Yaya Toure’s magnificent brace of goals looks to have sealed the title for the blue half of Manchester. United did their job against Swansea with a routine 2-0 win, but must now rely on relegation threatened QPR to earn a result at the Etihad.
With Monday’s Ewood clash and Chelsea’s trip to Anfield still to come, here’s our pick of the key statistis so far in the Gameweek, together with our take on where the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) bonus could be heading…
Likely transfers:
A) Cisse and Bale >> Aguero and Siggy
B) Cisse and Dempsey >> Aguero and Siggy
C) Cisse and Bale >> Aguero and Moses
D) Cisse and Dempsey >> Aguero and Moses
E) Cisse and VDV >> Aguero and Siggy
F) Cisse and Dempsey >> Aguero and Moses
What do you guys advice?
P.S. All options incur a -4 points hit...
End of last page repost:
Was planning to bench Dempsey away at Spurs, but having watched the highlights he seemed to play v. well.
Currently planning on playing: Valencia, Sigurdsson, Moses, Pienaar
Drop someone else?
Valencia might not even start. I agree, Dempsey looked good again.
Yeah as I said earlier in the day I think Valencia is the only one who has the possibility of being benched (for Nani) and coming on for a 1 pointer.
I disagree. Reckon SAF I'll field the same team as today.
I need to overhaul around 10 points next GW. Looking at the forwards, where the key battles seem to be lately:
Him:
Aguero - RVP - Jelavic
Me:
Rooney - RVP - Jelavic
Do I do Rooney > Aguero (c) and hope that the rest of my team beats his (Aguero would be my no.1 choice of captain)?
Or Rooney > Tevez (c) for a differential?
Or Jelavic / Dempsey > Aguero (or Tevez) / Moses - 4 points
Thanks
going to bring in Aguero and another Man C this week...will have about 15 point ML lead to make up....who else to bring in from Man C that should get good points against QPR
So with the season about to finish what is the consensus?
1 Can't live without it, would play 52 weeks a year if i could
2 Love the game but looking forward to the break because the week in week out is starting to hurt my skull and im slighly concerned about divorce
3 Fed up, not playing next year.
Im a 2
Anyone else?
4. Euro 2012 fantasy football fills the void.
Like a sort of fantasy methadone to the fpl's fantasy heroin 🙂
5. Looking forward to the break, only wish it were for a month though.
2, but Euro Fantasy to fill the void. Besides, half the fun is the initial RMT frenzy preseason...
2. Just had a kid and can't concentrate on both enough. (Hence my inability to get the right sub order and lose my Lescott points this week.)
I'm definitely 3. Next season no fantasy for me.
An enrique clean sheet and Moses brace would be nice, in their respective matches.
But unfortunately I think a Liverpool clean sheet is pie in the sky stuff.
I am starving.
Could happily take a hit for a mixed kebab. 🙁
Thats an 8 point hit. I would only take a 4 point hit for a doner
Only if the salad is holding in midfield.
Just had a tomato soup dinner -.-
Anyone know if MoTD is still repeated on Sunday early morning..? Glancing at the fixtures can't seem to see it.
what the general consensus - Cisse or Jelly out for Aguero?
Don't think you'll find one, that's a pretty tough call.
I expect an open game, Newcastle with everything to do, Everton at home won't just let them walk all over them. Both will probably score, but Jelavic with the home advantage edges it for me.
to keep you mean?
Am having a hard time deciding, and a hard time trying to squeeze Clint into my line-up.
Jelavic to keep.
Had a glance at your team, I can see your selection dilemma. I can't really recommend an optimal starting 4, its very debatable. But I would suggest you keep 3 up front if you're bringing in Aguero.
ok wll, I will keep to the plan and sell Cisse and bench Clint. Way I see it, if Nani plays he is likely to do well, if he doesn't, I get Clint. But last time I benched him he got 16 points
I think that sounds logical. Man Utd still have something to play for, Dempsey away at a team with something to play for.
seems to move to make this week if you can afford it.
can afford to move on either, it's just which one
What sort of team will Chelsea play??
Any idea on who to bring in for next week? This is my current team
Friedel, Mignolet
Evans, Caulker, Turner, Vermaelen, Jagielka
Valencia, Moses, Siggy, VDV, Dempsey
RVP, Rooney, Jelavic
1 FT, 0.1 in the bank
I'm thinking Rooney -> Aguero and captaining him
Our team is very similar.. !
I've already done this so yes, obviously an amazingly canny move 😉
So after the Fa Cup final had finished, Torres went into the Liverpool changing room to meet the players and to swap shirts with Reina. Reina later on revealed in a interview that he asked Torres whether he will come back, but Torres remained silent. He then asked Torres again, when Torres replied that he misses Liverpool.
Oh Nando, Nando, Nando. 🙁
Whaaat? Just noticed I'm in a semi final in my public H2H. Caldwell CS gives me the win. I had No idea about this. New for this season?
Is this is just for the public H2H leagues? my private H2H leagues seem to be running the same
One assumes you're winning just about all of them!
Yes, noticed it myself earlier... Generally allows the few remaining live teams to play off. Slightly pissed as thought had the league locked up...
need a captain differential this week. guarantee the guy in front of me will captain aguero. anyone thinking jelavic?
