    Seems like a lot of people starting the week on -8/-12, its a good bit to make back, althought I heard on the FFS podcast last week one of the top guys took a 24 point hit at the start of the season. I do think this is different, everyone will have 10 DGWers, everyone will have Suarez as captain, it could all be very samey-samey

    Currently none. But will definitely be -4, possibly -8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,713 ✭✭✭keano_afc


    -4.

    Silva and Zabaleta in for Cahill and Lallana.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,250 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    -12. I voted -8 incorrectly.

    Ivan out for Bardsley
    Vidic out for Chester
    Lallana out for Gerrard
    Noone out for Yaya


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    -8

    Lallana to Gerrard
    RVP to Sturridge
    Ollson to Baines.....yet to be confirmed but definitely happening.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    0 hits the joy of keeping the WC! Not sure whether to go with 11 DGW or go with 10+Hazard.

    Will be going with 8.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,969 ✭✭✭✭alchemist33


    It will be 8. Mata, Lallana and Bassong to Yaya, Gerrard and Zabaleta.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    Currently at 8 but will likely be 12 unless I hear confirmation Colback will be playing (which I'm unlikely to get)


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 756 ✭✭✭Who_8_Paul?


    -12 leaves me with 10 double gameweekers:

    Speroni
    Baines Coleman Mertesacker
    Yaya Silva Gerrard Nolan
    Suarez Sturridge Lukaku

    Very similar to a lot of GW31 teams probably; Could do Speroni to Adrian or Mannone for another -4 but Speroni has a double in 3 weeks himself so will leave as is; priority after this week is getting a 3rd Man City player given their numerical game advantage - hopefully Aguero is back soon, my opponent won't be able to afford him without dropping Suarez or tearing up his team so hoping a front 3 of SAS (Aguero in middle) can do the business over the last 8 games


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,079 ✭✭✭tom_k


    Ince and Lallana out for Yaya and Nolan so far. Thats a -4 but I've only 7 DGWers so I'll almost certainly be going to a total of -8 or -12.

    Currently considering Chester, Zabaleta and possibly Mannone. Had considered Gerrard but would mean benching Hazard which I'm just not willing to do.

    All transfers I make between now and tomorrow will be defenders/GK.

    -12 and 10 DGW players


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭OneColdHand


    -12 leaves me with 10 double gameweekers:

    Speroni
    Baines Coleman Mertesacker
    Yaya Silva Gerrard Nolan

    That looks like a team that could do some serious f**kin damage.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,600 ✭✭✭roryc


    I would love if Mata outscored Gerrard. In saying that, one of the most important games for me is surprisingly the first one, Chelsea v Arsenal. My rival will be playing a Chelsea defender and Mertesacker, so I need both teams to score in this one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    No points hit :cool:, Ince to AJ my FT.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,532 ✭✭✭OneColdHand


    No points hit :cool:, Ince to AJ my FT.

    People need to be more specific when saying 'AJ'! Could be Januzaj or Johnson!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 738 ✭✭✭Gaillimh1976


    No hit (so far!!!)

    10 DGW plus Hazard, if Colback plays

    If not Lallana is first sub, so might just leave it at that


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988

    Johnson. Has Adnan been relevant in 2014? :pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2, Paid Member Posts: 4,137 ✭✭✭NabyLadistheman


    No hits here either. Did Lallana to Yaya. Have 9 DGW'ers so far along with Terry & Hazard. Only other change I am considering is Smalling (currently benched) ---> City defender. If I do take a hit it will involve leaving Terry on the bench which I don't want to do

    Also my direct opponents will have to take hits to get 9 DGW'ers so it could be a nice head-start for me


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,318 ✭✭✭✭Menas


    I took a 4 point hit to get to 10 double weekers.
    Azpi=> Zab
    Ollsen=>Chester

    Team will be:
    Mannone
    Coleman, Kos, Zab, Chester
    YaYa, Hazard, Nolan, Sterling
    Sturidge, Suarez.

