    I better have back up for PVA so ! Think I may get Gabriel in for smith but then I can't get tadic.........with Adrian also out I don't like carrying 2 red flags into final gw

    Who would play instead of PVA though? They don't seem to have another senior left back so it would mean either playing someone out of position or calling up a youngster. Big Sam will want to end the season on a high so can't see him making a huge amount of changes and risk getting a hammering.

    Not much chance of a clean sheet even if he plays.

    Boards must have some of the toughest leagues in the world.
    I have broken into the top 5k in the world but still find myself languishing in 12th in The boards pay league and 9th in the FSA qualifying league :o

    I somehow managed to misclick my TC chip last week as Payet ended up being normal captain. I still have no idea how that happened, I distinctly remember activating the TC ship.

    Anyhow; maybe this is an opportunity in disguise; Is Sanchez (TC) the only sensible option?

    Ah that's annoying :( Sensible either him or Aguero i'd say. Riskier options Tadic, Giroud, Vardy, Mane

    Anyone have any things that stand out from this season that we'll look back on and laugh/find strange/remember fondly etc in a couple of years time? Some of mine:

    - Mahrez and Vardy being the 2 of the 3 top points scorers in the whole game. Lets be honest, there's insane and there's that.

    - As things stand, Gomes looks set to be the highest scoring goalkeeper while Schmeichel looks set to be the 4th highest. Pretty astonishing.

    - Gomis starting like a house on fire and making his way into plenty of teams with 4 goals in his first 4 games, then scores 2 over the course of the next 33 games.

    - Kolarov's start was also unbelievable. 7, 9, 15, 6 and 9 in his first four games.

    - Igahlo's scores were also pretty cool, although I never owned him at any stage of the season.

    - On an opposite note, Harry Kane was in many initial teams but only returned points in 1 of his first 9 gameweeks. Now he's guaranteed to finish as the 2nd or 3rd highest points scorer this season!

    - Aguero's 5 goal haul against Newcastle and Sanchez's DGW34 haul will be right up there for treble captainers of either.

    Actually think Aguero has been a disappointment this season, he has scored well in patches but Mahrez/Vardy made it easy for everyone to have him so bis returns weremt reflected in OR for me.

    Rotation has been a big issue towards season end amd while this is normal it is something I'm going to pay more attention to next season.

    Daniels' unbelievable run of form from GW20-30.

    There always seems to be a 4.5m keeper very near the top of the goalkeepers, the problem is trying to pick which one

    Lukaku going from troll to consistent scorer that could be trusted with the armband back to troll
    Scott Dann reaching 5.9m
    A pen taking defender, Charlie Daniels

    Is Yaya going too play this game do we think lads?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,022 ✭✭✭✭Iused2likebusts


    Leicester going from having to be bribed with pizza to keep a clean sheet to keeping clean sheets week in week out.

    And I took him out of my team (had him from GW2/3) with my late first WC!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,816 ✭✭✭Benzino


    Lots of GK combos comprised of two of Mig, Robles, Mannone around me. Could be a nice little head start with DDG

    Mig should start though, as Ward is injured.

    Bogdan may start

    He better! If Mignolet were to start and pick up an injury...then we'd be left with Bogdan in goal for a Europa League Final :eek::eek::eek:

    Would advise avoiding Liverpool players entirely - realistically nothing to play for; West Brom at least have a cash incentive (from the Guardian)....

    "West Brom, currently 15th, could finish as high as 12th should they beat whichever youthful side Klopp fields – worth £3,734,688 in extra prize money"

    Bogdan not in the Europa League squad. They would be likely left with Andrew Firth the under 21 keeper.

    How did Kol manage 5 scores in his first 4 games ? That really was some start! ;)

    I'd a feeling that would happen . I need mannone to start now.

    So do I but I don't think he will. Not worth a hit though. Goalkeeperless GW38 I fear.

    I've a bit of a dilemma. I'm 8 pts clear in a league for 900 aus dollars. The lad behind me has a much better defence than me this week and I have a better attack. I'm thinking of a -4 to ddg and monreal two players that he has rather than doing my initial move to Bellerin and then hope Mannone plays.

    If Mannone gets zero and DDG gets 7(-4) its only 3 points gained, i.e. 3 points is the max its likely to cut off your lead if you don't do it and DDG gets 7.

    If Mannone gets zero but United concede you are down 2 points.

    If Mannone plays and gets 2 you could be down 4 points. More if Mannone gets a CS and DDG concedes.

    Very little in it. I'd possibly chance Mannone as if it goes wrong you still have a 5 point lead.

    Unless some fecker saves a penalty. :D

    I'd probably bring in Monreal as a blocker, not sure if I'd take a hit, even if Mannone doesn't play it's unlikely Ddg would make up 8pts on you... Unless he saves a penalty

    My back seven is
    Mannone hennessey
    Morgan daniels kone pva Cresswell.

    I'm thinking if I only make 1 transfer I'd be better off bringing in a keeper as I should definetly have 3 defenders start. I could get ddg and play
    Ddg kone pva Cresswell which is probably better than Mannone monreal pva Cresswell when you consider that Mannone may not start.
