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…
Would it be worth it to leave a transfer this week, leaving 10 players, for 2 free transfers (which i would need) for gw29?
I was moved to hear that our own Ronaldo will not play more proffessional football. The best brazilian striker in modern football, there is not much to say really, the stats and achivements speaks for themselves.
But I was always angry about all the critical voices about his private life and lack of fitness, especially in the national press. Ok, he made some wrong steps, gained some kilos and enjoyed his life, but from being a shy boy playing his football in the shanty town streets of Nothing Hill, to being top of the world, in just a few years, is a gap that any young mind would struggle to cope with. He managed his new life better than many others, and he kept banging in the goals wherever he was, wether he was hailed and worshipped or branded a fat overpaid flop, he just kept scoring goals. And that is how I will remember him.
Always loved, always my number one footballer. Rest your boots in peace Ronaldo
Guys,
Bearing in mind I can theroetically only have 10 players max on the field for the forthcoming GW28...and with VDV injured (his value will only go down).
I'm thinking an 8pt hit for the upcoming week!!! This will leave me with exactly 0 in the bank...I know it's early but I may miss the boat otherwise....they will rise/fall to much!!!
Djourou replaced by Kolarov
Van der Vaart replaced by Meireles
Odemwingie replaced by Tevez
Your views will be appreciated!
Also Adam may get another booking and be suspended
🙁
Wait and see what happens before making any decisions.
Personally, in a week when there are going to be many in the same boat, i am not sure that an 8 point hit is the way forward.
Getting in Tevez would be my prioty.
Yep...I think I'll get just Tevez and sit on the other two for now...
any predictions on a saviour/consistent points player from a relegation threatened team?
There's always one who rakes it in. Zarate and tevez spring to mind in recent years
Got lost on bottom of last page / no-one could be bothered to do it but could someone greasemonkey my team please? Haven't got firefox so would be a lot easier if someone could do it! 😀
atleast better than mine 🙁
my captaincy record is around 42%.
Ive a nice 58% 8)
Can you do mine too please. I reckon with better (c) choices I'd be much higher. Bench the last two weeks has been bad too!
# (c)=159/326 48.7% Bench=257 16.8%
Thanks, and oh dear!!
With 60% choiuces I'd have another 35 points
And ALOT of points on the bench too!
it started off well tbh, the captain percentage almost made 70% as it was goign through the gameweeks
then a steady normal decline!
pretty average all round for everyone really
Could somebody do mine too please - I'm not expecting much tbh 😳
if he has to be french, i prefer jean reno
if you love your dog watch hatchi on sky premiere very moving film strictly for dog lovers though
Film called Armored on mine.
Rooney and Rivaldo currently neck and neck in our Overhead kick poll...with a staggering 3 votes each! Someone pop on and decide the winner 🙂
http://elmasqueunblog.blogspot.com/
voted rivaldo, tho i never fancied him much
what goal did you vote for?
Rivaldos was way better, rooneys got a bit of a shinner, rivaldo hit that full on from outside the friggin box
epic
Good article Si, I went for Rivaldo myself. Peach of a goal. 🙂
Just been to see True Grit, really good film I highly recommend it.
I really hope Adam can avoid a yellow card in his next game but get one in gw38. Would mean I have no regrets to get rid of him!
After the weekend do people think Kolarov is still nailed on up front in City's new formation, after SWP impressed when he came on for him? Dzeko and Balotelli must be close to starting with Tevez in a 2 up front any game now as well surely? Where would that leave Kolarov - I don't think Mancini trusts him at left back.
I think he will be ok for the next game on the back of his last home game and deadly deliveries. Making John O'Shea look like Usain Bolt does not make him an ideal winger though. Or full-back.
o shea had a fantastic game didnt he though
i think mancini will go a long way to keep his set piece abilities in the team and i fancy him to keep his place either at the flank or at left back at least in the two coming home games
What's this greasemonkey script people are on about
Here's my team....any good?
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/entryhist.mc?id=236
# (c)=181/296 61.1% Bench=226 15%
very good captaincy record...
Best than most mate.

which teams will keep cleanies for UCL!!!!!!!!!
just look on a betting site like Paddy Power for some hints
http://www.paddypower.com/football/football-matches/champions-league?ev_oc_grp_ids=9547
Valencia, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Man Utd are the strongest tips, imho. All are well organized defensively and playing weaker opponents.
ps -- Barcelona have the best defensive record in all European competitions this year, but it's hard to imagine them not being pressed by RvP, Fabregas, Walcott in form, Nasri on return, and a very strong strikers off the bench. Will be a fascinating game.
Anyone betting on the match tonight?
Barcelona and Sunderland failing on Saturday mean I have no money to gamble away. 🙁
I guess you were abit too confident with Sunderland. Looked good for a while but class told in the end.
