Mark Everton put in a miserable shift at the Reebok, drawing scorn from manager David Moyes and casting doubt over the Fantasy interest that will escalate in their squad ahead of a double Gameweek. Foch’s Knee Jerk last night told the tale of Bolton’s 2-0 win but, with the dust settled, here are the Scout Notes on Sunday’s solitary fixture…
Tim Cahill, was my transfer option for this week..! Now, Do i need to rethink?
why?
No. Given also the next GW is in 2 weeks, Saha is also an option. It would all have been different if Cahill had gone scored.
I'll miss you, Ronaldo.
Best striker I have ever seen play, and one of the greatest players ever. Nice hairstyle too.
Anyone worried that Begovic is going to get dropped?
Pulis stated that he was no.1 until he made a mistake and that was a pretty bad mistake this week.
I am, considering I have Foster as alternative GK. If Begovic gets dropped for the second game of the week, I need a replacement for next week to even have a GK.
same. im already taking a hit to field 11. which im not too bothered about.
however if beg doesnt play and adam gets booked it could be a costly week.
I'm not to happy as I wont have a gk next gw and web though I have 2 transfers fielding 10 players is more pressing
Everybody playing UCl just to let you know that u'll have 4 captaincy option so make your team for it.
Listening to Andy Gray on Talksport...
I can't understand a word he's saying. Alan Brazil, a fellow Glaswegian has a clear radio voice and is a good presenter, but not Andy.
Read an australian article on here a few weeks back that slated T.Cahill's performances at the Asian cup. Bit worried he's lost that early/mid season form. Very surprised he didnt slam that 1st half chance home y'day for instance.
As i've learnt to my cost with Brunt this week, a player out of form is a player out of form...regardless of the opposition.
if it werent for the GW28 blanks, i couldnt get rid of Brunt fast enough.
Jack Wilshere telling Arsenal players to be nasty to Barca on Wed. So less talented team resorts to other tactics to win... Hypocrites much?
i only saw what i wanted to see, similar to mr wenger on a number of occasions
foster ; robinson
huth ; rafael ; coleman ; kelly ; walker
fabs ; vdv ; nani ; walcott ; adam
berbs ; odem ; rvp
a)berbs-> tevez (done)
b)fabs-> cahill
what do you think of b) move with a 4 point hit???
I think A) should have waited until you knew if Utd have a DGW,still too late now. If Fabs to Cahill gives 11 players probably worthwhile.
Hey guys, given my squad below, ae there any better options for me that VDV -> Cahill this week?
Foster, Stockdale
Rafael, Coleman, Bosingwa, Djourou, Kelly
Nani, VDV, Fabs, Adam, A Young
Tevez, RVP, Wingie
Bank 0.5m
Thanks
i'm thinking of fabs-cahill (read above)
1st because i will loose much more money in vdv-cahill
2nd if nasri is coming back, i see more players splitting the points in arsenal... for a player costing 12, fabs isn't really compensating me that much..
im keeping fabregas, he offers the easiest route to lampard when chelseas double week/s are announced
Yeah, that's my other option, but I heard rumours that he may get dropped after recent mistakes. Also, potential of Cahill to score massive is greater than Begovic.
I'm with Tosey, Cahill can wait until GW29, you should sort out your Begovic situation as you're on for a guaranteed 0 pointer there. It's not as if Everton are threatening to tear Sunderland apart next game.
Perhaps, but then i'd need to either drop Fabs/Nani or take a points hit to get Cahill in for GW29 ...
any other keepers u could get in for stockdale around that price? i havent looked
None that really appeal. Al Habsi (rubbish fixtures and rubbish team) or Harper & Hennessey who rotate badly with Foster. I'm considering VDV -> Cahill this week (and suck up having no GK in GW28 - will have to take a points hit to field 11 anyway) and then Wingie -> Zigic for the brum double in GW29. Foster's fixtures look ok up to GW32 so will try and gain a few 0.1s by then to get in someone like Gordon. Thoughts?
random question, trying to listen to talksport on my mac but im missing a plug in? 😯 anyone know what to download/how to get around this
random answer: microsoft silverlight perhaps?
Question:
If your captain doesnt play and someone comes off your bench who is your highest value player/best form player. Then would the captaincy go to him or the highest value player/best form player that was in your starting 11?
thanks, thought so. i disagree with that rule.
Tell me about that cause of that rule Cahill was auto captain for a lot and I went down!!!
