The 36th Matchday Thread.

dahat

No football for me today asnits my daughters Holy Communion today.

Caterer, bouncy castle, the full Monty so Dahat is on football silence as ordered by Mrs Dahat..

Gambled on Ramsey so on the back foot already this week.

spock.

Giroud and Koscielny in
Austin and Bertrand out -4

Mignolet
Huth Morgan Ivanovic Koscielny
Hazard Ramsey Fabregas
Vardy Benteke(c) Giroud

Not happy about having to double up on Leicester defence and Chelsea midfield but didn't want to take a second -4

G1032

At work today

Interest in this seasons FF is almost fully depleted and the 1% chance I still have of getting into the FSA Premier League is all that's keeping me going at this stage.

I made transfers + picked my team after the Arsenal win on Monday night.

I benched Fabregas and I'm playing Coutinho and Albrighton!!
I don't have Kane and I don't have Silva.
I've taken a -4.
I don't expect a good week.
Roll on next season

Benimar

I only have 3 playing today so I'm going to be bored!!

harpstilidie

Would you guys play Davis (lei) or Mignolet (che)?

Menas

Davis. Slightly better chances of a CS and save points IMO. Have not checked bookies odds though.

bezuaua

play schlupp or alder?

Copper_pipe

Myhill
Terry-Bertrand-Bellerin
Hazard-Sanchez-Silva-Albrighton
kane-Giroud-Aguero(c)

Starting with a -4

Now time for my driving lesson.

tmc86

start Vardy or Hendo?

T-b0n3

Brought in Bellerín & Sánchez for Bertie & Sterling, -4 points.

Myhill
Terry, Bellerín, Dawson.
Sánchez, Hazard, Ramsey, Silva.
Kane, Tekkers, Agüero.

Schmeichel, PVA, Cork, Naughton.

Not sure what keeper to play. Would normally go with the home player, but just not sure. Clean sheet odds, very close.

LEICESTER 11/5
WEST BROM 23/10

Vardy

my wife is in the running for a nice money prize. top 5 is EXTREMELY tight at the moment . only 30 points separating them and only 4 points separating 2nd 3rd and her in 4th!
she has brought sanchez in this week has the funds for whichever other arsenal mid next week and has pva as Sunderland cover
so her dilemma is as follows
starting defence this week is terry schlupp and one of Bertrand \alder
so if she wants an arsenal defender (kos) it will take a -4 this week or next
I figure if she is to do it may as well be this week ? or just leave it and go with just 2 arsenal.............
one other thing is all the others will have a saints defender playing this week most likely as well.......

Jesus, your poor wife must be up all night with the stress of it all:(:pac:

Communion myself in two weeks dahat, fortunately the last week is Sunday games as the poor girl would probably be traumatised from the experience, mood swings etc:o:p

Just back from Disneyland last night, need to spend a few minutes now catching up.

she is a pretty conservative player. does not like hits and does not overthink it. she is doing better than me AGAIN (16k) so there is a lesson in there for me
however I wanted her to take the arsenal hit last week for Sanchez and she didn't and it cost her a lot!
a hit for an arsenal defender is even trickier to call!

internet_user

taken a -4 to bring in sanchez, something i should of done last week!

Myhil
Bellerin Skrtel Schlupp
Sanchez Hazard Fabregas Ozil
Kane Aguero(C) Austin

Davis, Walters, Cresswell, PVA

I don't think a hit for an Arsenal defender is a good move this week anyway, she has good options with all her defenders. Perhaps next week it could be justified if circumstances make it look like certain players will be guaranteed to start both. I think Bellerin is undoubtedly the fantasy jewel for Arsenal and a bettr player than Debuchy but the latter will need gametime before the end of the season and in reality Arsenal have little to play for.

My wife once beat me at a rifle shooting range in New Zealand and I sulked for days, she usually gets the better of me at scrabble but I don't take that well either. If she beat me at fantasy football I think it would be grounds for divorce.;)

just seen the last bit

Mr.Prodston

After last week I nearly feel like retiring from this season on a high :pac:

That and I can't figure out what the hell to do with Hazard, Henderbus, Skrtel and Ivanovic

MarkSRFC21

Panti or krul?

brought in bellerin for ivanovic to make funds for sterling to sanchez!

