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…
any news on rio injury? will he be back for wigan?
If(/when) Chelsea beat Everton in the FA cup replay..is Man U's double DEFINITELY off? Or is there a chance it might go ahead anyway..?
anyone know why chelsea v everton and man city v notts county’s fa cup replays are not being played during this week? just seems strange that the wigan v bolton game is on this wednesday. is it to do with tv coverage? thanks
Chelsea play Fulham tonight and asked (we are assuming) not to play in midweek because of this (and other stuff maybe too, I dunno).
Man City have a Europa League game tomorrow.
and the protection rule is...??? Maybe hint if nothing more.
City are playing in the UEFA Cup on Thursday.
Actually the season calendar has reserved dates for FA Cup ties, they don't just slot in anywhere... so next week is the next FA Cup reserved date, that's all.
C (hris br) UNT
Anyone agree?
Afternoon,
How many peopl have you guys got who arent playing in the next GW? Ive got djourou, Fabs, RVP and Bentley I donr really wanna get rid of any of them but I wil have to... any1 in the same boat? which one woudl you recommend?
Fabs, RVP, Djourou and maybe Adam.
Would be perfect if Adam got through next game without a booking and actually got it against Wolves that week.
I'm playing one short.
I've got Foster, Djourou, Carr, Fabs, VDV and RVP...
I'm doing Fabs to Cahill and playing with 10 this week, then J. Thomas to Fabs GW29.
i thought bout cahill but it will be annoying to get rid of fabs and bring him back in the following week, I was thinking of getting rid of djourou?
My current team for GW28 before any confirmation surrounding Chelsea.
Begovic
Rafael Kelly Luiz Coleman
Nani Adam A Young Brunt
Tevez Berba
Bench - Foster Djourou Walcott RVP
Was thinking of doing Brunt > Nolan but also want to bring in Kolarov but not sure if its worth the hit or who for.
How should I approach this if
a) Chelsea go through
b) Chelsea get knocked out
Wait until next week after the Chelsea / Everton replay and go from there.
anyone have websites to discuss champions league fantasy??
any news about whether etherington will be fit for the next league game, same for vdv actually. Have both in my team with rooney on my bench. hoping for a sub in at the end of the gw.
both probably will be fine for the next game yes
and also no need to rush about the teams theres a crapload of football to go, this gameweek isnt over and a good 12 days to wait before the next deadline
im enjoying doing nothing to my team, kinda trail off at this time of the season
Just had a thought, I'm leaving all my Arsenal players in just in case they actually play.
I'm going to leave them in too, going to keep them all.
I think i'll leave mine in regardless. They look the most likely team to be banging in 4 or 5 at the moment. RVP is hoovering up points. Cesc is on the verge of exploding and Walcott doing pretty well too.
I don't really see many(any) better alternatives myself.
Fabregas is playing brilliant at the moment, as good as he was throughout last season imo. He just can't seem to get the goals, mainly through good goalkeeping unfortunately.
He will explode!!
Having gone from 141,000 to 23,000 in the last 4 weeks I am interested to see how much further back I slip with tonights match and having no one involved. I have 8 DGW's to come after this so it will be a little slip and back up again tomorrow night, but that being said, how many people have Chelsea and Fulham on here? I presume quite alot of casual players still have the likes of Drogba and Malouda and Cole, so I am hoping for a 1-2 with 2 own goals from Fulham, and a goal from Andy Johnson for Fulham
I'd be very surprised if many people in the top 50k have Drogba or Malouda (or A. Cole) - they wouldn't have survived many wildcards imo with so many doublers to choose from, and RVP and Tevez bagging the points.
yeah there wont be much movement in the rankings after today id imagine...
maybe the odd person has fulham leftovers, but doubt many folk have chelsea players
although i did have a dream last week drogba scores 2
ive been hovering just outside top 1k for a while...need to break into it.
well done johnny! i am in a similar position 150,000 - 40,000, that captaining rooney worked wonders eh? I'd take that we also dont want hangeland scoring and/or keeping a CS.
Yup, from GW24 I went from 140k to 23k.
well in mate. good to see you changed your name back. dorrans showed the class he showed all last season on sat.
certainly did, my final punt on Rooney paid dividends in that Villa game, pity he couldn't get the hattrick for the (C)aptaincy. It seems everyone on here is having a great February, long may it continue!
Like you I've had a few good weeks. I'd say if the 'usual suspects' like Malouda, A Cole or Hangeland do anything tonight then most people on here will fall a fair bit. Most of my proper rivals in my £ league cottoned on to the DGW though, so I won't lose ground where it counts. Anything you lose tonight you'd expect to gain back before the end of the GW.
How the hell long is it going to take them to reshedule the Arsenal v Spurs match? Is it the bonus point judges who handle this too?
The PL have very little say in it, really, they'll just rubberstamp the date that Spurs and Arsenal agree. The police (and Sky...) will have more of an input.
rooneys back
36 points from last 5 games including ten bps
my captain next gameweek
after being hacked last week and lose 80 points due to it i need rooney to plug some of this as being my differential in my league as everyone has berba
Apart from the overrated goal on Saturday he was shocking.
