    Giroud and Koscielny in
    Austin and Bertrand out -4

    Mignolet
    Huth Morgan Ivanovic Koscielny
    Hazard Ramsey Fabregas
    Vardy Benteke(c) Giroud

    Not happy about having to double up on Leicester defence and Chelsea midfield but didn't want to take a second -4

    At work today :(

    Interest in this seasons FF is almost fully depleted and the 1% chance I still have of getting into the FSA Premier League is all that's keeping me going at this stage.

    I made transfers + picked my team after the Arsenal win on Monday night.

    I benched Fabregas and I'm playing Coutinho and Albrighton!!
    I don't have Kane and I don't have Silva.
    I've taken a -4.
    I don't expect a good week.
    Roll on next season

    I only have 3 playing today so I'm going to be bored!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,261 ✭✭✭harpstilidie


    Would you guys play Davis (lei) or Mignolet (che)?

    Davis. Slightly better chances of a CS and save points IMO. Have not checked bookies odds though.

    play schlupp or alder?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,553 ✭✭✭✭Copper_pipe


    Myhill
    Terry-Bertrand-Bellerin
    Hazard-Sanchez-Silva-Albrighton
    kane-Giroud-Aguero(c)

    Starting with a -4

    Now time for my driving lesson.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,031 ✭✭✭tmc86


    start Vardy or Hendo?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,459 ✭✭✭T-b0n3


    Brought in Bellerín & Sánchez for Bertie & Sterling, -4 points.

    Myhill
    Terry, Bellerín, Dawson.
    Sánchez, Hazard, Ramsey, Silva.
    Kane, Tekkers, Agüero.

    Schmeichel, PVA, Cork, Naughton.

    Not sure what keeper to play. Would normally go with the home player, but just not sure. Clean sheet odds, very close.

    LEICESTER 11/5
    WEST BROM 23/10

    my wife is in the running for a nice money prize. top 5 is EXTREMELY tight at the moment . only 30 points separating them and only 4 points separating 2nd 3rd and her in 4th!
    she has brought sanchez in this week has the funds for whichever other arsenal mid next week and has pva as Sunderland cover
    so her dilemma is as follows
    starting defence this week is terry schlupp and one of Bertrand \alder
    so if she wants an arsenal defender (kos) it will take a -4 this week or next
    I figure if she is to do it may as well be this week ? or just leave it and go with just 2 arsenal.............
    one other thing is all the others will have a saints defender playing this week most likely as well.......

    Jesus, your poor wife must be up all night with the stress of it all:(:pac:

    Communion myself in two weeks dahat, fortunately the last week is Sunday games as the poor girl would probably be traumatised from the experience, mood swings etc:o:p

    Just back from Disneyland last night, need to spend a few minutes now catching up.

    she is a pretty conservative player. does not like hits and does not overthink it. she is doing better than me AGAIN (16k) so there is a lesson in there for me :D
    however I wanted her to take the arsenal hit last week for Sanchez and she didn't and it cost her a lot!
    a hit for an arsenal defender is even trickier to call!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭internet_user


    taken a -4 to bring in sanchez, something i should of done last week!

    Myhil
    Bellerin Skrtel Schlupp
    Sanchez Hazard Fabregas Ozil
    Kane Aguero(C) Austin

    Davis, Walters, Cresswell, PVA

    I don't think a hit for an Arsenal defender is a good move this week anyway, she has good options with all her defenders. Perhaps next week it could be justified if circumstances make it look like certain players will be guaranteed to start both. I think Bellerin is undoubtedly the fantasy jewel for Arsenal and a bettr player than Debuchy but the latter will need gametime before the end of the season and in reality Arsenal have little to play for.

    My wife once beat me at a rifle shooting range in New Zealand and I sulked for days, she usually gets the better of me at scrabble but I don't take that well either. If she beat me at fantasy football I think it would be grounds for divorce.;)

    After last week I nearly feel like retiring from this season on a high :pac:

    That and I can't figure out what the hell to do with Hazard, Henderbus, Skrtel and Ivanovic :o

    brought in bellerin for ivanovic to make funds for sterling to sanchez!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 268 ✭✭Little Bubbles


    Will chelsea play cahil and terry or will zouma get a game. Luis will prob play also.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 48,457 ✭✭✭✭km79


    brought in bellerin for ivanovic to make funds for sterling to sanchez!

    that will be a popular move for a lot I'd say this week and next !


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


    How does Hazard to Ozil sound and hoping for a 0-0 with Skrtel and Ivanovic playing?

    Might play C Dawson over the Henderbus and double up on Pulisball.

    That way I can pick my last Arsenal player next week. Theo came to me in a dream and told me to play him against Sunderland :)

    yeah hopefully debuchy remains out for the remainder! or at least for the DGW!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,274 ✭✭✭✭FHFC


    Wee bit worried about the dreaded 10 min cameo from Ramsey but have to play him really.

    Kos in for Bertrand.

    Myhil
    Terry Kos Huth
    Haz, Ramsey, Sanchez, Albrighton
    Kane, Aguero (c), Benteke
    Bolasie first sub if Rambo doesn't feature.


    Intend to tune out for the rest of the day. Enjoy the agony and ecstasy on the thread.

    See yis after motd.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,747 ✭✭✭Ziegler1988


    Rolling with
    Schmeichel
    Terrivanovic Skrtel
    Haz Silva Sanchez Hendo
    Aguero(c) Vardy Kane

    Sunderland cleanie in the early match would be a crap start with Panti+PVA on the bench

    My missus made a team 10 GWs or so and I'm only 10 points ahead.......

    And this is exactly what I've done :cool:

    Myhill
    Dawson - Ivanovic - Skrtel - Schlupp
    Ozil - Silva - Sanchez
    N'Doye - Benteke - Aguero (c)

    Henderbus - Phillips - PVA

    And yes I immediately regret making such a Hazardous decision :o
