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”…
Can someone look at my link and let me no if i have any players in my 1st XI that are NOT likely to start tonight?
VDV as 1st sub argggghh!
bosingwa is your only hope but i think hell play.
why didnt u just start vdv anyway incase he played?
hindsight is wonderful... i've made some terrible decisions this season and really have missed out on about 50-60 points through poor captain choices, high scoring benches and no transfers pulling off! I'm already thinking about next season... its THAT bad
Because Alonso14 said so?
VDV my 1st sub too. But Elmo didn't play so welcome 7 points to my team. 🙂
FFS..... YaYa has dropped .2 in the last two days with no reference to him on Fantasy Tools on either of the days.
WTF. There goes my Nani in Transfer, leaving me with 0 in the bank.
Negative.
He's 5.2m and has only dropped .1m since GW11.
That's a negative Ghost Rider.
That's right!
I think you right. he has dropped .2 since I bought him though, granted that was a couple gameweeks back.
Still I check this shit religiously every day and night and there was no Yaya imminent drop in sight...
Hmm that is a bit inconvenient. If you register for fantasy tools you can use the 'my team' feature on the prices rises and drops, sure he would have been highlighted on there?
The reason is: for players who have risen above their starting price, at any point during the season, the NTO needed for a drop is the (negative) NTI, rather than 10% of owners. TotalFPL doesnt seem to have modelled this correctly - A similar thing happened to me, very irritating!
Just goes to show you shouldn’t be too reliant on FT
Need to get R Johnson out looking at Birmingham's fixtures - who should i replace him with (got 5.8 to spend)?
Good for you!
I wonder how Tevez actually "tells his friends" that he is 50/50.
Pigeon carrier would normally be my first bet but I have a feeling that with the risk of bird flu in recent years and the influx of technology, young Carlos resorted to morse code.
Or maybe he just flies his (red/black crossed out at this point but not sure how to do it) sky/blue flag at half-mast outside his house.
Cheers Twisted and Sma, I agree the matching thing is boring.
Really want RVP from around GW15 onwards. Thing is been hearing a few quotes about Walcott being converted to a striker. How true is this? Cheaper route to Arsenal forwards and doesnt take up a valuable slot in front 3 of Drog/Tevez/Elmander.
I've heard that "rumour" too, but not really sure how relevant it is or how it changes things. Arsenal play with one up top and that's never going to be Walcott so if it's true then it must be Wenger reminding Walcott that he's in the team to be a goal threat.
Haha yeah Walcott definitely needs reminding! I missed his run start of the season, hoping he sorts it out again but then agai Fabs back might screw it up.
On the Eurogamer forum last night there was guy in the FPL thread telling everyone that Barton was better value than Van der Vaart because they were both on 43 points, but Barton was much cheaper.
Maybe Mark could use hire him as the next Scout contributor. 🙂
Lee Dixon
Hey Guys,
Looking at switching out Dan or Jones for a similar priced defender. have my eye on Upson, Hutton or Clark. Anybody got any recommendations or other sugesstions?
My team
Jaaskelainen (Krul)
Elmohamady, Simpson, Coleman (Dann, Jones)
Fabregas, Van der Vaart, Nolan, Yaya Toure, Arteta
Drogba, Tevez (Dembele)
ack, why would you put Hutton in your team?
Because he might not play and when he does won't keep a clean sheet?
I would get Yaya Toure out if anyone
Hutton is a good pick at the price, or are you giving mis-advice deliberately because of your username. I can't tell 🙂
lol, it was real advice, he is quite cheap but you are relying on him scoring and I can't see Spurs keep any clean sheets for a while (they have tricky fixtures)
also wouldn't Corluka replace him at RB? :/
I'm not listening! You're trying to get me to sell someone... blah blah blah!
