Paul Carlos Tevez takes a break. Cesc Fabregas is fit and may feature in Arsenal’s weekend friendly. Steve Kean finally signs a striker, though may see his skipper depart for North London. Alan Pardew is determined to freeze out Joey Barton and Joe Cole’s name blinks on the QPR radar. Here’s this morning’s Scribbles, folks:
looking to downgrade malouda to yossi so i can fit silva into my squad and have both city/chelsea coverage. thoughts?
Yossi has a good chance of playing but who knows, I'd say if they don't sign modric then he has a 70% chance of starting
tosey, you gonna be trebling up in def again this year? 😀
Note the comments at the end of the article.
Because there crap at defending!!!!!
A!!!!!
Yes A, I don't think that Toure is worth that much, his price was obviously much better last year and even then he was never really a "must have"...wait and see how the remainder of the transfer window for Chelsea goes with Benayoun. If they don't get anyone in, I think he could be a great choice.
Hey lads, i was just wondering whether anyone knew of a keeper with good rotating fixtures with Given. Cheers
Begovic and Given never both have an away game!!!!!
As I understand it, Given would rotate best with a GK from Stoke, then (tied) Norwich or West Brom. However, it all depends if you truly want to sit Given during away matches, which many on this site would probably advise against. So, if you're only looking to replace Given for a game here and there against the top 4-6 sides, then you've got more options than the ones I've mentioned above.
Kenny for the first 9 or so weeks, deps when you play your wildcard.
will De Gea start first week?
Yeah!!!!!
More thoughts on torres please guys??
He was Carra's bit on the side!
He is a big girl!
lool, but in FPL terms this season, can torres be as good as he was a few seasons ago at liverpool?
the only way is up
He cant get any worse!......but back to the Liverpool days I’m not convinced.
What ua think of my team guys:
Given
Baines, Jose Enrique, Chris Samba
Moses, Young (manu), N'Zogbia, Taarabt, Silva (city)
Van Persie, Suarez
Subs : Ruddy, De Laet, Beattie, Smpson
why does it have to rain every f*cking day 😡
modric to chelsea would make life so much easier for fpl.
yep - dont want chelsea attcking cover for gw1 but will my first transfer will be that way inclined.
modric means i dont have to keep a little cash in the bank
Not convinced if I'm honest.
Three goals and three assists for each of the last two seasons isn't great. He actually plays in a fairly deep role and certainly wouldn't be part of the front three for Chelsea.
I can only see his arrival making things less clear in the Chelsea midfield.
is kelly set to start for fulham?
Soooo....
Which 2 of Lamps, Rooney & RVP?
(I'm thinking Holt or Hoolahan in place of the 3rd...)
Thankslots
Rooney & RVP.
new team!!
given/ruddy
clichy/kompany/hughes/gabbidon/simpson
kuyt/malouda/pennant/n'zogbia/moses
caroll/balotelli/zamora
took out rvp on the basis Caroll will play every game and hopefully score goals.
1m in bank to upgrade subs
ballotellingya he's not a good idea.
Just wondering about this:
Last year Lampard was the most expensive MF in the game. It is the same this year. He's price has not gone up like most other players so the money you save on not having Lampard doesn't stretch as far making another reason to choose Fat Frank.
I may just be trying to convince myself but he's not moving from my team.
carroll or suarez for the first few? i want suarez but it would be a mini disastor if he didn't play gw1.
and hows downings place looking? wouldn't mind him either
Get Carroll then, no point taking a risk on a 10m player in the first week in my opinion. You wouldn't do it if you were using your wildcard, so no point doing it now.
I'd imagine that Downing will start, I dabbled with him, not sure if he is worth 8.5 though.
currently:
al-habsi, given
kompany, de laet, enrique, samba, brown
malouda, nzog, taarabt, o'hara, ramsey/6.5?
rooney, rodallega, carroll/suarez?
suggestions welcomed 🙂
need to get some city attacking coverage i think, preferably silva, but can't fit him in.
i wouldnt risk Malouda for GW1 (Stoke away is notoriously difficult) - wait and see how they line up
Not too sure on Ramsey/Ohara - what about Duff?
Enrique will be good but not sure he will make the first game
no way duff, too many other fulham attacking options to potentially take pts. i.e. dempsey/zamora. but yeah, i'm thinking of just going silva week 1 and wait on chelsea as stoke is tough away and we don't know how they'll set up yet. wouldn't it be nice if he adopted carlo's fri. press conference/team sheet?
Stoke team v Hajduk Split:
Begovic, Huth, Woodgate, Shawcross, Wilson, Whelan, Whitehead, Pennant, Etherington, Walters, Jones
Ah, so no Wilkinson... inter-esting...
Interesting team Demi. Huth back at right back....
What was score in first leg? or is this it??
no delap. i might watch it 😉
I heard Woodgate got injured when the team was announced.
The shock of it all probably! 🙂
Hey guys I am setting up a MONEY LEAGUE.
£20 entry, maximum applicants 30 people.
