Paul Saturday may have seen the eight home teams scored 25 goals between them, but yesterday saw the two remaining hosts fire blanks. Fernando Torres’ Chelsea debut failed to live up to the hype as the Liverpool revival continues to gather speed, and Birmingham climb out of the drop zone with a crucial bottom-of-the-table win at Upton Park.
Played WC on Fri night and brought in Djorou...was all set to not make any transfers this week and to have 2 for GW 28! Now with VDV and Djorou out i think i might even need to take a hit, then there's a want in me to transfer Berbatov to Odemwingie...is this wise?
Exactly the same boat as me mate. Everything would have worked out perfectly, especially as doujrou scored. Injury jinx strikes again, well frustrating. Bout tenth time it's happended this season. Contemplating bringing in huth and walcott and taking a hit but that may be far too short sighted. Gonna sit tight and wait for more news
This is why it was worth holding on the WC unless you really needed to make 4 or 5 changes urgently. We haven't even gotten past the internationals yet. So wait on Walcott. Now prices may rise before Thurs/Fri but you're going to have to be patient.
I don't think he'll rise again before friday. Yeah I prob could have held the wild card but din't want to take a points hit gw28 and I'd have had to spend an extra 0.5m now to bring in the players I did so not regretting it. Just unlucky. Let's hope there's no more injuries this week!
I'm liking all these 'flus' and 'stomach bugs' players are picking up today.
Disagree. I played mine gw 24 for the first double. Not looked back since. I've earned so many points I'm happy to take hits for gw27. I planned for all three double game weeks and has payed off big time.
I meant having not used it for 24 and waited until 26 it was probably worth waiting the extra week, as you might need to make a transfer anyway and lose the 2 free ones.
Plus prices rising would have been less of a factor (though still part of the equation and that's why I said about bringing in 4 or 5).
Ok , yeah agreed
Yo guys, when will the Tottenham/Spurs game be rescheduled?
And whats up with Chelsea's blank gw in 28?
It's been asked 1000 times and answered 900 times and the answer is always there is no definite answer yet.
Whatever the case both games can't be 100% confirmed to be or not be in GW 28 until after the FA Cup games in GW 27.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/02/01/scout-report-fernando-torres-to-chelsea/comment-page-6/#comment-1340876 has some thoughtful speculation.
Yes I know Arsenal Spurs could at any moment declare the fixture re-arranged for some dat in April, but surely they'd have done that already unless they were waiting for the FA Cup to see if it was possible. I don't think they will suddenly announce something in this week other than to pencil it in for midweek 28.
I'm actually considering Doyle for this week as the cheap 3rd striker. I know he hasn't been prolific by any means but against Arse with their defensive problems and a leaky WBA he might be a good gamble, has a good future 28 also.
Plus I dont really trust Odem, he always seems to be doubtful for games on a regular basis.
anyone see this move as a nice move?
cahill->arshavin
cahill->walcott
4point hit
who do you think will start both games??
ty!
U obviously can't have seen Arshavin play much recently?
b all day
Doyle or Odemwingie.
Neither Brunt nor Nolan. Barton better.
Barton over Nolan?
Hmmmmm... Nolan is due some goals imo. Especially now NUFC have a striker crisis.
maybe best(nu) and brunt(wba) ....
next week line up, foster, carr,huth,simpson adam,fabs,vdv,nani,brunt van persie,odemwingie. Subs myhill,tevez,kelly,clark. 10 dgw players with nani, is vdv injured tho? Tevez to start if he is and thinking of starting kelly ahead of simpson even tough he has a dgw
Choose one:
barton, nolan, bentley
Barton 100% on penalty duty? Need more people’s opinion on this.
Personally, leaning towards Barton.
i think nolan even though not in great form recently but had gut feeling he will get something out of it in these dgw lol
I think I am leaning towards Barton because of his price tag. I have brunt, is he fit for both games?
Rate my WC team?
Foster
Huth, RJohnson, Kelly
VDV, Walcott, Nani, Adam, Barton
RVP, Odemwingie
Begovic, Tevez, Kolarov, Coleman
Fernando Torres pulls out of Spain squad to play Colombia due to a Broken Nail.
Anyone else fearing the worst ?
Poor guy. Always happens, you pay for a manicure and then go snap a nail.
Beaten to it. 🙂
Hang on, I'll check my nails.
