Soccer Saturday with their stupid inaccurate shouting will be heartbreaking

Just looked at Chelsea's fixtures from next week to the end of the year...

29 Nov 19:45 14 Swansea (H)
02 Dec 12:30 15 Newcastle (H)
09 Dec 12:30 16 West Ham (A)
12 Dec 20:00 17 Huddersfield (A)
16 Dec 15:00 18 Southampton (H)
23 Dec 12:30 19 Everton (A)
26 Dec 15:00 20 Brighton (H)
30 Dec 15:00 21 Stoke (H)

That is an insanely good run with two home fixtures after Christmas against Brighton and Stoke. Morata is a must have, and I'm starting to worry about Hazard. There is huge clean sheet potential over those 8 games too

Going to see how long I can hold off, but looking at the following for a -12

Dann to Dunk
Jagielka to Klavan
Cork to Hazard
Firmino to Niasse

Which will leave me with

Elliott/Myhill
Dunk, Klavan, Gomez, Mariappa, Ward
Hazard, Sane, Salah, Zaha, Mahrez
Aguero, Jesus, Niasse

And then following weekend I'm thinking of Aguero/Jesus to Morata/Lukaku - either both or 1 of them.

Doubling up on Liverpool defenders craaazzy

The real mccoy 91

Kane is really starting to f*** me off for his price tag and with him looking as if he may not be 100% and a lot of fixtures coming up meaning he won't be guaranteed 90 mins I'm debating to give him one more chance this weekend or give up now

Cypher_sounds

Eriksen + Stones to Hazard + Mee.

Was thinking the same but I think in the long term he'll deliver plenty of big scores. Unless he gets a bad injury or suspension I'll prob have him for the season

Indeed....especially 2 that aren't necessarily first choice.

Moreno is the only one I'd tentatively recommend (I have him myself)....reasonably cheap, reasonably nailed on and has more attacking potential than the others.

The Jesus v Aguero talk from pep has me contemplating a -8 hit! My team needs some serious work to set it up for over xmas

Thinking Kun, Doucoure, Tom Carroll --> Sane, Pogba, Wilson - have 0.1 spare so can take one price rise for sane.

Have never done a -8 before :eek:

or might just do a -4 Kun & Carroll -- > Pogba/Sane (leaning to Pogba) and Wilson and then get Sane in the week after. Really want him in for Saints & W Ham at home.

Looking at a very similar move. The only thing that worries me is whether Wilson will be rotated a lot. He's just back from injury and they have Defoe, King, Afobe in that position.

Thanks - that's a good shout alright, though none of them have been setting the world alight so think Wilson might be ok for a few games anyway and then I can always move him on.

Arrrggghhh rotation this year is wrecking my head :mad:

While I would normally agree, the chances are at least one of them will play. And that was fitting Hazard into my team. Obv can't afford Moreno.

Fair enough...I'd say we'd all endure having Klavan in our squad if it meant getting Hazard in :pac:

Looking like Eriksen - Pogba.

Can't help but feel Eriksen is due a haul.

He got one last Tuesday - that will do him.

The Free Hit is basically methadone

Ace2007

Right looking at this again - not sold on Niaase - future playing time being the issue, so i'm looking at doing the following over next few GW's - thoughts

Dann to Dunk
Jagielka to Simpson
Cork to KDB
Aguero to Morata
Jesus to Vardy

Will leave me with

Elliott/Myhill
Dunk, Ward, Simpson, Mariappa, Gomez
KDB, Sane, Salah, Zaha, Mahrez
Vardy, Firmino, Morata.

I quite like that top 8 - although who to drop would be an issue.

Everton’s Oumar Niasse charged with 'successful deception of a match official' against Crystal Palace. He has until 6pm tonight to respond and faces a 2-match ban if found guilty https://t.co/Imd9CHgej0

Wilson /niasse debate over for now

Could they not wait til he rose again so I could profit first

callaway92

oh fck off. Last week I brought in Jones before he got injured for a -4

This week I brought in Niasse before he went up in price, also included in a -4

This game . . .

carnie

Downgrade one

Vertonghen
Monreal
Otamendi

I'm thinking Vertonghen, he's a solid defender but offers no attacking potential.

