Captain Sensible – Gameweek 17

Lukaku isn't that small

My gut feel is.... He'll play.

PS -I also did the early trade 🙄

To be honest, I don't even think he's injured. I think Moyes was just covering himself in case they didn't get a result without him. I expect him to play at the weekend. I could be wrong of course, just my take on it.

I think he will play and i am happy that his flag will prevent further transfers in. People are removing him already which is good 😉

You're not realistically going to captain him this week anyway so that's not worry and there's a good chance there's nothing to this injury.

I wouldn't worry.

I do feel a lot better about not having him now though!

Used the early transfer too but I think he'll play. If Moyes had said he was resting him and then we'd got beaten all hell would have broken loose. Maybe it's just wishful thinking but it still feels ok to me although I would be happier if Clyne was fit as that would make my bench a little stronger.

I don't think anyone would have held back considering the 0.5m swing with Aguero dropping and Rooney rising. Will just have to see what happens, Aguero > Negredo owners the only one who can be positive really. I personally think Rooney will play anyway.

Count yourself lucky, I brought Rooney and Zab in early this week 😥

Lukaku.

Rooney

Do you want Rooney?

I brought in Negredo

Evans perhaps a little more nailed-on than Raphael?

Distin over Jags IMO

Whoever doesn't is one ballsy individual, that's for sure! 😀

Which maverick would you go for (if any)?

i was seriously considering Rooney as captain, will stick with Suarez now.

No

I do like a punt but wow £450 is outa my league. Too right I would have covered that bet, it would be crazy not too, in fact I always look at fix to work out my bets and on the Sunday 4PM game cover if my acca is winning.

First one sounds good to me

Didn't Evans have an injury scare last night?

Keep Shaw first sub maybe?

Baines def back for game after?

Consider Redmond to Mirallas if youre concerned about Rooney as an alternative for next weeks transfer. I think he'll outscore berba thisvweek too but probably not worth the hit.

Berba (where's the slaps forehead emoticon?) 🙂

Aguero's price is dropping like a stone, though. What about a punt on Hooper and free up loads of funds so to bolster your midfield ?

I don't see the attraction of doing nothing personally, I like the idea of Hooper and playing five good midfielders but took the easy way out and went for Rooney earlier in the week and now am hoping there's nothing wrong with him.

Suarez has 0% chance of being rested

He will bite Brandon if he gets rested.

Hope he pulls through, even though I ain't a fan !! 😆

Who is that tasty chick in your profile pic, dude? 🙂

Very good team. I would possibly change Terry (very few Chelsea CS recently) and Luna (woeful in last game, Villa concede without Vlaar)

Holding

Not even thinking about trading him - or not starting him.

That is the sort of comment makes me just want to take hit after hit and pick players based on who has the nicest hair.

I saw this, it looks excellent. I haven't had time to sit down and really check it out or explore the possibilities though. I've always wanted to do this type of thing using things like big chances and shots in the box but never got round to it.

I have it bookmarked for a rainy/snowy day 😉

I said that for about 7 weeks in a row. What a complete clusterf**k getting him in was. 😡

I agree that this May be the week, now the contract discussions have been resolved, but it would be a hell of a punt given his shocking form since return from injury.

Having been burnt before I'm looking for form first before even considering

Is that even possible in budget Rohan?

i have that front 7......also doubled up on eve def

possible. after this week's transfers i'd have

Howard
Coleman Kosc
Hazard Silva Ramsey Walcott
Suarez Rooney Lukaku

as the spine of my team. I'm quite happy with that, with the odd cleansheets from Burner Ward Chester.

I can. ya uber three defenders plus baines and Jags.

i think he'll get the most points. screw other people

That's not the reason. What anyone else does with their team, does not affect your personal points total.
Pick him because you think he will score the most points.

If you think a lower owned player will score more then great, expect to jump the ranks. Suarez is a no brainer this week though.

Already have:

Coleman - Vlaar - Gabbidon - Burner

Anyone got any good ideas?

Olsson

I think he will start too, but if you haven't made the transfer, Negredo might be the better call. Expect them to score quite similarly.

It's a combination of Clyne/Fonte/Boruc/Schneiderlin/Wanyama being out that's turned it to shit recently.

Was thinking of going back to Sot def (Shaw) now there fixtures start to improve....

Over-simplification. They started getting some clean sheets when Pocchetino took over and their defence looked better and better as they got used to his system. Cork and Schneiderlin in particular formed an excellent centre midfield partnership at the end of last season. Making it rather confusing that they chose to spend so much money on Wanyama instead of elsewhere.

Some time in mid January is the last thing I saw about him

Nah, you'll get two okay options from that list.

-8pts is a mid goal & assist

-8 would be a step too far. For a -4 I'd say definitely yes.

ya reckon? 😛

At 13.7 he'd still be too expensive for most. Those on the Aguero bandwagon would have to find £2m or so just to get a chance to kick his tyres

He'd be in my team 100%

I like it cause you can choose a different set of players every week, Also choose players you don't have in your FPL team, so less of a blow when they score/CS/assist etc.

Also Julian Dicks is rubbish, easy money.

Pricing takes a bit of getting use to, otherwise it's good fun.

Yeah looks good.

Looks good and 4pt hit is not the end of the world! I know quite a few taking 8 - 12..desperate times.

😆

Redmond
