GW21 Match Day Thread

F1ngers

Am finalizing my wildcard team, only definite is Aguero is captain.

Good luck all - especially early wildcarders.

Cantona's Collars

My midfield is causing me a headache,KDB,Mahrez,Ozil,Alli......I have Arnautovic on my bench so who do I leave out if I want him in? I'm keeping my front 3 in play so dropping one of Kane,Aguero,Lukaku is not an option.

Lemlin

Bit early for this is it not? Would have preferred the chat to continue in the transfer thread for another bit.

Anyway, my team:

De Gea
Alder Nyom Bellerin
KDB Ozil Mahrez Alli
Aguero Kane Lukaku
Hennessy, Dawson, Simpson, Wanyama.

2 transfers used. 2 million still banked.

Necronomicon

Hennessey
Bellerin Wolly Alder
Willian Ozil KDB Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Kane

Myhill, Moreno, Nyom, Wanyama

Starting on -4 for the first time in about 2 months. Still torn between Aguero and Kane for captain.

Who to drop from

Mahrez - Kdb - Ozil - Payet - alli
Lukaku - kun - Kane

Thinking Alli atm but am wary as he stung me last week

the incredible pudding

Hmmm.... Hennessey or Cech, Hennessey or Cech....

Currently on

Hennessey
Alder Kol Wollsh
Mahrez Ozil Payet KDB
Aguero(c) Kane Lukaku (Stanislas first sub)

Pool do look pretty threadbare in attack (especially with the injuries) but have a tendency to play well against the good teams, maybe I should go with Cech (added emotional insurance too)

Henny since they're playing the worst team in the league

I'm going Butland over Hennessey would you agree with that?

My team this week:

Butland
Bellerin, Alder, Smith
Payet, Ozil, KDB, Mahrez
Aguero, Lukaku, Kane
(Hennessey, Stanislas, Dawson, Simpson)

OneColdHand

Need to decide who to play out of O'Shea, Dawson and Simpson. O'Shea has the best clean sheet odds, but is flagged as injured. Simpson has better odds than Dawson, but wondering if I should trust Pulisball?

Lights On

Butland
Kolarov, Cresswell, Alder
Ozil, KDB, Payet, Alli
Aguero(c), Ighalo

That's what I have so far, still one spot to be filled and I'm not sure if it'll be Mahrez or Lukaku, though I'm edging towards Lukaku right now!

Jaggo

DeGea,
Bellerin, Alder, Ward,
KDB (C), Ozil, Payet, Alli,
Lukaku, Igalo, Kane.

Subs: Hennessy, Marhez, Dawson, Moreno

the groutch

defence of

Dann, Cresswell, Kolarov, Bellerin, Dier

not sure which two to bench

Mine is

Mahrez - kdb - Ozil - Arnautovic - Alli
Lukaku - Kun - Ighalo

And I'm currently benching Lukaku :eek:

Thinking away to Man City, slight injury. Might be rested or given limited game time in order to make sure he's fit for more important upcoming games (the league Cup) for example

Bench one. Captain one.

Alli, Mahrez, Ozil, KDB, Payet, Aguero, Lukaku, Kane.

I can't see Payet getting 90 minutes and Bournemouth have been solid of late. I'd bench him.
Aguero captain

CSF

Interesting. People are expecting Payet to get enough minutes to drive home his class advantage then? That was my worry and why he was edging the battle so far. I'd have been expecting a relatively early substitution unless West Ham are chasing the game and even then it's still possible.

Form over fixtures?

Mr.Prodston

Oh wise and noble members of the FSA I come to ye seeking guidance about my futures exploits. It's quite a quandary I find myself in and have sought refuge in the comforting hearth of our kingdom. What doth one do in this position?

De Gea
Souare - Davies - Rangel
Ozil - Alli - Mahrez - Arnie
Lukaku - Kane - Aguero

Elliot: Theo - Moreno - Dawson

In my possession is a solitary bartering order designated by the FPL king with strict orders from my Lord not to bench Mahrez. By doing so one would be punished by hat-trick to the bench. An underperforming Theo may be on the chopping block.

The wise old proverb also states: "Thou bencheth Pulisball at ones peril, especially when they venture to the noble capital seeking only to escape with their sheet clean."

What say ye?

CSF

I'd bench Arnautovic quicker than I would Mahrez to be honest.

Ok yous are freaking me out now, I'm probably gonna have to bench Payet despite getting him in this week.

Leicesters attacking stats have been brutal the last few weeks indicating that teams are sitting off them somewhat and their counterattacking game is struggling. All logical analysis of my team would suggest benching Mahrez over Payet or Alli or Arnie.

But hes fooking Mahrez. His wrath is fearsome. I have scars.

bohsman

Benching Mahrez for the 3rd week in a row.

CSF

I've never benched Mahrez. I have no scars and I don't want any now. It's Alli or Payet for me.

Aguero captain

I'd also bench him ahead of Alli. Having said that, I'm in a similar position and benching Alli out of my mids as it's him or Arnie that are for the chop, and Arnie is home to Norwich.
