Gameweek 17 Matchday Thread

Big Borg

Looking closely at Kun. Is he ready to be transferred in or does he need time to get back to full form. Does it even matter? The primary Forwards that most are playing remain in form. I will probably wait until the next half. Thoughts?

The rules of this Fantasy League divides the season in two:

• When can I play a wildcard?
• The Wildcard chip can be used twice a season, once in the first half of the season (before 28 Dec 14:00) and once in the second half of the season.
  Wildcards are played on the transfers page but aren't active until you have confirmed the transfers.

Schmeichel - Bertrand Surman Richards


Semi confident going into this week. Kane captain is a bit of a gamble but it could pay off handsomely. Qualifying for the cup is also on the agenda.

The odds favor Lukaku. He's playing a Home game. Kane an Away game.

Yes true but that's often of little consequence.

Aye but home to the best team in the league versus being away to a team who are in dreadful form at the moment. I'm tempted to go Kane too.

Maybe you've already used it but if that was my team I'd be using the bench boost chip. Even without an Arsenal midfielder, it's a really strong squad.

gammygils

Haven't used Bench Boost. Thought about it. No faith in City without Kompany. Reckon Arsenal will win easily. As for Coutinho! And Smalling is doubtful

ItsChecoTime

Tbh as long as Jack Butland concedes I'll probably consider it a great week..

Swiper the fox

I'd say I'll start Myhill over Butland as well so will be hoping for Stoke to concede after I finally got it right with Butland last week.
I'd imagine we'll have an idea whether Hazard is in the squad well before 2pm???? If he's not I'll probably replace him, tough call who to bring in though.

Benimar

Going with:

DeGea
Dawson, VVD, Moreno
KDB, Ozil, Mahrez, Barkley
Lukaku (c), Vardy, Ighalo (vc)

McCarthy, Kolarov, Francis, Westwood.

Hoping for goals in the Everton and Arsenal games!

Definitely looking at a -4 next week to clean up my defence/bench.

richieffff

Can't decide between Kolorov or Bellerin, already have Cech in goal so I'm leaning towards Kolorov just to cover both sides

ScummyMan

Stupidly played my bench boost last night so I have 10 players playing at 3pm today, have the emergency services at the ready.

km79

2 FT made and a few surprises for my rivals hopefully
although nobody will be as surprised as me that somehow mata is still in my team
anyway my Xmas wish list
1. Watford pool - nil all
2. Goalfest at goodison
3. Nil all at the Emirates
4. Mata to remember he is a good footballer

Best of of luck to everyone

you can cancel bench boost

I went in deep and made 3 transfers in preparation for it so I think il just leave it run, I know if I cancel it then they'll all score big :pac:

DarraghF197

Just realised there's 6 matches with some big names at 3 o'clock. I really hope I won't have to miss it!

Myhill
Bellerin Bertie Moreno
Coutinho Ramsey (C) Özil Deulofeu Mahrez
Ighalo Vardy

Gomes Kane Souare McAuley

Still undecided with my line-up, especially the defence. It's likely all three of my defenders will miss out on CS's.

Necronomicon

Can't remember the last GW I had so little confidence in a decent haul.

Myhill
Kolarov Smalling Bellerin
Coutinho KDB Ozil Mahrez
Vardy Lukaku Kane

Hennessey, Nyom, Moreno, Wanyama

Really torn over Kol & Bellerin vs. Nyom & Moreno.

Kolarov Bellerin Moreno Alder

Cabaye Fletcher O'Shea


Any opinion on my Starting XI/ subs? Is 4 at the back the right way to go ?

I'd certainly start Cabaye over Kokorov and probably Bellerin also if you feel more positive about one over the other. A nil-nil draw is hard to see on Monday night and I assume Cabaye is still on penno's and set pieces.

Fúck it. Got Baines in for over Christmas. I've never had him in all my years of FF.

DDG
Moreno Baines Bellerin
Mahrez Ozil Coutinho (c) Bolasie

McCarthy Alli Nyom Naughton

I still might switch the captaincy to Lukaku.

Despite that fact, Leicester dont do clean sheets. Nobody is rushing in for their defenders or keeper.

Alderweireld Ward Zouma
KDB Ozil Mahrez Deulofeu

McCarthy Bertrand Bellerin Westwood

Had a dream last night that Zouma scored..

km79

just seen a stat that made me happy
mata has 4 goals in 6 games against the canaries
it's fair to say he is a differential for me at this stage too

Mr.Prodston

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

Elliot: Alli - Bertrand - Davies

This is the week that Mahrez ends his run I guess or Vardy scores 10 :pac: The Henderbus will rescue me though.

El Horseboxo

I've 2 FT this week and no idea what to do with them. At present my team is:

DDG

Azpi Rose Moreno Richards Ward
Hazard Ozil Mahrez KdB Westwood
Vardy Kane Lukaku

In 2 minds to ship Hazard out in case he doesn't play. But to who? Or I could use 1 FT to move on an injured Richards to maybe a Stoke or West Brom defender.

Neoulous

I should play Cédric ahead of Sagna but the latter playing against his former club make sme hesitate... Should I just forget about the players often scoring against their former club thing ?

Which 3 Defenders?

Sagna, Bellerin, Moreno, Alderweireld, Zouma

C'mon lads, somebody has to know by now whether Hazard is putting his boots on or not????

We have 8 of the same players in our starting 11 (counting dawson / evans as the same !) yet there is about 1.4m places seperating us in OR!! The last 8 weeks has seen me go from 200k to 1.45m, never had a run like it before but it has to change soon!

Myhill
Bellerin Dawson Wollsheid
Mahrez(vc) KdB Özil Coutinho
Kane Lukaku(c) Agüero

McCarthy- Ward - van Dijk - Anya

Dawson back in for Bassong this week. Switched captaincy from Mahrez to Lukaku. Need to offload Anya soon. He generally plays 90 mins most of the time but never scores big points (I suppose that's what you want from bench fodder - might get annoying having points left on the bench every week!). 1FT banked.

Wow that's some drop. Hopefully the turnaround start's today.

I dreamed that Sterling scored a header from a corner and I was celebrating till replays showed it was an OG coming of the defenders head.

Psychologist would have a field day with that one!!

Feels good to take the armband off Kane at 1pm.

Thank God for the late kick off:D

Bookies aren't always right. If they were we wouldn't even use these threads.

Anybody got an opinion or helpful insight?

FHFC

Having second thoughts about plying Souaré over Alderweireld. Hmm.

Southampton out of form but still expect them to score at home. Souare seems to only ever get returns when in my bench.
