69 with Ozil to play, rose a further 18k places to 294k.

The Wild Bunch · 13-01-2014 04:57AM

54 with Ozil, Mertesacker and Giroud to play

Disaster of a weekend

roryc · 13-01-2014 08:52AM

I have Ozil and Mert too, but all hope lies with this lad

I'll happily take a clean sheet, but if Sagna feels like popping up with a goal/assist or bonus points then go for it lad. So many FPL managers praying for a boring 0-0 tonight!

Arsenal and villa. Nil nil is not going to happen

roryc · 13-01-2014 09:46AM

Arsenal have conceded 1 goal in their last 4 games, Villa have only scored 3 in their last 6. As usual we can twist stats in our favour (Arsenal conceded 6 against City recently and Villa knocked 3 past Southampton) but Arsenal should have a good chance of bagging a clean sheet tonight. I'm not confident though!

Obviously an Arsenal win is most likely, I'm praying for 1-0 so they still need to defend.

FutureGuy · 13-01-2014 09:53AM

62, Ozil and Mertesacker to play. WC intact.

garra · 13-01-2014 03:17PM

73 with Ozil to play. Having a real ding-dong cup battle with opponent in Fantasy Cup game, he has 71 with Mert and Szcesny to play.. So I need Villa & Ozil to score tonight.

Dont think I've ever gone beyond the 4th round of Cup in 7 seasons of FPL, come on ye footie gods look kindly on me

A 1-0 with Ozil involved in the scoring would do me juuuust fine. Mertsacker would probably be involved in bonus.

Mr. Incognito · 13-01-2014 04:03PM

I think it will be 2-0. Giroud and Ozil most likely with an Ox and Ozil assist.

GLaDOS · 13-01-2014 05:02PM

Guy just behind me in my money league has trebled up on Arsenal defence :eek: While the guy in top position (I'm 2nd) has no Arsenal defenders. I have Kos, but I'm not sure I want the clean sheet

the incredible pudding · 13-01-2014 05:07PM

Trebling on a defence is either nuts or genius. Probably nuts. Yeah, I'd go for nuts.

GLaDOS · 13-01-2014 05:13PM

Could work as a short term strategy focusing on favourable fixtures. Wouldn't do it myself though.

roryc · 13-01-2014 05:29PM

I've doubled up. Trebling on Arsenal wouldn't be the worst idea, with a view to getting rid of 2/3 of them with the WC before their fixtures tighten up in Feb.

HighClass · 13-01-2014 05:59PM

Mert with a goal and a clean sheet, Ozil with a goal and an assist and Szczesny with a clean sheet, is that too much to ask for from one game? :P

I've two as well but the cost of a single goal costing you 12 points (plus likely bonus) would be too much for me to bare!
Plus it makes it a lot harder to get any offensive coverage for a team that scores goals pretty much every game.

No not at all hows about an assist for Szczesny while you are asking

A Begovic style goal from him in the first minute would be a nice way to start things off :P

Fowler87 · 13-01-2014 06:06PM

10/1 on Kos goal anytime tonight. He's due one so worth a punt

Fizman · 13-01-2014 06:09PM

I've Ozil and Giroud tonight......so I'm all for a 3-3 thriller.

Why not a goal and an assist for Szc as well?

Assuming* you mean defenders, if so then the big drawback (after the obvious if they concede you lose 3 clean sheets in one go) would be that all Arsenal slots are taken up and you'd have no attacking players from a team likely to score well given the fixtures

*if you didnt mean defenders then carry on, nothing to see here

8-10 · 13-01-2014 07:06PM

AVL:

Guzan, Lowton, Vlaar, Clark, Baker, Luna, El Ahmadi, Westwood, Delph, Agbonlahor, Benteke

Vlaar and Baker both start

8-10 · 13-01-2014 07:08PM

Szczesny, Sagna, Mertesacker, Koscielny, Monreal, Wilshere, Flamini, Cazorla, Ozil, Gnabry, Giroud

Gnabry starts, no Arteta means Ozil on pens?

billymitchell · 13-01-2014 07:12PM

Really hoping for Giroud to go nuts, but I am fairly certain it isn't going to happen.

Mr.Prodston · 13-01-2014 07:14PM

No Arteta?

Excuse me while I file that transfer under "stupidest gamble ever", proceed to light a fire, get some whiskey and pour a glass over the file, throw it in the fire, watch the flames and down the rest of the bottle.

If Ozil scores a penalty then I may just hop into the fire myself. That Walcott injury has been a disaster but I deserve no points for making that stupid short term transfer.

Iused2likebusts · 13-01-2014 07:18PM

kos and ozil tonight. Will gladly give up the kos c.s as lots have doubled up on arsenal including the 2 people ahead of me in paid league and am sure nearly everybody has atleast 1 arsenal def at this stage.

8-10 · 13-01-2014 07:21PM

Ozil can get a Walcott-like injury please.

Calf injury

irish son · 13-01-2014 07:32PM

No Podolski :mad: Hope he doesn't come on now as I've Sterling first sub but he more than likely will.
