Gameweek 4 Matchday Thread.

Invincible

Can Arsenal keep a clean sheet against City, thinking of leaving Debuchy as sub.
Can Utd get their act together against a poor defence of QPR.
Good to have it back after International break :-)

YeatsCounty

In for the inevitable crushing disappointment.

Woop.

Praise be the international break is over

Have a feeling it's gonna be another funny week for some reason.

It's been a long

long

two weeks in FSA-land.

Expecting red arrows,will play wildcard then and try to make up ground ,i Thought there were Too many injuries and new players this week to set up a team going forward,should be alot clearer after this week

HighClass

Got off fairly lucky this week with injured players only Ramsey & Costa flagged, have Naismith off the bench if one of them doesn't play. Wish the United game was on today though, waiting to see if Di Maria/Falcao will be a perfect pairing or a disaster :eek:

Andersonisgod

So I have a dilemma, I'm on my wildcard but I'm stuck between Rooney or Van Persie this week? I dont plan on keeping either long term but given that Falcao has just arrived abd hasn't played much football I think it's too much of a risk given my poor start.

auldgranny

Thinking of selling Costa for ballotelli mad? wellbeck and bojan my others

Or ya ya and bojan for ballotelli and siggy
But trying not to take hits.
Any advice?

Pipjam

I brought in Aguero for Sturridge. He's getting very little attention so could be a good differential.

Front line is Costa, Aguero and Rooney so hopefully points will follow.

Get rid of Bojan

Do we really need 3 threads about a game week? Transfers, captain and general match day? Is'nt one enough?

Do we really need people with 3 posts making such dumb comments?

Ouch ! The guy has a point you know. Captain & transfers could easily be a combined thread

The three threads serve kind of unique purposes so while it might seem anal they're all worthwhile in their own rights. The transfers thread will kick off today at 11.31, I don't usually join in till later in the week but it gets quite busy there straight away. The matchday thread will run to 1000 posts of mostly pointless stuff you don't want to be ploughing through if you're looking to tinker with your team. The captain thread just gives us a unique perspective of what our community(sad I know) is thinking, all the other sites do a captain poll and we are sometimes very different results wise.

End of the day there's more pointless threads here and throughout boards, we like it this way:o

I have Hazard but have the captain on Rooney:mad:
Would you see Haz filling his boots? We still don't know who'll take the spotters for Chelsea (or do we?)

I've said it before and I'll say it again: there's too many FPL threads in this forum and it's getting worse season on season.

For captain I'm going Rooney with VC on Ramsey, starting Sterling and would captain him but for fear over him being benched

Ohh.. I can see problems there. Huge mistake.

Inspector Coptoor

I transferred out Ramsey and adebayor for
Falcao and Henderson.


Di Maria, fab, Siggy silva Henderson
Falcao Aguero Naismith

One has to lose out but who?

And who to captain?

Currently in di Maria as captain with hendo on the bench

its more to do with my captaincy options. Mario has had a bug so cant see him getting the full 90 and rvp who may not start or could be subbed off early for falcao being my best options. Im assuming hazard is on pens although I know people have mentioned costa could get them. Anyway think Im not going to bother with hazard and toss a coin for mario or rvp.

are you really happy to play burnley keeper every week? I would not be
midfield and attack looks really good BUT let's say Costa is not fot this week of aguero another week ......who comes off your bench?????? Moore is the only likely starter
just noticed you also have a burnley defender!!!!
you need to downgrade a midfielder or one striker to get more starters or you will end up with 9\10 players some weeks

Get rid of Manquillo as he won't be a regular starter. Your defence is awful but if change Manquillo to Wilson you could upgrade dummet(who probably won't play) to Taylor. I'd switch Heaton to Krul too but bonus points for being the first person ever to pick him

I'd go for Mario.
More likely to get full 90 and looked pretty dangerous in the last match.
He also has a point to prove after not starting for italy.

Is Ramsey out

Its only September it surely a bit early to have the HEATON:pac:

Wildcarding to

Begovic McGregor

Clyne Dier Peters Moreno Dummett

Siggy Sterling Fabregas Ramsey Puncheon

Pelle Wellbeck Costa

Southampton stoke and pool good fixtures

0.4 in bank


Anyone suggestions??

NoviGlitzko

Can't understand people going for Balotelli. He doesn't score much goals. If he was a regular starter he'd get around 10-12 goals a season (excluding the penalties which Gerrard will take). Huge gamble IMO.

hurlingman97

Thnks for all the advice. How bad is it this time:)

Just seen on Sky Sports news that Villa is the team he's scored the most against in the league. Let's hope he doesn't keep it up today :eek:

Looks great to me except bench a bit week

KevIRL

The number of threads isnt the issue, people posting about the wrong stuff in threads is. eg the price rise thread earlier this week turned into a complete clusterfukk with posters talking about historic rankings etc. RMT's pop up in almost every thread.

That said its all easy enough to brush past and not get involved with. If it really bugs ya though report the post and let the mods deal with it.

I do appreciate the irony of this post also btw

Mata to start? What do ye think?

remoteboy

Right time for a gamble. Question marks over costa, Ramsey and possibly sterling. Have swapped Ramsey out for di Maria and captained ADM.

crazy imo
having balo in ahead of the likes an aguero/costa/falco, even rooney is insane
couldnt be relying on that lad to do much

Invincible

Going with Aguero, needed -4 to get Sturridge out, as had Mata out earlier for Di Maria. Costa,Naismith, Fab,Ram,Sig are the others.

Mr.Prodston

10 home starters in theory but wouldn't be surprised if all 3 subs came into play. Wildcard intact however and Jovetic -> Pelle was my transfer.

De Gea
Bardsley - Clyne - PVA
Mata - Ramsey - Fabregas (VC) - Siggy
Costa - Rooney (C) - Pelle

Subs: Marney, Coloccini, Caulker

kilburn

and we are off.............

Best of luck to all may we have goals galore !!!!!!!!!!

manual_man

ended up taking no hits. not very confident(in fact, a bit terrified):

Guzan
Ivanovic Clyne Dummett
Rambo Siggy Fab Sterling
Costa(C) Naismith Aguero(V)

subs: Gilks, King Ferdinand Hutton

2.2 in the bank, may need a large chunk of this for a Naismith-->Welbeck transfer in the future

irish son

I chickened out and changed my captain from Aguero to Sterling at the last minute.
Dea Gea
Terry Van Aanholt Coloccini
Sterling(c) Siggy Ramsey Hazard
Rooney Aguero Naismith

SkySter

Aguero out for Ballotelli. One week punt and left enough in the bank to get him back. Gut says Mario will do the biz this week and may even get a price rise or two.

GW4 Team

Begovic
Ivanovic, Clyne, Wilson
Ramsey, Fabregas, Sterling, Siggy
Naismith, Ballotelli, Costa

dahat

No Yaya and lampard starts, fancy Arsenal and Ramsey to do well today now.

No Arsenal cover, ah well

Copper_pipe

#Arsenal team to play Manchester City: Szczesny, Debuchy, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Flamini, Wilshere, Ramsey, Alexis, Ozil, Welbeck

As long as the red mist doesn't descend on him!

City playing 4-5-1 today, no Yaya and Lampard/Milner start.