Yeah, that's a potential risk with Hutton but I think he's been quite disciplined defensively and is confidence is returning with his attacking runs. Tottenham aren't likely to tighten up at the back until Dawson replaces Kaboul or Gallas and Harry moves Modric out wide, so you're right - probably best to avoid for the moment.
of those 3 I'd choose Hutton, just because he's getting forward. I wouldn't want a Hammer and Clark probably won't keep his place. I don't see Corluka pushing Hutton out but it's possible I suppose
Crushing_It
tbh, I would get rid of Dann and Jones and try bring in Ashley Cole and a 4million defender
then u can play A.Cole/Coleman + 1 defender every week
so has alonso14 been on today (cant be bothered to check every page)
what did he do out of interest that annoyed people so much?
posted team lineups of teh spurs game that said bale sub and vdv out, the site crashed shortly after so ppl took it as gospel
luckily i was only looking at team news to do either bale or vdv in for nasri and has SSN on so managed to do the nasri to vdv transfer in time
if hed said bale was starting rather than on teh bench id have made that move
Read the other articles and pages so we don't have to keep going over it again! Think of all the wonderful insightful posts you're missing out on.
Has Carlo announced the Chelski side for tonight chaps?
Not hered...
Drogba isn't starting tonight <_<
Yeah good one...
http://www.chelseafc.com/page/LatestNews/0,,10268~2214661,00.html
yep... hasselbaink and zola are coming in to replace drogba and malouda
http://football-talk.co.uk/9398/wenger-claims-you-will-see-a-different-player-on-wednesday/?
I should bloody well hope so
He's gonna tear Wolves a new hole.
...in their advertising hoarding when he keeps missing the target...
Will an assist be reverted 24 hours after it was awarded?
The Etherington one? They could change it today yes
Yup. A few weeks ago they awarded Hart an assist a couple of days after the gameweek finished.
only one day. 24 hours is the cut-off
I know I shouldn't get frustrated on xbox live with kids but it is rather annoying.
They died so of course we were camping (black ops), then we were "sad" because we were playing during the day. So what were they doing?!
Is it just me or does that comment not make any sense?
i hear you andy. little faggots can be so annoying. just tell them theres no such thing as santa clause.
I recognize that frustration all too well. Get that alot on NHL11 on PS3 aswell. People leave the game as soon as I go 1 or 2 goals up. Kids.
NHL is approximately 5 billion times better than FIFA. The developers of NHL really should do FIFA. I'm still on NHL10 but 11 is on my Christmas list
It's one of those riddles like, "on my way to St. Ives, I met a man with 7 wives".
Err, is the answer 1?
Come on James Morrison!!*
*Not clutching at straws 😉
The missus saw me checking FPL last night after I missed the Spurs match.
She see's my team and says, "My favourite one is Van Der Vaart because it sounds like fart."
Sigh.
would have been better if she'd said "sounds like fanny-fart"
Where is Katie?
Not seen her for ages. Last I heard Desperate Dan was bangin' her or something
you should see her, she's RUINED
her a***hole is like a wizard's sleeve
in a dungeon with muffy, listening to goodbye horses asking her reflection if it wants to copulate with her.
You guys know that its actually a he not she, rite?
i think the jury is out on that. My reference above is to silence of the lambs, basically saying what you just did.
lol. That kind of a dude wud be really freaky!
Katie's pic was stolen from someone on Facebook; someone outed her and she/he hasn't been back since.
Vegas will be after you soon then 'Louise'
How did that come out? Inspector RBJ?
PS: Better not tell Damn_Dan. Let him live "the dream" a bit longer.
someone found the picture she had on someones facebook online. amazing bit of sleuthing
i found out ages ago, as i found out your have a cock and balls too
How do you know Shahriyar?
Somebody outed her/him by showing that the picture she used saying that was her was actually from somewhere else on the internet or something like that.
any woman that has an affinity for farts is a keeper. They only get more frequesnt as the years go on. I'd be delighted with that.
any predictions for the united/ city game???
Foster/Al Habsi
Coleman/Bosingwa/Konchesky/Simpson/Crainey
Malouda/Fabs/Cahill/Nani/VdV
Drogs/Elmander/Piquionne
My current team. Am slowly dropping from top positions down thouhj, have gone from 1,4,1,1 in my four mini leagues to 4,5,2,2 and am not happy about it!
I think im taking too many point hits, so with that in mind im planning another 😀
how does: Bosingwa-> Mummy
Malouda-> Ferguson
Piquionne-> Tevez
look? bosingwa uncertain of starts, malouda doesnt seem to be doing much (tho i have given him my armband this week as a mini gamble) and really want Tevez in. only other option is to drop fabs but im sure he will be bringing a whole load of points soon enough.
No, maybe, and no.
1. Mummy has been taken off in two matches and benched in the last. As there's no suggestion of an injury, Brucey thinks he's off the boil. Switch to Alex, or maybe have a look at Knight - Bolton's fixtures look decent.
