Gameweek 2 match day thread

KevIRL

That was a quick week. Off we go again. Good luck all

Lemlin

I line up as follows:

Begovic
Caulker Coloccini Terry
Fabregas Ramsey Siggy Sterling
Costa Rooney Fletcher
Subs: Hamer, Van Aanholt, Moore, Isgrove.

Have been changing Caulker and Van Asnholt around all week but think I'll go with Caulker due to his goal threat, particularly as he's against his former club.

Twins sick, up half the night, sick myself, can only spell a disaster for the weekend too. Hopefully might surprise me and cheer me up! Best of luck to everyone.

Definitely go with Caulker. I sold him so he's bound to score :-)

Menas

I will be having a media blackout day and will watch MOTD tonight in blissful ignorance of how the day went.
Good luck to all!

Only doubt is chambers or van aanholt may reverse this.

Im all in on the chelsea attack and would love a 0 0 between villa and newcastle.

Have more or less identical defenders to you (Cahill rather than Terry) but have gone for Van Aanholt and benched Caulker. Just feel there's a possibility of a clean sheet there and more chance of involvement in a goal.

In fact our teams are very similar. I have Eriksen, Mata and Jovetic to your Ramsey, Sterling and Fletcher.

De gea
Terry van aanholt Wilson
Fab Siggy Ramsey He who shall not be named
Rooney Costa Fletcher

If Wilson doesn't play I'll have caulker to come in.

Excellent! Hope you have a great GW!

2 of Naismith, Sterling and Dzeko is my dilemma.

Naismith benched at the minute.

Sterling and Dzeko for me.

Mr. Guappa

De Gea
Terry, Hutton, van Aanholt
Ramsey, Sigurdsson, Eriksen, Fabregas, Hazard (C)
Rooney, Dzeko

Pieters first sub.
Transfer was Fabregas for Mata.

Exact same starting eleven , with the same predicament.


Bench - Aanholt , baird , waymana

I'm going to leave Caulker in for the goal threat. He's .5 mil dearer so might as well try to get some value for my money!

Mr.Prodston

Looks like I'll be lining up as follows:

De Gea
Bardsley - Clyne - Collocini
M**a - Fabregas - Ramsey - Siggy
Rooney - Austin - Costa (c)

Subs: Van Aanholt, Caulker, Marney

I can easily see a defender with a big score on the bench though.

I have the same predicament in that I'm undecided between Fletcher and Caulker. Caulker could very easily get the goal but then again Fletcher is a striker. Fletcher seemed pretty average last week. What to do?

I'm surprised to see van aanholt in so many lineups. I think people have gone full swing and are now massively underrating Man United

I'd field Fletcher. United were shaky at the back last weekend and are badly in need of a central midfielder.

Cleverly is expected to play tomorrow. Doesn't matter how good a defence you have now if they don't have a decent protection in midfield and players who can hold the ball and retain possession.

I think people are expecting attacking returns rather than defensive returns.

United are still missing seven players according to van Gaal. Last week they fielded a lad who wasn't a success on loan in the Championship last season.

I expect United to score a max of 2 against Sunderland. That said, I am benching van Aanholt and playing Caulker, Coloccini and Terry.

Necronomicon

De Gea
Debuchy-van Aanholt-Clyne
Siggy-Fabregas-Eriksen-Mata-Ramsey
Rooney-Costa(c)

That's how I line up. Unfortunately I start at -8 so really have to hit the ground running.

Kerrydude1981

Which one to play Lovern or Cameron lads?

Cameron didn't play at all last week, so has to be Lovren

shano_88

De Gea
Taylor Hutton Terry
Ramsey Mata Fabregas Siggurdson
Bojan Costa Rooney

Subs: Pieters, Debuchy, Albrighton

Not sure whether to start Pieters or Taylor. It would definetly be Taylor If i knew he was starting. Talking the chance that he will start anyway.

Copper_pipe

5 minute warning!

De Jong is back!!

IsMiseMyself

I am reasonably confident going into this GW. Have two concerns though. One being Bojan. If he gets another blank, I really need to get rid. The second being the City/Pool game. I have no coverage from either team and my main rival has Sterling, Silva, and Dzeko so the idea of a goal-fest there is scary.

Scorpion Sting

Krul
Clyne, Cahill, Pieters
Siggy, Ramsey, Mata (c), Sterling
Costa (v), Rooney, Dzeko

Elliot, Marney, Ferdinand, Moore


A great start and no transfers. Hoping to consolidate this week and of course Mata has to come out all guns blazing!

Let the games begin!!

Never! Costa to score a hattrick more hopefully.

Also signs of life from Mata would be good too. :cool:

Jaysus lads

A brace from Giroud tonight would be welcome

Praying like a priest for a 1-1 here, main rival has Guzan and Vlaar.

FutureGuy

Newcastle v Villa is the type of game that always ended 0-0 last year and piss me off as rivals had players from both.

Almost stuck a fiver on it out of spite lol.

I wouldn't worry too much after their next match villa are proper ****ed for their for a good five games.

iamanengine

Have Krul and Dummet so hoping for a 0-0 myself :P

KevIRL

Early days granted but this one does look like a nil nil from watching it. Very few chances

KevIRL

Hutton in pain now but looks like he'll be okay
