Paul The return of Kenny Dalglish to top flight football was somewhat overshadowed by a couple of flashpoints and Howard Webb decisions that ultimately decided the outcome of the FA Cup Third Round‘s top billing match at Old Trafford. Elsewhere, it was business as usual, with only Leicester’s home draw against Man City coming close to replicating the Cup shocks of the previous day…
can u tell me what u think of my w/c team? advice appreciated.
hart,stockdale
rafael,coleman,huth,dann,skertel
nani,VDV,fabs,adam,n'zog
van persie,dj campbell,tevez
1.1 in the bank
Aussies leading 2-0 already.
This game could end up with a cricket score
hi all
my current team
hart,mignolet
a.cole,kolarov,rafael,stearman,tamas
fab,nani,vdv,adam,barton
tevez,berba,dj campbell
for dgw24 with 2 free transfer
a.cole > hangeland
tamas > coleman
will use wc for dgw 27
any comments?
Afternoon. Been away a few days. Just wondering what the general consensus is on playing WC. GW24 looks tempting, but playing around with my squad, I can get this at the moment with 0 quid to spare:
Stockdale Begovic
Rafa Djourou Coleman Carr Simpson
Lamps Fabs VDV Nani Adam
Tevez Berbs DJ
Worth going for it?
Possible WC next week...
thoughts?
Foster - Carson
Rafeal - Evatt - Huth - Coleman - Elmo
Adam - VDV - Fabs - Albrighton - Nani
Van P - Drogba - Berba
Currently unsure about Elmo and albrighton, any better options out there? although these two would probably end up on the bench most weeks....
Hey,
Ya il be playing mine week 24 and that team is basically what im looking at as my plan B id have 14 of those players!
Im having trouble deciding on it cos in my other option I keep N zogbia and Torres for their doubles and get RVP.
But ya it looks good
DB yesterday you mentioned something about sky and the europa league could you please humour me and elaborate did not have a clue what you were talking about.
Sky dont cover the Europa league so Roys achievements in getting Fulham to the final have never been mentioned on that station.
So they hardly love him. If anything there points about him were always misleading based on what rights they had.
You do indeed do not know what you are talking about do you not remember Alan Mullery (ssn tv pundit former Fulham FC player)going nuts on ssn when Fulham beat juventus granted the game was not shown live be he in the studio updating every minute.
and for you to tell me ssn have not been backed roy through his time at liverpool I say to to you like the the person I was actually having the argument with you sir are talking out of your ass.
Go find me all the negative press woy received from ssn.
but he was lol
(Repost from bottom of last page)
Who should I bench this GW?
Coleman away to Livepool or
Pantsil away to Wigan
Any opinions?
im considering playing coleman this GW. Think it could pay off
Yeah thats who ive currently got in my line-up for his attacking potential but then just had a doubt because of the likely hood of cards flying about in the game, also fulhams defense seems to have picked up.
The only problem with dropping Coleman would be that if he did well then all my rivals have him so I will loose out alot.
Decisions decisions...
Seriously thinking of wildcarding now, don't see the point in waiting..
Foster, Fabianski
Rafael, Coleman, Nelsen, Alcaraz, Simpson
Fabs, Nani, VdV, Adam, N'Zogbia
Torres, Tevez, Odemwingie
?
what about stockdale for fabianski? he has got a double gw24 when foster has tricky fixtures?
Nah, Stockdale is short term. Want to hopefully keep the keepers I pick now for the whole season.
As i was saying to Denial above thats my option A but I have RVP and Berbatov for Tevez & Odemwingie and Djourou for Nelsen
Looks good
Cheers, might just punt on Djourou instead of Nelsen actually and get Begovic in goal. Basically my team is done apart from my defence but their is so many options!
That's what I'm doing.
If Djourou gets dropped, Foster > Fabianski, Djourou > Dann.
Defense is fairly easy.
Rafael, Coleman, Djourou, Blackpool Defender, Player from team with double GW guaranteed starts (currently Pantsil for me).
