Here’s the usual heads-up to remind all of the early risers that the Saturday Surgery is once again open for those seeking answers to questions in the final minutes before another gameweek deadline closes.
With a mixed bag on the horizon -ranging from blank fixtures for some, to double headers for others – there’s plenty to consider in the last 90 minutes or so. – hence the opening of the chatroom for those searching for a quick-fire yay or nay to any given dilemma.
Hooray - made it to lockout with making a trade. Almost makes me sound like a trading junkie! Now I can use two in the next GW - must get my fix.
lef tit on lamps. come on you fat bastard!!! 🙂
Took a completely unnecessary 8 pointer. Coleman, Arshavin, VDV and Berbatov out - Terry, Lampard, Walcott and Welbeck in. Feels great.
Sounds necessary to me, Gargs ... 🙂
goal vdv 😉
He should get back to form soon. I have my best 11 of the season out this week and no hits aswell. Watch it barely get 35 points now 😉
Double no thank you.
I just know Terry will get a goal this gameweek. I can feel it.
Let us all pray that your feelings are fecked - except my father-in-law, who has him ... 😉
So you get rid of Arshavin - I'll allow that, and then you don't get Wilshere? Judas!
Ahhh I should have gone with Wilshere and Gyan instead of Walcott and Welbeck. Rookie mistake.
I was very very close to buy Wilshere a couple of weeks ago but completely forgot about him this time.
Ridiculous flair do you mean?
50 quid says that he'll be the top scoring midfielder under 5.0 over the course of this week and the last.
is he under 5??
that's what i thought :S
Fine, 5.0 or under....
He was when I bought him. Obviously when a high profile manager like myself does so, then people inevitably follow, hence the subsequent price rises.
haha. But your bet just lost spectacularly.
don't worry, you can pay me in 1000 years
It's just a shame that the numbers on FPL don't back it up at all. The majority of his transfers, at least working towards the first price rise, came before I got him in, and now people are obviously bringing him in because of the double.
I do like the idea that thousands of people did it because I did, but it definitely isn't the reality. 😉
to be fair, what other options were there at less than 5 (when you bought him)
I accept your bet, and have it bookmarked!
Here is my team lads:
Foster,
Carr, Coleman, Luiz
Adam, Malouda, Nasri,, A.Young
RVP (C), Carroll, Droggy
Begovic, Nani, Smalling, Huthn
Bottled bringing in Lamps and Anelka....Cue Frank Lampard Hat Trick!!!
God I hope so.
😉
Have 6 of those 11.
Good luck matey!
Cheers Tin....Cmon DROGGGGY - must outscore Fat Frank
Why the heck did Chelsea buy Torres? Only caused FF managers more headache. No consideration from Roman!
When there's no one really to feed Torres why did anyone think he'd be able to score goals to excess?
For those of you who are interested, I continually refreshed the world number 1's page and it seems like he never made a transfer this week. No Lampard or RVP. Most likely Nani as captain.
Therefore, according to the basic physics of this game - Lampard and RVP will do bugger all this week. Because actual player performance is directly linked to the players in his team.
very much doubt he captained nani
He never made a transfer, so his only other options are Luiz, Ivonavic, Rooney and Nasri (? - can't remember of he has Nasri or not). That's why I said most likely Nani as (c).
All speculation though - maybe the game gave him a third w/c?
(that last line was sarcastic - before I get verbally abused)
I heard he is in possession of a time machine.
This gameweek is going to be massive!
You know, it could be a massive let down
Was going to captain Malouda but lost my bottle!
Berba->Drogba and Gyan->DJ for a 4 pt. hit three minutes before lockdown.Hope it turns out an inspired move.
come on droggy make me proud like you did last season
Who takes the Penalties, Free Kicks and Corners for Chelsea?
Not sure if its Fat Frank or the Drogmeister?
Pens is Lampard, he usually takes corners and some free kicks.
frank, luiz and malouda... eggs and a basket n that.
Everyone... Who did you captain?
Yep RVP,almost tempted at a flier with Luiz but paniced.
RVP but was deliberating over Malouda.
Hope my rival has kept Rooney but I think he's brought in RVP and given him the band.
25 point lead over him so this is going to be a nervous day in other areas - he has Suarez over my Torres, Carroll over my DJ.
My head was RVP, my gut was Lampard. I've had a dodgy gut this morning so RVP it was
I WANT TO KNOW WHAT MY RIVAL HAS DONE NOW!!!!!
NOT IN 40 MINS!!!!
🙠ðŸ™
My definition of FPL Hell:
Newcastle United 0-6 Manchester United (Nani 3 (all assisted by Rooney) Rooney 3 (all assisted by Nani)
oh i'd love that
The Newcastle v United game is my big "worry" - I've got no players this Tuesday so my ranking will go down that night... it's just a matter of how much.
you have no utd???
I only have Rafael - is he likely to play?
Nor have I. Feeling nervous about binning Nani.
Also binned Nani today.
