GW31 Matchday Thread

Lemlin

Two transfers used. Didn't plan it but taking some chances.

Mint Sauce

I have no idea this week. Have not looked at it since the last day of the last GW, until yesterday.

No doublers in my team. Not too worried about that.

Keep telling yourself that and you might even believe it. Until Tuesday that is:P I chickened out last night and brought in two, it was very hard to press the button to confirm Defoe out but it had to be done:o

Did you take a hit or did you have two transfers? I didn't bother with any doublers. Austin and Benteke were all that would interest me and I'm already happy with Kane, Aguero and Costa.

Lads like Tom Ince and Kevin Nolan last year showed me that DGWs don't always mean extra points!

Two free, prob wouldn't have bothered for a hit but the thoughts of having nothing in the Tuesday game didn't appeal to me at all. Like yourself I've never been Bentekes biggest fan but himself and Phillips are my men. I needed to go back to having a cheap fifth mid anyway so that suited. Plus I shouldn't need to do too much fiddling for week 33.

But now you need to get rid of them next week. I'd prefer not to compromise my team for an extra Villa or QPR game.

I'll hold onto Phillips as my cheap 5th mid and hope that QPR stay in the hunt to stay up. Benteke is worth a short term punt in these circumstances and as I said I'll have an interest for the whole game week.

There is that dgws are very boring when you don't have a player involved in the second match(s).

Two doublers makes the week more fun!

benteke captain
kept aguero whilst many sold him
maybe finally after 31 weeks this is MY week
although Sanchez giroud Costa and to a lesser extent Kane will probably ruin it!
I'll be in very good or very bad form after the early ko with no player involved (Bellerin if shclupp doesn't play)

Dr. Bre

kane captain. lets do this..

Mint Sauce

Taken a four point hit to get two doublers. Cant see too many bringing in loads of QPR/Villa players tbh.

spock.

No dgw players for me. With Ivan(c) Hazard and Costa, I could do with a 5-0 Chelsea win :pac:
A Siggy goal would be nice too.

PARlance

Currently have Hutton warming the bench.

Terry, Clyne and Jones ahead.
Can't really see AV cs in either of their games, Jones just edges him. Bad call?

Banking transfer this week, Santi or Sanchez will be exiting soon but one of them will go nuts vs Pool I fear.

Yes, my heart is ruling my head.
United supporter with Austin a potential C so I'm hoping Hutton returns minus figures from DGW.

Urgh. Need a good week. How do I explain to my girlfriend that we need to go to a bar to watch Arsenal vs. Pool because my FF players need their coach?! It's her birthday but...this is a big one. Got six players in that game. Stupid BT ruins me.

Hope everyone has a good week. Not as good a week as me but you know, good enough.

Six players, wow.
Regarding the missus, welcome to the deceitful double life of an fpl addict. My wife is currently on nights and I'm making all the running with "suggestions" on which times she should go to bed and leave me with the four kids in order to maximise her sleep:o possibility of me maximising my time in front of sky sports Saturday is purely coincidental.
Good luck and welcome to the forum

Any team news lads? Will Cazorla start?

wonski

Still not sure abut Austin, but he seems to score every second game so why not?

Kane has to blank at some point.

IsMiseMyself

Kinda worried about this week. I've had three really great weeks in a row so I'm due a bad one! There's also the issue of still owning both Aguero and Sanchez, while Mata and Costa are hot property for this week. So yeah: worried. Hopefully it doesn't go too badly! :pac:

NabyLadistheman

This week has f**ked with my head more than most. I have no DGW players, hope I have not undercooked this! And captain choice is ridiculous. Will prob go Kane

Id say hes nearly a banker to start.

Only made one transfer last night. Brought in Naughton.

Myhill
Bertrand Terry Naughton
Sanchez Silva Hazard Eriksen
Kane Austin (c) Aguero

Ziegler1988

Panti
Clyne Terry Naughton
Hazard Silva Eriksen Mane
Kane(vc) Costa(c) Aguero

Will be a nervous wait until the lineups are announced for Chelsea and then even more nervous if Diego is benched. First time owning Silva all season, I expect a Sanchez hat trick and Silva blank now.

I'm in the enviable position where my girlfriend likes football and has now become an Arsenal fan. She even made an FPL team a couple month ago!
