GW 37+ - The Longest Night

Mr.Nice Guy

Today went very nicely. Digne, Jimenez and Doherty all delivered.

Scorpion Sting

36 with Sterling and KDB to come tomorrow and Martial (c), Fernandes, Rashford and TAA on Wednesday.

Up from 2.6k to 1.6k with today's defensive hauls, so super happy.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Just Doherty and Patricio today, up to 29 points. 7 left to play, still annoyed about that Ings missed peno!

Actually something I hadnt thought of they could want to finish as high as possible, I'm guessing here but it's my best guess/punt

I heard/read a piece about Wilder. He seems very impressive and disciplined.

On one of their promotions they had secured the title with 3 games to spare. The players thought ‘good times’ and he had the attitude of winning their final 3 games to hit 100 points, iirc, or some sort of target.

He wouldn’t let them relent. They won their last 3 games.

It’s a good thing to know about managers. We’ve all seen the teams/managers that ‘hit the beach’ once they’ve reached safety but at least with Wilder we know he is relentless and every game matters. For him it’s all about attitude and there is no room for putting your feet up.

Cheers for that, back to the drawing board with me

Doherty and Jimi with 17 points, makes up for my Justin -1 but need big returns from Salah, TAA, Bruno and Tony with the armband as still chasing a 20 point gap. I've a chance.....

Literally forgot I had Patricio in goals too! Another 7 points. A green arrow anyways for a change , was red the last few weeks.

Dubliner28

64 point lead now in main mini (pay league)

Only KDB tonight

Main rival has BSilva Jesus and KDB

Hope a low scoring game with plenty of Pep rotation

20525, so pretty much literally where I started the week

bmorrissey

Saiss not playing at all worked really well for me, have Pieters to sub on for 12 points, 39 points with 6 players and captain to play.

Sounds like DDG may be dropped for the WHU game.

There was nothing in his press conference to suggest DDG will be dropped

dr.kenneth noisewater

If OGS trusted/rated Romero he would have started him in the SF as he'd played all the previous rounds

Agree with Kenneth,

I don't see how he drops DDG as Romero plays all cup games so that indicates to me he doesn't want Romero.

Given the importance of the game as well if it didn't work there would be huge backlash.

Think DDG owners are safe, unfortunately for me as MR has him.

siblers

He could be dropped in 38 if he plays badly, hopefully not as I plan to bench boost with him and Martinez

Ya thate the biggest part for me, dropping him now would look really bad for ole himself,

David silva nailed on for the weekend
Foden on my bench tonight will be on peps bench Sunday
A lot could go wrong for me tonight !
Minimum I need is KDB to match sterling

Pighead

Wow, no Mahrez is a hammer blow. Was hoping he could help me make ground in my league.

siblers

Definitely swapping Foden for Dilva on Sunday. Would have captained Kev had I known he would start

Pleeeease do something Foden

titan18

Gundogan, Silva and Mahrez to start Sunday for Foden, rodi and Bernardo Silva I assume

km79

eh i dunno

Hoping for 1-1 with cancelo and cleverly scoring

Can see a symbolic Silva to Foden sub on Sunday

Green&Red

Wonder what this means for Sunday and specifically Sterling, be nice to see him off at 50min today

shmeee

No city players so hoping the goals they' score don't involve KDB and I'm happy out. Not too much to ask.

pimpmyhat

Is it likely Dilva comes on in second half?

Not if they're 2 or 3 up

More worried bout Sterling .
Will he start Sunday ???

Mr.Nice Guy

Think Sterling realistically needs at least two goals here to have an outside shot at the Golden Boot (would bring him to 19, four goals off Vardy). If he gets them this evening, Pep would surely start him against Norwich.

One of Jesus or sterling probably has to start
Jesus is due a rest more than sterling but who knows !

km79

Foden is playing REALLY wide

Iused2likebusts

Id expect all the big guns will start on sunday. They are getting ready for real Madrid.

km79

17% possession for Watford

Must be to do with the right footed left back

Sterling (walker)

Mr.Nice Guy

Great hit from Sterling. Up to 18 goals now.

km79

That
Is
Very
Bad
Wake up Kevin !
Disaster

Peno won. By sterling

Missed by sterling but he scores rebound

km79

This is absolutely disgusting
KDB not even taking pens now
Wish I had stuck to my guns

Father Hernandez

Foster penalty save.

Sterling scores the rebound.

ScummyMan

Why is he taking that????

Mr.Nice Guy

He's in the hunt for the Golden Boot. Up to 19 goals now.

davemckenna25

Sterling has an outside chance of the golden boot. Needs another 1 or 2 tonight.

km79

I might FkIN do KDB to sterling now I’m so angry

I actually hate owning debryune I never get him right but he still fills me with dread when I don't have him
