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.

Have jumped 120k places after tonight to 8k. Falcao hat trick to add to the madness tomorrow night

Scorpion Sting

On 77 points with Boyd's 8 to sub in so really 85 with Di Maria left. Gained a further 2k places to move up to 15.6k so things are looking good. Even though I have Di Maria I would be happy if he only gets an assist tomorrow as a lot of people have him either captained or vice captained with Costa captained so if he manages a big points haul I will almost certainly drop back a good bit. Added to that numerous lads in my private league have him captained so just the 5 tomorrow Angel and we'll be rocking.

SlickRic

72 before Boyd comes in, plus ADM plays tomorrow.

up 3k from yesterday to 17k after Naylor, Siggy and Sterling today.

Where I was at this stage last year:

The 49k I'm sitting at this season, with 20 points yet to sub in, looks a whole lot better.

Wasn't here GW8 last year:o. Came in GW12 and won the GW12 league:cool:

Now I'm on 58 with Aguero's extra 19 to come, as well as -2 from PVA and 1 from Moore (Boyd as 3rd sub:o).

Di Maria to come tomorrow.

Strangely enough I rose approx 1.5K places today to 23.5K despite only having Siggy and Sterling playing, 2 that supposedly 'everyone' has. Just shows that the 'everyone has them' line never really applies.
Have 53 points with ADM and DDG to play tomorrow and 11 points coming off the bench courtesy of Obertant

It was the week I bought and captained michu. Sold Ramsey having owned him for one fruitless week. Swansea score four with nothing from michu. Ramsey was supposed to be rested but finished with a double digit score I think.

Ramsey came on for Flamini and scored a goal and got an assist! Just had a read of the thread there.

My team had Suarez and Sturridge and Ramsey, Ozil and Giroud - 5 of my seven attackers from two teams!!

First thing to note from that thread last year is that I miss Moreau. Always had interesting options and opinions

Also quite a different start to this season sitting in and about 3k compared to this time last year...

50 points for the week, bang on average and seeing more of the scores here around the same as myself is reassuring. Up from 980k last night to 867k tonight....

:eek: :pac:

PARlance

With Boyd on my bench & ADM yet to play, plus that fact that I've transferred him out.... It'd be very very sweet if he pulled a hammy in the warmup.

The way my week is going, he probably will.

Only dropped from 54k to 57k today which is a result as Sterling was my only player. Hoping to cling onto a top 100k spot after tomorrow's adjustments but I'd say 150k might be more realistic.

94 points this week, my best week so far.

Dropped 2 places to 10th in Ultimate, only ADM to play there tomorrow though. Will be doing very well to keep a top 20 place I'd say.

All told, a Utd clean sheet, ADM doing something and Falcoa doing nothing would be ideal tomorrow night

Another week. Another nightmare. 46 points including the 3 from Ozil. More ground last in private league. I'll be 100+ points behind after this GW. Major captain fail with Lukaku.

Looks like it won't be too terrible when the Costa(c)/Aguero(vc) come into play tomorrow. ADM(vc) could be bad even though I have him.

The actual figures are here http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=92666723&postcount=806

However the top 10k figures for ADM as VC is a worry alright.

Better for my rank that he scores low, but I still want my ton!

The 9 from Sterling and Sig today moves me up about 4k to 68k with my 8 auto sub points to be added.

Dempsey

2 points today from a form player... Di Maria better fluke some more shots tomorrow

Mr.Prodston

Sterling's 7 only pushed me back just over 1k to 3,432 and 78 for the week.

PVA's -2 coupled with the influx from other benches will be interesting tomorrow night. Di Maria and De Gea to go now.

Necronomicon

84 with Di Maria and Wisdom to play. Moved up another 1k places to 8,500 today. Would expect to drop when the auto subs and captaincy changes kick in, but not by too much hopefully.

Nib

70 after Siggy and Sterling's 9 points today. Brings me up to 1111 overall. Starting to feel dizzy now. ADM to play.

SpaceCowb0y

78 with ADM to play tomorrow. As a Pool fan though I'd be happy enough with a nil all draw or a loss for UTD. Feels good seeing us just outside top 4 again even it was scrappy earlier. Can't see West Brom containing things tomorrow night though.

Lemlin

57 points with 20 to sub in so 77 points with Di Maria left to play.

FutureGuy

51 with Pelle to switch to C and Boyd off the bench. ADM to play.

was anonymous after that . very poor

I just got a snippet of Charlie Adams post match interview, did I hear him say that they basically targeted Siggy?

They were certainly getting in his face a little, a lot revolves around him for Swansea, will be interesting to see if others start to target him.

2points, that'll do Sig, that'll do

eh i dunno

Need cap Falcao and ADM to run riot tomorrow. Diame as 3rd sub with 7 points aint good when 2 subs are getting brought in with a grand total of zero

Ouch, thats the thing about early in the season, rankings can be very volatile, even moreso this season with so many of the teams being so similar
