game week 21 match day thread.

Paully D

I'll be finishing on 71 once Sanchez gets his 3 BP's. A quiet day from the usual United suspects would be nice. A 1-1 with goals from Carrick and Davis please! :pac:

Sanchez (C) will be 84 for the week. No skin in the next game, so a 1-1 with two own goals would be tasty enough.

74 after bonus with no hits for a change. Happy days. Nobody in the final game so I'd happily take a 1-1 with o.g's from berty and Rooney! :pac:

23 points from Di Maria would bring Me to 100!

Yeah, more stats and they are a valuable resource for captain choices. I must be old fashioned by actually looking at the players a-playin, for example Sanchez versus Hull in the FA Cup told me all I needed to know about his form and likewise Hazard's display against Spurs. To be told that you clearly made the wrong choice based on stats just ignores the great choice I made based on what I am seeing in front of me, with my 2 eyes like.

I never said you made the wrong choice, I said talking about captain choices in hindsight is pointless because all sorts of arguments are made,

For example, you talk about Sanches performance against Hull v Hazard against spurs.

Spurs had their first team out that day.
Only 3 players who played yesterday started in the cup game - so basically Arsenal played an understrength Hull and Sanches played well.

See your not comparing like with like,

Why don't you compare Hazard v Spurs in the League, with Sanchez v southampton in the league?

If Rooney scores a hatrick today, you could argue he was the best choice, as he has 4 goals and 1 assist in last 3 Home games in league.

Keep the hope, Spock. Sure that's only like 6 goals and an assist.

extra gravy

72 with ADM to go, would be nice to break 80.

G1032

73 points. No hits.

IsMiseMyself

On 64 with ADM to go. Disappointed with Giroud but other than that it's been a solid week. I'm happy enough to have played my wildcard.

redarmy

rooney (c) hat trick pls

internet_user

63 all out,hopefully ADM waits till next week to go on a spree:D

dahat

67 with RVP and Di Maria here, hoping for a scorefest from Utd.

Dempsey

65 with 3 bps to come and only 2 Southampton players on the bench to go. Captain choice ruined my week

68 points this week can hardly be classed as 'ruined' though.

Oh sweet Jesus. Ruined alright.

Lemlin

71 for the week. Will be 74 when Sanchez gets his 3 bonus.

Considering I had yet another captain fail, I'm delighted with that.

spock.

Di Maria looks to be up front with RVP.

I know you didn't say that, I was responding to the original post by Futureguy who said that Hazard was clearly the right captain choice this week.
I was countering that by saying if you purely look at stats instead of actually taking into account the players form with your own eyes, you will end up making incorrect choices.

On your second point, you are missing the point.. It doesn't matter a jot to me whether Sanchez was playing an under-strength Hull or Doncaster Rovers. His performance in that game showed me that he is entering Beast mode in terms of performance level this season, all the stats in the world will not tell you what your own eyes can see.

Maybe your out of the cup because your opponent had a better team?

Pretty much anytime someone loses a h2h game, they probably would have won had they picked captain hindsight, or started the right 11, instead of leaving 7 points on the bench.