Fabregas is out too, though he had a faulty pedicure not manicure
I hop he's alright for the weekend.
As for most of the people on here, GW27 with the following blanks in GW28 is causing problems.
Team as follows:
Begovis/Kingson
Coleman, Vidic, Kelly, Walker, Hangeland
Dempsey, Nzog, Fabs, VDV, Nani
Rvp, Odemw, Tevez
2 free transfers.
The choice im leaning towards would be:
Hangeland - Roger J
Nzog - Adam
Would ever consider a 4point hit to get in A Young/Cahill or even Bentley. Even considering geting out VDV because of injury and GW28 blank. Wouldn't really mind loosing value and transfering him in later.
Any suggestions? Help appreciated!
Everyone seems to be going for huth that has a double coming up and a decent fixture in gw28.
But I suppose it depends on doubling up on a stoke keeper/def. You need Adam imo just to cover the fact that nearly everyone has him.
Would it be crazy to not "waste" a trsfr on a keeper that plays in gw 28 just to field 11 player(considering that Foster will always be my no1 keeper when Birm have games)?
Im thinking of rather getting in someone like Cahill for a midfielder that does not play in gw 28.
I'm pondering that, inalize. I'd rather get another keeper to replace Kingson, but don't really have a lot of money to play with.
Im considering selling djourou & vdv for say huth/shawx(surely he WILL score this season?) and walcott(I can't beleive im considering him...)with my 2 free transfers.
Other option is to just get one of the 2 of them and rolling a trade for gw 28. Then i don't mind getting a keeper and say Cahill.
I just feel walcott could score some decent points this week and my 2 main rivals in mini league scr*wed me over this week as I had Fabregas and they had walcott + huth/kolarov.
odemwingie in the nigeria squad for their friendly 🙁
http://www.wba.co.uk/page/News/0,,10366~2287473,00.html
Great, I'd put money on him picking up an 'ankle' injury and being doubtful for sat
http://sport.virginmedia.com/football/article/2011/02/07/fabregas_out_of_spain_squad
Arsene def risking being fined at this rate. These are some of the worst excuses ever!
I wonder if Torres will go play? Couldn't stop him even when carrying an injury at the reds.
Don't arrange pointless f**king international friendlies at the height of a busy League,Multiple Cup and European schedule and teams won't have to come up with "lame" excuses.
Probably a bit stupid but I might just write off 28. I think it's stopping people from gettin teams they want for 27 but I think a very strong 27 side + poor 18 side will easily out score an average 27 side + good 28 side. I think if u spend points getting players out for 28 and then back in the week after I reckon overall people will be down on just riding out week 28 as loads of people will be without players for that week.
I think your right on that one. I'm going with a heavy GW28 side with 8/9 DGW's plus Kelly, VdV and Tevez/Nani.
As a result GW28 I will at default be able to name 10 players. It will be a very average side I put out and will probably go Fabs -> Cahill because my buy back and selling value for him with be pretty much the same.
aggressive expansion! Makes sense in principle, but when you factor in this crazy season so far, there is nothing to say, and hasn't in the past, that single GW players in GW27 won't outscore DGW players, happens all of the time.
Interesting analogy.
I guess the trick is to know how many dgw players will be enough to get a great score for 27 and then an average score for 28.
I'd be happy with having 8 DGW players and 11 gw 28 players, who are not even that bad for their fixtures.
My dgw players should do just aswell as people who have overloaded with 11 dgw players over the course of gw 27 and 28
I would like to nominate GW26's highest scorer overall for having the ugliest customized kit Ive ever seen. That is all.
Bo***cks, now I've got track it down.
yours at least has an 80s retro feel. The week winner's looks like it would cause seizures.
Is there any chance that we will know for sure what's happening with the postponed Spurs vs Arsenal game before the next deadline?
how is there a chance though? Like don't they have to wait for other results or games?
well it is dependant on the FA cup tie v L.Orient so no.
sorry I may have been wrong there. Can someone point to me when tha Arsenal v Tottenham game could be:
Saturday, 12 February 2011
Barclays Premier League
Arsenal v Wolverhampton
Wednesday, 16 February 2011
Uefa Champions League
Arsenal v Barcelona
Sunday, 20 February 2011
The FA Cup
Leyton Orient v Arsenal
Tuesday, 22 February 2011
Barclays Premier League
Arsenal v Stoke
Sunday, 27 February 2011
Carling Cup
Arsenal v Birmingham
Sorry again its after the CC final mid-week. Back to sleep Gaz!
