Get in for Bony now or wait until after friendly? Does he have a friendly?
Sorry, I am not sure.

Cool thanks 🙂
No friendly for Lukaku.The game got postponed..
Any sore Irish heads this morning?
Yuuuup.
Congrats!

COYBIG!
Congrats IM (and other irish people)!
Probably quite a few calling in sick at my place this morning!
Had a few watching game, enjoyed all round-Delighted to be involved in France next year, 4pts should do us 😉
Actually looking forward to euro fantasy as well, always a Crackin game so no summer off!
We'll beat the 3rd place team, draw with the second place team, and get absolutely battered out the gate by anyone in pot 1
(except for England, we'd give them some game 😉 )Haha great to see so many of the 'home nations' in there, pity Scotland couldn't join the party, yea that strategy just about sums us up IM!
That would probably see you qualify to the knock outs
Exactaly 😎
We're going all the way mate 😉
Congratulations all!

Mourinho wants to bluff you, don't trust him.
I'm getting a bit worried about Bellerin. Still no update on his 'little' injury which he was supposedly certain to recover from by this week.
How often do we hear about an Arsenal player with a 'small' problem that ends up going on for months?Yep, said this before he missed the NLD. Handy for non-owners!
Football app says Belgium v Spain is cancelled and wont be played? Anyone know information about this?
All over the news pages, can't post a link off my phone though

CheersA
Depends on your funds, probably Lukaku
On wildcard so have the freedom
Kane 100%. Spurs are sh1thot with Eriksen pulling the strings in midfield
Agree, A.

