Gameweek 16 Matchday Thread

Scorpion Sting

Going with the following:

Butland
Souaré - Moreno - Bertrand
De Bruyne - Mahrez - Ozil - Coutinho
Lukaku - Kane (c) - Vardy

Schmeichel - Surman - Dawson - Richards

I need a big week to get my season back on track, hoping this is it.

Good luck all.

spock.

AOA

Mignolet
Bellerin Dier
Mahrez Eriksen Coutinho Ozil Barkley
Lukaku Kane(c) Vardy

-4 hit

ElTel

Butland
Toby Daniels Coleman
Mane KDB Ozil (vc) Mahrez
Lukaku (c) Vardy Aguero
Henny Bolasie Berty Ward.

I'm taking a chance with Bournemouth against the second string United D and 'cos I think/hope there will be goals for both sides in the CP/Saints game. Bolasie as a no. 10 hopefully will cover Kun and the -4 start.
Good luck players.

Still going without Kane, it's more stubbornness than anything at this stage I think, hopefully Alli can do the business for me again!

Myhill
Ake, Kolarov, ?
Ozil, Alli, Mahrez, KDB
Vardy, Lukaku, Giroud

Will be taking a -4 at some point to bring in a new defender, no idea who yet though!

Still to use my 2nd transfer. Ramsey sterling and coutinho all under consideration.

Good luck to all except the fella 19 points ahead of me at the top of our work league

Hogey007

opinions please, play Souare (h) to Southampton or Stones (a) to Norwich?

Not sure what the weather is like in England but if there is a possibility of games being called off make sure your C and VC are in different matches.

On different sides of the country IMO.

Cech
Bellerin Alder Moreno
Mahrez KdB Ozil Barkley
Lukaku Vardy Kane (c)

McCarthy Sagna Stanislas Hangeland

Toss up between Bellerin and Sagna really.
Think I made the right choice by doubling on Arsenal defence?

Lemlin

De Gea
Bertie Bellerin Kol
Ozil KDB Mahrez Coutinho
Kane Lukaku Vardy

Hennessy, Nyom, Souare, Wanyama

Transfer banked. Huge amount of cash in the bank.

Well Lukaku is playing like him at the minute!

Fixed!

remoteboy

Tempted to play my AOA. Can't decide between 7 of
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Coutinho, Barkley, Vardy, Lukaku and Kane.

Defence would be 2 from Dier, Toby, Bellerin and Ward.

OneColdHand

Trying to figure out if I should bench bolasie or ighalo.

Any opinions?!

djPSB

Butland or De Gea?

Ighalo for me although both have form and fixture on their side. Who would you have to drop to squeeze both in?

EDIT: Ig to start that is.

Of those two I'd bench bolasie

Any advice guys?
Are City more likely to keep a clean sheet?

It's a toss up between them for me, both have a good chance of a clean sheet this week and both can get you attacking points as well. I'd edge it to Kolarov though purely based on his goal threat.

SlickRic

No City coverage is going to screw me.

And I'd deserve it.

Hoping for a miracle.

CS is marginal between them. I'd slightly favour Bellerin but I have no problem doubling up.

If it was Kolarov then he'd definitely have the edge its Sagna though! I have Super Kol as captain in UFPL wouldn't surprise me if he keeps it to himself this week!

Mr.Prodston

Ayew away to City is the kind of game he's likely to produce the goods based on the fact I'm considering benching him to bring in Silva for Brady for -4? All the while keeping Hazard and playing him.

Saturday morning spur of the moment transfers never end well......or do they?

As it stands:

De Gea
Souare - Dawson - Moreno
Mahrez - Alli - Ayew - Hazard
Giroud - Lukaku - Kane (c)

Elliot: Brady - Bertrand - Davies

Whoops, bit of a brain dead moment there

Dr. Bre

Giroud in. Took captaincy off rom and put it on Harry Kane. Newcastle ability to collapse influenced that decision

Cypher_sounds

Myhill
Alder - Sagna - Bertrand/Bellerin
De Bruyne - Mahrez - Ozil - Coutinho
Lukaku - Kane (c) - Vardy

What could possibly go wrong..right!


Bellerin away to villa or Bertrand away to palace, opinions?

I have Cech so going with Sagna for now.

Spread the love around!

Me neither.
In fact I have no one in the 3 o'clock games or the late game.

Probably Barkley. Though I don't have lukaku, so want to play barkley to try and cover him.

dahat

De Gea

Toby, Bertrand, Moreno

KDB, Ozil, Barkley, Mahrez

Deeney, Kane, Lukaku

All for a - 4, team looks strong on paper so hoping for a Kane riot and a big score.

I'd bench Barkley personally. Pretty close though.

Bleating Lamb

Have any people used their AOA chip?....
Don't think it's really worth keeping for a DGW so thinking of using it today.

De Gea
Bellerin Alderweirald
Ozil KDB Barkley Alli Mahrez
Kane(c) Lukaku Vardy.

Appreciate any views on using AOA with that line up.

billymitchell

I'm dropping Mahrez for Barkley, just to have Everton cover. Hopefully I don't rue the mistake of dropping mahrez like so many last week

Butland
Beller,dann,cathcart
Ozil, Barkley, kdb,cout
Ig, vardy, kane

Subs: Mahrez, vvd,dawson

I'd still keep it in case of an injury crisis at the back thats when its most valuable imo. Given your players it does look like a good week to use it I'd toss a coin on whether to AOA or bench Vardy!

If you think its a mistake now then start Mahrez. Its close but I think I would be favouring him this week.

IsMiseMyself

I'm not looking forward to this. I've fallen week-on-week for a while now and while I'd love a good week, I had to take a -4 just to field 11 and I still have Sturridge sitting on my bench.

Fair point, but mistake might be the wrong word for me to use, but I don't see anybody to drop for him without sacrificing in form Everton cover against Norwich

I would be benching Barkley but as I say I think its very close so comes down to personal preference really.

km79

really wanted ali but I've decided to bank it and try and roll a transfer over again next week barring injuries . may take a -4 then for Xmas

de gea
kolarov bellerin moreno
kdb mahrez mata ozil
vardy lukaku Kane captain

nyom first sub if defenders or kdb gets rotated and I'd be happy enough for him to come in as I've benched all bar one of his clean sheets ! other playing sub is surman .........solid 2 pointer
be really really nice for both mata and kdb to play and out up big scores as my team is identical to most except them two

Lights On

TEAM: Rudd; Wisdom, Martin (c), Bassong, Olsson; Redmond, O'Neil, Tettey, Brady; Hoolahan; Jerome. #ncfc

Howard, Coleman, Stones, Mori, Baines, Cleverly, Barry, Deulofeu, Barkley, Kone, Lukaku

irish son

DDG
Moreno Kolarov Ward
Deulofeu Bolasie Ramsey Hazard
Lukaku Kane (c) Deeney

Mahrez Bertrand Richards

Taking a big gamble benching Mahrez but what the hell, I can't see myself being punished like people last week were. Ward and Bertrand was 50/50 so went with the home team.

Hoping azpi starts or he's gone. Also banking on Harry to do the business against the toon, who are on a high after beating Liverpool.

ScummyMan

I can't understand how people can justify dropping the best midfielder in the game off the back of a hat trick.

spock.

Let's hope he punishes them.
