Mark A five goal feast at the Britannia Stadium; whatever next? At least Rafael Van der Vaart stuck the script. The Dutchman notched once again in a disappointing 1-1 draw for Spurs, maintaining his record of scoring in every game he’s played at White Hart Lane; a case of “he started so he finished”…
U could be first.
Hi
Foster — Gilks
A Cole — Vidic — Elmohamady — Simpson — Foley
Fabregas — Cahill — Van der Vaart — Adam — Albrighton
Drogba — Chamakh — Carrol
0.6 cash monies.
Thoughts on these 3 possible moves?
1. Save transfer and do Drogba/Albrighton for Torres/Brunt next week.
2. Cahill to Nani
3. Elmohammady to Coleman
2. is the best shout (but half the United squad have a virus at the mo - has Nani got the lergy?)
Don't get rid of Drogs whatever you do. honestly Torres is a flash in the pan, hasn't shown enough form yet.
I've got both Elmohad & Coleman, both great.
Didn’t have anyone playing last night – its quite boring when that’s the case!
Where is Alonso14?
yeh! bring back Alonso14! 😀
I just got added to total fpl league automatically. To be honest I didn't really want it showing up on prem league site. My mat es would know I take this far too seriously
U can leave league.
It'll be difficult in two weeks time to decide who to bring in between Bent and Defoe - the former has fantastic fixtures, but the latter is capable of scoring big at any time.
Defoe is a terribly frustrating player to own. Little consistency to his goalscoring.
His infamous 5 against Wigan last season sent his stock soaring. VDV is enough cover for (for me) in that Spurs attack.
Still, it'll be interesting to see what kind of understanding VDV & Defoe are able to strike up.
Exactly - that combo could be lethal. And the other three strikers at TH are so gash at the moment, that you'd think Defoe would play every game.
ANYBODY KNOW IF THE BONUS POINTS WERE EVEN AWARDED YET?? DID VDV GET ANY>???
WHO GOT THE POINTS??/ AND WHY DIDNT VDV GET ANY???
lol
I have looked and theres no easy way of seeing who got them, or is there? gyan and vdv didnt get any but who did?
Cat and mole got some for trying to kill someone, Ferguson didn't get any! Crazy night all in all!
BOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks now I can lower my voice ha
Very few people has captained Drogba. If he goes wild it would be major movement up and down. I feel like first GW. He was supposed to be injured but scored 3 goals. He haven't scored for 4 games in the PL and I saw nothing wrong with him against Liv in the second half so I've risked.
"The Drogs could be stopped only by Drogba". IMO
Everbody in my mini league has captained him apart from one guy who done fabs
The top 3 in my minileague has captained Drogba, Teves and Fabregas. Should be interesting.
Loads of people captained Bale. Which was wrong for 2 reasons - (1) He hasn't scored more than 5 for 10 GWk's (2) If you'd have waited until 7.15 for the team news you would have seen VDV playing.
I saw the Liverpool 2nd half and even a half-dead Drogba was imperious. Definitely my (c) for this week.
If he was half dead on Sunday do you really think he will be fully fit tonight?
No, you are wrong for 2 reasons.
1) The other usual candidates for captaincy were Drogba and Fabregas. Drogba has malaria (100% my arse) and Fabs is just as much out of form.
2) Spurs team sheet was released at 7.35 unless you are Harry Redknapp or a Spurs player?
Spurs team sheet was released at 7 05. Twitter. 🙂
You say not many people – but you mean not many people on here, which constitutes a tiny percentage of total managers. Drogba will be the most captained player this week by the masses so if he scores big it wont make much of a difference to your overall ranking, as so many others have him/ captained him
I don't think so, it was all over on the news that he has malaria, even managers that make subs once in 4-5 GW has asked me what's the deal. So they have logged IMO and didn't captained Drogba. In first 10 managers overall there is only one who has Drogs captain. In my mini league only 2 has captained him. Will see what will happen.