Messy team. Perhaps Payet to Deulofeu this week then Pelle to Aguero the next
Great Spain game cancelled. Payet dropped . What a waste
Lyk dis if u cry evry time. 😉
In a way I hope Sánchez is injured now
I could get on board with that 🙂
I'm strangly hoping someone unexpected is dropped / rested this week, my bench is my biggest differential..
I traded Payet after seeing motd Horse, it looked serious to me.
rises/drops being the main reason for the early transfer-you should try it, it ain't that bad-if Sanchez is out we just have to deal with that too, I call it 'managing'Yeah it's doesn't change the transfers I can do. Is just annoying
Early transfers are a risk but I find more often than not you get away with them.
Chances of playing this gw?
a. bellerin
b. vvd
c. vardy
d. bony75
75
100
0*Obviously just guesses, we wait for the pressers later this week..
this.
I'd maybe give Bony 10.
Where did you come up with that.
Especially the Bellerin oneIm pretty worried about bellerin though, it seems to be a bit more than just a knock
Just guesses, as said above
Add Sanchez too, 75 pc.
I do HOPE that Belle, VvD, Vardy do play. I can see it happening easily. No idea about Bony.
Posted yesterday but no response
Good to go chaps?
1FT 2m in bank
Butland
Kolarov Janmaat Williams
Sanchez Barkley Mahrez Mane
Costa Lukaku Perez
Myhill Coutinho Cresswell Targett
Inclined to stick this week, especially with a good bench and then do Costa for Kun and downgrade Ross the week after for free.
Thoughts? Thanks in advance.
And yes, my differentials really aren't working out...Sounds good.
Any temptation to play Coutinho?
good to me. Save Ft if you've burnt your WC
Gtg.
cheers lads!
Have 1 FT left... not sure whether to do:
A) Cedric --> berty (if Cedric starts I feel this is wasted)
B) Bellerin --> Kosc (short term gain only)
C) Pelle --> Kane
Already done Payet --> Ozil!
Cheers.Chill and save till pressers.
think I might just bank it anyway. Have WC ITB anyway. still unsure about how to play it.
C imo
Surely you'd give Pelle(Stoke) this week IM, he's a potential (c) at The Dell?
Well I sold Pelle for a hit for Lukaku,
and Kane is probably the player I'm most scared of this week not owning him.
Expecting Spurs to beat West Ham by 2 or 3.. and Kane has averaged at least a goal a game in London derbies.But I'd argue Pelle could score too this week and allows to save, heck Kane could get injured this weekend!
I suppose it's the safe option alright, and my route would introduce a lot more risks, but he does have the safety net of a WC.
I suppose it is a bit harsh taking Pelle out this week, saving is probably the best option, might delay needing to pull the WC button by another week or so.Now your just being too bloody sensible 😉
If anything C but wait for pressers.
C
Cheers lads!
Wow, only seeing Mario Gaspar's goal for Spain now, some skill that!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UKHtTFTXF5kThats outstanding! some finish
Better than Walters 2nd?
Maradona's wasn't even close to Walters' 2nd 😉
That ball from Brady was sublime, it was begging to be finished, and so the son of an emigrant born in Moreton, Merseyside duly conveyed it!
🙂Brady is fast becoming my favourite player in that Irish team.
Another fantastic solid performance from Randolph too, he's really impressing me so far.Agree on both counts, I think Keogh deserves a mention over the play offs, an unsung hero if I ever saw one, such grit, such a determination, his will is immense I really like him.
Walters too over the campaign has been a giant as have so many, they seem to be a fantastic well oiled well drilled unit in general and deserve this so much, you could see what it meant to these players, to the country.Fully agree, Keogh looks like much more than a Championship level CB, I'm really happy with our defence. I think Brady has to play LM, but Ward is our weakest defensive link...
Walters is exactly what we need at the moment, a battering ram to give the rest of the team a dig out, but also well able to finish and hold the ball up for others (unlike Daryl Murphy)
Madness to bring in Benteke for Bony?
Rolling with Vardy and Lukaku alongside.Kane
Benteke could be a good shout, especially with Klopp saying that he won't be playing Sturridge until he's completed 10 days training.
Origi is a minor issue though, Klopp seems to like him, and they have a pretty rotten fixture this week (followed by great fixtures)
Ive managed to fit them all in 😀
Hennessey Elliot
Bertrand Toby Moreno Souare Simpson
Sanchez Hazard Mahrez Ritchie 4.3
Aguero Kane Lukaku
Really liking this WC team only issue surrounds the GKsWell Haxard out would solve a lot of problems Kol!
As would Sanchez out but I dont want to go without either on WC
No Mata?
Dont trust his game time 🙁
Being honest however, that's a nice team KoL.
I'm not mad on the gks, an extra 0.5m spent back there could mean a huge difference in points and Elliot doesn't really rotate that well with Hennessey.
Defence looks great, any reason why you're going with Alder over Rose / Dier? Assurance of starts?
Not mad on Ritchie when Bournemouth have Josh King up front, Ritchie won't be assisting much with nobody to convert, would prefer Bolasie / Deulofeu over him.
Sanchez - Hazard - Mahrez has great potential but I'm an avid Ozil supporter.
Forward line obviously top notch.aye the GKs are poor.
Alder will play every game over christmas not sure the others will.
Ritchie is more for the goals rather than the assist he loves a long shot.
In a bit of a dilema when it comes to my teamTough week to be WCing, lots of questions up in the air.
I think I agree re Alder.
Best of luck with whatever you end up with 🙂
I think Ighalo instead of one of those forwards (Kun?) could make a big difference, I know you want to punt on Hazard so why not use Hazard/Sanchez as a placeholding Aguero fund?
I'd rework the mids honestly, a lot of money wasted there
I can see a Hazard in there ... 😉
Ritchie is not good enough for a fourth mid, imho.Hazard stays 🙂
Aye that was my worry too. Will rework
I'd rather have Ozil than Hazard and spread the cash to Ritchie, a better GK than Elliott and an Arsenal defender.
^^^
Im thinking of doing that with Kane instead of Hazard
I wouldn't touch hazard until he shows signs of improvement
After watching him come on in the CL and him play against stoke I see that as signs of improvement