That defence looks really nice and everything but who would you bench from it GW24? Rafael has a double, Djourou has Wigan at home, Coleman has West Ham at home, Blackpool double and Pantsil double.
thinking of leaving my team as is for this week giving me 2feebies for the double next week, anyone agree??
foster (alhabsi)
coleman kolarov bardsley (rafael, gohouri)
VDV nani fabregas adam (tchoyi)
tevez varney berbatov
havent finalised final 11 yet
ok im guna say it out loud
"agbonlahor is tempting me for the double gameweek"
is that mad?
For those wildcarders looking at 3.9 defenders - quite often now I see Steven Taylor being mentioned, in a way he isn't a bad pick. He is getting played more regularly and offers some attacking threat from set pieces. However it is only a matter of time before Pardew surely realises that Williamson is a better defender and Taylor is back to being a rotarisk.
Conversely Danny Simpson at 3.9 is as nailed on as you get, carries more chance of assist and a similar likelihood of scoring (ie very low).
If you HAVE to get one Newcastle defender I would suggest Simpson.
I think 3.9 for a Newcastle defender is great value, you've had 6 cleanies this year.
Oh it is, but the problem is predicting the cleanies - not at home to Wigan, Blackpool, Stoke - but away to Arsenal etc... Frustrating. Anyway I'll probably be getting Simpson in.
True, think your going to have a solid end to the season, plus you got cleanies against West Ham & Wigan so maybe the unpredictable days are over.
I do think the whole league will be more predictable from now on, with all the 'big' players back the bigger teams in the league shouldn't drop as many points.
Oh Lord I hope so! Going to gamble on just that by getting Lampard and Fabregas for my WC team.
and a matter of time before s.taylor is back on the treatment table.
attila why is r.taylor not 1st choice rb for newcastle?
Basically because he is a bit shite, he can take a mean set-piece but other than that crap.
WC team
Hart Stockdale
Djourou Bardsley Foley Rafael Coleman
Brunt Nani VdV Fabregas Adam
Tevez Carroll Berbatov
( 2.2 in bank )
Should I pick N'Zogbia over Brunt? Etherington also an option.
i've got n'zog in my w/c team.
for the double gameweek 24 which combo is best:
a) hughes kolarov berbatov
b) djourou kolarov rvp
c) hughes rafael bent
d) skrtel hangelaand bent
e) something else that involves one of bent or kolarov
India trying to play football is so cruel, its like bullying at school, at least give them a chance and let them have a hockey stick each!
we don't even deserve to be in the asian cup as well.
neither do Australia
because they are not from asia.
i think it is good for both asian n australian football that they joined asian football association.ocenia group don't have any team that have any qualities may be just newzealand...it was a step forward that aussies joined afa for australian football overall...
This is not a RM WC post!
RE: King Kenny
Having only started watching football in the Nineties, I didn't have the privilege to watch King Kenny play and am genuinely curious at his ability.
Would anyone care to share their opinions on my questions below:
1. What sort of player was he? Any comparison to a player now? His goals look sorta Messi-ish from YouTube with the driving runs and delicate left footed chips over the keeper.
2. What kind of Manager was he? Did he prefer a certain type of formation?
3. How much would he cost now on FPL? Hand him the armband every GW?
1) He was brilliant, I suppose a comparison could be made to a good Wayne Rooney, he was industrious with a nice touch and a good finisher.
2) Depends who you ask, Liverpool fans think he is the business. However he inherited a great squad there that were streets ahead of their rivals. Blackburn he bought the title when no-one else was spending big. Newcastle inherited a really good side and then gradually ballsed it up bringing about the decline. Signed some good players (Speed, Given) and some true shockers (Maric, Guivarch)
3) 14m (c) fo'shizz.
Since there seems to be a few similar posts goin around now a little help on this choice would go down well
Team A WC week 24
Foster, Stockdale,
Hughes,Djourou,Rafeal,Simpson,Coleman,
Vdv,Nani,Fabs,N zog,Adam
Rvp,Torres,Berba
This time more balanced and set up nicely for doubles but there are questions over whether RVP will play in the games i want him to due to CL
It also has no Chelsea coverage. Tevez would replace torres after Dgw
Team B WC This week/Next week
Begovic,Stockdale,
Carr,Rafeal,Coleman,Djourou,Simpson
VDV,Nani,Lampard,Fabregas,Adam,
Berbatov,Tevez,Campbell.