Still on my previous statement.
last night i dreamt that he got 17 points this game week, and malouda 7.
I've noticed my Foster / Krul combo isn't looking so great from GW14 onwards, I recall wehn initially choosing that pairing most people were only looking about this far ahead in terms of how long the rotation worked for. Anyone else considering rejigging their keepers so they rotate well for the next 10 GWs or so?
who are you thinking of? I have that same combo but I havent check past gw 14
i haven't really done much research yet, there's a hand link for keeper rotation somewhere but i don't have it bookmarked at work.
theres an article on fasntasytools.com about it
ah yes i see it, that's the same article i was referring to.
Jaas looks ok in place of krul
This is going to sound dumb, but has anyone else got caught out in H2H matches thinking an opponent has made a points hit when in fact they've had 2 freebies? Is there a way of easily checking this that I'm missing?
just go into their transfer list, if week 11 is blank and 12 has two transfers then both are freebies
But they can be carried through over. Basically, I thought my H2H opponent had made a hit this week, but it appears he hasn't. Bit confused.
Look back and check the last time he made a double transfer. So nothing will be carried over from the GWs before that. So if he has made a transfer every week from then on he doesnt have rolling transfer available.
i'm thinking of getting rid of elmo, chelsea and everton in the next 2, plus the fact he was rested last nite and subbed the two before that. no point in having someone worth 5.2m on bench
who should i transfer too..........
Sunderland are solid at home and Elmo will still play the majority of games against non-top 5/6 opposition. If you haven't got other Sunderland defensive cover, I reckon you'll be regretting selling Elmo.
Hmmm I'm not so sure. He played well early season and got 3bps v Man Utd and an assist at Liverpool. He has clearly had a dip in form - was poor at Blackburn, taken off at Newcastle (admittedly probably tactical), subbed against Stoke and benched last night
It will be interesting to see if Elmo is selected for the home games.
The top scorer so far this week has made 78 transfers... Damn!
I like him already 🙂
28 transfers!
Step...away...from...the...transfer...button!
What are you planning this week?
did drogba>torres, brave but liverpool have a decent run of games coming up and torres is on fire..might do hernandez>carroll and cahill>lamps this week...
Very tempted to do precisely the same thing. It's either that, or downgrade Malouda to someone cheap and upgrade one of my bargain basement strikers...
Yep, probably losing Malouda in the next couple of weeks.
Probably after these two good fixtures, though.
Seriously, though, Oliver Reed, the odd hit can work. But nobody can get hits to work for them every week.
Thats not this week Ollie. 🙂
the last 2 were old bean..
Good morning people, everyone recovered after Alonso14gate?
I did see that lineup he posted, then saw the BBC website a few minutes after and then the site crashed.
Needless to say, VDV sat proudly in my team since Saturday evening and was rewarded with a goal.
However, main rival in my main league has made two (free) transfers already after last nights games and I know for a fact that one of them will have been VDV for Bale - especially after last nights game.
Oh well, he was a cracking little differential while it lasted.
Onto tonight: Lets hope none of the Fulham players will want to go near Drogba given his bout of Malaria and he bags himself a few points.
Is drogba a female mosquito?
any news on odemwingie, im guessing hes a starter after playing 30 mins last week!?!!?
Glad to have quick gameweek in a row.
Can you guys click on my team link and advise
I have 3.3mil left in bank. Was thinkng of sorting out my defence now ( with richards and dann ) Should i go for a top defender like Cole or evra ?
It will be interesting to see how Spurs shape up with Defoe back in the team. VDV is benefiting from long balls and crosses to Crouch, so is Harry going to change it and play Defoe as the lone striker? If he plays Crouch and Defoe together who drops out of midfield?
Surely 'arry has to shape his team around VDV?
I agree, but will he get the shape wrong? Spurs are also missing Lennon's pace on the right so he has to put him straight back in I reckon. Modric to miss out? Bale back to left back? I wouldn't do either of those
Think VDV & Defoe will strike up an understanding?