2. I'm thinking of shipping Malouda too, but I'd go for Cahill instead.
3. Why get rid of Piquionne when he's in form and West Ham's fixtures are so favourable?
Piquionne has Blackpool (h) and Wigan (h) in next 3 GWs, so maybe don't sell him til after that.
dermot gallagher is a moron. that was NOT a bentley penalty, you can see clearly he goes down before the contact- sad thing is if he had kept going he would have been clear in on goal.
Bently you little metrosexual knobber
Agree about the Bentley incident. He was going down before contact was made and therefore looking to make contact and fool the ref. Quite right to get booked.
It's made worse by so called "expert" pundits giving their opinion as though it's gospel when all you have to do is look at the incident in slow motion and see for yourself. Something the ref (Webb?) didn't have the benefit of and still got the decision right.
damn right, the rear angle shows it perfectly, and the ref consiltant on sky and redknapp say different..sure we know why redkanpp said it anyway.
fookin joke, its so obvious from behind its frightening how they can be so wrong
I'm selling Elmo next week. Seems the right time for me and I think he's underachieved as an OOP - points mainly from cleanies. His place definately looking a bit shaky now and no room in my team for Sunderland players that aren't nailed on. Besides, frees up cash to get Alex back in 🙂
Anyone think it's unwise to dispense with the Mummy?
I think one more week and see what happens.
Well in fairness even as a cheap defender he's done nicely points wise
+1
he was 4.odd million, got a few assists and jsut shy of chelsea for clean sheets.
Yes, underachiever....christ
his oop points are not as good as i would expect - i didn't say he hasn't done well overall
and my point is he's no good if he's not playing
and he's had just one assist by the way
Bruce made 6 changes to his team for last night's game, probably cos of 3 games in 7 or 8 days, so I don't think we can get too much info from that team selection. Kieron Richardson was playing last night...
Worth keeping an eye on, but I wouldn't sell just yet.
But look who they have played:
Ars/ManCity/ManU/Livpool/Villa/Spurs with only Chelsea this weekend of the big boys to go.
Surely assists/goals/BP's to follow?
and try conversing like a normal person rather than a snidey cnut mate if you want my advice - which i'm sure you don't
Bale capatain, it hurts... it hurts bad
my last three weeks have been a rotation of drogba and fabs. seems sound, no?
As we all know my last three weeks have got me about 10pts from my captains. And thats after its been doubled.
You must enjoy the pain. That's the only explanation I can find for that decision.
Whats all this guff I hear about Nani starting tonight? ... Fergie mind games ahoy!
Amazingly, de Jong has never been sent off for City
...UNTIL TONIGHT!!
lol, de Jong v Fletcher in a derby atmosphere could be a bit tasty!
Or Scholes with his imperiously timed tackles 😛
anyone else plucked for obinna and wish they hadnt?
I hope my fears are unfounded!
I went for Piq and afraid Obinna will haunt me (couldn't choose between the 2).
Good punt
i think whoever scores the most out of the 3 will be luck, they all have a case for them. i went piquionne but it was a close call
my main concern is they get turned over both games
He is a good little player and very penetrative but nobody couldn't predict that he'll be played out wide and so at best you can hope for now is he gets somme assists as he can create chances.
You've just said "penetrative".
Admit it people, you all sniggered! 😉
Someone should have a ridiculous punt on Fellaini -
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2010/nov/10/marouane-fellaini-everton-bolton
He was excellent last year. It's difficult to justify at the minute when Arteta and Cahill play for the same team.
Yeah, but he was played upfront quite a lot though. and he's always good for yellow and an odd dismissal due to his uncontrollable elbows:P . But as you said as long as arteta and cahill is there not much of a chance of being a good fantasy pick, not rite away atleast. maybe he'll come good in patches.
What's the point of this, right... Highest Score so far is 50 achieved by a team of made up of Spurs, Sunderland, Stoke & Brum players (obviously)... but again... what's the point?
yep. tevez on the bench. berbatov, vidic and hernandez on the bench. hargreaves starts with djemba djemba in midfield. also no fabregas for arsenal, henri lansbrury captains the side
Why wouldn't Brucey play Elmo? It's a puzzle to me.
3 games in a week, he's probably just s.brucing up the side
