Gameweek 8 Matchday Thread

Lemlin · 2014-10-18 04:27:09

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.

On course for 99 points with Falcao to play. Provided he doesn't get sent off should be making the century!

Congrats. Think my century dream is over. Need 8 from Di Maria.

That's hardly in the realms of fantasy though....

What an unlucky week for me. Went from top 5000 in the world to God knows where now. Top of all my leagues to mid table thanks to one bad game week.

18 pts.

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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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 Obertan

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

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.

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.

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....

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!!

I got 10 points from Siggy, Taylor and Sterling and moved up 6k places from 49k last night to 43k today.

20 points still to sub in too.

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.