I like the coverage in this and it means not relying on Torres who seems out of form and fitness.
I can cover Chelsea and the doubles and when second double gameweek comes along Week28 I can perhaps bring in RVP if he is playing and Carroll for Tevez and Campbell
A or B?
B
A for me.
Although try and get Tevez...
Hughes is also probably the worst Fulham pick. Go with Pantsil to save funds or Hangeland/Baird for attacking potential.
Thanks for help and added confusion!
Ya Tevez would come in once Torres dgw is over. One week punt on Torres with 2 games.
Tim Cahill scored................with his foot!
Just realised Fabiasnki/Begovic rotate amazingly!
Just realised Fabianski/Begovic rotate amazingly!
i would be ragin if i was moyes.... one of his best players playin in a mickey mouse cup, plus still payin his wages. to top it off cahill will probably get injured too.
He would have known the fact that he would end up leaving for such things so I'm sure he's made his peace. While it is never ideal to see your best players leave for things like this you just get on with it and hope other players step up, just like Chelsea did last season.
u r also playing in a mickey mouse cup.so just shut up.
i'll say what i want u prick.... you trying to tell me that the asian cup is quality?
if u ask any player he wants to play for their country 1st n asian cup is no mickey mouse cup they have quality teams like japan,aussie,s.korea,uzbekistan which have shown their qualities at the biggest stage in world football so just shut up u moron...
sorry you are right! i forgot about that breeding ground for cracker football players, uzbekistan!
Eh? Wasn't Boom simply making a comment about your avatar and the fact that "you" (ji sung park) is also playing in the Asian Cup?
Jeez, keyboard warriors.
What are people's opinions on getting in on the City defence? Is it a matter of Hart or nothing? Or are Toure and Kolorov viable options?
Probably ased a million times but which out of the following big name players are the most necessary for the long time but also considering upcoming DGWs:
Fabergas
Nani
Lampard
Nasri
Tevez
VDV
Berbatov
Bale
VDV
Nani
Fab
are the most necessary IMO
1) tevez and hangeland
or
2) RVP and Evra?
I will also be getting in berbatov and fabs for torres and nzog, I'm leaning towards the first one so as not to do the egg basket
Personally i would have gone for 1 anyway
thanks... it does seem like a more reliable option...
Definitely 1 for me, though with Rafael to free up more money
rafael is more expensive than hangeland??
I may get RVP for their DGW but want to wait till he shows some actual point returns before i take the gamble.
too true
Best for GW24?
Nzog,Dempsey,A.Young?
Fabianski and Begovic rotate perfectly..
Going for Hart and Harper myself.
(wanted a city defender so got the only one thats gaurenteed to start)
congratulations sd u r the 100th person to say that in ffs.
timmy cahill scores again with his freaking head.
now theres a surprise 🙂
Opinions on the following wildcard team?
Foster, Stockdale
Coleman, Foley, Rafael, Eardley, Elmohamady
VDV, Fabregas, Barton, Nani, Lampard
Tevez, Piquionne, Carroll
Stockdale, Coleman, Elmo all won't hold down regular spots when the other 1st team players come back from Injury/Asia Cup. I mention Coleman because Osman is Moyes's favourite player, he is due back soon as well as Cahill and Rodwell...
Coleman is in the 1st team. There is nobody to come back and he made the team when all were fit. Osman was fit in last 2 games and came on to play
and Coleman has scored 3 in 4.
1.5 months ago, Coleman was benched a lot and didn't hold down his spot. He is on form, BUT he will be rotated when Osman is PROPERLY fit, Cahill comes back and Rodwell gets a spell. Also in the news Moyes's assistant talked up chances of the Russian Right Winger starting more games... Your risk, do if you want.