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2011/02/01/scout-report-fernando-torres-to-chelsea/comment-page-6/#comment-1340876
1st/2nd March is where the FA Cup replay has to go. Otherwise no fixture. But do Arsenal voluntarily schedule Spurs 3 days after the cup final and before more Barcelona?
1st or 2nd March same as Chelsea/Man U 2nd game 28
Not likely but possible imo.
Ask umo.
+1
Yes but Zero chance at all that before the dealine you will have a confirmed date in GW 28 that will take place with 100% certainty. Isn't that really what you are asking?
Hows This for Double Gameweek (using My First Wildcard)
Foster/
Ridgewell/Johnson/Jara/Huth
Adam/VDV/Walcott/ Fab
Crouch / Van Persie
Bench /Begovich/ Nani/Vidic/ Taylor Fletcher
I would try a another Stoke defender instead of Jara by downgrading Vidic, I am taking Vidic out this week, United's fixtures just aren't good enough to equate to alot of clean sheets, other than that, sweet!
i also have crouch go for it windmachine and he has done better than defoe in fpl tosey...
and then u r screwed the next week. try again
I bet you're well chuffed with that.
100% double games
Cool site
I'm thinkin of arsenal's CB problem(most of the CBs out)
Can Gibbs play as a CB?
Ouch Crouch. Why have Taylor-Fletcher in a DGW if you want to bench him?
Yes I was going to ask that,then got distracted by your randomly placed post,and started thinking about turbine design.......................Weird. OK back with the brain now,not that that is necessarily an advantage.
Team for This week:
(DGW)Foster , (Stockdale)
Kelly, carr, bardsley (vidic, kolarov)
adam, fabregas, vdv, nasri(nani)
berba, tevez, DJ Campbell...
Plan is... Nasri ---> barton and berba ----> van persie (for free)
then week after bench vdv, fabs, van perse and do carr ---> coleman
hows it looking with no hits?
would anyone take a 4 point hit this week to do:
DJ campbell ---> odemwingigiewe?
this is incredible, my entire squad is sitting out international play. Newest member? Chris Brunt is out via Twitter feed.
VDV, RVP, Kelly, Brunt, Fabregas, this is getting comical.
Nice. All good news
good thing i dont play fantasy international friendly football. now theres a phuckin' nightmare.
because he is 4.3m (thats all i have left) and blackpool are playing wolves in the next gameweek.
I think the wind blew your mouse away from the reply button then
thats the whole point of 2 wildcards Billy. whats the matter used yours first week like everyone else?
ooops, and again.
there we go
Now come on there is no need to be like that. You might have 2 but what is your rank. You link to your own webpage so obviously it's not that great.
My rank is 242 at the moment finished last year at 159 I'm hoping with this double game week I can move up high.
is 242 good. Thanks
Windmachine, the person ranked 242 has used both wildcards and finished around 400k last season
no need to lie....
hahaha!
Lol. I wasn't even going to check. Funny......
45 above mine so quite good but I'll believe it when I see it.
Rank or points?
Sorry, but I couldn't resist 🙂
HAHAAH
im also learning how defensive everybody is about there scores and who is the best.
some anal people on here am i right>?
Lol, so what's your rank?
Actually, this place is surprisingly uncompetitive. It's rare that someone uses better rank to win an argument and if they do try then they usually get shouted down. Mini leagues are more important to most than overall rank. But lying about your rank never goes down well...
+1
good win yesterday MnL swansea looked a good team against us but maybe that says more about us atm than them!!
Delighted tosey! For once our gameplan vs Swansea worked, as we usually get outplayed even when we beat them. Amazing goal, too. Great win for you guys, and Keogh's off the mark already. Do you know how he did? Off on lunch now so will see your reply later...
how have I lied .
quite clearly was a joke or I would still be claiming to be that position?
lets be honest nobody that posts here is in the top 2,500 we all know that.
I was very disciplined and waited until the 2nd week to use mine 🙂
I'm not actually ranked 242 I just knew it would gain me some instant street cred on here.
Harry- thanks welcome to the world of kitesurfing
Street cred???... now we just think you're full of *&@#
where I am from your street cred is actually gained via how much time you spend "off" the web.
thoughts for this week?
P NEV as capt right? (i know the lingo)
says someone who in the last 20mins has felt the need to boast about having 2 wildcards and lie about their rank....