Little Bubbles

Will chelsea play cahil and terry or will zouma get a game. Luis will prob play also.

that will be a popular move for a lot I'd say this week and next !

Mr.Prodston

How does Hazard to Ozil sound and hoping for a 0-0 with Skrtel and Ivanovic playing?

Might play C Dawson over the Henderbus and double up on Pulisball.

That way I can pick my last Arsenal player next week. Theo came to me in a dream and told me to play him against Sunderland

yeah hopefully debuchy remains out for the remainder! or at least for the DGW!

FHFC

Wee bit worried about the dreaded 10 min cameo from Ramsey but have to play him really.

Kos in for Bertrand.

Myhil
Terry Kos Huth
Haz, Ramsey, Sanchez, Albrighton
Kane, Aguero (c), Benteke
Bolasie first sub if Rambo doesn't feature.


Intend to tune out for the rest of the day. Enjoy the agony and ecstasy on the thread.

See yis after motd.

Ziegler1988

Rolling with
Schmeichel
Terrivanovic Skrtel
Haz Silva Sanchez Hendo
Aguero(c) Vardy Kane

Sunderland cleanie in the early match would be a crap start with Panti+PVA on the bench

My missus made a team 10 GWs or so and I'm only 10 points ahead.......

And this is exactly what I've done :cool:

Myhill
Dawson - Ivanovic - Skrtel - Schlupp
Ozil - Silva - Sanchez
N'Doye - Benteke - Aguero (c)

Henderbus - Phillips - PVA

And yes I immediately regret making such a Hazardous decision

Lemlin

Magnificent Myhill
Kos Bertrand PVA
Hazard Silva Sanchez Mata
Giroud Aguero Kane

-4 taken.

Iago

Sold Hazard to fund Sanchez and avoid a -4.

It's a thin line between genius and madness in this game.

I must be one of the few people will a player from each side in this! Fingers crossed i'm not going into the 3pms with 4 points hate it when that happens.

Necronomicon

Myhill
Alder Terry Bellerin
Hazard Fabregas Silva Ozil
Kane Aguero(c) Benteke

Mignolet, Albrighton, C.Dawson, Wolly
_______________________________

I'd nearly bet on Newcastle getting a poxy goal now that I'm playing Myhill for the first time in weeks. I brought Benteke in as a blocker, he killed me last week.

Iused2likebusts

Did Dawson to kos and sterling to Ozil with my 2 fts.
Myhill
kos ivan alder
sanchez Ozil hazard Hendo
ndoye aguero kane

A southampton goal and a Benteke blank would make my day.

CSF

Has it been noticed that Hazard isn't in the squad posted by all the various media sources? Itv/express have a squad list (not sure where they get them) and he isn't in it

SlickRic

Shít.

Left Zaha in my team over Sterling.

Not sure why I've done that.

Not the worst decision. Sterling struggling for form, Zaha looking to prove himself against former club

Probably just so that on the off chance they are right then they can go as we said days ago Hazard is not in the squad and if he is in the squad then not many will have noticed their "provisional" squad that they then go and change!

Yeah no Hazard seemingly.

Fúck.

Should've kept Cesc when bringing in Ozil.

Where are you getting that from? I did Cesc out instead too dammit!

But they're all doing it. And there's no mention of it in their articles so they're not exactly trying to claim an exclusive. Possibly an accidental omission by one that has been copied and pasted by all, or possibly, he may actually not be in the squad.

The Magnificent Falcowboys

Is Ramsey out

Highly doubtful

If Ramsey and Hazard miss out I'll be playing the unorthodox 5-2-3 formation this week

Yeh they don't highlight just throw it in at the end so its not so obvious! Guardian have him starting so hopefully they are right!

I took him out this week and my rival has him so I'm hoping he misses out. I'd love to know what the source of those provisional squad lists is, if you've got that, you could probably answer the question definitively.

how does everyone have all this chelsea and arsenal team news ? Chelsea not playing till tomorrow at 4 and Arsenal not playing till Monday night
