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.

Dropped 600,000 places after yesterdays disaster. Went from 4th and in touching space of the top of my league to 13th, woeful stuff altogether. Sterling, Siggy & Taylor playing today, need another two goalfests.

Look at this guy. May not be the biggest jump but...

I know nobody here plays the Yahoo game but this made me smile today so have to share it, I went from 2nd last in my mates league to 1st with this team

They dont have weekly rankings but I think I might be very close to 1st this week.

68 points brings me from 9k into 2k. Fully expect to drop back to around 5k once the vice captains is sorted.

Still have Wisdom, Di Maria, Sterling, Sigurdsson and Taylor to play though! Could the magical 100 be on?

I hope so. I have 4 out of 5 players you mentioned.

My team scored 37 including Boyd's 8 off the bench. The War Office's team however, will be on 93 after subs with Sigurdsson, Di Maria & Taylor still to play, lifting her from over 400k to 37k overall and to top of her Work league.

Her interest in FPL has gone from zero to inquisitive in a "how much will I win" sense over the course of one evening. Another convert maybe :pac:

I took your advice on board
Cheers for that, it convinced me to go for him but I also brought Welbeck in too
Already had Aguero

Had 2 fts
Costa, Ade, Chadli out = 2 points
Sanchez, Welbeck, Pelle in = 35 points

Tadic had been in the original plans but I had the exact amount for Sanchez and well... I won't get much sympathy for missing out on those extra 10 points

Nice one. Can't beat Clint here :cool:

Wow, today's 74 takes me from around 74k to 9,676. Delighted.

Nice one.

I do expect a lot of points to come in after the last game (vc's + Boyd's / others points). Don't pay much attention to the overall ranking yet tbh.

With that score you should be fine, though.

AdMMM

I'm in the strange situation where I'm languishing around the 1m mark for the gameweek, but am still on a green arrow moving into the top 200k!

watching MOTD - wow, cisse! Definitely won't be getting him in any time soon, lol

IsMiseMyself

One of my opponents is on 101 for the week, with five still to play. He jumped from around 700k to 50k. That's crazy. Leapfrogged me to first (I'm on a lowly 37) in our private league too. That's probably the biggest jump I've ever seen, relative to final placement.

Never doubted you for a second man. Sure haven't you turned the corner form wise, I'm gonna keep you and get a few price rises out of you!

Boyd hit the crossbar too.........nice price rise incoming hopefully

What was the -4? Aguero for Costa and Pelle for Ade? If you picked Pellè over Welbeck I must say I'd take a bit of credit for it with my special advice yeah I'm a Mourinhesque arrogant twat :pac:

Siggy ends up my captain this week, didn't even look at who I had VC as I assumed costa would play some part today

wonski

What a day:D

Busy at work so didn't follow the games.

55 + 19 (Aguero vc's points) + 2 from bench (for Costa)

76 points with Taylor, Sterling, DiMaria and Siggy to play. Huge week.

I know i shouldn't complain but was going to do Elmohamady to Boyd last night to release some funds to finally get Chelsea defender in this week(Azpi).
At last moment decided to hold and do double transfer this week. Would be nice to have another few points...

Aguero, Pelle and Costa up front seems to be a perfect combination now. I don't think there is a better combo out there after today's results.
Doubling up on Southampton defence finally paid off.

Van Aanholt is my first sub and Costa didn't play. Will he come in? Hardly seems fair if I'm penalised 2 pts because one of my players is injured.

Why did you put him first sub ? Costa was a major injury doubt so you decided if that happened PVA would come in ?
I switched subs around last night for that reason.
Moved Boyd to first sub and PVA to last as he was away to an in form team.
Sub order is part of the game .....

68, 4 left to play, up to 240k from 730k, a good week in a terrible season so far, will fall a lot with the Costa captainers though. Put Hutton first sub before Boyd, bad decision, can't even call it unlucky but can't complain this week, hopefully it kickstarts my season, still hoping for a top 5k finish.

I agree totally re Aguero. There are a few lads in work in their first season and I was trying to tell them Aguero was essential but they just couldn't see it with cheaper lads like Pelle and Ulloa delivering recently. I think they will on Monday

Exact same. One lads who only started taking it seriously last season mainly because I was into it too, off to a flyer this year too. Told him he needed to get Aguero and he laughed at me last week. Passed him out today

Neoulous

38 without Aguero and with ADM (VC). 6 to come off the bench from Wanyama which is a real unexpected bonus. 5 to play (template midfield + Shawcross and Wisdom).

Dummett's 8 pts on the bench are annoying but wasn't sure if he'd start... Ah well you can't have it all.

Must get Aguero in now. Sounds like Costa -> Aguero is the easiest route...

I was a bit worried about the amount of people who could be benefitting from having Aguero as the VC but this has calmed me down a bit I suppose.

29 points with 6 coming off the bench (Boyd 8 O'Shea -2). Pellè, Lloris and Fabregas did well, Costa, Dzeko and Azpi not so much. Almost went Costa to Aguero this morning but decided against.

Gone from 2k to 17k overall, but haven't done badly in my leagues thankfully. Still have Sterling, Siggy, ADM (c), Taylor and Wilson to go, 0-0 in the 4 o'clock kick off tomorrow would go down a treat.