I am sooooo hungary....
Right, sleep time them. All the best gentlemen, speak in the daylight.
Over n out.
A squify Evs 🙂
Might as well just go to sleep seeing as I'm tired, annoyed and quite frankly very hungry.
Bank holiday ftw! Night lads. 🙂
Bloody hell! Just looked at Phaze 1's impressive ranking and then his lowly and totally useless, wanting to commit suicide, position in the FFS league.
I need to up my game 😉
On that happy note - me too!!!
Good luck with the baps tomorrow. Night all! 😀
Anyone know if or when the price of Kompany or Yaya will go up?
not anytime soon
Not soon.
Take a look at http://www.fiso.co.uk/crackthecode.php
Cheers..
Did anybody watch Drogba on the Graham Norton show, just wondering is it worth a look!
Missed all the footie today. Looks like it was an exciting day. And Metrov saved my week again. 17, 7, 10(+baps). Best transfer of the season!
And the best news of the day: Spartak Moscow has beaten Zenith in Saint-Petersburg even despite all the efforts of corrupted referees and corrupted idiots in the football league administration, yeah baby!
PS if you play against Zenith and you are black, you get sent off even for celebrating goals:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-J061qql9Og
But even that doesn't help! 3rd goal in the 90th minute playing 10 against 11 and that's 3:2! Yeah baby once again!
that video is a joke right?...
if it is not then... wow
To be completely honest, the whole Russian football is a joke... 😉
Where on Earth would you see anything like that? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cphFU1Mk5nQ :))
That was the same striker werent it, with the middle finger?
I suppose it is inevitable some idiots are going to blight the 2018 WC with this sort of thing.
Yeah, that's Emenike. There was a big scandal regarding that his gesture.
Nah, I think the World Cup will be fine. It's just another level. Don't remember any problems during any international games in Russia.
ศนนาห สราำ ้ำงห หำืะ ้รท นดด ดนพ หสฟยยรืเ ้รห ดนพำฟพท กีพรืเ ะ้ำ แำสำิพฟะรนื
exactly!
Ha! Don't do Russian, wife changed the language setting, little scamp!
Actually, pasting the comments to the vid into Google Translate comes up with some gems and I think you might be right:
"But what about Eto'o who showed the same gesture in the Champions League final .... And no one told him that this gesture of the whole world knows ... Poultry castrated eagles in his senility."
🙂
lol i actually did that.
'Orlov' comes up a lot
like this one...
And all with one voice Petrograders-it's all right that was removed, it is also forbidden gesture! You stupid flock of sheep, open your eyes! Orlov, just do not listen - feathered schmuck!
Just to clarify all the 'eagles' and 'feathered' comparisons, the commentator's surname 'Orlov' is analogous to 'Eagles' in England
It would be even more fun if you could understand what the commentator is saying. He is a famous Zenith fan, he's commenting all their matches and is infamous for talking some unbelievable nonsense.
In this video, he said that this was a right decision by the referee, because the whole world knows this gesture and how incredibly offensive it is!
I think the keeper called "No LAshers" before thay started, he clearly lashed it into the net..
....bad form !
slapping your arm means "Putin's surely on drugs" or something?
I'm on 49 so far, with Moses and baps to come, average/below average?
Does anybody know what games Sky are showing next weekend? City and United matches presumably, maybe Stoke v Bolton? I'd like to watch that one
It has not been confirmed on their site yet. City vs QPR and one relegation fight, depending the game later I guess
Thanks, I might just watch Jeff and the lads on Sky Sports News. Great excitement on that last season when the relegation battle went right to the wire
I might try and do the MotD challenge. The last programme of the season is always great, seeing as they flick between the games
Do you mean avoid all the matches during the day and watch Match of the Day that night? I'd never be able do that
Talking of Jeff Stelling, you will approve of this one, Henry:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2waDz1DCWw&feature=youtu.be
Ya posted that earlier myself nomar, great stuff! I happened to be checking Sky Sports at that moment to check Bolton score when that happened
Ah, sorry man. Been offline all day as had to go out this afternoon so I did MOTD challenge.
Made it extra special seeing Bolton pegged back at around the same time we scored!
4 point turnaround in the space of one minute, incredible! Bit worried when I remembered Stoke lost at home to Wigan last day of the season last year to keep them up so we need Crouch to do us a big favour next week!
I've felt all week that if we beat Stoke and Bolton failed to win against WBA that would send Bolton down.
They have a tough last day too against Stoke, who are pretty hard to beat at home.
I think we'll park the bus against City and hope to frustrate them as long as possible. Bolton have to win now so they have to go for broke. Think that could leave plenty of gaps for Stoke to exploit.
Can't wait, it will be great to see us and City players/ fans celebrate together. That would be great.
I also thought you were online earlier but it was some United fan who has the QPR crest as his avatar 😆
Goal of the month according to Shearer... HBA, Newcastle bias!!
Was the 4th or 5th best imo
Which two to play next wee out of Valencia, Siggy and Demps
Or bring someone in for a -4? Other mids are Bale and Moses
Most wasteful player of the season?
Suarez? Taarabt?
unlucky? 😕
11 years, 11 months agoThat Jelavic goal didnt look offside
