GW11 - Matchday Thread

So how is everybody shaping up for this weekend?

I'm happy enough with my team but facing a last minute selection dilemma. I need to leave out one of the following:

Paulinho vs Newcastle (H)
Ramsey vs Man. Utd (A)
Coleman vs Palace (A)

I am leaning towards leaving Ramsey out as I figure his scoring run has to end some time. Any thoughts?

And do people reckon this will be a high scoring week in the game?

No offence and even though I don't have him, its ridiculous to even consider benching Ramsey with the form hes in. At this moment the lad is the top midfielder in the PL this year simple as. So out of those options Id bench Coleman.

Here's how I line up;

arnie or clyne?

Paulinho …not exactly in a free scoring side - spurs have not hit double digits for goals scored for in the premiership - they have been given 3 penalties so far in 10 games -ALSO you never know what Newcastle will turn up.

Ramsey - in the form of his life - granted against a team with reputation but …sitting in mid table - ramsey could have a quiet game but will be a guaranteed starter and minimum 60mins.

Coleman …against Palace - one of the teams in the premier league who are consistent in their conceding goals from attacking sides….depending on your team I would nearly consider captaining Coleman (while its not guaranteed …its almost certainly a clean sheet and bonus points for attacking )

You might be proved right but this is a bold statement to make about someone who's gone 14 hours without attacking bonus points. In saying that he'd be the first player I'd put in from that three.


If Ramsey scores tomorrow I may consider bringing him in, maybe, but I'll probably talk myself out of it:o:p

Almost certainly? CP are 6/5 to score no goals so maybe you should put some cash down!

A reminder that the Fantasy Football Scout Cup kicks off this weekend. You only have to be registered on the site, not a paying member even to enter and there are a few prizes courtesy of Paddypower.

Kamon Chelsea!:pac:

Made the Michu -> Oscar transfer earlier in the week so just had to decide on Captain and Mignolet/Boruc in goals. Went with Suarez captain and Mignolet in goals, as I have Clyne for Southampton defensive cover.

Mignolet
Terry - Dawson - Coleman - Clyne
Oscar - Ramsey - Ozil
Lukaku - Aguero - Suarez (C)

Subs: Boruc; Ward-Prowse - Brady - Chester

Could really do with Chester returning and Brady being 100% after the international break, with Spurs and Southampton fixtures toughening I will need the extra options.

Boruc

Terry Dawson Coleman

Ravel Ozil Lallana Ramsey

Aguero Rooney Suarez (c)

Fairly standard team. Would be happy if either ravel or lallana could grab a goal for me. I think a lot of us are expecting clean sheet points this week but there could be a few let downs.

Besta luck t'yall!

Think I've made a big mistake in going for Hazard over Oscar with my transfer for Silva, especially as I think Mourinho may leave him on the bench today, but being honest I was in a rush and never thought of it. Oops!

Anyway, Suarez (C), Aguero and Hazard (hopefully) will be expected to gain the bulk of my points this week. I'm hoping for clean sheets from Mignolet, Terry and Clyne.

I'll be struggling to field a proper team with Nastastic doubtful and Brady very doubtful so I'm not expecting a lot this week to be honest, if I beat the average I'll be happy.

Good luck

Nastasic down as a doubt... tits!:rolleyes:

He was a doubt all week unfortunately.

Always that extra bit of pressure going into the last GW before an international break, if you have a poor week then its a long wait to fix things and you lose all grá for the game.

Before the last international break I scored 33 (-4) for a GW rank of 1.9 million, no repeat of that $hite please team

Don't know how i missed that! I made my transfers last Sunday and have been up to my eyes all week so didn't notice! Hopefully he'll start, playing 4 - 3 - 3 for the first time all season! Morrison to come in if he doesn't end up playing though!
