make them final changes.

These are the 9 brave souls to lead me into battle, thankfully the transfers of Monday and Tuesday night have so far kind to me. Only down side was Adam and his suspension, which would have been 10 players. Further prep for GW31 will continue over the weekend, with him first for the chop.

Boruc

Evra-Olsson-Ward-Terry
Zaha--Lallana--Hazard(c)

Adebayor

So what do we think, should it be a little bit of a points builder, and hopefully rise me a little higher from the top 500k. I'm hoping my 0 points hit might make a further difference if other players around me have take the hit to feild a team.

PS, as it has gone midnight, none of ye's can complain that this is a day early.

Calvin

I've got
Boruc
Azp - Ward
Lallana (V) - Hazard (C) - Mutch - Bentaleb
J-Rod

Hoping for a Southampton clean sheet or even a 0-0 draw. Then the rest lies on Hazard making an impact against Spurs.

Lemlin

No 'keeper and a Jack Charlton USA '94-style 4-5-1 for me:

Terry Ivanovic Ward Vidic
Hazard Lallana Mata Ince Noone
Ade

Noone and Ince may not start. Ince at least will feature I believe but Noone may not.

The back four are all capable of a goal so would be a huge differential for me if one of them could grab one.

zarquon

10 for me as well. Will bank my transfer though as i have no Everton coverage and i think that's more important than United coverage over the next few weeks.

banking the transfer

LET THE GAMES BEGIN!!!

Mr.Prodston

It's the classic "RVP and 2 dodgy Norwich defenders or bust" strategy I employ this week. It's a risky 9 or a safe 6 from me Rachel. My 6 is:

Cahill - Ward
Hazard (c) - Lallana - Mata
Ade

However here's the risky 9 I'll go with:

Cahill - Ward - Olsson - Bennett
Hazard - Lallana - Mata
Ade - RVP (c)

and for the numbers round I'm hoping to get a score of 60. Ideally I'd have 1 Big number in RVP and 5 small in Hazard (for captaincy reasons), Rooney, Evra, J-Rod and Snodgrass.

The Conundrum was whether to bank my transfer or not. I solved it early on to keep it for the DGW31 bonanza!

HighClass

Begovic
Terry, Cahill, Gabbidon, McNaughton
Hazard, Noone, Lallana, Snodgrass, Mata
Ade

I know the full 11 won't play though. Slim chance of Gab & McNaughton getting a run and Noone & Snodgrass flagged yellow. Will have 7 playing at worst.

The Wild Bunch

It's all about Captain Van Persie.

What's the story with eriksen for spurs. Will he play

Never know. He could play 90 minutes could play 20 or could stay on the bench. That's why I got rid of him, madness that he's not starting every game.

Dr. Bre

hazard picked up a knock playing for belgium according to bbc. passed fit to play but will he play the 90mins. have to hope so as hes my captain

Menas

This weeks worry points:
No RVP
Only 8 players.
Noone, Hazard and Olssen recovering from minor injuries.

Have 1 free but will not use it. Roll on next week!

Hogey007

vidic - ward - shaw

mata - hazard (c) - lallana

had 2 ft's, banking the second one for next week.

You often here the pundits say it can be more difficult to play against 10 men so decided to put it to the test today in a 3 5 1 formation.

Once hazard matches roo and rvp all should be fine.

Someone posted a tweet from Noone during the week saying he's ok for this week so I'm hoping he'll start. Ince who knows, could get ya 1 point or 10.

Ole has been using a number of tactics/formations to try and salvage something at Cardiff so I'll be pleasantly surprised if he starts.

El Horseboxo

Think i've 5 playing this week. 6 if Eriksen plays. The West Ham and Hull game being rearranged interfered with how i planned for this week and beyond. But see the point in taking hits for inferior players while getting rid of DGW players. So hoping for the best and hopefully not taking hits to field 10 or 11 DGW players pays off. 10 if i play Hazard.

Cantona's Collars

8 playing this week,I won't take a hit to get anyone in.It seems like a lot of people are sticking this week with the dgw in mind.

qwabercd

10 playing and transfer banked. Likely will have less than 10 as have bennett, noone and ince.

