Gameweek 8 Matchday Thread

Lemlin

The two week break is over so hopefully it'll be a case of back with a bang for most of us. I line out as follows:

Forster
Duff PVA Taylor
Fabregas Di Maria Sterling Siggy
Costa (c) Aguero Pelle
Subs: Elliott, Moore, Wisdom, Marney.

Hoping for a big week from Aguero.

Very similar team to yis both.

Forster in goal.
Clyne, Duff, Moore
Rest identical. Aguero (c).

Boyd first sub if Costa does miss out.

Didn't get Azpi in the end. I'd miscalculated and was 0.2 short of Moore to Azpi so banking my second ft. Might not bother with him now. Could be Hazard in next week instead.

All about Aguero and a Southampton clean sheet for me.

Sterling, Siggurdsson, Di Maria, Fabregas
Pellé, Costa, Aguero (c).

Subs: Wisdom, Quinn, Chambers.

Banked my transfer so I'll have 2 free next week and 0.5m in the bank. Planning on Fabregas to Hazard being one of them if he does something this weekend. Chelsea still have a tough couple of weeks coming up before everything loosens up, but they seem fixture proof this year.

Forster
Duff Bertrand Baines
ADM Hazard Sig Henderson
Aguero (C) Costa Welbeck

New shiny side after using the wildcard! Taking the armband off Costa but decided to stick with him. Was very tempted to get rid but would have been a bit rash!

extra gravy

Schmeichel
Taylor Bertrand Gibbs
Fab ADM Sterling Siggy
Aguero (c) Costa Welbeck

Looking forward to watching Aguero today.

Just woke this minute to find I have Costa (orange flag) and welbeck (orange flag) Third striker Pelle Siggy fab sterling Silve.

Any advice on captain?
Costa too risky?

Costa will either start or not play at all. He's low risk if you have a good VC.

And on that note, Welbeck or ADM - who's the best VC?

ADM for me

Dice75

Will Sterling deffo start?

HighClass

Mannone
OShea, Taylor, Blackett
Silva, Di Maria(c), Sterling, Fabregas, Siggy
Falcao, Costa

Still not set on my captain, might end up switching it to Falcao before 11.30.

Best of luck to Nody today, his first big day in the new position.

The Wild Bunch

2nd time I've captained Welbeck

He did the business against Villa so heres hoping

harpstilidie

Foster or Mannone guys?

Have Mannone starting at the minute.

Couple of doubts in my team -

Lloris

Wilson, Taylor, Azpi

Sterling, Fab, Siggy, ADM

Costa (c), Pellè (v), Dzeko

Subs - McCarthy (gk) Boyd, O'Shea, Colo.

Lloris and Costa are doubts, but really want to keep my transfer till next week and then get Aguero in. Wasn't expecting much from Lloris this week anyway, and happy for Boyd to come in for Costa if necessary.

Main hope is that Sunderland get a goal against Southampton.

spock.

Krul
Baines(c) Ivanovic Bertrand
Siggy Hazard ADM Sterling
Costa Pelle Welbeck

Start off with a (-4)

Actually, switched VC to ADM rather than Pellè, less risk there I feel.

Mignolet

Wilson Bertrand Taylor

Sterling Fabregas Sigurdsson Silva

Aguero (VC) Costa (C) Pelle

Subs: van Aanholt, Boyd, Chambers (suspended)

Mignolet will be gone soon, I just don't want to burn a transfer yet.

Wilson and Bertrand have nice home games. I'm not sure who to play as third defender but with Pelle starting and Stoke struggling at home I've decided to go for Neil Taylor over van Aanholt.

The midfield speaks for itself really.

I'm struggling massively on who to captain. I generally don't like a 12:45pm captain as I (despite having no statistical evidence to back it up) find they lack the energy, intensity and most importantly goals of a later kick off. Yet Costa may make a cameo if Chelsea are struggling to break Palace down if he doesn't start. If it was guaranteed that Costa would either start or not play at all I'd be much happier about my current decision. Pelle, I just wouldn't feel confident on captaining when I have the other two.

I'll have 2 FT's next week to improve.

Couple of questions:

1) What the **** to do re: captain choice?
2) Boyd or van Aanholt as first sub in case Costa's out?

Thanks and good luck all. Hopefully it will be another good week for the forum.

I'm leaving the captaincy on Costa. I expect him to feature. I think he'll either start or he won't play at all. Even if he is a failure, that many people will captain him it won't be too bad.

Re Boyd vs PVA, PVA has an assist this season and has come close to a goal at least once. I've seen little of note from Boyd and Burnley rarely score so I'd go PVA first sub.

Mr.Prodston

Wildcard resisted so just did RVP to Aguero. No nonsense there and I'm trusting Nolan to outscore Henderson who I'd consider in for a -4. Well I say trust but I trust him as far as I can throw him!

De Gea
Bardsley - Clyne - Coloccini
Di Maria - Fabregas - Siggy - Nolan (:()
Pelle - Costa - Aguero (c)

PVA, Moore, Marney.

I never thought I'd see Collocini in my team again this season but he's the better option on paper over the other 2. Marney's an injury doubt so I'll have no Boyd in for Costa points.

I don't have very high expectations this week it's fair to say.
