77 so far.

Ramsey and Oscar to go.

continuing my slow gains each week.

Oscar running well tomorrow would be just dandy and get me to within 70 points of my main rival whose run brilliantly all season.

What were your expectations ?

Well I need to average around 85 points a week from here on out to have any chance of winning the main league I'm in. Ideally I'd get a couple of 100+ weeks over xmas and January to take some of the pressure off.

While the above is kind of true, I was only joking about being disappointed with the score so far

Coleman providing these returns makes no fcuking sense whatsoever. Sorry. Talk about going completely over.

Don't get me wrong, he has always had decent attacking returns but his recent output takes the biscuit altogether.

same as Yaya tbh.

71 points with Mert, Ramsey and Hazard left. Happy with that, i do hope to climb back to 500k, where I belong...
Suarez is really pumping up the average at the moment. 70 doesn't sound that good anymore.

Doubling up on Liverpool to keep a clean sheet didn't work :mad:

Hazard, Ramsey and Giroud still to play, benched Mertesacker

58 points so far

Did you expect any different?

PARlance · 23-12-2013 09:18AM

55 points and hoping for murder later on.

Walcott, Ozil, Oscar and Mert to play.

Don't particularly want a clean sheet from Mert, a high scoring draw would be ideal (United fan)

I sold Coleman before the away games at Arsenal and United. Big mistake.

Just brought him back in, he's a must have. 3 of his next 4 games are at home too.

There's 3 must have players imo.

Coleman, Yaya and Suarez. Ramsey was but I'm not too sure he is anymore. Arsenal are stuttering a bit.

I dont believe Yaya is a must have, im a city fan and have watched most his games this year and cant believe his points return, hes got lucky with a few pens with aguero off the pitch and his freekick ratio seems to be about 90%, he doesnt look like scoring from open play that much. Silva for me will return more in the second half of the season and is cheaper.

I hope you are right - those free kicks have to end at some point. And Yaya needs a rest at some point-the poor guy didn't miss a single game yet. Would be nice to see him being rested:D

He's must have while Agueros out imo.

He's dispensable once Aguero returns to penalty taking duty.

Does anyone have stats on how many penalties City normally get?

I went for Silva. He's an attacking player. His returns were good in previous seasons even under defensive Manicini. Pellegrini is far more attacking. Silva hit the crossbar last Saturday and had two assists. He's had attacking returns in seven of City's nine games that he has started.

KevIRL · 23-12-2013 01:32PM

Lol at the highest score of the GW. Is that Futureguy?

dahat · 23-12-2013 01:37PM

Half hoping Hazard breaks down tonight so i can move on Silva, don't want his price to rise too much

They've 3 this season . 6 last season and 8 the season before.

for some reason he never gets rested or taken off, i reckon you could count on one hand the amount of times either has happened since he joined the club. Even when he looks totally knackered and cant run he still doesnt get taken off, must be something in his contract!

Mr.Prodston · 23-12-2013 04:50PM

Any chance the game could be cancelled due to the weather? Would be one hell of a tasty DGW fixture in a months time :pac:

No real mention of that happening anywhere, which you surely would have by now.

71 with Ramsey, Ozil and Terry tomorrow. Not great considering some of the other scores I've seen.

72 with the same players to go

Had hazard Oscar and Ramsey. Took 4 point hit Oscar out for Silva.....looks good so far but that could change yet !

SlickRic · 23-12-2013 08:13PM

fúck sake no Oscar.

might need rid soon so.

KevIRL · 23-12-2013 08:13PM

Do the business tonight pls ffl. Probably your last game for me

Benimar · 23-12-2013 08:16PM

FFS. No Oscar. Might have to get rid of him as well as Brady and already took a -4 this week. Can't catch a break this season.

Mr.Prodston · 23-12-2013 08:19PM

Arsenal: Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Ozil, Walcott, Giroud

KevIRL · 23-12-2013 08:20PM

Wouldn't be rushing too much to ship out Oscar to be honest. Him and mata near certs now to start Thursday's home game v Swansea

SlickRic · 23-12-2013 08:21PM

as long as Hazard and Ozil are somehow quiet that'll be some sort of result for me.

an Oscar goal off the bench would be delightful though.

manual_man · 23-12-2013 08:21PM

Want goal fest with Rambo and Hazard hogging the points. That is all
