Thought he was fainting
Yeah. I commented on it shortly upon viewing. http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/04/18/the-dugout-discussion-saturday-53/?hc_page=40#hc_comment_10117279
Anyone got a link?
He must think hes so clever, actually comes across as a total xxxx
http://www.bbc.com/sport/0/football/32369922Haha cheers SAB. That is such a funny/awkward video
was brilliant 😆
Team A or Team B for the double? Taken the plunge and dropped Kane, probably for the season now. Sink or swim. Both team have 9 doublers plus Silva and Aguero. Almost boils down to whether you want Fabregas in there or double Chelsea defence. I feel as though Mourinho is now shutting up shop as he usually does at the business end, so I can see a clean sheet run and therefore B appeals more.
Team A (3-4-3)
Schmeichel
Terry, Skrtel, Schlupp
Hazard(c), Fabregas, Silva, Henderson
Aguero, Sturridge, Vardy
Fabregas and Sturridge become Sanchez and Giroud in GW36.
Team B (3-5-2)
Schmeichel
Ivanovic, Terry, Skrtel
Hazard(c), Silva, Sterling, Henderson, Cambiasso
Aguero, Vardy (Giroud)
Giroud on bench saves a transfer, and I'll downgrade Ivanovic in GW36 to fund Sterling to Sanchez.
Thoughts?B
I wouldn't bench Gru
So... Hendo or Sterling?
Depends on Sturridge's fitness. If he's out Sterling plays up top and obviously you choose him. Otherwise Henderson (who my wife used to teach incidentally, taught him all he knows).
Coutinho played the false 9 role last game I thought?
he did. and very well I might add
Yo Champ
Interested to hear your thoughts on Sterling vs Cout vs Hendo for fplwell I still think there is feck all between them.
hendo is cheap as chips, a lot of set pieces and a much improved playmaker these days. his price makes him a keeper I reckon.
sterling is back in good form, giving defenders nightmares again. still lacks final product but constantly making chances for himself and others.
coutinho, he can have my babies. love him. have him just behind sterling because of sterlo's more explosive potential and high ownership.
its a lottery which will do better on any given gameweek. I'll go hendo and sterling for 34 then probably lose sterlo after 35 as I want two arsey midsWow, love your work mate, cheers for the thoughts! It looks like a lot of luck may come into play into with picking the right livp mids for this dgw
Strling, imo
Hendo. On pens,set peices with good form. Would be better to have one of sterling/cout alongside him in dgw
Thanks. Whoever I get will be joining Coutinho in my midfield.
I think Cout is the best option tbh, can't believe so few are getting him
Monitor Sturridge. If he's out for a while, Sterling. If not, Hendo. Hendo is on pens, set pieces, picks up BAPS frequently and is cheaper.
Sterling for me, gaffer.
Has David De Gea finished celebrating yet?
What made it worse was the turnaround. The walk-off, if you will.
😆
😀
Thought it was a goal too.Was surprised why rooney didnt celebrate 🙂
It was an odd moment. I think what heaped some extra belief that he had scored into the mind was the overall chance. Great ball out to him on a silver platter, not a lot of defense closing him down. It was like I thought he scored before he even shot it.
Yeah, same. Had United scored first, we'd have lost methinks.

So, for next week:
Myhil
Clyne Wolly JT*
Hazard* Cesc* Silva Eriksen
Kane Kun Giroud
Jakupovic Ameobi Cawson Naughton
2 FT's & 3.5 ITB
A) Jakupovic Naughton Eriksen ➡ Mig Skrtel Sterling
B) Naughton Eriksen Kane ➡ Skrtel Hendo Sturridge
C) otherA
A
A
A
Any suggestions on what to do with the Myhill / Pants combo?
It is looking rather horrid with their fixtures coming up:
WBA: LIV mun new CHE ars
SUN: sto SOT eve (LEI ars) che
WHM, NEW, LEI have the best run in, in terms of favorable fixtures, worth a look?moving from Pants Myhill to Davis Schmikes I think.
