Banking the transfer - rolling with same rubbish team as last week

paulie21

Schmeichel

Darmian Azpilicueta Mertesacker

Mahrez Depay Henderson Hazard

Sakho(C) Rooney Deeney

Elliot Sterling PVA Ward

2nd Row Donkey

2-5-3 chip activated - 3 of my 5 defenders are not starting so I had no choice (or so I tell myself). Plus I left Mahrez on the bench last weekend

Banked the transfer so I can sort out defence next week.

Stekelenburg

Bellerin
Yoshinda

Hazard
Sterling
Payet
Mahrez
Henderson

Rooney
Kane
Pelle

3 none playing defenders on bench - Mings, Saylor and Senderos (Senderos. . FFS, what was I thinking)

SantryRed

Set up with:

Ruddy
Azpi--Coates--Mertesacker
Sterling--Payet--Ibe--Cabaye
Rooney--Kane--Benteke (c)

Bench: Hennessey, Fabregas, Bassong, Taylor

Necronomicon

Myhill
Bellerin--Gomez--Targett
Ozil--Hazard--Sterling--Depay
Sakho--Rooney--Benteke(c)

Hennessy, Coates, Huth, Bentaleb

Transfer banked. The only decision I'm trying to make is Targett vs. Coates for a starting place. I don't trust Sunderland after last weekend, so I think this is how I'll line up.

lot of people gonna have the same captain as last week and have 2 free transfers next week me thinks.......

Seems like it. A lot of people planned to roll it to allow Aguero in for free so makes sense. Many will probably end up going the same captain next week with Rooney home to Newcastle and then wave good bye to him when Kun comes in for Watford.

dahat

Coates,Bellrin,Cedric.

Really tempted to play all out attack chip with Fabregas likely to play at 10 if Oscar fails to recover (doubtful)

Question is which defender to drop?

AidySevenfold

McCarthy

Clyne Coates Bellerin

Hazard Payet Sterling Chadli

Pelle (C) Rooney Benteke

Subs: Ruddy, Huth, Sinclair, S.Taylor

On The Q.T

I think this could be a record week of banking the transfer

DarraghF197

Cech

Cresswell Koscielny Clyne (VC)

Fabregas Cazorla Gnabry Mane

Pelle (C) Kane Defoe

Subs: Guzan Baines Williams Bolasie

Why? Surely they can't be as bad as last week.

Just wish one had a harder game to make it easy

Not sure who to captain between Rooney and Benteke, probably look at the polls at about 6.30 and decide based on them.

Butland
Huth
Anya
S. Taylor

The polls?

The poll on the captain thread.

Thinking of doing it myself. Especially with Walcott due to drop in price tonight. May transfer him out after the deadline and before the price drops.

FHFC

Full-back Gael Clichy is also back in contention after overcoming a recent ankle problem #MCFC

Depending on fitness there is decent chance he'll play on Sunday. These are the kind of tighter games Pellegrini used to keep him for.

Copper_pipe

One of the few playing with 10 this week.

Bellerin-Huth- Cedric
Hazard-Payet-Sterling-Walcott
Wilson-Rooney-Benteke

Did Payet for Ritchie and gonna wait on Courtois.

Have Benteke captain ATM , Rooney leads the FFS poll and Benteke leads the Boards poll...DECISIONS!!

I'm surprised by the Benteke love here

We have Arsenal and United away in the next 4 GW's

I'm holding onto Pellé as Southampton have much better fixtures (albeit on paper)

I agree. He's just such a good captain option this week its scary not owning him. But looking back at the fixtures I'm reminding myself why i have Kane instead.

Nib

Pantillimon
Bellerin Azpilicueta
Fabregas Walcott Mahrez Depay Sterling
Rooney Deeney Benteke(c)

Ward Mings Saylor

2-5-3 activated, I really made an arse of picking cheap defenders.

OneColdHand

Will be lining out as follows:

McCarthy

Mertesacker - Bassong - Coates

Hazard - Ozil - Mane - Henderson

Rooney - Benteke (C) - Sakho

Subs: Courtois - Bentaleb - Francis - S. Taylor

After my atrocious start to the season, I'm quite nervous about this GW. Haven't made any transfers. If I can be (even slightly) above the average for the week I'll be happy and will go into GW3 with 2 free transfers and 2.5m in the bank.

Mings not starting has f'ed me up too. Saylor I have too but I knew he was risky.
I've gone 2-5-3 as well.

I don't have a clue who you support, I can't see the jersey you are no doubt wearing, I don't want to have to read through your post in painstaking detail to decipher which team you are referring to, just write Liverpool, Spurs, Chelsea, Norwich etc.

For me it's his upcoming home games: BOU, WHAM, NOR, VIL in the next 6 games. Will see how he does on Monday, but could be real captain material for those games.

Although I wouldn't captain for the away games. He's capable of scoring against any team.

[Swiper, this next bit is for you]
Certainly, when he used to play for us, we used to find that he could score against all kinds of team. We used to love when he scored against the big team for us, even though we aren't a big team!

Swiper the fox

Shít, I'm on the defensive on two separate threads over the same thing,:p

Sherlock Holmes would only be trottin after ya Zarquon.

Swiper the fox

OK, I think I might have it now

Liverpool and Aston Villa.

Anybody else want to test me out, I'm good at this:p
