Gameweek 14 Matchday Thread

Scorpion Sting

Going with the following:

Pickford
Evans Friend Pieters
Sanchez Sigurdsson Firmino Pedro
Aguero Kane Austin

Heaton - de Roon Williams Amat


Undecided on who to captain between Sanchez and Kane. It'll probably be an 11:29 job. Good luck folks.

-4, AOA

Foster
Clyne Alonso
Eriksen Firmino Hazard Özil Allen
Costa Kane(C) Austin

Best of luck to everyone except my h2h opponents!

ScummyMan

If KDB doesn't start tomorrow then I'm going to be angry.

spock.

Foster
Alonso Koscielny Brunt
Mane Firmino San(c)hez Pedro Snodgrass
Aguero Austin
(Anichebe Mee Amat)

Didn't take a hit for Kane after getting burned at the start of the season by going with Kane over Ibra. He'll probably burn me again with a hat trick today.

iroced

Think I'll go with

Foster
McAuley Alonso/Holebas Pieters
Sanchez (VC) Pedro Firmino Siggy
Aguero Kane (C) Austin
Jaku ; De Roon, Amat


Now. Let's try defy the (G)od(d)s to help out FHFC and my FSA friends (and myself)...
Since captain obvious Kane has 0 chance of scoring and Swansea are guaranteed an unexpected CS, I shall end up with...

Foster
McAuley Alonso/Holebas Pieters Amat (TC)
Sanchez (VC) Pedro Firmino Siggy
Aguero Austin
Jaku ; De Roon, Kane

Foster

Cedric Pieters Brunt

Mane Firmino Siggy Allen

Costa Kane(C) Aguerooooo

Subs: Jakupovic Capoue A.Smith Amat


Yet more hits but first time I've been happy with my team in a long while. Went with Siggy over Pedro in the end.

Lack of Arsenal cover still an issue but you can't have it all I guess.

Stuck at 400k OR so hoping that this hit works in a spectacular fashion

wrestlemaniac

On a -4 and going with

Foster
Holebas Lovren Pieters
Hazard Firmino Sanchez Walcott
Anichebe Aguero Kane (c)

Jaku Mee Clayton Amat

-8

Foster
Alonso Cedric Lovren

Not overly optimistic with no Arsenal cover.

Lot of people with Kane, making me nervous.

Same here. I've had about 10 different versions of my team since Sunday with Kane in it and not happy with any of them. (Barring ones which involve -12 or -16 to get it that way)

bantee

Banked the transfer this week but ideally I would've liked to fit in Kane for this fixture:

Foster
Alonso Pieters Smith
Hazard San(C)hez Siggy Firmino
Anichebe Lukaku Aguero

Went with Smith over Holebas, gambling on attacking returns and hoping Foster keeps a CS.

Hogey007

Are people with heaton/pickford going with heaton away to stoke or pickford at home to Leicester?
I know the choice will be taken away from us if Heaton doesn't recover.
I'm leaning towards heaton myself but they have generally been poor away from home & old Trafford.

Cech

Pickford de Roon Holebas Amat

Lots of hits this week.

Iused2likebusts

There is definetly a template team forming.

km79

All 11 of my players will have played today if i start kone !!!!!!!!
The only way will be down after this evenings game
I'll most likely be starting Adam smith over him though
In fact I think I now have a decision to make between kone and holebas
Holebas has been a start every week defender for me when fit due to his attacking output but has been poor last few weeks
So.................
Kone or holebas ?
I'm going to start smith

Mr. Guappa

Pickford
Alonso Lovren Smith
SanChez Walcott Firmino Sigurdsson Chadli
Aguero Anichebe

Heaton, Deeney, Holebas, Amat

FHFC

Absolutely. Said it a few days ago. Ibra (or possibly Mkhitaryan) will smash it wide open in a couple weeks though I reckon.

My current side is below but I intend to have the same front 7 as you next week.

But Ibra for Kane/Aguero or Mkhitaryan for Firmino may be considered from GW16.

Pickford (Karius)
Brunt, Chambers, Cedric (Cameron, Amat)
Hazard, Pedro, Firmino, Snoddy (Capoue)
Aguero, Kane, Austin

Struggling with this my self. Suppose the simple logic is play the home keeper but it will depend on the fixture.

I've chosen Pickford this week. Tough call.

Good news for grant owners
Bad news for me
#SCFC keeper Jack Butland pulled out of his planned comeback game following an ankle injury. He was due to play in the U23 match at Reading. https://t.co/mpBDyGWSTx

clairewithani

Pickford or Courtois guys?

Ziegler1988

Grant
Pieters Holebas Evans
Can Firmino Hazard Sanchez(c)
Kane Aguero Austin

At the London Stadium today, so will be even better/worse depending on how Alexis does. Will need to see the effective ownership for Kane, but would rather he stopped at a brace max

ElTel

Pickford
Kosc Francis Pieters
Hazard Firmino Siggy KDB
Zlatan (c) Costa Negredo

Mannone Kightly Kingsley Britos

Transferred in Negredo for Deeney. Conte's vague comments on a few injury concerns has me worried especially with my "bench" and of course no Kane or Sanchez.

Lemlin

Panic transfers of Hazard to Pedro and Williams to Alonso. Had 2 transfers.

Heaton
Alonso, Gibson, Evans
Pedro, Allen, Firmino, Sanchez
Austin, Costa, Kun

Pickford, Capoue, Amat, Holebas

I see that Firmino, Heaton and Holebas are all orange tagged. Hoping they play.

Why Hazard to Pedro? Is Hazard a doubt or something?

iroced

Is Firmino OK?

I'm debating Alonso vs Holebas. Alonso on at the moment. Am I right?

I would go Alonso too.

COH

Given the amount of Lukaku > Kane transfers its safe to say that Lukaku is going to fill his boots against Utd...

At which point I'll be high fiving my laptop with a chair.






Long story short: Should have banked the transfer and TC'd Lukaku

Iused2likebusts

I'd say there is a very slight chance Willian could get the nod ahead of Pedro today due to his workrate.

Cantona's Collars

Everyone transfers out Gundogan and like a magic troll,he starts today.

Iused2likebusts

No just amat. I sold jaku for Pickford this morning also.

gammygils

Took a hit to get rid of Gundog last night.
Just watch him score

Cantona's Collars

Chelsea with more away wins at City than any other EPL team.....Yes,I have somehow ended up with no City cover.

I was mulling about taking a -4 for Austin to Negredo but didn't bother in the end

All sorts of formations. I reckon he has two tombolas and has one full of formations and one full of players and after his coco pops, on game day, he plucks away.

Navas and Sane playing to exploit the space behind Alonso and Moses. Stinks of a nil nil already.
