    At least the OP didn't call it G-Week...

    :D

    never too early to start the G week. I've already started a thread for the ultimate week

    Is the "bit early" thing a joke? cause its there every week.

    I think some folks don't like the fact that the threads are started the night before the matchday starts but since this was started at 12:13 am on the actual matchday then I see no reason to complain.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 9,074 ✭✭✭finnharpsboy

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 329 ✭✭donglen


    Is Rooney def out? Took a -4 to get him in, should I go another -4 to get him out and Aguero in?

    Last Saturday of the season :(

    On the plus side though, not too long till the hurling championship starts properly


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


    After two really bad game weeks it comes down to this one! If I have another bad one I'll have no chance of finishing good. If I have a perfect week this week I could be in with a slim chance of winning my leagues.

    Mannone
    Zab, Terry, Mert
    Yaya, Mata, Ramsey, Januzaj
    Kun, Long, Rooney

    Keeping Rooney in the team on the very slight chance he might play the second game.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    I am 2nd in my work league, I am only 26 points behind. I made 3 transfers and I have 8 double gameweek players, he only had 2 double gameweek players but he too also has made 3 transfers so I assume he now has 5. I have Rooney and also have the funds available to do the switch to RVP, I don't know what to do. My team is definitely better than his , another dilemma is captain choice, Rooneys injury/sickness really has thrown a spanner in the works as he was the nailed on captain, I have since changed it to Aquero and I think Ill leave it on him, mata is also on my mind though, any advice on the rvp and captain choice situation, If I get my captain right I will overtake him for sure?

    My team

    Degea
    Alonso Demel Baines
    Nasri Mata Toure Ramsey
    Wickham Rooney Aquero(c)

    I also have Erickson on the bench

    His team as of last game week

    Scezney
    Coleman Fonte Zabeleta
    Sterling nasri Mata Ramsey
    Lambert Suarez Lukaku

    London and Carlow will be pinning your post up in the dressing room for extra motivation. :pac:

    If I buy Wickham I can get Suarez back

    Or buy Yaya/Silva for Gerrard


    Which is better?

    Yaya or Silva. It would be mad to not have at least one of them for the DGW.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    I really really hope I'm not wrong about Wickham. I'm refusing to pay 4 points to get on this bandwagon! It just seems silly :O

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Here's how I line up this week, our final DGW to kickstart the final 8 days of the season:

    Mannone x2
    Demi x2 - Cahill - Chester x2
    Mata x2 - Ramsey - Eriksen - Silva x2
    Podolski - RVP x2 - Aguero x2 (c)

    (-8)
    Salah, Ward, Turner.

    I'd much rather have had Vidic over Chester but I have the cash in the bank to allow me bring both Suarez and Studge back in next week.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    Quick who should I bench from ramsey and erickson

    Eriksen is away Ramsey is at home!
    Eriksen


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 22,255 ✭✭✭✭Lemlin


    How I line up:

    Mannone x 2
    Evra Chester Kompany (all x 2)
    Mata x 2, Yaya x 2, Ramsey, Eriksen
    Suarez, Aguero x 2, Rooney x who the **** knows.

    Happy to be entering the last week of the season. It's been a long one. Last goal now is to preserve a three digit finish.

    I'be won all my leagues I wanted to bar one and I'm beyond caring in it at this stage. Opponent deserves it more than me anyway. He's far outplayed me second half of season.

    got rid of rooney for dzeko so its (-8) for me


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,268 ✭✭✭IsMiseMyself


    I can't wait for this season to be over. The lead-in is making me anxious and I have such an inexplicable fear I'll lose my 70 point lead in these two weeks.

    You and your auld articles :p, there's me thinking, spot of luck after transfer to RVP not going through before deadline on site :)


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 4,097 ✭✭✭shadowcomplex


    That's from weeks ago?

    You must have been driving the car at 88 this morning :cool:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 301 ✭✭Posada


    I only have 5 DGW'ers. :( A few on here seem to have 8 or so.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,638 ✭✭✭Iago


    Ended up with 6 DWG'ers in the end. Rooney's uncertainty left me with no choice but to leave him out, may well come back to bite me.


    Mannone (2)

    Azpi Kos Evra (2) Zab (2)


    Ramsey Mata (2) Toure (2)

    Bony Suarez Aguero (C) (2)


    Took a 4 point hit to swap out Coleman/Nasri for Evra/Toure

    Very nearly left Nasri in, but the risk with Toure is just too great imo, another decision that might bite me, but the right one I think regardless of result.

    Tottenham XI: Lloris; Naughton, Dawson, Kaboul, Rose; Lennon, Paulinho, Sigurdsson, Eriksen; Adebayor, Kane

    My opponent brought in Jones, RVP and Wickham. Bold strategy. No Suarez or Rooney.

    GW comes down to:

    Me: Kompany, Chester, Evra, Eriksen, Suarez, Rooney.

    Him: Zabaleta, Jones, Coleman, Johnson, RVP, Wickham.

    At least our teams are a bit more different this GW after weeks where we literally had about 2/3 differences.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,056 ✭✭✭Sooner or Later


    7 doubles. After red arrows in three of the last four weeks I was not best pleased in having to take an eight point hit to re-jig my team after the Rooney news. Had him as captain originally.

    Mannone x2
    Fonte, Zabaleta x2, Chester x2
    Mata (c) x2, Nasri x2, Yaya x2, Ramsey
    Wickham x2, Suarez, Rooney x?

    with Jedinak as first sub


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,072 ✭✭✭carraig2


    I have only 6 Dgwers after -12


    Aaaaaagh screwed anyway.
    He still had wildcard

    Good luck, Lemlin! It's squeaky bum time for you now.

    I should be pretty safe. Took a -8 and opponent only made one transfer (Coleman-->Vidic) and while I have 8 DGWers to his 6, I think his team is stronger. Still 70 point lead. (62 with the hit!) I can't f-ck this up. Probably.

    I had 8/9 for the last one, turned out to be pretty sh!te.

    :(

    7 for this one, including 6 from both City and Utd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 310 ✭✭cizolin


    Top of my league by 7pts. Took a 4pt hit and transfered out Suarez and Demel for Dzeko and Vidic.

    Here's my team:

    Harper
    Vidic, Coleman, Vlaar
    Mata(c), Toure, Adam Johnson, Ramsey,
    Aguero, Dzeko and Long


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,336 ✭✭✭✭km79


    League leader was 44 points ahead but took a 16 point hit which included the following highlight. Selling rosienor for Jones last Monday.......but then buying Rosienor back for Coleman!!!. And he has benched rosienor........he then sold cazorla for mutch to afford RVP........he has captained aguero tho!
    His starting MIDs are Mutch , eriksen, lallana (all singles away from home) and nasri
    Mine are yaya , mata captain , Ramsey home and also eriksen.
    Surely I will gain ground.......


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


    Right for the first time this season I messed up confirming my team. Had changed Eriksen in for Brown last night on my phone app but mustn't have confirmed it. So now I'm going with this! Hope it's lucky, Wes Brown for a goal against his former club! :)

    Neither of the guys I'm chasing have Rooney, both have Dzeko, Aguero and Suarez up front so Wonky Wayne is now my differential!

    Lor of ppl selling rooney and benching erikson; only a matter of time before the ffs ff bandwagim kicks in on these ones


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,895 ✭✭✭✭machiavellianme


    Benching Eriksen looks like the right call atm.
