This double GW is more of a pain than anything else. I was going to swap Suarez for Sturridge but Suarez is more likely to start both games. I've a feeling Gerrard should be brought in, possibly at the expense of Walcott for a week.

Had planned originally to keep Fellaini until after the weekend before swapping to De Guzman for the long run but don't want to play Gerrard away to City this weekend. Oh well I guess it's future me's problem :eek:

Cantona's Collars · 30-01-2013 04:17PM

Already have 2 Swansea players so I'll probably bring in Suarez for the DGW.

True, but their record following EL games this season is poor. Where they have played a strong team in the EL, off the top of my head their record is:
Arsenal (H) 0-2
Stoke (H) 0-0
Everton (A) 2-2
Swansea (A) 0-0
West Ham (A) 3-2

So fatigue could be a factor, and in fairness they have added attacking options this month so there could be some rotation. I think it is just something to keep in mind.

Off the top of your head? Some memory you have!

is it not foolish to get in a ton of those players just for that DGW, considering both clubs miss the following GW?

or am i missing something?

The way it's falling, other than Captain choice in week 26, this DGW has no significance unless you're in the Cup perhaps. i.e. if you have lots of Liverpool and Swansea, you'll score around 20 points more in week 26 and 20 points less in week 27, compared to if you only had one or two from those teams.

But I suppose it's like that for any DGW really. Unless you have a cost-effective exit strategy, or want those players in your team anyway, don't get extra players from DGW teams in unless it affects your Captain choice. Think Total score, not weekly score.

Have to say have been really impressed with southampton for a good few weeks now they had utd hanging on somewhat tonight. Currently far more impressive than our early season wonders like WHam Stoke WBA.

**** you Rafa, **** you.
You ****ing fat Spanish waiter.

richieffff · 31-01-2013 05:05AM

Just checked my second team which I haven't payed any attention too for a while and I've gotten an average of 77 points over the last 5 weeks (104 last week) compared to my main team 64, feck sake.

extra gravy · 31-01-2013 12:44PM

Mulling over two options now for the rest of the season:

Option 1: Front 7 of Mata, Walcott, Bale, Fellaini, Michu, VP and Sturridge

Option 2: Mata, Walcott, Bale, Michu, Silva, Rooney and Suarez

I think option 2 has the potential to outscore option 1 over the rest of the season but because there's no RVP in it, it scares me! Thoughts anyone?

Steel Dog · 31-01-2013 01:57PM

Anyone know the story with Demel lastnite, how come he only played 66 mins?

roryc · 31-01-2013 02:14PM

Because he is utter, utter sh*t. FYI - He's in my team. He was at fault for 4 of the Arsenal goals and played terrible again last night.

I didn't see him getting subbed so it may have been an injury but I wouldn't be confident of him starting next week.

they signed pogatetz ex boro aswell in danger of losing his place IMO

Steel Dog · 31-01-2013 03:04PM

But Pogatetz plays left-back and centre half and Demel is a right-back. Can O'Brien play right-back?Pogatetz is 4.5, i think he is .5 too much for a team that has only kept 1 clean sheet in the last 13 league games.

O'Brien has played pretty much anywhere in midfield or defence.

Iused2likebusts · 01-02-2013 11:59AM

cuellar supposed to be back for the weekend and Wilson expected to play for stoke reserves next week

Kerrydude1981 · 01-02-2013 12:14PM

Wonder what price bracket will Coutinho be in,6 to 7 mill?

Jax Teller · 01-02-2013 12:21PM

I'd imagine it'll be 7.5m like Holtby.

Jax Teller · 01-02-2013 01:23PM

^^^^ he's just been added now 6.5m . One to keep an eye on anyway

Swiper the fox · 01-02-2013 01:35PM

Samba up for 5m, is he fully match fit etc, any chance Harry will leave him out tomorrow?

not a bad price he'll be a good threat from set pieces too, though other than cheapies (4mil) i'm concentrating on Man City/Man Utd/Chelsea for my more expensive defenders

Samba said himself yesterday in an interview that he is not fully fit but i think Harry will play him anyway. With Nelsen gone he does not have many great options at centre half. Can see Harry starting him and if he needs to come off he will just take him off.

Knew it would be £5, FF are pretty predictable. Definitely one to watch.

SlickRic · 01-02-2013 02:12PM

i'm resisting Samba this week, but post GW27, he may well be a must-have.

Swiper the fox · 01-02-2013 02:14PM

I'm gonna wait till the morning to get some soundbite from Harry but I think I'll bring him in, tomorrows as good a time as any for him to score, debut at home against a bad team.

Santi101 · 01-02-2013 02:15PM

Yeah, I'd expect Samba to be thrown straight in if we are to believe the huge sums QPR have paid for him with fees/wages. Crazy stuff.

Good player though. 5m is a decent price.

roryc · 01-02-2013 02:35PM

Supposedly RVP set to start on the bench at Fulham.
