GW8 Match Day Thread.

Not a great GW so far. 30 points with 1 to come of the bench and Firmino to play tonight. Could have been a lot worse though as its only seen me drop from 480K to 540K overall and even has me moving up in two private leagues :pac:

Swiper the fox

35 with a -4. Now into the 4ks with Firmino to play. Walcott was part of the -4 so can't complain. The missed pennos were my downfall as well. Early days so still delighted with the season so far.

Can anyone beat 21 (-8)?

Valencia, Lallana, and Rashford to go. Not expecting that ramshackle bunch of misfits to scrape more than 4 or 5 points among them, but I do have the cushion of Amat to come off the bench with his single point haul.

There is someone in the pay league here that scored 17 points and has 18 on his bench

Ouch!!!

Mr.Prodston

45 points thanks to Theo and Holebas mainly.

I'm annoyed at myself that I went for Benteke over Austin, it was quite a points swing for a marginal call. That's the game though.

Back inside 100k for now at 94k with Firminho to play tonight.

DarraghF197

65 points all out. Been busy these days only transferred players on the Saturday morning. Lanzini and Holebas the stars with Lukaku, Cameron, Costa and San(C)hez picking up points as well.

Was worried Lanzini wouldn't start but the opposite happened thank god! Hopefully it's a turning point for his season.

I have 13. A lot riding on tonights game. Zlatan,Rashers and Milner. I was coasting a couple of private leagues but a few lads behind me didn't have Kun and captained the likes of Lukaku etc. More red arrows than an air show this GW.

I was coasting all my private leagues 2 GW's ago. I'm now mid-table obscurity in them all

As a Utd fan, Moreno playing is excellent. If he kept his place Id consider Milner more stongly. Only having him for pens wouldn't get enough points over the season IMO

callaway92

Is Lallana on the bench?

31(-8) with Valencia and Firmino to go. The -8 was Zlats and Rom to Kun and Tekkers - what a gas. This game is absolutely mental tho - form of alot of players is up and down like a yo-yo, and each week it looks like there's another 2 must haves. Never has the game been harder and more unpredictable. I like that though. And the way things are a good gw or 3 will see you shoot up the rankings. You just have to keep plugging away

Llalana on bench

So Leicestershire Reds get it wrong, https://twitter.com/AnfieldExpress had it but I probably won't trust any more leaked lineups

The thinking is Mourinho is trying to expose pools severe limitations at defensive set pieces
Ibra headers please !
Pogba has been VERY dangerous from them recently too

Kind of nervous now Valencia may get a bumper score
I always played joses Chelsea defenders in these big games
But this United team is not built to get nils!

Need a firminio blank badly
Or even if Ibra can just match him that would be fine
God I'll be awful nervous if Ibra steps up to take a pen