The emergency captain is the most disagreeable rule in the game. Just have to hope that you profit from it at some point to even out the luck others get.
im pretty sure it doesnt. the same happened with me earlier in the season il check and try to show you
Okay let be it, but how come for my main rival he was third sub, let me repeat 3rd sub and he got him 2 x 13 pts imagine how "skillful" he was.
captaincy should go to a player who you started and didnt bench in my opinion. takes out the element of luck
Yes started player of course. And vice captain is way better option. They want to make it easier for the casual players but how they know to calculate form? Come on?? Vice captain and that is it.
Who is more important to bring in for gw 28 with my free transfer?
A. Tevez for Berbs
B. Tevez for RVP
C. T Cahill for VDV
C for me
if utd play two games.
u do need tevez soon tho.
Do not get rid of RVP.
I'd say (c) given Utd could have a double in GW28 and Cahill has a double in GW29
+1 - he'll be injured soon enough, but till that time hold on to him.
100% A
Probably already been mentioned somewhere, and no doubt a few emails have gone off to FPL towers (dependant on whether or not RBJ had Nani in his team or not) but with all this talk about Rooney having to re-adjust himself because of the deflection on Nani's cross has there been ant talk about Nani's assist for Rooney's shinner being chalked off?
any* (obviously the ants don't give a c**p)
Hello, I would appreciate litlle help for my UCL team.
Does anyone know are Guiata, Bruno and a.Costa nailed on starters for valencia? What about Joaquin?
cheers!
Valencia is minefield. nobody is safe, nobody, check the team before the deadline.
what would u expect to score highest
rooney @ wigan/liverpool
tevez @ FULHAM/WIGAN -4pts
anyone else going without messi in their ucl team ?
be my guest
I am. I don't think he will do much away to Arsenal, but I will no doubt live to regret it when he destroys them. I might try to bring him in the for the home time though depending on the outcomeof the first leg.
no. that would be mental!
I went without CR7. First I was with both of them but the rest of the squad was awful. So very hard I choose to sell CR7. The most of the players will have Messi (c) so potential good game from him will do huge damage. Everybody needs him IMO never mind if he doesn't score, but the potential is huge.
To Tosey (ran out of space above)
Agree on (c), - also gives extra 0.2m to upgrade Stockdale in GW32.
Updated plan (which will no doubt change by tomorrwo) looking like
GW28: Fabs -> Cahill
GW29: Bosingwa -> R Johnson
GW30: Adam -> Walcott
GW31: Wingie -> Zamora (if fit)
GW32: Stockdale -> Gordon
Any major flaws there?
no chelsea
they're probably going to have 2 double gameweeks coming up, they also have nice fixtures in a few weeks. although theyve been poor lately you cant ignore the likes of cole lampard and torres for 2 double gameweeks
My che coverage will be Lamps and Luiz. I hardly wait to bring him in, it feels so strange whole season without him. Hoping next year for him to be around 10m.
Hmm, good point. Problem is who to drop? Hard to drop RVP or Tevez and not enough $ for Torres as the 3rd striker.
As for Lampard - he needs to show form before i get involved and also causes $ issues in mid if i dump fabs.
I quite like the idea of Alex/Luiz when fit and we know who the first choice chelsea defence is...perhaps delay stockdale (again) and do Kelly -> Alex/Luiz in GW32?
On that note, anyone know the likely Chelsea back 4? Cole, Terry, Alex, Luiz?
i expect rotation, carlo said even terry may be rotated, cole is the only certainty it would seem
Zamora...???
Transfer on a goalie..???
Bos still in your squad???
Selling Adam..???
Sorry mate but I don't like your plan.
1) Fulham food fixtures GW31 & GW33 and he is their main man when fit.
2) Stockdale is out for season i imagine - guess i could just stick with Foster every week and use the transfer elsewhere...
3) Agreed - he needs to go.
4) Fixtures toughen and Blackpool struggling.
What would you do instead?
Goodbye original Ronaldo, you have given us many good memories not least the United hattrick! Top striker, maybe the best of this generation.
Has he retired/got injured? Knew he was retiring some time soon. Without doubt the best striker since I started watching football, he completely changed what it meant to be a striker. His season at Barca in 97/98 was magical, probably even more unstoppable than Messi is. Who knows what he would have done if he hadn't started getting horrendous injuries at the age of about 21.