KDB vs Coutinho is quite conclusive
Different players and different price ranges.
10.5m Consistent vs 8.5m Explosive.8.5m explosive -> 8m consistent and explosive > 10.5 consistent
Kevin all day
So coutinho?
City hasn't been at its best without Silva and Aguero , with them back. I do see KDB having a much better FPL
yeah, will have to wait and see before I sell KDB.
Russian intelligence just confirmed that the plane crash was indeed an act of terrorists. Bomb was planted in the plane like everyone was thinking. Beirut a day before two suicide bombers and 40+ killed and 240+ injured, yet no one talks about those as much as the Paris one. Not sure i should be saying this, but the policy far from sight far from mind is absolutely unacceptable in European countries. We should be mourning all like we do the victims in France. May this never ever happen again.
completely agree with the 2nd last sentence
+1
Unfortunately, proximity is one of the biggest factors in dictating 'news', and consequently our engagement with the events. It shouldn't be the case, but these things always shock us most when they're on our doorsteps. They're the most comparable to our own lives and personal experiences.
I really think thats not the way it should be. When 9/11 happened the whole world was reporting about it, i just think its about the "big and the strong countries" if that makes any sense. I do hope we somehow change in the near future in this regard.
You're absolutely right, it shouldn't be. It's slowly changing. Social Media is helping people find news from other parts of the world, and the mainstream news outlets are devoting more time as a result.
Think of Africa. Boko Haram and have been running amok recently and that went fairly under the radar. It's a continent full of tragedy and genocide but it's so far removed from how we live that it gets almost no exposure.I absolutely have to agree with you, social media is a powerful outlet to bring this to attention to masses who otherwise wouldnt know/hear about it. I do hope we are moving in the right direction and that we overcome these tragedies and this very turbulent period in regards to terrorist attacks and acts of violence.
News in general are very selective on what they publish due to the ratings. its just what sells the most, and genocides and Boko Haram arent high on that list. Unfortunatelly what sells at the moment is fake tits and fake models in reality shows. I do understand that it might interest some people, but dont over flood the news / papers with it.
I'm Nigerian, so unfortunate that 100's die weekly on a consistent basis in Northern Nigeria but it's not reported like the Paris attack.
I'm off, laters all.
Hello, goodbye. 🙂
Adios agus sláinte mo chara!
Me too, night all.
So - Payet dropped last night.
Looks long term that
Good news all round 😉
Fortunately, getting him at his original price meant I was immune to that drop. Should just about get me through to press conferences before making the decision.
This has probably been posted before, but good noises coming from Virgil.
"It's fine," said Van Dijk. "I didn't want to force it in the second half because it's a friendly. I am very confident I will be OK. It's a niggle on the side of my knee. It's not something really bad," he added.Kinda wanted him to be out, would have made my life easier.
Well please accept my apologies 🙂
Apology accepted fish killer.
If I ever need another user name, there it is.
Congrats to the Irish lads. Good job you've got a scouser playing for you eh?!Ah well if England hadn't taken Rooney off of us... 😉
http://www.the42.ie/10-best-players-could-have-played-ireland-2107305-May2015/Jees, after a Scouse 11 are we?!
Tony Cascarino-don't make me go there 😉Ah yeah but if ye hadn't killed our potatoes and made us move over to ye hundreds of years ago....... 😉 😀
So...Cascarino is reparations? Oh go on then!
Tbh, I think I might swap Cascarino for Scholes, Gazza, Rooney, Bruce, Cahill..... 😉
Pah. They would have done a Grealish too!
Walters knew he had no chance 😉Grealish is going to have a lonely summer 😎
Ha, yes. I'm sure he's thinking twice now. Silly boy might be regretting it.
I expected this to be a list of people born in Ireland that chose other allegiances.
Turns out it was made up entirely of footballers that weren't born in Ireland anyway.We rarely let them leave 😈
Creep...
It's the great-grandmothers you need to blame. Mixing with us lot two or three generations ago. Butterfly Effect in full motion.
Lovely! Means that my 2 backup defenders will have to cover someone else not showing up.
Yeah, more than likely eh! One problem at a time...
Really struggling here...
Just transferred out Payet for Deulofeu in order to remove Pelle next week and someone else to bring in Aguero.
However, after seeing these stats and the way Tottenham have been playing I'm really wondering if i should be try to get Kane in...
Based on my team below, does anyone have any suggestions? I've already used transfer this week..
Butland (McCarthy)
Ward Kolorov Moreno (Bellerin Francis)
Debryne Mahrez Sanchez Ozil Deulofeu
Vardy Lukaku (Pelle)Hold. Don't throw points away.
Yeah i understand that, my concerns are more about how to get Aguero over the next couple weeks and whether I'm making a mistake by overlooking Kane.
Hart
Darmian Kosi Bertrand
Mahrez Sterling Ozil Tadic
Pelle Aguero Lukaku
Butland Drinkwater Kelly Simpson
Bang on the cash not to bad for an Aguero team?
Solid for an Aguero team
Be nice if you could squeeze Kane in for Pelle tho
apart from Darmian, looks pretty decent
best Tottenham defender to own?
Toby imo
thinking the same. Nailed on. I might do Kolarov to Toby.
Highly tempted to run without Kun for a while.
Lukaka, Kane, Vardy up until i see Kun being essentialsounds reasonable.
Haha the problem with Kun is that this could be half an hour into the Liverpool game 😉
I've a WC so I'm saving until 2 weeks time till I get Kun in.
I'm thinking that also. Giroud is also tempting me short term
Lukaku, Gru, Kane
Then down one to Iggy and up another to a kun?!Being overlooked by many on here.
I'd be going for him if I didn't already have Koscielny, Ozil + Sanchez..
Would you rather:
A) Francis-> Ward/Kelly
B) Clyne - > Toby/RoseCan you do Francis to Souare?
Twist - I can't.
A probably, I definitely wouldn't be selling Clyne with his fixtures.
I hope Rupert is not online today 😉
"NEW POST" 😛