My Tuesday is going to be hell if he does something!Better pre warn the wife!
Likewise here, but with vdv. However don't want any of his potential points against us anyway. Come on you gooners.
I couldnt bring myself to lose him as I knew id want him for Everton at home again.
Yup, but my season is over so I'm going catastrophe bound on the off chance I hit that 1% sweet spot and make a miracle recovery.
From a "logical" viewpoint I shan't captain Nani again this season -United will have won the league by BPL I think, so god knows what team that'll be- so he's less of a threat. Still a threat, of course, but it mutes his damage.
It's pretty much Hell full stop, isn't it??? 🙂
Would love that 😀
Watch Rooney do nothing after killing me for 4 weeks.
The little arseface ALWAYS scores against us though. The hateful little shitter.
The Nani selling mass hysteria is a bit odd, isn't it?
selling nani is a bit odd
Well the reason I sold him is pretty simple. I don't think he will start against Newcastle and I have to catch up a 75 point lead. I wont do that without making some big calls, they all have Nani and I'd be suprised to see any of them sell him.
i am surprised at some people's lack of utd coverage
It's not about coverage, it's about having the right players. No point in having Man Utd 'coverage' if that coverage is Fletcher and Oshea.
f*ck me 😀
well some things can remain left unsaid haha
I'll try and bring him back at some point but the Malouda DGW swung it for me and enabled me to use only 1 transfer.
Joe Hart in my team is now a thorn in my paw though.
Left the captaincy on Drogba over Lamps/RVP, purely cos I know my rival will captain Drogba (and doesn't have the other two) so I wanted to nullify the threat.
Protecting a 60 point lead so I hope that was the right decision.
Soooooooooooo hoping Droggy + Malouda outscore Lamps and Anelka...
It it bad to just start matching your rivals team.
I wanted to do it this week but felt like I was cheating in some way.
Stupid I know.
Forward Thinking deadline in 75 minutes I think guys, for those who have not done it yet.
i'd imagine everyone will be getting on Ba, Beckford and Phillips this week
I hope mine's done - I can't raise ab! 🙂
I've gone for RVP, Suarez and Ameobi.
First Saturday off in months. Sun is shining. Fitbaw is on, wife and kids are out, Matthew Upson to score a brace. Quality times.
I will obviously be delighted if that comes about - but you will forgive me for not holding my breath ... 😉
The more the merrier Cheggers - but the same rules apply!!! 😀
Remember this tune?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsyDWtzfA7k
Can't say I blame you pal, I've not stuck my house on it or anything. Should have captained him tho. Losing my bottle 🙂
Brilliant! Avram might ... 😉
ooh i didn't think duplicate posts went through! spooky
Anyone on the now traditional Nicky Maynard anytime scorer bet? 🙂
Certainly not! ðŸ˜
No idea what transfers to make in the Facebook game this week(two weekly transfers),team is so perfectly set up:
Foster,
Coleman,Luiz,RJ,
Nani,Nasri,Lamps(C),Adam,
Rooney,Bent,RVP.
Subs: Brunt,Vidic,Bardsley.
Maybe I should do the same two transfers I did in the official game:Drogba and DJ IN?But instead of Berba and Gyan,I'll have to sell Rooney and Bent.Or should I leave it as it is?
I'm playing this version as well.
Foster
Luiz/Djourou/Carr/Coleman
Lamps (c)/Gardner/Nani/Nasri
RVP/Torres
Really looking forward to el clasico tonight. U guys all watching? Anyone thing Madrid could win?
I don't think they have a chance of getting anything.
Why did Mourinho have his little silent strop in the press conference?
What happened?
Don't know really, but he thinks the press would exaggerate everything he'd say anyway and just wanted to send his #2.
I don't blame him really, the journalists have gotten themselves into that situation by making a storm in a teacup(?) of everything every fairly big manager has ever said for the last 15+ years.
He was fed up with the Spanish media blowing his words out of proportion.
They all f***ed off after a bit anyway! LOL
Yeah, I think they could. We will see when we get lineups how they look though, I have a feeling neither coach will want to show all their tricks and risk everything for this match. The league is over anyway.
Barca are the best price u could get them all season. Can't see Madrid stopping them
apprently swp drives a 2 tone rolls royce phantom
can you actually imagine how much of a COCK he must look
I've been given some pretty serious teams in that Forward Thinking game. Thomas Cleverley featuring in most of them. 8)
Bah! I meant Player Manager... You know, that game they were promoted on here a while back. It's good fun. Cleverley is in there to allow me to spend over half my budget on RVP. 😉
U take another 12 point hit this week?
Eh?
Foster
Luiz/Djourou/Carr
Nani/Adam/Fabregas/Barton/Lampard
RVP (c)/Suarez
Bench: Begovic/Zigic/Walker/Coleman
Took the view that Zigic won't play today so isn't classified as a DGW'er so to the bench he went.
I cannot wait for FPL to update so I can shift him out. Worse than Boselli!!!