Adrian is a little too pricey for me. Can't really trust Newcastle - they're kak defensively.I'll have a look at this, would a -4 hit to bring in Schmikes for Pants worth it for the double?
depends on what the other transfers are I guess? In isolation - nope.
Morning DZ
If you had to make up some cash in your WC team, would you rather Ivan > Terry or Skrtel > Moreno?
Seems like the shackles have been put on Ivan recently...but we all know he loves a DGW.SKrtel to Moreno
Skrtel is the best liverpool defender to go with. Only player guaranteed a start both games and he has goal threat.
not really answering the question though.
True. Go Maverick and do Skrtel > Lovren
what a useless team i got. can't wait for WC!
Mignolet
Duff JT Clyne
Mata Silva Mane Hazard
Aguero Kane Remy
Pantili Mane Dawson Huttonhope this isn't your WC team.
obviously not. deadwood Mane and Remy.
Just watched Real vs Malaga highlights.
Hernandez literally changed the game after coming on, what a player!
That loan replacement with Falcao was looking so good on the paper ehi think he was brought in for marketing reasons. like balotelli. neither of the managers wanted them 🙄
Well that certainly has backfired, I feel Manu could've done better with Hernandez.
He'd have struggled in LvG's "philoshofee" as well.
Welbz would have done great actually. Was shocked to see him go.yep both are useless to van gaal. the opposite of what he wants. can only assume the board wanted the name falcao part of the utd brand.
Signing big players to leave them on bench hahahas. Though their form warrant it. But again poor buys
Pick one to replace Eirksen
A Henderson
B Coutinho
C SterlingHenderson
I'm going with C
terry hazard + fab or ivan?
Any combination with Hazard
This
Seriously...
My main rival brought in Morgan and Schmeichel.
Only difference today is I have Aguero and he has Silva. Both are our captains. Help.How much is the point difference so far for the GW ?
He's +10 making his overall lead 13.
Well u certainly need a hatty from Aguero. U have silva at least?
No. But he doesn't have Aguero.
How can we help u?
It was a rhetorical plea.
😀
I have Schlupp, Vardy, Coutinho, Terry and Hazard at the moment.
Thinking Baines > Skrtel and Eriksen to Sterling?
Thoughts?Remy 🙄
Sorry. Just had to get that out. Feel better now.
Ha.
I can see where you get your name
RMWCT
Ospina Schmeichel
Terry Skrtel Jenkinson Vlaar Wollschield
Haz Fab Sterling Coutinho Young
Aguero Giroud Vardy
1.7 ITB - Enough to upgrade one of my MIDs too a good Arsenal mid.Can I ask, why Vlaar?
I looked at fixture rotator on fff and he had good fixtures and rotated well
Looks good. I would go cheaper than young in 5th mid.
This
He's 4.9..... Insane value
pick 3-5-2 or 3-4-3 and go with out. don't half arse it in between, never ends well
go with it*
interested to know what you base this on. I'm assuming you're haunted by memories of bench points, but surely having a choice of 2 is better than 1, in the long run.
My thinking
Yeah I think young is a great option. It's a nice wildcard team. I would actually consider having Silva in there. With their fixtures, and his superiority over someone like coutinho, you'd wonder if the extra fixture makes up for it.
That's a good use for a FT
not memories of benched points - i'd just prefer one stronger pick + a playing cheap mid (if 3-4-3) or cheap fwd (3-5-2).
Going cheaper on Young and say Jenkinson, would allow Benteke instead of Vardy which you can play week in week out for the run in. Rather than rotating 2 budget players in the off chance you pick the right one.I like to rotate in attack and have had plenty of success with it
Fair play if it's worked for you. My opinion is that building a team for a specific formation is better than one that is too fluid.