On the russian he is being talked up because Pienaar is about to leave so its both a boost for his confidence and assuring the fans they have somebody to step in.
On Coleman he has played in 18/19 matches.
The one match he didnt feature when he was rested Everton lost, he then came back into the team and subsequently their form picked
Coleman has also made the team when Cahill, Osman, Rodwell, Saha, Yakubu, Felliani, Arteta, Heitinga, Pienaar, Billy , Anichebe have all been available against the likes of City, West Ham, Spurs, Stoke
So ya you dont know what your talking about im afraid.
he has played 18/21 games this season. He has only stayed on for longer than 65 minutes 12 times. He filled in many times as a RB when Everton had their defensive injury crisis. So it's you my friend that doesn't know what he is speaking about, as someone just said in one of your other posts... Read what I say Im saying Coleman is great, BUT when the squad is fully fit and he loses a bit of form, I can't see him starting a few games...
"He filled in many times as a RB when Everton had their defensive injury crisis"
This is where this debate ends when its obvious you dont know what your talking about.
Coleman has played Right wing all year. Again the squad has been fully fit before,
So your basing your judgement on him "losing form"....which is just speculative at best and grounded in nothing.
Are you retarded dbronaldo? Coleman was originally a RB this season. he filled in when Hibbert and Phil Neville were out. Do you even watch the games? You see an article about winger and assume he played their all year? Are you for real dude?
I know he is a rightback.
Im from ireland ive known about him for about 18months.
He previously played RB for Blackpool last year but this year he has be used on the right wing.
So tell when did he play right back?
A quick check of the stats backs my orginal point up, Phil Nev and Hibbert havent been out together and Coleman has played Right wing.
Ive got him in early and he has been playing right wing.
So stop talking nonsense .
Leighton Baines was in this situation a couple of years ago, and look at him now. Moyes gave Coleman the chance, and now he's taken it.
Why would he be rotated if he's playing well and scoring goals? makes no sense.
Bookmarked!
Coleman is first choice right mid at the moment. Only his performances are keeping him in the first team. We're all waiting for the bubble to burst no matter how 'glass half empty' that sounds.
Coleman is great if you have him, I don't know if I'd transfer him in though. Hangeland at similar value would be my pick given the favourable DGW and longevity.
Alreet lads.
Everyone else has posted their wild card musings on here, so I thought that I might as well have a go too. Its slightly different to the norm (at least in defence and up front, so I'd by very interested in hearing your comments.
Hart (Kingson)
Rafael/ Toure/ Dawson/ Djouru (Simpson)
Fab/ Nani/ VDV/ Nasri/ Adam
Drogba/ Carrol (Odemthingy)
I am looking to play it for GK26 or GW27. Hopefully Drogba will be back in form by then. I have another team in almost the same position (around 20,000) and have already WC on that one. It will be an interesting experiment to see which one does better out of it!
Kingson -> Al'Habsi (Kingson short term option, Al'Habsi has a nice double in 24 as well).
Not sure about the City double up with Hart/Toure - I'd consider Hangeland/Skrtel
I like your midfield.
I don't like that you are using 4 defenders, none of which are significant attacking threats (Rafael a bit, but he isn't getting any assists at the moment). Get Coleman for Toure.
You're not taking advantage of the value available in midfield so are having to play two low value strikers. If I were you I'd make a big name out of one of Adam/Carroll/Odemwingie so that you are only trying to rotate 1 of 2 with 3 defenders rather than 1 of 3 with 4 defenders.
So who is playing Coleman this week?
I want to play him in my WC team 🙂
Liverpool with no Stevie Me and Torres out of sorts
Rank these similarly priced midfield options for long term FPL value (1-7):
Nolan
NZog
Etherington
Adam
Brunt
Yaya
MGP
Thanks.
Really Really cant decide .....
Van Persie and Nasri
Or
DJ and Fabs
WC for GW24, finally cracked it methinks this time...
Hart Kingson
Coleman Rafael Simpson Hangeland Djourou
Nani Fabregas Adam VDV N'Zogbia
Tevez Berbatov Welbeck
