GW 21 Matchday Thread

I should be in the middle of an 8 mile easy run. Instead I'm stuck indoors trying to decide whether to move it of Suarez and onto Adebayor.

My brain says keep it of Suarez - it's what everyone in your league will do and you have plenty of VERY strong differentials in Adebayor, Rodruigez, Silva and Baines.

My gut keeps telling me risk Adebayor.

Opinions? Honestly, I'm not sure about Suarez this gameweek.

What's swaying me is the WBA game earlier in the season. Liverpool had a poor rcord away to them, their home defence was decent, I captained somebody else. He scored a hat trick. Also Stoke missing Begovic, Huth and possibly someone else, I can't recall. Their keeper will be making his PL debut as far as I know.

So what I'm saying is, Adebayor all the way.......only joking...

switching from Suarez to negredo, the beast is on some form,whos with me!?!?

Davis
Coleman - Koscielny - Santon
Oscar - Özil - Yaya - Eriksen
Suarez(c) - Negredo - Lukaku

Bench: Januzaj | Gabbidon | Chester | Gazzaniga

Santon is flagged and I'm not crazy about the idea of either Gaby or Chester coming in. Sometimes I wish you could play 2 at the back

The league is only open to the 80 who are qualified for the league structure. Would be too confusing to include standbys in it.

No worries, if you start a Vauxhall conference let us know

My wildcarded team:

Marshall,
Coleman, Sagna, Merts.
Yaya, Hazard, Ozil, Lallana.
Adebayor, Suarez (c), Lukaku.

With a lot of people taking -4 or -8 point hits to field weaker teams than above, I'm definitely expecting to see green arrows this week. Will especially be looking at my new recruits in bold.

Only people I'm wary of are the likes of Negredo, Silva and Eriksen, but I' be a lot more scared of not having Yaya and Adebayor! Time for Lukaku to perform too...

hmmmm need to bench 2 from Turner (home to West Ham), Ravel (away to Cardiff), Fer (away to Everton)

Thoughts?

Definitely Burner. I need to play one of Ravel or Danny G or take a hit.

A quick twitter search of Ravel has said Fulham are in again for him and Diame so have my doubts. With Everton's CBs not playing or just back Fer could get some action in the box at corners perhaps?

Edit: Misread. Thought you needed 2 starters.

Id start Ravel personally.

Have Turner in now alright, just dislike starting with 4 defenders as its pretty much definite that they wont all keep cleanies and there's that chance one of yer mids will get points

Other defenders that I'd briefly consider benching are Sagna and Terry, purely on the back of away fixtures but I know that would be madness so in they stay

So. Lukaku captain is a no brainer .

He should get an assist at least.

I feel like I just had a quick one night stand with my wildcard. She's already on her way out the door while I lie in bed wondering whether I'll regret such a rash late-night decision...

Have lukaku at the minute but I have a huge feeling about Bony. Only using one of them for 3 gws until I get aguero in. 10 mins to decide!

Who would people start between Marshall and Mannone? Cardiff have the 'easier' tie at home, but Sunderland seem to be keeping more clean sheets. At the moment I have it on Marshall purely because he's the home keeper.

Bit of pressure on Mannone too with new keeper rumours I'd go with Marshall tbh

I think Fulham at home have always scored. While WH away are far from it.

That being said I'm the master of getting my rotation wrong :rolleyes: ...

Yep! It will be my only dilemma each week though, as my 4 subs cost a grand total of £16.4m (Mannone, Chester, Ward, Colback). I've gone big on my starting 11!

For my Gabbidon to your Ward we have the same subs.

But I may link you again to my praising post of the Mannone-Marshall rotation (=> http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=88362551&postcount=410) and let you notice that another power of that rotation (in addition to its price and great looking run of fixtures) is that most weeks your benched keeper is gonna face a much much tougher opposition (very often a top 5/6 club and all that away) than the one you'll field. This week is actually one of the few (maybe 4 or 5 over the next 18) where there can be debate.

Cant remember my team but it goes a little something like this...

McGregor; Mertesacker, Coleman, Burner(?); Ozil, Cabaye, Yaya Toure; Suarez (c), Lukaku, Negredo;

Bench; Gazzaniga; Chester, Gabbidon; Ward-Prowse (Not in that order)

Fairly sure Burner is the 3rd CB I went with...
