Sunday’s Dugout Discussion
Loosen the trousers – today we can look forward to a banquet of Premier League football to accompany the Sunday Roast. There are no less than five games coming up, starting with Blackburn’s local derby with Bolton at Ewood Park at 12pm. Aston Villa and Burnley kick-off a couple of hours later at Vlla Park, followed by Fulham vs Birmingham and Man City vs Liverpool at 3pm. The day’s proceedings are then brought to a bumpy end on the troubled surface at the DW stadium as Wigan host Harry’s Spurs at 4.15.
Dugout Discussion via our live chatroom will be open throughout. There will be two rooms open today, so you can choose your destination according to the “vibe”. You never know, we might see such a frenzy of points, we made need to cordon off a chill out room.
considering gw 28 & 29, which 1 of the followings wld u rather have:
-lee -pienaar -o’hara -others
Got 7.3m left.i need to get rid hunt to make up 11players in gw28.pls guys, ur thoughts are highly appreciated..thanks!
bily or pienner for sure which one though i dont know
pienaar will be the best option Eve have some 2 good fixter for now
i mean fixtures
Pienaar without doubt. In form player, in form team – takes some set pieces too. Lee is playing OK at best in a shite team. Portsmouth are looking decidedly dodgy as an ongoing entity so would hold off until their finances/court appearance is sorted out.
pienaar it is then. thanks!
Dunne > Distin
Tevez > Saha?
with nelson being injured is nelson > alexander a good move?
alexander is looking old and fatiuged just like the rest of his team take a bolton def.
I hope that was a question because ive got ollsen and i hope he’s fine.
I give advise don’t go near Dunne(av), he is in 1# def you should keep him til the end of season, he’ll become very expn to buy.
im thinking alexander because burnley have 4 home games out of the next 6, which are all games they could easily win, plus he takes penaltys!!
tevez to keane and lamps to jiminez 4pt hit worth it?
doesnt keane play for celtic?
Best midfielder valued below 5.7 without missing fixtures?
I’m considering O’hara, Marsh, Ramsey, Lee? Any other options?
I have Lee for 3 week and I only get 5 or 6 pts from him?? other midfielder I’m not so sure.
Gera, Mikel, Muamba, Wilshere
Think i am fixed this week on
Ohara for Valencia and
Bendtner for C Cole.
I am worried about Etherington falling though as will affect my plan to Drogba in in a couple of weeks? Anyone care to predict if Etherington will fall this week?
he’s injured, so his price should be protected (i think)
Etherington will probably drop again around the start of new GW.
Being one of the drivers of the Olsson bandwagon, I am jumping ship and starting the Jack Cork bandwagon. 3 great home games in 3 weeks, playing midfield and looks effective getting forward. Burnley’s best player yesterday.
i’m thinkin about it , need a cheap burnley mid
He is a defender
Will he play when alexander comes back?
I like how you drive these bandwagons – Ollson has been a great buy. Shouldn’t we be keeping him as he plays midpark?
Jack Cork – wasn’t he in Pirates of the Carribean?
Jack Cork: Is there any other player in the epl with fewer syllables ?
Chris Baird?
Jo?
Olsson’s fixtures do not look good for the next 4 GWs, even with the double GW. I wouldn’t want him in my starting XI for any of them, so looking for a cheap defender with good CS/attacking potential.
Bikey/Ricketts/Cork all seem good options.
After watching the Burnley game, if Alexander returns he will probably replace Bikey who would drop to centre back. Or he will come in for the mediocre McDonald….I think.
Apologies for implying you were a girl the other day by the way. I didn’t check your link.
Haha. I did not notice.
This is the sort of abuse I have to put up with from the leader of my league:
1. Jafalad = You – Your fantasy team is linked to it!!!!
2. No Post = Don’t like to be in a position of looking up to others….. (3rd now I note)
3. Catch me in 1 week – I will take a bet on that – Say $50.00 – I will even allow you say 3 weeks….
4. If you believe you will catch me then let us have a further wager between now and the end of the season – Say Loser must Caddy for the winner on a Saturday at Puke…. ( or will your ultimate faith which is known to you not allow such a wager.
A reply is awaited for…… I am sure it will be a weak excuse for cats piss no doubt.
See You at the finish line – I will be waiting your arrival…
Should I take him up on his offer I wonder?
what’s your transfer plans?
Hey DGoal, off topic, but your suggestion to play Given over Hart payed dividends for me !! Cheers !!
I’m glad:)
FF: …and there was me telling you to play Hart over Given…more duff advice.
Not really, I was in two minds too. Glad it worked out for the best !!
Can you put a link in as I suspect you of being “Him.”
lol
Am I being too desperate to swap Tevez for Bent?
To be honest I made mistake to bring Bent, you should go for Bandtner
City HELL!! of fixtures waiting for them and Adelbayor will spoil the party.