Did it really take them 3 days to decide it was a dive ?

Have they all talked ‘off camera’ and decided to make an example and now is a good time as it’s low profile foreigner ?

Disgraceful it took this long to charge him. I can only assume the already know what the result of the panel will be.

FWIW I didn’t think it was a dive. There was contact and he went down and how many times have we heard ‘there was contact and once that happens the forward is entitled to go down’.

Think he probably deserves to be charged, but yeah, surprised it took until now.

dsmythy

He could challenge it. Show the video where he is hit. We shall see.

gimli2112

Surprised he's been charged having seen it. It was a harsh penalty but I did think there was enough contact to dispute it as a dive. I'm all for going after divers but thought they could have gone after a more definite case. I seem to recall Bale diving at Anfield years ago with little or no fuss purely ridicule.

That’s not how these kind of people work.

They’ve made their mind up already as far as I’m concerned.

Once the player is charged then I expect the panel to do what they’re told.

MaxPower89

Did a double FT last night. Yoshida and Lowe out for Kolasinac and Daniels. Bit of a risk ahead of EL on Thursday but anyway.

May take a -4 if Abraham is out for Wilson - but hate doing -4s.

Probably not a discussion for this forum but I don't agree with this at all. It is possible for there to be contact AND for it to be a dive. Thats why the charge is for 'deception'.

If the panel decide that the actual challenge didn't warrant a penalty (and it clearly does not) then its fair to conclude that the only reason it was given was due to Niasse reaction, where he went down as if hit by a clothes line.

Other players probably would have gotten away with it, but the problem is them not getting 'done', not with Niasse being charged.

I’m confused. I think I agree with you.

The point I’m making is that the people judging are influenced by who the player is.

The line ‘there was contact and he is entitled to go down’ would be applied to some players and not others.

Harry Kane ‘wins’ that penalty. Niasse deceives/dives for it.

We do agree to a point.

I just think the problem is Kane (or whoever) getting off, not Niasse getting charged. I think its a blatant dive and he deserves his ban, but if Kane, Vardy, Rashford, Sturridge do the same they should get the exact same punishment.

It won't happen unfortunately.

Porthallian

My transfer in of Niasse was a bigger fail than Jones in last week.

Now need to sort out Stones, Jones & Niasse.

Might go full PVA with a -16

Shanotheslayer

Everton are like that club where they see all the big teams doing something so then they go ahead and do it, and then they get punished :pac:

Couldn't make it up

My understanding is they review all possible offences once the GW is over so they had to wait until today

as did I.

patience seems to be a virtue this season. last season early transfers never backfired. totally different this season.

wardides

Currently have 2 FT and 0.5 in the bank with the following

Speroni/Elliot

Dann Ward Otamendi Dunk Daniels

Salah Richarlison Carroll KDB Choupo-Moting

Kane Morata Firmino

Tempted to offload Otamendi as I think City will really struggle at the back without Stones, but their fixtures just seem too favourable in the immediate future. Would like to find a way to get a Chelsea defender in there though, Cahill is probably my go to (Rudiger and Zap both 0.3 cheaper but not sure of certain starts. Not sure if I need to make anymore changes, might just let the transfer go this week and re-evaluate the Kane situation after this weekend.

WoollyRedHat

Quick question, if Niasse doesn't bother lodging an appeal, can I submit one on his behalf?

I'd either do ward to tarkowski/mee or Carroll to rlc rather than let the transfer go to waste.

Tried to be "clever" and brought in Mane over Salah last week which backfired spectacularly. Would you go Mane > Salah now if it were you?

It's so hard to know. Salah has to stop scoring at the rate he is at some point....... doesn't he?

No point IMO. But easy for me to say while owning Salah. Mané will score big soon though.
