89 (-4) up to 6k from 16k and a GW rank of 5k. Delighted!

Life without Sanchez is easy. I don't recall any panic over the weekend at all :pac:

I recall you planning on -8. You have changed.

Where is Mr.P and what did you do to him:D

Strange one this week. I ballsed up by captaining Pelle over Augero. Probably should have played Duff instead of Taylor too. Would have been a nice extra 12 pts. That being said, good ol Bainsey saved me. Ended up on 76pts. In the top 40k overall which I persume is decent enough!

Got Sanchez now. I may well use the wildcard the week after the break i.e the next GW. I then might sell Costa and divert some of that money into a premium Baines bond.

Easy and straight forward. Just like me

Just seen Siggurdson's free kick.
WOW

Welbeck's assist was very good, too. He needs some time but he is on a good track.

GillespieRoad

Finish on 82 and 7k. The -4 for Aguero(Welbeck) and Chadli(Fabregas) proved to be more than worth it!

Invincible

77 for week brings me into 29K.
Pity Dummett was on bench and Chambers playing

76 points is decent enough:D. Always. Every week.

Baines goal was a miracle after bringing him in for -4 hit.

I agree. Part of me is tempted to bring Welbeck back in even after shipping him out for Sakho this week. Will hold off for a while though...

Chambers wasn't playing according to my friend who watched the game.
According to him he couldn't keep up (with Montero I think).

'Tis! Overall I'm happy. Just being greedy wanting those extra points :P!

Re Baines, since I brought him in - 7pts, 7pts, 11pts. Love having him in my team


So, my questions for the next GW are:

Is it time to get rid of Pelle?

Do I really need Sanchez considering Arsenal's form and fixtures?

Do we give the cheap, in-form Ayoze Perez of Newcastle a go?

Arbitrary

Another week of green arrows despite missing out on 16 points due to my captaincy choice and a benched Coloccini. I should be happy with 82 points, but part of me is annoyed, I honestly considered including him in my line up, but being away and up against Berahino I opted against it.

Delighted i benched chambers though and oddly enough I was actually rooting for another yellow, such a messed up game when you want one of your players on the bench to see red.

I have a really long write up for GW 12 captain options that I'll post closer to the date, here's a preview...

Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro! Pick Aguerro!

Sweet jayzuuus... How those 11 pts could have turned to 0 in a fraction of second for a few inches. Gives me shivers ...


--- edit ---

Just been watching the goals from the GW. Some cracking goals

Sigurdsson great top corner free kick was mentioned.

But wow Chadli goal deserves to be cited :eek:. What a volley ! Top corner from a very closed angle. Superb... but honestly could have gone anywhere :pac:.

Ayoze Pérez nice back heel finish.

Just saw ADM assist :rolleyes:... Juan Mata and his powerful kick gave him that assist.

Oh and Aguero's goals. Such class. So calm and confident in the 18-yard-box.

Montero ran rings around him alright. He seemed to have schooled himself well on how to deal with Chambers. One radio commentator suggested bringing on Bellerin in his place at half time. Chambers is a young man, I think he learnt something today and I'll hold onto him for a while anyway.

He wasn't first choice defender anyway. Being a second chance player at Arsenal means you will play half of the season, though.

We wanted cheap way into top teams defence and that's what we got. No clean sheet in that team - I will get rid. I would rather have a bottom team player who plays 90 minutes without a yellow card instead.

You could spell Aguero correctly by removing one of the R's and insert it between the P&i of pick.... The sentiment stays the same

Dubliner28

74 points with Pelle as Captain and Sasko in team Have to be happy with that
Midfield and defence cleaned up for me this week. Green arrows going into international break, have to be very happy with that

Benimar

79 points. Aguero (c), Baines and Siggy the standout performers.

Up to 817th, my highest ever position at the end of a GW

Not having Sanchez and Costa is a worry, but you can't have everyone.

Delighted be up to 34k now which is just inside the top 1%
Annoyed that I'm 17 places lower in the gameweek 1 league which means that 17 players who started in week 2 are ahead of me:o

I always look at that too. There's 5 of 'those' people ahead of me too!

AdMMM

68 points... bit disappointed that I could only add 9 points on yesterday but such is life. Green arrows again anyway!

Dubliner28

In the top 500 Come on

Why is there a GW 1 league?

Hackers

60 points, had Aguero captained so a bit disappointing overall. Down from 8K to 12K overall. Replacing Sigurdsson with Downing didn't help! 9 weeks of green arrows came to an end too

To make us feel bad that we can't even stay ahead of guys who we have a head start on.

If you join late then they have a league for everyone that joined in that week. Ie there are GW2,3,4,5,6....... leagues

Hi lads, I was away from the computer all weekend so missed the banter etc on here for GW11.

Logged in to see I had a really good week with 88 (-4) and pushed well inside the top 3,000 now, the highest I've been for many a year. My first points hit to get Sanchez in for Sterling (with Austin for Pelle to make up the price difference) worked quite well.

Austin looked superb against Manchester City, he really reminds me of Darren Bent when he was at Sunderland, living on the shoulder of the last man and making superb runs. I think he could be a bargain over the next few weeks given QPR's fixtures.

Aguero (C), Chadli, Baines, Sigurdsson, Costa, Bertrand my main contributors alongside the aforementioned this weekend.

I just can't seem to hit on a goalkeeper at all. Any suggestions as De/Gea/Lloris/Mignolet have been a relative disaster for me this year. I'm thinking perhaps Krul? That'd free up a nice bit of cash to improve elsewhere too.

Yeah I finished 7th in the GW11 league for my first year playing the game. And think my missus was in the top 3 of the GW18 league that same year :cool:.

It's good, it gives you some challenge if you start late .

I'm going to get Green after the next gameweek when Southampton's fixtures turn bad, QPR have a nice run until January so you shouldn't need to change your goalkeeper until the January wildcard.
