GW23 Matchday Thread

Watching the 2nd half of Huddersfield/West Ham here on Sky.

1. Huddersfield are ropey as fúck at the back.
2. Moyes would be insane to take Arnie out of that striker's role.

That score is an insult to HEWT.

To quote Chandler in friends.

Chandler: Oh, I know, this must be so hard. "Oh no, two women love me. They're both gorgeous and sexy. I scored 89 in FPL, My wallet's too small for my fifties AND MY DIAMOND SHOES ARE TOO TIGHT."

Cartman78

27(-4) from 8....absolute omnishambles.

Hazard & Morata with 1 pointers, every else blanking except Courtois and Kane.

Sickened....Jones, Lingard & Captain Salah to go

Mr.Nice Guy

50 with 4 players to come.

I was pleased to see Chelsea get a clean sheet as I have Christensen but then I find out he was dropped and came on to play 57 minutes. Boo.

FutureGuy

65 with Otamendi, Sterling, Firmino, Salah, De Gea and Lingard to go. Lingard has it all to do as I shipped him for Lanzini.

Mr. Guappa

64 with Fabianski (3) still to come off the bench. OR halved to 20k.
Need to dodge Salah and Sterling tomorrow.
4 left to play: Otamendi, Jones, Sane, Firmino.

:-D I wish I could figure out how to put a Chandler GIF up here! In my defence this season has resembled one flop after another (in continuing with the Friends theme its like waking up beside Janice every morning) so let me enjoy my tongue in cheek comment and bask in the glory of finding myself in the top 1000 this GW for one and only night (it's like having a threesome with Rachel and Monica).

PARlance

51 (-4) nice little rise. Begovic (Haven't a clue how he's still there), Gomez, Salah, Sterling and Aguero to go.

greedygoblin

54 gives me a green arrow up to 64k. Fabianski's 3 to sub in off the bench Monday night too. Jones, Otamendi, Salah, Sterling & Firmino to go.

ShaneU

66 with 4 to play, first good week in a long time.

Rikand

67 with salah firmino and lingard to play

I'm going to make a confession here.

I started the Christmas period at around 100k. But with not wanting to check my rank due to underwhelming weeks, I had no idea where i was. I assumed around 350k at least.

Now maybe I was before yesterday, but with 74 points, I'm up to 98k.

That's mental.

Note to self, it's not always as bad as you think, and a good week can get you going again in no time.

Back inside the top 500k for only the second time this season

SlickRic

Everyone seems to have fúcking Lingard though, so that's a potential problem!

mugsymugsy

Currently inside top 8k. Delighted with that though this will drop if Salah scores big.

I refuse to get worried by Jesse fcuking Lingard!

Tipsy McSwagger

63 with Salah, Aguero, Lingard and Jones to play

Inspector Coptoor

69 with Ederson, Sterling and Firminio left

Huge haul from Kane, Son and Eriksen.

Have gone from OR of 2.6M 6 weeks ago to 845k.

clairewithani

Fair play to Future Guy and KM79 they were telling people not to transfer Arnie out yesterday.

sword1

Changed captain from kane to alonso yesterday morning. It only cost me five points in the end but after son had scored and Kane was still blank I was getting a serious jump in the ranks overall but most importantly in the mini league s as nearly all close to me had Kane captain. 66 but I have no United player so a good result for them today would nullify the gain I have in mini leagues anyway as most seem to have two of them.

clairewithani

People ahead in my leagues have 2 each of Pool City and United while I have one of each. See myself sliding further.

iamanengine

A measly 39 but big 6 left to go.

Stones, Jones, Sterling, Lingard, Salah and Aguero. Aguero seems to he a fairly but differential so need him to do well.

Could salvage the week yet.

km79

I'm going to enjoy owning Arnie until his inevitable sending off for violent conduct or injury whichever comes first within 3\4 weeks
His interview after the game was hilarious
He basically said lanzini was giving out to him for not passing to him so now he has 2 assists for his 2 goals Lanzini can shut up

And he had no intention of passing to him for the second assist either it just ran away from him

Didn't see interview but 100% agree about not wanting to pass. Also when that goal went in he didn't look happy or go and celebrate

He is an absolute egomaniac
Not a player I'd want in my team when things are going badly but when they are flying he will be
Not a season keeper by any means

@FFScout: BBC report that Alexis Sanchez did not travel with Arsenal for their encounter with Bournemouth this afternoon http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/42681675

Ozil could also be out
I swear if Daniels keeps a clean sheet today !

km79

Chelsea were blessed to keep a clean sheet yday!

km79

@FFScout: Arsenal XI vs Bournemouth: Cech; Chambers, Mustafi, Holding; Bellerin, Wilshere, Xhaka, Maitland-Niles; Iwobi, Welbeck; Lacazette
That's a poor arsenal team
Can see an upset and Daniels points as he is feckin playing LWB

@FFScout: Bournemouth XI vs Arsenal: Begovic; S Cook, Ake, Francis; A Smith, Gosling, L Cook, Daniels; Ibe, Fraser; Wilson

Wasn't Wilshere injured?

Wenger confirms Sanchez departure

Sanchez is much more appealing if he goes to Utd even if they aren't as attack minded as City

I don’t agree
I hope he goes to united
It makes aguero more appealing and doesn’t really do much for Sanchez imo

At least with Utd there is little chance of rotation and is a good option if he gets back to his best, although I would assume there is little chance of him going up front so maybe not such a good option afterall

Agreed but he just isn’t an option at that price
Maybe for a DGW later in season

KevIRL

Gosling yellow

km79

Francis harshly booked
Was sent off in this game last year

km79

Bournemouth suprisingly negative
Encouraging from a Daniels POV of Howe is getting more pragmatic
Not much enticement to spend the extra on ibe as a 5th mid though

Not a single shot from them yet

km79

Bournemouth should have had a pen

km79

Half time
Poor game