The guy is so overrated.
heres a good article on rooney about the very same thing
http://www.football365.com/john_nicholson/0,17033,8746_6751785,00.html
lol, 23x4...ouch!
but it was wildcard...
no it was not 😉
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/tranhist.mc?FPL|transfer_history_cb=340001&id=340001
but when u look at his team it says 1, as in the wildcard
84 point hit!
lol, what were you thinking?
im only guna invest if the double is on.
Don't get confused between fantasy points and form in real life.
Rooney still looks a long way off his best.
lol those transfers are hilarious.. heres my faves
5 Feb 16:16 - Nani (9.6) - Mujangi Bia (4.5) - 27
5 Feb 16:16 - Van Persie (9.9) - Ormerod (4.0) - 27
5 Feb 16:16 - Torres (11.8) - Sidibe (5.0) - 27
Hi everyone. I've had a great month. 10k.
However, I'm scared. I'm worried about what is going to happen. I've got Howard. I've brought in Nolan.
What do you think?
I win, 4k. 😀
tryin' hard to get into the top 1000. HAARD! 8-0
i wanna win 4k 🙁
feb rank= 530 with 9 players to play :p
236 with 10 to play 🙂
F*ck you.
😮
Overall rank more important in my opinion 😉
Absolutely 😉
overal 1534...just pipping u Mike...
with nani on the bench.....stupid bruno mars lookalike
1550 for me Pete. I'm just pipping you but who knows by the end of this week!
we are playing the same team except you have nani and i have lennon and i have djourou instead of kelly.
Yeah we seem to mirror each other a fair bit. I remember a while back having an identical team to you! I'm so gutted about Djourou. I thought he'd only play v Stoke and that Kelly had a better chance of a clean sheet v Wigan 🙁
Christ alive our teams are similar! It all comes down to DJ v Odem in round 2!
it could have been better if u didn't made the schoolboy error of playing coleman/rafa ahead of rj 😉
I'm in the top 100.
Five ways Tottenham
can beat AC Milan.....
1. Niko can Bale out Spurs
If aliens landed on Earth in the
days after Tottenham's victory
over Inter in the group stages,
they'd have thought that Gareth
Bale was a stronger force than
gravity itself, such was the hype.
Yes the Welshman was brilliant in
the two games against the
champions, but he is not the be
and end all of this stylish Spurs
side.
While obviously his loss is a
huge blow, in Niko Kranjcar there
lies a replacement firing on all
cylinders at the moment. The
Croat has scored the two
winning goals in Tottenham's
last two games and is playing
like a man determined to make
an impression after being put in
the shop window in January.
Milan can not afford to think
they have the edge just because
Bale is out of this one.
2. Drop Defoe and play
positively
Not because he's a bad striker,
but because it simply doesn't
make sense to play him from the
off on his own.
At the San Siro, Redknapp surely
has to go for a five-man midfield
with Sandro and Wilson Palacios
both holding down the fort in
the middle and Rafael van der
Vaart linking midfield and attack
while helping himself to the
knockdowns and flick-ons of
either Roman Pavlyuchenko or
Peter Crouch.
Defoe's pace can be well utilised
from the bench, if needed, to test
Alessandro Nesta, while
encouraging Kranjcar and Aaron
Lennon to tuck inside and get to
the byline respectively should
ensure that Milan's midfield
triumvirate have to drop deep
and lose territory.
3. Frustrate and stay close to
Zlatan
The Swede has been stunning
for the Serie A leaders, netting 18
goals (some of them typically
brilliant) this season.
Technically outstanding and
packed with power, the man on
loan from Barcelona must surely
be one of the most difficult
players to mark when on form.
But for all his footballing genius,
Ibrahimovic can often allow the
reckless side of the mind to
overtake the more cerebral.
If he can be forced off his game
through a combination of tight
marking and a denial of service,
he could end up strutting around
like the cocky kid at school who
knows he's great but just won't
muck in when it gets a bit tough.
But even if he is off his game,
William Gallas must get close and
his partner in defence must be
alert to any deft flicks that can
slip through Pato or Robinho.
4. Exploit the absence of Pirlo
and Van Bommel
Neutrals ought to rue the
absence of the brilliant Andrea
Pirlo as much as they should the
underrated genius of Luka
Modric.
A deep-lying playmaker who
possesses a Xavi-like composure
and a Xabi Alonso-like passing
range, there is no direct
replacement for Massimiliano
Allegri to call upon.
Also missing will be winter
recruit – and Tottenham target –
Mark van Bommel, who is
ineligible to play in Europe after
playing for Bayern earlier in the
campaign. The hard-hitting but
often unheralded enforcer will
have fancied his chances against
a Modric-less midfield.
Van der Vaart's natural instinct to
play between the lines of
midfield and defence should, up
against the waning powers of
Gennaro Gattuso and Mathieu
Flamini, open up chances for his
team-mates and an away goal
could swing this one totally in
Tottenham's favour, with Modric
expected to be fully fit for the
return game.
