None of the regulars here had Vardy, did they? I can't recall seeing any in RMT's anyway.

I did. Didn't post many rmts.

Not been online much today so not been matchday thread either.

Went with....

Elliott/Speroni (aka risky and riskier)
Cedric, Kompany, Jones, (Mee, Long)
KdB, Alli, Tadic, Fraser (Carroll)
Aguero, Vardy, Lukaku (c)

Rotating Mee and Fraser initially.

Changed Kolasinac out to Kompany last minute as I feared he might not start or at best be in back 3. Pity but given how bad Arsenal were defensively not panicking yet.

Fair play to anyone with Vardy. In hindsight it was a great shout. I was blinded by Jesus, I won't be the first or the last to be

He used to be good at curing blindness
PS Vardy in 5% of teams

I'm presuming there are price rises and falls tonight?

Usually takes a couple of days before a player hits the required amount to trigger a rise/fall

Fair play mate! It was a very brave call given their fixtures and he's not someone I even considered for a second, but you must be licking your lips now with Brighton (H) to come next week for him.

Did you have a plan on how long to hold him for with them playing Arsenal, United, Chelsea and Liverpool in 4 of their first 6 or just going with the flow?

Well done on vardy. Knowing your love of price rises was it a Price rise gamble move with gw2 captaincy in mind .

Scratch that

GW rank 2.1 million, Overall rank 2.28 million.

How does that happen with zero points?

Same here. Possibly people who have already taken a - 4?

This game never ceases to amaze me.

Top score 69 points with Vardy TC.

TV £80m
ITB £20m

Highest points scored so far is 69.

They had Vardy triple captained

Maybe you are behind the players who only created a team since the game re-opened?

And after the six who played for him tonight the rest of his squad should return maybe 2 points (Romeu).

Missed with my team on the last minute when Lanzeti was injured and instead of just changing him changed a defender Fuchs and put him in. Could have been worse

Maybe they didn't use the tc like my good self. Anyway it is scandalous and outrageous

I reckon Vardy is a fixture proof player if he continued the form he showed under Shakespeare last season. I fancied him over Benteke etc for first 2 at least with the captaincy option GW2. I can ship for Kane GW3 by downgrading Alli to the performing 5.5mid as one option. But if he keeps playing that way he's seriously value at 8.5m

Bit of both yeah. Think it was actually a comment from you that made me reconsider having no Friday night players. And Vardy if he did anything tonight was a good punt for early bandwagon.

It's a team made just to be top tonight, three arsenal, three Leicester, a chip used and 20 million in the bank

: Chicarito may start from the bench: "He is not 100%, for me. But he does look sharp and his movement is top class, exceptional." #WHUFC

Good stuff.

Also interested to watch Wijnaldum @ £7m playing as a 10?

ScummyMan

300,000 Milner owners. That's a bizarre one dropping him for Moreno.

gammygils

No Milner? Bollocks anyway. RLC 1st sub

spock.

I'd expect Milner to come on at some point.

It also means Milner is a midfielder in Klopp's eyes now. So he won't play every week by any means.

Firmino just became ever more valuable.

Hindsight is a great thing, but given Coutinho's situation, Lallana injured, Keita not bought...Milner will be MF majority of the time now. Which means he won't be nailed on IMO.

Chesty08

3 players and one a captain in this game.

Will be glued to this game!!