I'm not sure Defoe is very smart. I can imagine VDV getting pissed off at him never passing
Yup,
Defoe and VDV basically equals two strikers wanting to shoot whenever they can. Crouch can oft be infuriating but his hold up and knock down play is bringing out the best in Van Der Vaart, can't see anything close to that happening with Defoe - he's a player who'll want all the glory for himself.
No way modders doesn't start when fit. He's class. And Bale has been too good on the wing to be dropped to defence. Imo when everyone's fit Redknapp will have to start bale, lennon, vdv, modric in mid with hud or palacios anchoring. That leaves defoe to play the lone striker with a lot of bench warming for crouch and pav.
I think you could be right Champ. With alot of running about for nothing and frustrated arm-waving for VDV? I hope not though
surely.
Even though VDV is playing well, Spurs are struggling to score goals, so I think Defoe will definitely come in to partner Crouch up front. What this means for VDV is anyone's guess, but I certainly think it will make him less of a force in FPL.
disagree, it will make a front trio of Crouch/Pav and Defoe and VDV sitting in the pocket, more options for him, maybe less goals but more assists surely, and plus, he will remain on set pieces, VDV is the man
That's aninteresting and attacking theory! Whats the midfield in this Johnny?
He might drop Lennon and play VDV right wing but most likely is to drop Bale to LB and play VDV left mid (or even put VDV in the middle and Modric left)
No way will Bale go to lb now, Bale is seen as a key player, the team gets built around him now not the other way, his European heroics have sealed this.
Guys
What was reason sorenson didn't play? Was he injured or has he been dropped?
my team is fabianski/stockdale
Konchesky/Williamson/Gohouri/Ridgewell/Coleman
Van der Vaart/Albrighton/Malouda/Nani/Fabregas
Carroll/Berbatov/Drogba
any ideas on this weeks transfer? or should i store up 2?
was thinking fabianski>carson/green
or malouda>brunt so then i can get torres for berba??
I absolutely detest that paper!
Agreed, though not quite as dodgy as the Mirror.
I'd be surprised if he doesn't play some part, but if there's even a nugget of truth in this, he might not last the 90...
The Mirror is actually my tabloid of choice. More by default really as I'm not interested in Princess Diana/Wills and Kate's nuptuals (Express), I'm a Celebrity news/famous ladies' pants getting out of cars (Star), Polish gypsy assylum seekers make our forces gay (Mail), or BBC licence fees pays for Ross and Brand's hookers (Sun).
Mirror it is then.
I'm a Liverpool fan, and therefore the Mirror is anathema. I don't think I've ever seen a positive (or truthful) article about the 'Pool in there...
Isn't the Sun the paper that's hated on Merseyside?
How many tabloids do you guys have? Are they all national papers or only published in certain regions?
About half a dozen national tabloids. They all occupy various political stances; or at least claim to, but they mostly concentrate on sensationalist news in their own way. What you expect from tabloids really.
The Mail and Express see themselves as 'quality news', although they aren't. The Star just doesn't care what people think.
Interesting. In Oz we have only three national papers, 2 owned by Rupert Murdoch (one for the simpletons and one for those that fancy themselves a bit clever) and one owned by Fairfax that considers itself a higher class of paper.
Champ - Murdoch runs with the same idea over here too.
The Sun for the simples and The Times for the mid-brows that think they're highbrows.
Both run quite a lot of stories about "abuses" and "money wasting" at the BBC in a continued attempt to get rid of the licence fee and get rid of Murdoch's main competitor in TV-land.
God I hate that guy.
Still, at least we don't have a Fox News equivalent....yet.
"Bent and Gyan are still the only two players to have scored for Sunderland in the league so far this season."
That's crazy, we're 12 games in and only two sunderland players have scored.
Oh snap.
Missed the deadline. I thought I'd have until 11:30 today?