Boruc
BTurner Evra Cahill Ward
Hazard(c) Lallana Mata Ince Noone

A possible 11 playing but may be as few as 8 with doubts hanging over Ince, Noone and even Turner given Sjolksjaers (sp?) unpredictability.

Little Bubbles

Rvp has an illness. There could be a real possibility he'll be rested. They've bigger games coming up so welbeck will start..

dahat

10 playing with Ince the only iffy one and like so many others i have Hazard as captain and banked the transfer.

I reckon this week will not be the disaster we thought originally.

irish son

Just the 7 for me.

Terry - Cahill - Olsson
Mata - Hazard (c) - Lallana
Ade

I'm hoping some players forget to change captain and leave it on Suarez and Sturridge as captain and vice

The Wild Bunch

10 today

Hoping Tom Ince can do something

q2ice

6 players today. For the people with 10 playing today - how many of yere team will play two games in GW31?

10 hopefully.

8 certain to play, with a hope that Whittaker comes in for 2 minutes maybe

Marshall
Evra Fonte Azpilicueta
Hazard(C) Paulinho Lallana(VC)
Adebayor

If RVP doesn't start it's extremely hard to envisage a lot of us not seeing green arrows this week! Limited pool to choose from and the vast majority will go with Hazard as captain, or vice captain behind RVP. I'm looking at the team below, 10 playing in a 4-4-1:

Marshall
Evra---Terry---Azpil---Ward
Mata---Lallana---Ince---Hazard(c)
Ade

My rival has made two changes this week and based on his team value and style of play I'm pretty sure he's brought in Marshall and Terry to try and get his team as similar to mine for the final run in. If that's the case he'll have 8 of the above players, with my Evra + Ward against his Chambers. I've 25 points to catch him, would be brilliant if this was under 20 by the end of the day. Will find out in 10 minutes if my hunch is correct...

"Robin was in his bed all day Tuesday being sick but he felt better on Wednesday and he played,'' Moyes said. "I was a little bit surprised he played 90 minutes in a game they were losing 2-0 but he did do.''

Moyes said the striker is now "fine"' and in contention for a place in United's team to face West Brom at the Hawthorns on Saturday.

For us that were well prepared it won't be. I've seen people not far behind me in leagues though that could only have five or six players this week.

Guy that has made up huge ground on me in the last 4 weeks has 3 and made 2 transfers so max of 5. Can't wait to see who he brought in.

Guess looking at the teams in a bit will reveal all,those of us with the 10 will need someone like Ince to hit 8+ and RVP benched to see good gains.

From FF point of view a Utd no show at WBA will be a massive blow to those who have banked on RVP/Rooney as capt.

manual_man

a whopping 7(max) players to play for me this week(including a -4). gw hopes rest on (c) Mata and Norwich keeping a cleanie :P no striker :pac:

roryc

I'm hoping a lot of people have taken points hits this week.

manual_man

GW31 will have far the bigger impact than this week. of the fixtures today there's not even one fixture that stands out in terms of big points potential - if i can scrape average for this week i'll be delighted - GW31 and beyond is where i hope to make the ground

dahat

Strong MUFC team out,RVP and RAFAEL start,4-2-3-1 i reckon.

No Vidic.....

Max_Charger

#mufc team to face West Brom: De Gea; Rafael, Jones, Smalling, Evra; Carrick, Fellaini; Mata, Rooney, Januzaj; van Persie.

Albion team v @manutd: Foster; Reid, McAuley, Olsson, Ridgewell; Yacob, Mulumbu; Amalfitano, Gera, Brunt (c), Anichebe #WBAMUN

In a few leagues i'm in they have. And looking at their teams i'm wondering who they got out. I can only account for players that you'd want for the DGW. I see Suarez and Sturridge dropped last night. Madness.

manual_man

smalling and jones centre half? vidic dropped? bizarre. can see goals in this one

Praying for a west brom goal

My main rival brought Adam in last week:D

Early transfers do not pay off.

As a Fpl player I'm disappointed that Vidic doesn't play but as a United fan I'm delighted he doesn't. If that makes any sense.

the short sightedness of it all.

Suarez down .3 in the last week I think and he scored 15 in his last game week..... he's going to be the man to have for the run in!
