Heitinga will not play today if anyone has him which is unlikely

PopTarts · 10-09-2011 10:49AM

Krul should be safe enough in goals against QPR??

Anyone think different?

Mr. Guappa · 10-09-2011 11:03AM

Team after Wildcard:

Made 0.1 on Suarez and A.Young, plus got Rooney, Dzeko and others in before they went up in price. Team now worth 101.7.

Decided to leave Dzeko in as I'm not mad about any of the other forward options. Hopefully a mid-pricer really emerges soon. Have 0.9 in the bank to adjust in future weeks.

The recovery from a brutal start (126 pts) begins today!

Amirani · 10-09-2011 11:06AM

Made a last minute captaincy change from Rooney to Van Persie. Right call?

SteelyDanJalapeno · 10-09-2011 11:09AM

I think so, Hernandez is back, so Rooney will become provider

Lightweight. Last minute captaincy change occurs around 11:29.99, just before the dreaded "Game is currently being updated" message, that's last min!

Dempsey · 10-09-2011 11:14AM

Who should I go for C and VC

Juan Mata
Arteta
Rooney
Suarez
Silva

Usual options
Adebayor
Boswinga
Jose Enrique
Barton

For me it'd be Rooney and Silva.

In a last minute panic, I dropped Moses to my bench and brought in Simpson. Sick of not getting Simpson's points!

FutureGuy · 10-09-2011 11:47AM

Wildcard used at the start of the gw and caught quite a number of rises. My team has many solid choices and 3 gambles that, if they don't work, can be subbed out in 2 weeks witha 4 point hit.

All week I have a feeling that Theo Walcott is going to be the big winner this week. Therefore team for the week...

Krul
Baines Boswinga Ward De Laet
Walcott (c) Taarabt Silva
Dzeko Suarez Rooney

Baines and Boswinga are almost midfielders and the former is a one man army when it comes to set pieces.

Ward and DeLaet are at home and look good for clean sheets. If they do get them, they'll be in with a shout for bonus. Ward plays midfield too!

As mentioned before, have a very strong feeling re Walcott. So much that I captained him. If he does poorly and I captained him, ces't a vie. If he did brilliantly but I hadn't followed my gut, I'd be disgusted. Taarabt is a bit of a gamble but it's a calculated one. The lad is hitting the post so often it's not funny. He is well due. He's also on direct free kicks and penalties. Silva needs no explanation.

Up front, 2 players who take penalties and are the driving force of their team, while the third is on fire. Almost did Dzeko to Adebayor but simply too many peope have Dzeko now that if he does run riot again, I'll be behind in many of my leagues!

10-09-2011 11:47AM

Went for two free changes this week, wanted to save my wildcard for the coming weeks/months.

Given (hoping he's fit)
Simpson Baines (also hoping) Kompany Bosingwa
Petrov Silva Brunt
Dzeko Rooney (C) Suarez (V)

Subs: Ruddy, Formica, Moses, Ward

Dempsey · 10-09-2011 12:00PM

Wildcard used

Team Value: 99.0 + 2.0(B) --> 100.9

Some risky selections but I feel many of the big hitters selected will have produced at least one big performance within 3 GW's

gustafo · 10-09-2011 12:02PM

am i the only 1 who kept torres in, prob a bad mistake.

I think so, VP home to Swansey while Rooney away to Bolton!

I went with VP anyway

Probably. It's time for him to come good so you'll be happy. I just got fed up with him and put in Rooney despite his v. tough run of fixtures

Dempsey · 10-09-2011 12:05PM

I've a feeling that he'll have a 'Berbatov type' FPL season.

For the money, you'd want someone more reliable. RVP would be a far better choice, and captain choice too, this GW than Torres imo

You're probably the only one who kept him, so he'll probably score a hat trick today and everyone who got rid of him will be fuming (me included, but in the long run I'm glad to be rid of him)

El Horseboxo · 10-09-2011 12:18PM

I made transfers last night to get rid of Sessengon and Torres but looked today and i must not have confirmed it. Still there. Hopefully it's a good omen and Torres scores one or two. Fecker will probably get sent off.

Well most don't have him now. Worst case scenario he'll score 2. Best case he'll go nuts and score a hatrick allowing you to catch up. If you have faith in him to do that.

Devia · 10-09-2011 01:42PM

Anyone hear if Given is fit?

iMuse · 10-09-2011 01:44PM

Bendtner is a bargain at 6.4 if Gyan is off on loan for the season.

Dempsey · 10-09-2011 01:45PM

Gyan has gone out on loan to Al Ain

I have nearly an identical team- Except Rooney and Barton to Adebayor and Young, (and moses to Dyer)
Rooney on fire hard to ignore but with Hernandez back I think he will share a lot of his points,so taking little risk there.

iMuse · 10-09-2011 02:02PM

Dzeko on the bench :rolleyes: Tevez and aguero start. Jarvis also on bench for wolves

Tis a possibility, in hindsight, maybe RVP in for Rooney would have been a better choice!

He better come on and get a hat trick :pac:

joe123 · 10-09-2011 02:08PM

Brought in Dzeko and nasri and both on the bench. Sums up my FF season this year.:(

Mars Bar · 10-09-2011 02:10PM

Why didn't go with Adebayor?!