Nice, no bets for me as I'll be at work & won't be watching live.
Cahill 99% to rise.
Fabs out, Cahill in.
Smart to get him now? have to get rid of a blank, cahill extremely likely to rise a 2nd time before deadline.
Dumb to get him now? Cahill get injured, wasted transfer. Too much can happen in 11 days.
Cahill may not rise, Cahill may get injured, is money that tight now?
Dumb move IMO. Yes he will go up but hey as most now its not about the money anymore. With so long anything can happen in training etc...
I will be doing same transfer but waiting till day before next GW.
i would wait got chelsea in the cup on Sat...
Best 5.6mil defender til the end of season??
Who've you got already?
coleman, ivanovic, Evra > 5.6mil, Walker, Kelly
Huth maybe? I would say Rafael but I think he's at £5.7m. Kolarov is the same and it is always difficult to know whether he will play on wing or in defence.
Of course at the mo R Johnson might be worth it with the other DGW coming up.
yeah kolarov an rafael were the two obvious 1's but 0.1 short... rafael will hopefully drop due to starts!
I thought they were midfielders?
nah defenders!
No I was reponding to Boom not you on that one.
Boom!!! is abnormal.
You have me covered. Just answer the question properly next time.
Am looking forward to the next round of the Champion's League.
RMT please:
Casillas - Guaita
Thiago Silva - Vidić - Arbeloa - Ivanović - Djourou
Pablo Hernández - Schweinsteiger - Stepanenko - Nani - Xavi Hernández
Gomez - Ibrahimović - Cristiano Ronaldo
Am tipping Milan to pip Tottenham this round. Thiago Silva will be playing OOP as a midfielder. Am tipping Valencia to win easily at home over Schalke. Chelsea should easily see of Copenhagen in both rounds. Real should demolish Lyon (with CR9 as the ideal captain on the second-last day). Man U should walk all over Marseille.
Would get Smalling if Man U weren't playing on the last day. Wish I could fit in Messi and CR9. Any golden insights to add to these? Any obvious bargains I've missed?
arbeloa-rotation risk
choose one of gomez and tiger.
why djourou 😕
Djourou as insurance in case Arsenal have a good game. And he's underpriced. Can't find a better option for the price (have 0.1 left in the bank).
there will always be better options than a defender against barca though. I don't think they ever go a game without scoring.
Am tempted by a Roma defender instead, though am a touch short on cash. And you're right that Barcelona have been phenomenal at scoring recently, though I'm also expecting a rough, somewhat dirty game against Arsenal. Maybe even a sending off or two. Djourou is a big gamble; my worst selection, I think.
an expensive defender gets you 6 if things go right...
Messi could get you 20 and is good Capt option
Wish I could afford Messi! My gamble is to go for CR9 over Messi and hope that Arsenal are more robust than Lyon. Thanks for feedback and good luck to you!
my advice/strategy...
go heavy on players playing in the 1st day because at least you can confirm that they are playing before deadline
play lots of cheap defenders...if they don't keep a clean swap them for offensive players playing later...you can play with as little as 2 defenders I think...if you can nick 2 lucky clean sheets that's all you need
have 1 good Capt option for each day so you can cycle through them...one of 4 is bound to get some points
That's great advice. Is essential to play rotating captains with a strong view to fixtures. My captains work out to be Ibrahimović - Xavi - Ronaldo - Nani. Am hoping at least one of them comes good. I'm taking the chance of getting some slightly pricier defenders from good teams that will make it through to the final rounds, in the hope that I get points and gain from price increases without needing to do transfers out. Your strategy may be better -- front loading. Last year was top 1000 and am hoping to better that this year. We'll see!!
yes, the Fantasy CL this year is more like the Fantasy WC this summer...sub out players/Capt each day for big guns waiting on the bench...I'm at 1400 now so it's working pretty well
Yeah, it is like the summer WC game. This year there are more prices rises in the Champion's League game and there's less money to splash around. Could make it very interesting if the fancied teams make it through to the final rounds. Your strategy is obviously working out. I hope it comes good for you tomorrow.
DMCQT- found this in setting up my team, don't remember the source but it's mainstream and current
"while Taras Stepanenko is a doubt because of a knee injury"
I just don't know if Smalling will start or I would take him as my "cheap defender". Cheap defender has to start and get lucky.
would love a 24 hour freeze button on transfer confirm button ,done djourou to huth last sunday night one thing led to another ,finished up with an 8 point hit ,lesson learnt no more early transfers cahill going up but he can wait till week on saturday ,0.1 or0.2 not worth the anguish.
I thought this place would be busier tonight. Surely nobody that uses this site has a girlfriend / wife 🙂
