Gameweek 25 Matchday Thread

Lukaku been dropping like a $2 prostitute so need him to bag a goal today to stop the e free fall....

Necronomicon

I've been having a bad couple of FPL weeks and feeling a bit despondent towards it - culminating in a panic and downright bad use of my WC during the week (could have taken a -8 this week with no sweat) - so need something big today.

Cech
Dier Cedric Daniels
Payet Sanchez Silva Mahrez
Aguero Lukaku Kane

Hennessey, Simpson, Wanyama, Evans

Could have a lot of attack vs defence conflicts today: Cedric v Payet, Sanchez v Daniels, and potentially Silva/Aguero v Simpson if Lukaku doesn't make it.

Texas Jack

Had a shocker this week (48 points)

Balls deep on Captain Kun and hoping my Giroud/Firmino/Silva axis might be a differential in my league

Cartman78

Going with this lot --

Butland

Simpson Toby Fonte

Alli Mahrez Firminio Sanchez Payet

Aguero Kane

Brought in Kane for Lukaku this week but giving the armband to Firminio -- dropped 100k places midweek so need to think outside the box a bit....chances are I'll probably drop another 100k :-)

Benimar

Lloris
Bellerin, Moreno, Dawson
Ozil, Payet, Firmino, Mahrez, Alli
Aguero (c), Kane

McCarthy, Ighalo, Francis, Simpson

Still not 100% set. Currently benching Ighalo but Payet or Mahrez are options too.

In general, I'd normally go for the home player in defence. Though with shawcross missing Stokes cleansheet chances are lessened.

Payet had been playing much deeper in the last few games so his attacking potential is slightly reduced.

Elliot
Vvd Williams Daniels
Ozil sanchez mahrez Alli
Kane aguero lukaku
Payet on the bench. Aguero capt. Going to keep my 2nd ft. Atleast the lukaku injury and exodus has broken up the template. Things were getting very boring.

spock.

"Tottenham Hotspur midfielder Dele Alli should return to the starting line-up despite coming off at half-time in the midweek 3-0 win at Norwich City. Having undergone tests this week no problem was found and he should start against Watford."

I currently have him on my bench. Payet was there last night. I'm still unsure what to do.

Lights On

Butland
Toby, Cresswell, PVA
Sanchez, Mahrez, Alli, Payet, Firmino(c)
Rooney, Aguero

Need a big one after a nightmare last week!

I'm not even considering not starting Alli

Always start Alli imo.

What more does he have to do?

always alli

So one of Willian or mahrez

Is he fit to play? Best I could find is 50/50 .

He trained yesterday per PhysioRoom.

Payet or Ighalo to bench??

Benching Payet at the moment, but the more I think about it I fancy a Spurs clean sheet....

Paully D

-4.

Forster
Williams Dier Bellerin
Mahrez Payet Alli Ozil
Aguero (C) Lukaku Kane

Subs: Elliot, Stanislas, Evans, Wollschied

Every outfield player on my bench is injured with Lukaku and Alli flagged (though expected to play). It could be a rough week. Ozil to Sanchez with my FT next week barring anything else happening.

Looks like we're the only two plebs/geniuses with Firminio as captain :-)

You still have time to change your mind, I'm fully expecting it to backfire spectacularly :pac:

It's a gamble alright whichever way you look at it but would be a huge differential if he has a half decent return (and avoids taking his jersey off to celebrate his hattrick goal)

Torricelli

Courtois
Alderweireld Bellerin Ward
Sanchez Ozil Alli Payet
Lukaku Aguero(c) Kane

McCarthy Mahrez Smith Targett

Needless to say, I'll be behind the couch for the City v Leicester game. A Leicster blank would be excellent.

DarraghF197

Butland
Bellerin Toby Bertrand
Mahrez San(c)hez Payet Alli
Aguero Kane Paloschi

Have a good feeling (as always) about this week, hopefully it won't turn out to be the opposite again.

Elliot Mahrez Daniels Cresswell

Mr.Prodston

De Gea
Dawson - PVA - Davies
Silva - Alli - Mahrez - Arnie
Lukaku - Kane - Aguero (c)

Elliott : Payet - Daniels - Souare

Payet on the bench because if I change my mind I'll get it wrong. Ideally somebody actually won't play and my worries will be for nothing!

spock.

City XI: Hart, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Demichelis, Kolarov, Toure (C), Fernandinho, Silva, Delph, Sterling, Aguero #cityvlcfc #mcfc

City: Schmeichel, Simpson, Morgan (c), Huth, Fuchs, Mahrez, Kante, Drinkwater, Albrighton, Okazaki, Vardy. #MncLei

caviardreams

Literally just made the switch from Payet on bench to Ighalo on the bench and clicked on confirm team but didn't realise it had just gone 11:45 and just missed the deadline.

C'mon Watford :rolleyes:

Last minute captain change from Kane back to Aguero. Didn't have the balls to go against Kun.

Forster
Bertie Azpilicueta PVA
Mahrez Sanchez Alli Payet
Aguero Kane Lukaku

Arnie, Francis, Huth

2nd Row Donkey

Don't expect Alli to score the same kind of hauls as his last two games but he shud do well all the same.

I have him starting but it was him vs Albrighton so I went with the home player.

Benched Mahrez.
Captained Sanchez over Aguero.
Sold Lukaku for Austin.

There will be regrets no doubt.

Unlikely you'll get satisfaction from all three anyway.:P
Ighalo and Mahrez are both on my bench.

I worry when you bench Mahrez because I did also, it was the correct call imo.

Captain Sanchez for me

Jurgen Klopp will miss Liverpool v Sunderland after a suspected bout of appendicitis #LFC

Ace2007

couldn't decide what to do last night, and so Firminio is on my bench again - bought him last GW and still haven't actually played him - at least i got the price rises i suppose.

Ace2007

Wonder does this mean Aguero will be taken off early if they are winning, or rested in some games

Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini, speaking to BT Sport: "We only have 14 players and we have nine games in February, we have to use all the players.