    I will be really pissed off if this is a low scoring week and I dont break 100 points!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,621 ✭✭✭NinjaTruncs


    none yet but will probably end up with -8 once I look at my transfers, anyone know when Smalling is due back.

    No points Hit...but speculating on smalling to baines although i have williamson collins and coleman as 3 DGWer's


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,810 ✭✭✭✭jimmii


    People need to be more specific when saying 'AJ'! Could be Januzaj or Johnson!

    I can't believe anyone is going to be bringing in Janu!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,679 ✭✭✭✭wonski


    Nolan and Demichelis in for Paulinho and Fonte. -4 only and I have 10DGW players + Hazard.
    Lallana, Azpi and Whittaker (who surprisingly started for Norwich last week) on the bench.

    McGregor
    Coleman Evra Demichelis:eek:
    Yaya Sterling Nolan Hazard
    Sturridge Suarez Lukaku

    Very average team I guess, but won't make any extra hits especially when Hazard is in good form. Can't afford Gerrard and got rid of Silva last week:mad: so no way he goes back to my team. Fingers crossed for Yaya's goals:D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    No points hit :cool:, Ince to AJ my FT.
    Changed my mind (per usual). -8 hit to do JRod to Big Andy and Shaw to Dummett
    10 DGWers + Hazard starting now


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,400 ✭✭✭TacT


    Adebayor=Lukaku
    Lallana=Johnson
    Boruc=McGregor
    Paulinho=Gerrard

    McGregor
    Olsson, Chester, Kolarov
    Yaya, Johnson, Gerrard(V), Hazard
    Suarez(C), Sturridge, Lukaku

    9 DGW'ers


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,675 ✭✭✭HighClass


    -8 but will probably be -12 by the end of the day. Biggest hit I've taken all season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,262 ✭✭✭iroced


    If Debuchy didn't get injured would have had 9 DGW + Hazard & Azpi with no hits. But my "masterplan" of ignoring GW 29 (got Debuchy instead of a United defender (*) which cost me a lot during that GW but last GW saved me from this mini GW29 disaster).

    (*) Didn't realise that Smalling was roughly the same prize. Now that he seems to be out it softens the blow (though with La Buche injury it's a 6 pts net deficit anyway).

    So to answer the thread's question will probably take a 4 pts hit to replace Debuchy. There is the temptation to take another hit for Lallana and bench Hazard but not sure it's worth a 4 pts hit. And don't know who to take for him. Also he has lost already £0.2m so I'm a little late to make the move now. Only worry is his last 55 min game...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,195 ✭✭✭irish son


    -4, Lallana to Sterling and Cahill to Baines, leaves me with 10 DGW players and Hazard. Im benching Terry which Im not very comfortable with and also Colback who I was never even tempted to play.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,462 ✭✭✭✭WoollyRedHat


    I've kinda of taken hits leading up to this in preparation.

    For example, in the previous two weeks I had take two straight -8 hits, and now this week I've taken another -4 hit.

    So to put into perspective, I've taken at least a -16 point hit for this gameweek

    I ended up making an extra -4 hit after I stupidly got Ramsey in before I knew he would be defintely fit enough, and similarly have got burned with Aguero who I then decided to dump...

    I wish it wasn't so much, as -20 sounds fairly bad, but what's done is done.

    The number of hits this week makes me think I was well prepared for this. Should stop reading the thread before I do something stupid and end up with -12 or worse:D

    Friend of mine said he only need to make 3 transfer to have all 11 dgw players, and he seemed very happy about this like he had it all planned.
    I thought, well - pretty much every player is in the very same position. I thought he was serious until I noticed his team value 103.8 and 0.8 in the bank. Suarez, Lambert and Berahino upfront:D
    It is funny when people think they have it all figured out, hope he captains Mirallas again.

    Bring the point hits lads:D