Curious, what attackers have you rotated throughout the season and any specific gw success stories?have been using a flexible front 8 since jan wc this season. feel free to look through history. you are asking way too much of my memory 😉
done it plenty over the years. especially once value is built and bargains established. I like the flexibility. can give you different in form with good fixture diffs every weekNice rank. I'll have a look. Good point about shifting to flexible formation on jan WC. Tried it over December period to limited success
Young is 4.9
Go ahead then 🙂
If agree if young was 5.5 or something. 4.9 though, pretty fine margins there. I generally try to have a mid less than 5, but have broken that rule in the past when I felt it was sensible and two players around 5-6 rotated well.
I honestly think it's overkill. Could be detrimental to the last few games of the season.
What's overkill?
I might just keep remy this week and sell next week for giroud. Doesn't seem worth a major reshuffle to get him out especially when the best dgw option I can think of is bloody vardy
Anyone else thinking the same?Why not. Foregoing all DGW forwards on my WC personally
Yep, no point using 2 FT's in 2 weeks on bringing in two strikers. If he doesn't play at all I have Boyd (LEI) off the bench
Morning all,
With Alderweireld injury, and Soton having 3 away games in next 5, I don't see the value in holding bertrand on WC..
Barring Chelsea,Arsenal and Liverpool, which defenses are worth considering for the run in?Tough q. The teams with the best fix are pretty rubbish. The likes of Newcastle, west ham, Leicester.... Yuck
yep, im struggling to find a 3rd defender. Got Ospina Terry Skrtel in there... would consider ivanovic normally but im not sure if ill still want him after chelsea wrap up the title, also easier to do fabs->ozil
Who do you think can win this week in head to head:
Kun(c), Kane, Silva
or
Kane(c), Eriksen, Silva, Rose +4I'm going A cause I think Kun (c) will be a successful call
I'm 2 points ahead, we both have Kun(c) Silva and Kane, but he has Eriksen as well. So an Eriksen blank would make us even.I hope so, I jinxed Vardy unfortunately for me 🙁
How does this WC baby look?
Mignolet
Terry Azpi Skrtel
Hazard Silva Sanchez Henderson
Agüero Giroud Vardy
Myhill PvA McShane CorkI'm not sure on Azpi. Maybe Ivanovic instead of Azpi and Bertrand instead of Skrtel if you can afford. If not Moreno
Can't afford either. But lately Azpi has been playing well, getting bonus and seemingly nailed on too. What's not to like?
What's not to like is the fact you had to put the word 'seemingly' infront of 'nailed-on'. He could easily be rotated with Luis,I doubt he will start both DGW games and since Chelsea have basically won the title now Luis could get a decent run out
Fair enough. But that also applies to other Chelsea players.
I could go Schmeichel/Moreno/Ivanovic instead of Mignolet/Skrtel/Azpi.More so Azpi though. But yes you're right.
I think I prefer that, yes.
😯 how is that affordable?
Vardy plus cheap bench.
Would be very happy with that team in gw34 but azpi would be a worry thereafter. Abit heavy in mid for my liking but great explosive potential. Plus great captain options week in week out.
Thanks.
Wow. This wildcard is harder than I thought.
3 Leicester, 3 Chelsea, 3 Liverpool + 2 City starting next week- Overkill?
Schmeichel (Ospina)
Ivan, Terry, Moreno ( Clyne, Jenkinson)
Cambiasso, Hendo, Sterling (c), Hazard, Silva
Kramaric, Aguero ( Kane)
0.8m, WC Active.
Any suggested changes..Tell us the strategy for the following weeks.
Good thing is that GW35 Chelsea have CPL, Liverpool have QPR and Leicester have NEW.
That gives us breathing space.Kramaric is a waste of space. Get Vardy or a proper striker.
Up to top 10 in MLS-F now.
Shame I'm not eligible for any of the prizes.Waste of time.
I came top 15 and even though I qualified it's pure bullocks.
They want an affindavit signed by a lawyer and some other BS.affidavit*
Wow. Didn't know that.
Did you get it eventually anyway?Nope. Like I said, it was a huge waste of my time.