Operation "Get Tevez In" starts today.
Should I...
a.) Dembele, Malouda and Bale OUT - Tevez, Jarvis/Hunt and Nani in.
b.) Dembele, Stam, Foster and Bale OUT - Tevez, Simpson/Foley, Hahnemann and Jarvis/Hunt IN.
Option a costs nothing and be done over 2 weeks.
Option b would cost 8 points next week.
option a looks sound to me boss, with hunt. Though it should be re-named operation "Get Nani in and let Tevez come for the ride".
yeah mate, that's what I'm planning to do in a couple weeks. Can't have em all
I like B better if it's a medium to long term move,on brief glance fixtures would favour it I think.
my team is fabianski/stockdale
Konchesky/Williamson/Gohouri/Ridgewell/Coleman
Van der Vaart/Albrighton/Malouda/Nani/Fabregas
Carroll/Berbatov/Drogba

"Ironically, while Van der Vaart had suffered a price drop in the FPL in the last 24 hours, Bale has increased in value."
Almost as bizarre as given Etherington an assist last night eh?
And Cattermole 3BPs ,presumably for his assault.
just sent fpl my thoughts on the Etherington assist
If they are consistent they shouldn’t allow it. I thought Carroll’s earlier in the season was an assist and it was not given.
The one Bale was later awarded a few weeks back I was fine with as it was heading towards THud anyway. Jarvis got one a couple of weeks ago that was pretty scandalous and Etherington’s last night was an eye poppingly bad decision which I hope they rectify. I half expect them to allow it mind.
You will receive a standard response along the lines of "All assists are provided by the press association and will be reviewed within 24 hours".
Although it would be nice if they replied with "Dearest Relentless, you are right. We are morons who don't even like football, let alone watch the games. Here's 10 bonus points on us"
It is madness that I'm thinking of going no Chelsea from GWK14 to GWK20?

Can you explain to me what is desirable about that run in? Both of their home games won't be high scoring, they could very well be beaten by the Mancs and Everton could pinch a draw. Two London derbies away where anything could happen. Birmingham and Newcastle are the weakest links and Chelsea have struggled at St. Andrews historically. One of the players I'm thinking of getting rid of (Malouda) was sent off their last season! Feel free to put forward your argument for sticking with the champions...
They were outshone by Wolves at the Bridge recently. Liverpool beat them recently. I get the feeling you are holding onto to last season and the first two results of this season.
to be quite honest i don't give a monkeys what you do with your team or what you think i'm holding on to. you asked - i answered.
Not totally they have a Naff run of fixtures and seem to have run out of early season form, ( but they are still top)
If you had to sell Malouda or Drogba and get by on just 1 Chelsea player, who would you keep?
Is bosingwa getting rotated due to a lack of fitness/match sharpness or can we expect him to be a rotation risk for the rest of the season.
he will always be a rotation risk if everyone's fit. He's competing with Chelsea's best defender imo for the right back slot. I'd expect him to play most of the nice home fixtures but I think Ivan will play more games overall for the rest of the season.
Yep rotation risk, usually in for the easier games according to those on here who know.
Cheers lads, looks like I'll be bringing Alex back in then.
Have you considered Cech? No rotation there. Even Alex has a slight risk, when Bosingwa starts at right back it's possible ivanovic could be preferred to alex at cb.
Help please gents. I need a solid defender but have only 5m to spend. Obvious ones are at Sunderland but they have Chelsea and Everton next two weeks. Hutton was thought of but Spurs have Arsenal, Liverpool and Chelsea in the next 5. Was considering Huth but Stoke seem to let in a lot of goals.
I already have Williamson and Coleman.
Ideas?
+1
I'm not too bothered but this morning I got added to the total fpl league. How did that happen? I've never registered any details through them, just looked on the site for price changes
Kingston you must be going senile, the only way you can join a league is by entering in the code and clicking join. Unless you have given out your password?
yeah
