Starting with the same team as last week bar transfer of Courtois to Mignolet(doubling up on Liverpool) and Pelle as captaib

Edit: oh I have swapped Berahino to the bench and am starting Sinclair

Disaster for Walcott owners if that happens, his value will plummet if he blanks again.

I'm the same but mine is 100% the same team as last week other than benching Azpi and starting Gomez and making Kane captain instead of Rooney and changing the order of my subs. Its like 80% of 100% of the same anyway which is like 100% most of the time.

:pac::pac:

podge018 · 14-08-2015 04:04PM

Just benched Azpilicueta for Coates.

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

Just wish one had a harder game to make it easy

Clean sheet odds, as well as Coates being the worst attacking threat of the 3.

I'm starting Coates myself though, are you sure you need to use the 253 this week?

Just transferred him out for Cazorla. At 9.0, he's too much of a risk.

T-b0n3 · 14-08-2015 04:35PM

As I mentioned on the transfers thread I've swapped Theo out for Payet so lining up as follows:

Ruddy
Bellerin, Coates, Cedric
Mane, Hazard, Payet, Marehz
Kane (C), Rooney, Sakho

Rudd, Cabaye, Morgan, Francis.

Hoping Cedric starts again after being subbed at HT and the west ham boys run riot. Fingers crossed dumping Theo doesn't bite me in the ass!

Same XI here. Swapping armband from Rooney to Kane. Banking transfer although I do have Walcott.

I don't think I have ever so good about banking before!

iba · 14-08-2015 04:51PM

Which three defenders (or should I go with four) from these five:

Caotes (Sunderland)

Azpi (Chelsea)

Oxford (WH)

Huth (lecister)

Metersecker (Arsenal)

Who to Captain from:

Rooney (MU)

Kane (Spurs)

Sakho (WH)

Thanks

Oxford, Coates, Mertesacker - Man City away is probably the 1 game all season I wouldn't be starting Azpilicueta.

I'd captain Kane there. Rooney hasn't scored away from home since May 2014 as someone else noted in another thread. West Ham are West Ham. . .

bezuaua · 14-08-2015 05:07PM

Banking and rolling with this:

Stekelenburg
Bellerin, Gomez, Kolarov
Fabregas, Ozil, Henderson, Mata
Deeney, Aguero, Kane (C)

McCarthy, Azpilicueta, Bentaleb, Saylor

sheroman01 · 14-08-2015 05:12PM

Ruddy
Azpi, Alderweirdeld, O'Shea (Francis)
Hazard, Payet, Depay, Anya
Pelle Rooney Kane (c)

A -4 hit and the 2 P's are in, Pelle and Payet. Looking forward to this GW!

DwightSchrute1 · 14-08-2015 05:13PM

Fabianski
Darmian Bellerin Cresswell
Cazorla, Hazard, Depay, Henderson
Deeney, Beneteke (C), Rooney

Torn between Beneteke and Rooney for captain. I think Beneteke is just about the better option due to playing at home against one of the promoted teams. Rooney's record against Villa does scare me though. Damn this game!!

Never sure, but Fabregas possibly at 10 and good fixtures for Payet,Mane,Chadli (-4) with Sterling as well has really tempted me.

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 went Rodriguez for near enough the same reasons plus got stingy year with pelle the arse..... Plus Rodriguez looked very very good last week....

City away is a game I want to start Azpilicueta. Chelsea have conceded one goal in their last two away games at City. Mourinho knows how to shut them down.

I fully expect City to now win 4-0, considering I've jinxed it.

breffni bogballer · 14-08-2015 05:23PM

Lots of people leaving azpi on bench,jose will park the bus v city

ScummyMan · 14-08-2015 05:37PM

Do not like having Walcott in my team AT ALL, need to bank the transfer for Aguero next week though so here's hoping he pulls a hat trick out of the bag.

Ah, but if he bags a hattrick then you will not sell him and will be left with a conundrum on how to get Aguero in!
I hate those conundrums!

Too true, this bloody game will be the death of us! :pac:

Ruddy

Cedric - Bellerin - Coates
Hazard - Mane - Henderson - Sterling

Rooney - Kane (c) - Sakho

Rudd - Fletcher - Huth - Francis

Got rid of Walcott as I can't be dealing with the 'will he, won't he start?'. Brought Mane in as Southampton have a good set of fixtures on the horizon.

there is more of a chance of a Chelsea cleanie in this big away games than some of the lower profile home games!

irish son · 14-08-2015 05:45PM

Brought Fabianski in for Courtouis this week.

Fabianski
Richards Kaboul Bassong
Hendo Ozil Walcott Hazard Sterling
Benteke(c) Rooney

Hoping to beat my 20 of last week
