G1032

Morning all

Most people will be looking for another mega performance from captain Suarez. I also wouldn't mind a bit of an ould appearance from Walcott and a few points along with it if he'd be so kind!!

40 points thank god for Suarez

Guzan, Mert, Ramsey, Lukaku and Kasami:eek: to come yet

49 with Lukaku, Ramsey and Mertesacker, will probably push me up slightly, real average will be about 42 I reckon. Need Lukaku to outscore Coleman by 6 points or my rival will extend his lead even further... His differentials are killing me the last three weeks, Cabaye doing the damage this time around.

52 with 4 to go..

Bit the bullet and finally brought in Suarez but way too late.

Brought in Paulinho last week and it paid off today - he is underpriced and now playing in a more advanced role where he done so well in Brazil.

I norm in a good position this time of year but I'm miles off the pace - I'm blaming getting married and honeymoon in Oct / Nov tho

Just been looking at one of my leagues that I have been leading since GW 3/4. Need Everton to play Arsenal of the park tomorrow, with only Ramsey earning points, and Giroud and Mert preferably getting 0 or Minus points.

Gap was closed right down after the GW14, and closed slightly again today.

How come Paulinho is playing in the more advanced role all of a sudden and will he stay there? Didn't realise he is only 6.6m now.

Mr. Guappa

50 points with 4 to play - Ozil, Ramsey, Coleman, Lukaku.

Captain Suarez was the main provider, and my Clyne -> Gabbidon transfer paid off. Santon is stuck as 2nd sub on 7 points, following Coleman in midweek in getting a CS at Old Trafford while rooted to my bench.

Two free transfers for next week and a number of issues to monitor:
- Gerrard injury
- Mignolet not keeping clean sheets and Boruc as my other keeper
- Terry not keeping clean sheets

One of my midfield spots is cursed. Since the wildcard after GW3 it has gone from Coutinho (promptly injured) to Michu (injured after a number of lacklustre returns) to Oscar (injured, after one good performance but a few stinkers) and now to Gerrard (a pair of 4-pointers).

I didn't see today's game but he was playing behind striker in previous games.. He is a goal scoring midfielder if let play closer to goal tho..

Fair play to Swiper. He called it well.........

Touched to see ye're thinking about me lads;)

It could and should have been more for Paulinho today despite the fact that he's back in his deeper lying midfield role. I genuinely believe that if Spurs are to score more goals he will be their Ramsey for the second half of the season, he gets into great positions, he could easily have at least doubled his points total today, should have been selfish at the end instead of squaring for Defoe and he should have buried that second half header, that's only the start of it.

Townsend should be playing, he was very unlucky again today with very limited gametime not to score and assist again, I've let him go a few weeks ago but he's got unbelievable potential for FPL.

He played the same position as he has most of the season - as 1 of the 2 in a 4-2-3-1. That said he got forward more and had a couple of decent chances.

He hasn't played in that role except for the one game last week against United, he's in his normal midfield role but playing with a bit more freedom and dare I say it, confidence, he's always scored goals. Lampard and Ramsey style.

Lemlin

49 points after bonus. Dahat is on 45. Both of us with 4 to play. The tie comes down to my Mert + Lukaku vs his Coleman and Chico.

Would suit me if Arsenal could keep a clean sheet tomorrow and score against Everton. That would get Mert six and Coleman hopefully 2 or less.

I reckon an 8 point lead going into Monday night with only Chico left for him would be enough.

Yeah I brough Gabbidon in too, the only person after Suarez and Aguero to get anything decent. Was between him and Ollsen but after Suarez destroyed Norwich last week I thought Gabbidon was the safer bet. Both scored 6 anyway. Ollsen has the easier match next week though so might end up regretting it.

Naawww sure you're our favourite ickle foxy woxy

I might look at him in a week or two myself and join you on that bandwagon, a few other transfers will need to take precedence but I have an eye firmly on him. If he got that 5th yellow out of the way soon it'd be just dandy.

G1032

44 with Ramsey, Walcott and Lukaku to play

(-8) this week but team finally beginning to resemble something that's half way competitive. I've also decided to give it another shot in trying to get 2nd place in money league. 100 points and 25+ places behind 2nd but the ridiculous points hits transfers are to be dramatically reduced for the next while until I see how I get on.

Very tempted my self, but not sure if worth getting rid of Nasri for, only one of my midfeliders who I would consider shipping out at the mo.

GBXI

How in the name of god did Stephen Ireland not even get 1 bp yet Crouch gets 2?

Mint Sauce

Average is 26, highest is 90, hopefully my 46 (-8) should push me back up a bit.

Western Pomise

40 pts with 7 to play....
Sorry if I upset likes of Mr Prodston with Suarez shower story,had him as Capt myself!!
...... Don't take life so serious lads;);)

HighClass

On 48 after BPs, happy with that. Ramsey, Lukaku, Shelvey, Mert & Szczesny left to play.

jamesbere

Average lower than I was expecting

Olsson is on my radar too, along with Ben Turner. Current plan is to cheapen my defence to Coleman plus 4 cheapies (Gabbidon, Chester and 2 others) who will rotate depending on fixtures. That said Terry gets another week with Palace at home next and Santon has three decent fixtures coming up so the January wildcard might come around before I get around to changing the defence too much.

Suarez Claus delivers yet again. Hilariously, after one of the lads in my league didn't have Suarez for last weeks rout, you think he'd get him in for this week?

Nope!

This gives me chuckles in my belly.

was 8th on one of my leagues last week
4 of the 7 above me didnt have suarez which
moved me up to third, found that very funny
3 of those brought him in this week
no money involved there so not too bothered but anyone
who didnt capt suarez or have him in their team at home
to norwich need help
sadly all 6 above me in my work league did the obvious thing

Mr.Prodston

58 with Ozil, Ramsey and Williams to go. I've had a pretty good day at the office by the looks of things and I see myself sitting at 126k right now (rising about 70k). Everton and Arsenal conceding with limited Lukaku and Giroud involvement would be too much to ask for I know. This strange feeling of satisfaction should probably have me worried and next week looks like a sketchy set of fixtures, but pleased with my days work!

Anyway 12 of my points coming from the defensive dream-team of Mickey T and Danny G :pac:

KevIRL

57 but just ozil and Coleman to play.

16 points ahead in my FFS cup game, we both have the 2 above but he has Ramsey, lukaku, Brady and shelvey. Not too confident

km79

57. Szecnezy and Ramsey to go.ozil and giroud are the players I fear now. Slowing clawing my way back to respectability . 273k now after anattrocioys few opening weeks. Making progress in my leagues. Now I need to continue to carefully consider my transfers.......

roryc

Up to 71k, that'll do pig. More than happy if I stay there after tomorrow's fixtures, all eye on Lukaku.

What's your team?

I've moved from 15k to 11k. Will hopefully stay there after the games tomorrow and Monday.

Mr. Guappa

Back up to 5.3k. Still have Ozil, Ramsey, Lukaku and Coleman so should stay thereabouts.

roryc

Ozil can go ahead and get rested/sent off tomorrow. As can Coleman...