A phenomenon.
i might captain huth this gameweek. west brom are in terrible form and look incapable of defending set pieces
I think there won't be a CS, u'll have to hope for a goal.
westbrom yet to score against stoke in the pl 😉
west brom not scored in their last 4 away games
stoke 2 clean sheets in last 3 home games
that kind of stats are invented to be broken
Hi Guys,
Why would Chelsea beating Everton effect Man Utd’s double when it’s a mid week game?
Cause Roman wants to see Man utd in live. He can not be at both places at the same time.
Seriously, I'd like to know myself.
i think they would then play their next FA round on that very date, cancelling chelsea/utd
If Chelsea win, then there 5th round FA Cup v Reading tie will be played March 1st/2nd, hence because cup matches that precedence over league matches the Man Utd v Chelsea match will need to be re-scheduled.
Because Chelsea's 5th round game would probably take place when they would have played Man Utd. (Their game against Everton is on 5th round day but is a 4th round replay.)
Gotcha... so any talk about getting in MU players for their DGW could be completely pointless? You have to fancy Chelsea against Everton right now.
not doing anything til its confirmed though. already have nani and berbs. may bring in rooney if everton finds a way to beat chelsea. could be a huge advantage to have 3 DGWers while everyone is scrambling just to field XI.
bloke at work in my mini league: "62point and 11 still to play"
me: ah but looking at your team you have 8 not playing next gw!
WILDCARD FAIL
not really
i knew id be short this week when i did my wildcard
i prefer to look at the 27-29 as a group
with no hits id have
gwk27: 11, 9 doublers
gwk28: 8
gwk29: 11, 6 doublers
although ill get a poor score this week i think over the three weeks ill do fine
Tosey, are you going into gw 28 with less than 11 starting then?
Im assuming your not taking any hits.
i think u only have 5 doublers for gameweek 29 with no hits... i could b wrong as just took a quick look @ ur team, 3 birm, 2 eve?
Tosey I agree with your logic, 6 DWG's for GW29 will certainly allow you time to catch up, assuming you dont get a really low score in GW28. The only downside is that in GW29 you will have all your DGW's playing in the same match.
I Also think some players from teams that don't have a double gw in gw29 might score better than the players involved in double gw.
eg Ars vs Sun
ManC vs Wigan
Chelsea vs blackpool
Spurs vs Wolves
ture altho having saha/cahill versus 3 brum defenders means i will probably profit one way or the other
tosey - who are you capt gw28?
GW29 might be nice, but then stuck with three brum and three everton. could hurt in the following GWs as you cant transfer them all out at once, unless you still have a WC.
see above, the 3 brum are here to stay and teh everton ones are aswell until gwk33/34
i saw, i just respectfully disagree in that kind of investment. 6 players from two teams 3 points from relegation zone. all or nothing in brum defence. too dangerous for me.
maybe, the lad whos top of my league and 16th in the world had 3 brum def's for the majority of teh season, they do tend to keep a lot of cleanies and mcgleish said a few weeks ago they needed to focus on tightening up at the back again which caught my eye
its a gamble but makes it more interesting
your logic would make sense if you had 3 man utd players(with possible dgw) to make up for the players missing gw28
i am very confident everton wont win at chelsea in the cup
if they do then utds double wont be the easiest anyway with 2 away games followed by liverpool away after
also if everton do win i wont be that disappointed as i (stupidly) have a bet on everton to win the cup
that game wont be one id say, alot of ppl would have planned for no double in 28
To the Man U fans out there....
any idea if Rafael is now 2nd choice to O'Shea?
i reckon just needed some extra height in there, when you see rooney marking lescott for corners i think it showed the size dif in the teams! if lescott was still @ everton it would prob have been vidic marking him @ set pieces, rafael should start the majority of games
Any idea how I can bring in Tevez for gw28? Berbs out?
Or should I take advice on this site and replace VDV first?
Freidel (Foster)
Coleman, Rafael, Hughes, Bardsley (Djourou)
Kuyt, Nani, Adam, VDV (Walcott)
Varney, Berbs (RVP)
Some tactical observations and passing stats on the bolton v everton game yesterday.......
http://theexecutionersbong.wordpress.com/2011/02/14/bolton-2-0-everton/
a few people mention captaining Huth next week...personally i will be going with Tevez or Nani (if dgw)
dont trust captaining a defender...esp if defending a lead.
i was talking to an everton fan friend of mine and he really dislikes tim cahill. is this a common amongst everton fans?!
Yes they all hate him.