1 by my girlfriend she is 2 (my rank)
and as for the double wildcards.
Is there anybody on the whole of fantasy league that wouldn't want to be sitting here with 2 wildcards available.
Well one of them has to be used this week.
I'm on a WC and still have one available, how is that?
thanks steve! my first official street cred ! WOOOOO maybe we can call it FANT CRED
+1000!!
Are you David Moyes? He hates having his credibility called into question and captains P NEV a lot too.
nope I'm a better manager then D.M
I always thought that when you used a wildcard you only had one free transfer the following week - Even if you didn’t use one the week prior to it.
My cousin has just made three early transfers (to add to his 84 for the season the tool) but he has only lost 4points. Am I missing something here?! He made transfers in GW25 and used the WC in 26. Strange.
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=257959
Its not just me is it?
When I said 84 I was exaggerating to get the point home.
You only have his word that he's taken only 4 points. Was he looking at an old tab he hasn't refreshed sicne he made the 3rd transfer? I've been caught out by old tabs before.
Nope. I watched him do it. Must be a glitsch somewhere in the system.
In the rules:
"When playing your wildcard any saved free transfers will be lost, you will be given just 1 free transfer in the following gameweek."
I know umo, thats why its spinning me out.
I saw it with my own eyes. 3transfers - 'This will cost you 4points of your total' warning and then confirmed.
well you will know when you see his history at the start of next week, but I still think there is no way it could only be 4 points deducted if he did make 3 transfers the week afer his WC, if you actually saw the "4 points will be deducted" bit, are you sure that he did WC last week and not the week before?
His mate's history says Wildcards played GW 5 and GW 26.
Was this today? Something very odd then as he didn't even have 2 saved up.
Yup. About 45mins ago. I will definitely be keeping an eye out for his update after the next deadline – They should take 8points off. But then again as they specifically said only 4 they should send him an email or something as it was their cock up. Frankly, I’m a tad shocked by it.
Yeah let me know what happens.
This is one of those weeks where a lot of people are going to get caught in the Double GW trap.
The only team really worthy of heavy investment is Arsenal imo.
I'll throw in a Birmingham defender and maybe Brunt but that will be about the extent of it. Prepare for GW28 I say
My team is exactly how I want it DGW not withstanding.
Actually, I'll get rid of Evatt after this DGW.
I'm down with that.
The injuries have screwed it up, but I won't be taking hits to get a load of dodgy doublers in their place.
Arsenal, Stoke, Newcastle - yes.
No WBA, Birmingham, Wolves. Probably no Spurs.
Only Adam from Blackpool.
I'll be doubling on birm just because they have two dgw. Know I'll not be able to field 11 for 28 unless arse game back on but I think it's worth it. Bentley for me if anyone is interested
Bentley's Gonnna Sort You Out!
Ever since Bentley's moved to Birmingham I can't get this out of my head:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bentley_Rhythm_Ace
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3IWl77o3l50
I'm doubling up on brum defence and tripling up on Ars attack.
If VDV is fit he will play and so will Adam. Odemwingie looks to be a good shout too.
Yeah, maybe not doubling down on B'ham, but I agree.
I reckon RJohnson could easily have 15-20 points this week. I already have Foster too so would be mad not to play him.
The rest of the doubles don't seem good prospects defensively imo, gonna go with Kelly and probably Coleman.
That's probably the way I'll go too.
Rrgghh... Is Terminator Salvation any good? I was expecting Inception, but they're still not sending it out.
yeah, its not bad. better than most stuff ive got from lovefilm.
just had paranormal activity 2 and the expendables delivered.
Not watched them yet? I've had a few good ones, I like most of the ones I've seen. But I'm really looking forward to Inception, and True Grit when it comes out.
no. no it's not, Soop
To be honest, I thought Terminator Salvation was pretty poor. The storyline doesn't make a lot of sense and it just struck me as a cash in. I expected better with Bale in it, but he was pretty rubbish as well.
Nowhere near as good as Inception, unfortunately.
Of course it's a cash in, the fact that they're still making terminator films makes that much obvious. I still found it pretty enjoyable though tbh. Not a bad film imo - definitely worth a watch.
Have to ditch Crainey, Torres and if injured-Djourou and VDV. Who should I get instead?
Was thinking of Tevez, Bent, Carr, Dawson... Someone else?