Ouch. That guy who got hacked and has an 84point hit, i feel for you! I think i would stop playing, i would be seriously pissed off!!
Anyway.. if you could hack one persons team on here, who would it be? 😈
a few seasons ago i got hacked. i emailed fpl and they fixed it for me and gave me all my players back. no chance of that these days.
that was nice of them.
Indeed - I just feel there's no point of playing it if you wanna cheat to win... like any game at the end of the day (which is why victory is so great!)
well city are cheatin' but they're not even winning. (cheat - got more money than everyone else).
hopefully some good may come of it eventually, but still feels a bit wrong. 🙁
Well said Merts 😉
But the most pertinent question is, would you prefer to go back a couple of years before the oil money and the pressure of winning?
Katie got hacked? poor guy.
Still, it's not like it's his only team...
Katie? Afraid not, it was this unfortunate soul. http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=340001
Foster. DEF. Simpson Huth Djourou MID. Nolan Fabs Adam Nani FWD. DJ Campell Odem RVP(Cap). Subs Van Der Sar K.Toure Bardsley Ferguson. I took out VDV for Nolan, this GW. 84 ppoints so far with ten players left this GW to play. Maybe Rooney next GW if man-u have a double and Cahill for Nolan. Nine million in the bank, any better ideas?
Would have to be the guy ahead of me in my league, not that I would ever do it.Only if I had too 🙂
i appear to still be in the fantasy cup - anyone else still in it??
i was out long ago, one of my mates in a mini league is still in.... hes getting wiped this week tho. good work on still being in

Tottenham have their fixture with Arsenal as TBC for end of Feb.
Nothing. The game won't happen in gameweek 28. Can we all move on please?
I think he's right, Spurs and Arsenal dont want to play because of the CL. They probably both want it at the end of the season.
because by the time Arsenal beat Leyton Orient 9assuming we do), it'll be too short notice.
And neither side would want a game there, considering both are involved in Champions' league ties the following midweek.
if arsenal draw with orient they will have to sell tickets and make arrangements for that date so they can do exactly the same with the spurs arsenal game, in fact itd be easier as most the tickets would go to season ticket holders
there is a chance it could still be arranged for that date
I very much doubt it. Arsenal - Spurs is considered a big police risk event (or something like that). I think the police would rather wait and see if the game can be played on a weekend, or at least have a bit more time in advance to prepare.
maybe but it can be done
bristol city cardiff is considered high risk and was once organised within 2 weeks
i agree it is doubtful now but it may still happen
people taking arsenal and spurs players out already are a little premature i think
Transfer plan.
gw28 - Berbs out for Tevez (assuming Chelsea beat Everton in FA Cup, bench Arsenal contingent.
gw29 - Kuyt out for T Cahill
Sensible?
when you take a point hit when is it taken off your total
Noo, my mini-green arrow has been cut down to just 3 places now! Think it'll be turning red tonight! 🙁
Seems sesible. Maybe wait till toffees DGW to move on cahill and see if Sir Sicknote Saha is fit 🙂
if the 2 were fit id still pick cahill all day long.
saha too injury prone and inconsistant
dempsey 1-2 or torres 0-2 tonight
Berbs is hit and miss would move on Rooney at the min and rotate him and Tevez accordingly, IMO
Dempsey, no faith in Chelsea and Fulham have lost 1 inthere last 9 games
Won a bet at the weekend 10 fold works out at £850 English Money 🙂 Who fancies a pint?
i'll have a feckign barrel, never mind just a pint!
Congrats. I missed out on just over £200 when West Brom failed to hold onto their 3-0 lead. Starting to think I'll never win an accumulator.
same. boro wrecked me this week and was arsenal last week.
Was all set to bring Begovic in as my 2nd keeper (with Foster), but some people seem to think he's on the verge of being dropped. Is Harper a better bet?
Nope. Think Begovic is still the better choice.
Worst case scenario, he gets dropped, you can straight swap to Sorensen.
Harper is too expensive at 4.5 considering you can get Simpson for 3.9.
Thanks all. Might just stick in that case. Harper's only 4.3, same as Begovic but I see Stoke as the more likely to keep CS.
Will wait and see what the Arsenal game throws up.
Say it isn't so?
My 10 fold sections bet was
Arsenal to beat Wolves
Celtic to beat Dundee United
Hull to beat Preston
Hearts to beat Hamilton
Man United to beat Man City
Shrewsbury to beat Stevenage
Draw Between Blackpool and Villa
Leeds to beat Bristol City
Swansea to beat Middlesbrough
Rochdale to beat Sheffield Wednesday
I've never seen a 10 fold bet come in. I'd normally say it was a daft bet, but bloody well done.
I once had 14 come in on an FA Cup 4th round accie a few years ago. I only put 50p on as that was all I had left in my account but it returned over £800.
How much did you put on?
celtic the sunday game aswell.... brave
So John Terry is no longer 1st choice CB...
Would have loved to see his face when he heard that...
I reckon that's bo**ocks. There's no way he's getting dropped any time soon.
nah just adding a bita competition
nice to see