Fair enough. Just the thought that I’ll see Bendtner every time I open my account pisses me. But I have to play it cool I guess.
No Bent has awesome fix
Yeah, but his form worries me slightly.
If bent is playing for arsenal he probably will score plainty of goals but sunderland is crap!! team
wat do u guys think about my solid transfer plan for the next 3 weeks?
Gw 28= Ade n nelson > torres n bikey
Gw 29= duff n ivan > diaby/pienaar n distin/baines
Gw 30= faye n duff > j collins n milner
only prob is that shud i go for diaby or pienaar?
If you get confirmation that diaby is fit for gw29, go for him
Diaby has a medial knee ligament injury. If he is rushed back too soon, he could easily damage it once again.
if he isn’t fit i can bring in pienaar as suggested.after these transfers i will still hav around 1.5 in the bank n no transfers for gw 31. ijust hope everythin goes smoothly till then.
Like all plans, Shahriyar, it looks good on paper, but it doesn’t always end up that way in real life.
Personally, I agree with other posters on here who would tell you to hold off pressing the button on Torres until he’s played at least one full game back (80 mins worth anyway).
It looks like Ryan Nelsen will need replacing now he’s injured, but you’ve got Scott Dann you can plug into your defence this week and not miss a beat.
I’d also keep Duff. Bench him for GW 29 as he has no fixture that week, but he’s really worth holding onto for the run in.
You can play a full team this week without taking any points hits. I’m in same boat and seriously considering saving up my xfrs till GW29. By then I will know how many players I have available and if I need to make multiple changes that week it won’t cost me as many points.
Maybe you might consider the same strategy? Up to you though, bro.
appreciate it. cheers
I’m getting really suspicious of being followed by lurkers on here…well lurker. “He” watches every move I make.
fake your moves here then.
Funnily enough, I’m going to do the opposite: I’m going to empower him. That gains me further pts believe it or not.
CF The Eighth Habit – Dr Stephen Covey
Has anyone bought Jack Cork yet?
You wanna start the Corkwagon?
Think this is someone else’s baby.
What are the chances of some GW29 matches cancelled due to the FA Cup getting moved to midweek in the same GW?
Another random question- I have 65 points as of now with Rooney(c) & Evra to play. My h2h rival is on 45 with Upson, Fletcher, Valencia & Rooney(c) to go.
Does anyone see a silver lining for me? Or will Valencia & co plot my downfall?
Upson=1p , Fletcher=3, Valencia=5
Evra= 12p
What a pessimist !! Evra will take at least 3 penos with a clean sheet & provide 2 assists !!
But seriously, it hinges on Valencia, doesn’t it?
Yes Valencia could be the star of the show!
I’m anticipating a rampant United. Just hope Valencia is anonymous.
You are a massive favourite.
i have the drog, rooney and bent up front . What should i do for GW29?, i was thinking of taking bent out and either bringing in Rodallega or Saha in. What do you think?, Any suggestions
It would help if you post your team
i would but lets jst say if i post my team no one who is in direct competiton with me will copy it (WINK, WINK) and it isnt jafalad its some1 else
lol…seems like this site has become too popular for the posters’ own good. Thank God any of my (duff) mates don’t know this.
however i really want to beat this person, he is a very smug little bugger
sorry for GW28 not 29. lol
I’m sure there is guys of my league they hung around here, (I use to show my link) this website is the first hit in google but still my team is:
Hart BI 102 2 4.7 4.1 4.4 WA (H)
Sorensen SC 107 2 4.5 4 4.2 AR (H)
Ivanovic CH 84 6 6.1 6 6 MC (H)
Shawcross SC 97 5 5.3 4.6 4.9 AR (H)
Bramble WA
Dunne AV
Johnson R BI 81 1 4.9 4.5 4.7 WA (H)
Hunt HC
Bowyer BI 90 5 5.1 4.8 4.9 WA (H)
Fabregas AR 180 10 12 11.8 11.9 SC (A)
Valencia MU
Duff FU 110 8 6.2 6 6.1 SU (A)
Bent SU 131 2 7.6 7.7 7.6 FU (H)
Drogba CH 166 13 11.6 11.2 11.4 MC (H)
Rooney MU
I’m Thinking :
Valencia => Arteta
Hunt => Benaoun
Might be an idea to just type the names rather than the Christmas tree.
No point asking for advice without showing your team. I’m sure other team will be similiar to yours, look at what advice they get. I’d rather Saha than Roda atm.
Can someone give me a quick explanation of how the price changes work with regard to transfers?I have read the faq’s both her and FPL website but i don’t understand.I bought Dunne at 6.1 he is now worth 6.7,however if i transfer him out it says i still only get 6.1?
you bought Dunne at 5.6 and your getting back half of the profit.
is Skrtel a good option for a midprice defender?
no
Almunia or Reina for the rest of season? Both could be good buys with thier fixtures
reina
