    Mark Noble should be on your radar according to reports yesterday. 20 U21 England caps but his granny is from Cork!

    Not scoring much but at least starts every game.

    Apparently O'Neill had a look at him last night.

    I can't have him in my side as he's in the England team!

    We made rules at the start of the season about eligibility, as Noble hadn't declared either way, we went on his underage appearances.

    However, if he were to come across the water I'd have to force the England team to cut him and I'd clearly take him into my midfield (Duff is useless this season - McCarthy next in line).

    Only one opportunity all season to make changes, and it will be the January WildCard window. Historically this has been a disaster for the Irish side, as we have zero options to expand the team with, while the England team usually finds a few Andros Townsend, Luke Shaw, Michael Dawson cheap points, enabling upgrades to Sturridge, Rooney, Lambert strikeforce.

    Damien Delaney with a few points for us last night. Good lad!

    11-3 in the H2H (we win if we get 8 or more over the season)

    The comeback is on!

    Rep of Ireland 445 + (17*14) 683
    England 670

    Getting that high profile assistant in has really paid off Emmet, some run

    Two goals this week!

    By O'Shea and O'Brien :(

    Need Meyler and Brady to massively outscore Routledge tonight for any glimmer of a result to surface.

    Can take anyone who declares for Ireland.

    Only issue is transfers are only allowed during the Winter Wildcard.

    Come on Martin, sign them up!!

    Ugh, the turnaround is over I think. Back to drubbings.

    12-3 in the H2H (beaten 33-15 this week)

    This week, we are without
    Westwood, Walters, Pilkington, Bunn, Mason
    and
    O'Brien, Duff, Brady, Meyler are not guaranteed gametime.

    Clark (MUN (H)), Coleman (FUL (H)), Delaney (CHE (A)), O'Shea (WHU (A)), Long (Car (A) {C})

    carry the flag well please gents, this could be a disaster week.

    (England are without ; Nolan, Gerrard, Sturridge, Baines, Foster. And Hart not guaranteed a start)

    ****.

    Out of 15 players in his squad 7 played.
    Walcott as Captain and Hooper scoring sinks me again in the H2H.

    Coleman and O'Shea doing their part to keep us in touch on the handicap side though!

    He is way too good for them, he's a comfortable premier league player.

    Can we squeeze a team together before Friday? (In order to get an agreed handicap).

    Randolph / Given
    Coleman, Delaney, O'Shea, -x- , -x-
    McClean, Walters, Whelan, McCarthy, -x-
    Long, -x-, -x-

    Any suggestions?

    (We'll probably remove the wildcard or else allow an additional HC for it, i.e if you want to use your Wild Card it costs you 18 points per transferred player)

    No subs, no captain changes. Need to field 15 Irish Eligible players in the squad, pick the formation that works best, then cover eyes for the rest of the season as it goes miserably as per usual.

    Arter & O'Kane @ Bournemouth and Tommy Hoban @ Watford could 'fill slots' if need be in midfield and defence, but their gametime will be minimal / none.

    Meyler @ Hull
    Lenihan @ Hull
    Ward @ Burnley
    (Kevin) Long @ Burnley - not in FPL

    You're going to have to do some serious outside the box thinking to get some attacking talent. I'd suggest raking up a bunch of Engerland players who are eligible but may have already turned us down.

    Mark Noble

    Or even English players with caps but who could have played. Obviously will require a rule change from FIFA.

    Wayne Rooney

    Wow, really scraping the barrel this time around.

    Ward crystal palace in defence?
    Darren Gibson Everton probably won't see much game time

    Think you should lobby for the inclusion of any striker with an Irish sounding name:

    Long, Rooney, Sergi O'Ageuro

    Callum Wilson at Bournemouth is eligible for Ireland.O'Neill was monitoring his progress towards end of season. No guarantees he'd declare of course but it's possible!

    Let's bring this back from the dead.

    Can we get an Irish Squad together this year? Need 15 players who have or can represent Republic of Ireland.

    Haven't even checked in the past few years embarrassingly enough.

    Been alive the last 2 seasons with varying success. Not sure we'll have a valid 15 this year.