Never again
After a quick 5am scan on Fiso, can't see the likes of Skrtel, Hendo, Sturridge hitting price rise as yet...
Most likely doing Eriksen & Alderweireld to Skrtel and Hendo. But hoping to see how Alderweireld and Remy's injuries are first tbh.
Any Pool on the rise??Fiso 😯
What you using these days TM??
Are these moves obvious?
Mané > Hendo
Alexis > Sterling
(-4)
Is Remy > Vardy worth another hit? Or hold and pray for a miracle recovery?I'd keep Alexis, but Mane to Hendo makes sense.
I will get back Alexis, just feel like Sterling will be worth it over the DGW.
Chelsea will shut up shop again vs Arsenal... like the annoying team they are.
assuming you have a cheap bench fodder mid then yes I think those moves are obvious.
I'm asking the same q v remy to vardy. I'm considering holding him and just switching to giroud next weekYep have Boyd as my bench fodder.
Yeah pretty much same then. Hold then swap to Giroud, or take the hit on Vardy, and perhaps wait an extra week on Giroud if Vardy does well.
first two sound good. keep remy then swap to tekkers in 35
Cheerios. Was quite sad I had to sell him.. hopefully Kun repays the faith.
Interesting that Chelsea's dgw is so massive for them. They can win the league by winning those two.
Unfortunately for us we all know what that means with mourinho. Boring boring Chelsea.Do we think it's defensive from here on in, they grind it out...? They'll be parking the bus at Arsenal?
V arsenal, almost definitely. I can't imagine anything else. The second game he might go for a big win.
Obviously things change if arsenal score early. Last night an early manu game would've brought a completely different game.Manu goal*
100%
anyone looking at mark albrighton? Played 90 in the last two games. Nearly scored last night.
Also, who is keeping Murray and/or Bolaise on WC?Lol. His new nickname?
"Nearly" Marc Albrighton.provides crosses, gets in the box...has a good strike. Stranger things have happened
Anyone expecting a strong showing from Newcastle today? I wouldn't be surprised if they give them a rn for their money, especially with captain Colo returning
Newcastle are so unpredictable but at home they can pull out performances every now and again - so no, wouldn't be surprised at all
True. Krul is my only remaining differential so I'm hoping for some form of points 😆
Going for this WC team barring any news/injuries
Ospina / Schmeichel
Terry Skrtel Schlupp PVA Duff
Sterling Hendo Fabs Hazard Silva
Giroud Aguero Vardy
Giroud bench Gw34, hendo bench gw 36.
got 0.5 itb to upgradeThat team looks Great!! Not liking pva nor duff though understand the team has to suffer somewhere.
Would you consider Silva & Giroud to Sanchez & Kane?
WC draft:
Schemeichel
Ivan, *Alderweirald*, Skrtel
Hazard, Fabregas, Silva, Sterling/Coutinho, Henderson
Aguero, Vardy
Ospina, Kane, Duff, PvA
Reckon I should settle for this?Take out Alderweireld, left on a stretcher with a potential dislocated shoulder..
I would go Bertrand/Moreno over Skrtel/ Aldy
and get Morgan over Duff.
When Skrtel is back he will get all the BPS. Double Leicester defence is not something that I would ever think of going with. From what I have been hearing the injury doesn't seem to serious, and if he is out for some time Yoshida could slot in.
Looks pretty good, honestly. Get Schlupp/Morgan ahead of Alderweireld if he is out for some time?
Or a SOTON defender since I see Schmeichel in your team already.
If he is out for some time surely I should pick up Yoshida? Cannot afford any other SOT defender unless I pick Coutinho.
Keeping Kane?
Looks good though, although, I wouldn't keep Kane.
No better option at that price. Will look to ship for Giroud later on.
Do we think Sturridge could be an option for the DGW?
Glass options are likely to shatter.
Not unless he makes a sub appearance at the cup game tomorrow.
And unfortunately, I have him.That's ano then, cheers

He was rattled and almost in tears 😆
