    Can't wait, wife dispatched to her mother's with child and just me and the telly left to enjoy the spoils.

    10 home players, most in good form...so hoping for a bumper score all right.

    To spice things up I am going on a media blackout today and will watch MOTD 'live' this evening without knowing the scores in advance.

    I do it about once a month, nay bother!
    It is a great experience, once the wife and kid are in bed, crack open a few beers and sit back and enjoy MOTD. Then check FPL scores, check the craic in here etc.

    It really is worth it IMO and not that hard to do.

    Turn of data on the phone and stay away from pcs and tablets...and switch the music in the kitchen from Planet Rock radio to iPod random shuffle!
    My buddies know me well enough at this stage not to send spoiler texts etc.

    I've 8 at home and all my bench are away.

    After a successful enough wildcard last week and making my transfer early this week I've pretty much not touched my team since Sunday. Very odd feeling.

    Jesus I wouldnt have picked today though, with the golf, hurling final replay and some great soccer matches on. Glued to the TV for the day is my plan, but each to their own


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,224 ✭✭✭✭SantryRed


    Mannone.
    Duff, Bertrand, Wisdom.
    Sterling, Sigurdsson, Fabregas, ADM (c).
    Costa, Aguero, Pellé.

    Fancy a big score this week.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 76 ✭✭CorkyLFC


    De Gea or Krul??

    Wisdom or Duff??

    De Gea and Wisdom. De Gea at home and I wouldnt put any faith in the Newcastle defense.
    Wisdom is also at home, few clean sheets this season, and playing a team who's only scored 1 all season

    I've gone De Gea and Wisdom. Newcastle conceded 9 goals in their last 3 PL games (they conceded 2 in the LC if I'm not mistaken). 4 games in a row Burnley have not scored. Of course, the way the game's going this year, this implacable logic could get destroyed after 1 min of playing :pac: :rolleyes:...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 8,502 ✭✭✭spock.


    Looking at the fixtures, i found that my entire starting 11 will have played by 5pm this evening.
    10 of the them playing in 3oc kick offs!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 114 ✭✭Keller Bear


    Out of these 3, what 2 would you play?

    Wisdom, Duff, Moreno

    WBA are at home to Burnley. Feel really negative hoping for a 0-0 with Wisdom and Duff on my team, so no sure to go with Moreno against Everton and presume that he will get no clean sheet but some attacking points.

    I'd say a 0-0 between WBA and Burnley sound smore probable than a Liverpool CS. But it's tough to predict CS this year...

    As for myself, still debating whether to play Taylor or Naismith ahead of Pieters...

    I would go Pieters over Taylor, and I think Pieters might get more (i.e. clean sheet) against a dour Newcastle than Naismith scoring/assisting despite a leaky Liverpool defense.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 16,305 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Prodston


    Assuming everything has remained as I hope I left it yesterday I should have 10 at home and Siggy!

    De Gea
    Bardsley - Clyne - PVA
    Di Maria - Fabregas - Siggy - Ramsey
    Rooney - Pelle - Costa (c)

    Moore, Coloccini, Marney

    On paper a good week so expecting things to go awry spectacularly :pac:

    Sterling the big fear but a nicely rested Ramsey facing Spurs in a derby is no bad option to have, hopefully!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 40,489 ✭✭✭✭KevIRL


    Mignolet, manquillo, lovren, skrtel, Moreno,gerrard, hendo, lallana, sterling, markovic, Balotelli
    Subs: Jones Toure Enrique Lucas Suso Coutinho Lambert

    Everton XI to face Liverpool: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Barry, McCarthy, Besic, Mirallas, Naismith, Lukaku #LFCvEFC

    Mannone
    Wisdom, OShea, Taylor
    Fabregas, Ramsey, Sterling, Di Maria(c)
    Falcao, Costa, Ulloa

    Majority of the team is playing at home so hopefully I'll get a good result. Love the fact that all the big hitters bar Liverpool & Arsenal are on at 3pm, should make for an interesting few hours!

    Confirmed @Everton starting XI v #LFC: Howard, Hibbert, Baines, Jagielka, Stones, Barry, McCarthy, Besic, Mirallas, Naismith, Lukaku


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,022 ✭✭✭jamesbere


    With both teams defences been poor so far you wouldt hink there should be plenty of goals in this game. Mainly for sterling

    Everton are playing 3 defensive midfielders so its clear their gameplan - defend and maybe sneak one on the break or from a set piece. Hibbert v Sterling could be a mismatch tho

    McCarthy is not a defensive midfielder.

    I'm also not sure if Martinez knows what defensive is! He just lived off Moyes' work last season.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,183 ✭✭✭Neamhshuntasach


    1-1 in the early game with Sterling and Besic scoring. No assist for the Sterling goal and Barry assisting Besic. Sterling because i have him. And Besic and Barry because nobody has them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,529 ✭✭✭✭km79


    Moreno will deliver points this week !
