Gameweek 2 match day thread

Copper_pipe · 14-08-2015 1:20pm

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!!

x43r0 · 14-08-2015 1:29pm

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 · 14-08-2015 1:38pm

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 · 14-08-2015 1:58pm

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.

Rant over

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 · 14-08-2015 2:22pm

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 · 14-08-2015 2:24pm

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

Chesty08 · 14-08-2015 2:35pm

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 3:04pm

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 3:35pm

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 3:51pm

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 4:07pm

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 4:12pm

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 4:13pm

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 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 4:23pm

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

ScummyMan · 14-08-2015 4:37pm

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!

Scorpion Sting · 14-08-2015 4:43pm

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 4:45pm

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

Iused2likebusts · 14-08-2015 4:45pm

Still to make a move debating shifting Walcott or hazard.

Going with : Oxford, Coates, Mertesacker

But fxxk it, I'm going with Rooney as Capt. This bl ood y game has my head wrecked. No doubt this means Kane will get a hat trick

Probably Theo at least Hazard is going to get his game and sure he's all but nailed for that CS point :pac::pac:

patmac · 14-08-2015 5:02pm

I have a good feeling about this week after last week's cluster**** of 27 points. Brought in Romero for Courtois early and got away with it.
Team Romero
Bellerin, Kolorov, Williams,
mane, Walcott, Depay, Fab,
Kane (c), Rooney, Sakho.
Subs, Hennessey,Morgan, Saylor, Fletcher,

jimmii · 14-08-2015 5:04pm

Bit of scout pick action for your Friday evening viewing:

No tekkers is a big one bit surprised at that.

Ziegler1988 · 14-08-2015 5:07pm

If Wenger starts the lineup predicted by The Guardian, I'll personally march down from the stands at Selhurst Park and give him a piece of my mind :cool:. I'm starting to get twitchy over Theo, but I love banking transfers and am not willing to commit to Ayew yet (I have Sakho so Payet is a no go). Maybe I'll try and break Swiper's TV record if Theo is benched again