Prize money is as follows:
1st: £250
2nd: £150
3rd:£75
4th: £50
5th: £25
To enter you must make a payment of £20.00 to phil_white08@hotmail.com through paypal and send me an email with your name, paypal name so I can confirm your payment and your team name. I will then email you back with the code to join the league.
(NB. The prizes don't add up to £600 as Paypal charges 3.4% on receipt and on paying people their winnings plus £0.20 per transaction)
Any questions just let me know.
people would have to be very trusting just to ping £20 to someone they don't know!
Or stupid. I'm pretty stupid so i might just do it.
How do I know I can trust you?
I am genuine honest! How can I show that I am?
Post your bank details on the website, or send everyone that enters £20.
What is your motivation to set up this league?
I can send the money through Western Union or Moneygram if you don't have a bank account?
http://www.419eater.com/
Why is there a maximum of 30 people?
because otherwise there will be too many people in the league.
Is it a head to head league? If not, surely there is no maximum and the more players, the bigger the prize pot.
I dont want the league to be too big. 30 is enough.
If I was trying to con you surely i wouldn't have put a cap on the league.
So is anyone interested?
I am very interested and I love a gamble but the risk is too high that you will just not pay out when I beat you.
We need the money to be held by a trusted third party somehow.
Only one question.
Are you serious???!!!!
If there was a way to know you're legit I'd be in but since I can't think of a way to know that....
sell 'entrys' on ur ebay account, then there is a definet trace of the transactions and ur ebay rating proves ur a TOP BLOKE!
Done. Email on its way.
Are any of the Euro games being televised tonight?
Anyone with Holt worried about this?
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2022410/Norwich-prepare-sell-Grant-Holt-Leicester.html
That would eff me up BIG TIME! £2m is a joke - he's gotta be worth more than that surely?
go on sven!!!
Great, back to square one.
I haven't seen any RMTs yet so here's one;
de Gea (Al-Habsi)
Kompany, Samba, Alcaraz (Jagielka, Jose Enrique)
Taarabt, N'Zogbia, Silva, Malouda (Dyer)
Rodallega, Van Persie, Holt
What do you think?
Good team apart from I would downgrade De Gea to Given and upgrade Dyer to Sinclair!!!!!
First tema I hav seen with De Gea init?
Have you something against Given, I am surprised they have let you post on here without having Given 😉
Oh, you have redeemed yourself with Holt.
If you want my opion...
* Never have a Wigan def
* Too early for RVP
* Fwds a little to light weight.
Too early for Robin Van to rip Newcastle into shreds? Don't agree with that one.
My team!!!!!
Robinson Al-Habsi
Kompany Hughes Gibbs Simpson Bardsley
Malouda Tarrabt Sinclair Sessegnon O'Hara
Van Persie Bent Rodallega
2 Questions that are really bothering me:
1) Is there a goalie that rotates well with Robinson???
2) I have 0.5 left - who should I upgrade???
What formation do you plan on playing most weeks? You should downgrade one of your midfielders to improve on another in my opinion. I think Gibbs is an interesting choice for a punt as he is quite good going forward... but surely you should be looking at Enrique if his move goes through?
I thought that looked as cheap a midfield as you could want.
I am looking to play a 3-4-3 formation most weeks!!!!! I am going to swap Enrique for Gibbs if the deal does go through!!!!!
Ok!!!!!
You don't have to spend every penny,otherwise changing later can be more difficult,even lead to hits. Having said that I hate the look of the keeper combo.
team:
hart ruddy
kompany-lescott-A cole-Luiz-Ivanovich
moses-dyer-taarabt-hoolahan-sess
RVP-Bent-Holt
0 in bank -
its 3+3 city/chelsea defence - fill in nailed starters, and a 4.0guy -here ruddy.
Both chelsea and manC will keep the clean sheet in half of their matches.
fill in the midfield with all the cheap goodguys
leaves 27-30 bucks to use on decent strikers.
yeh?
defence should average around 20points per game, maybe more
midfield 12
forwards 14
putting in a captain there and adding some bonuspoints and you're scoring 50-60 points per game,
and thats where we want to be:)
calc.exe tells me that 55points*38gws is 2090.
And with some clever transfermoves and double-gameweek planning
we'll get some 50-100 points further. reaching for 2200
Q: heavy defence + cheap-o mids + normal attackers = ..... ?
just wait till man city play chelsea...
but its an intresting theory. but its abit to risky for me
That is the worst/riskiest midfield I have seen on this website. I think you could end up rueing your decision to invest so heavily on your defence. If City concede just 1 goal, your potential to do well decreases very dramatically and you have few good captaincy choices in my opinion.
Are people with Given and Ruddy thinking of it as a keeper rotation? I think I'd basically end up playing Given every game because I'll never fancy Norwich for a CS.
Bearing that in mind I'm thinking of going b) instead of a)
a) Given + Ruddy + A.Cole
b) Cech + Ruddy + Dunne/Collins + 0.5M
Because Cech outscores A.Cole every season anyway AND is set to benefit more from the new bonus system (i think).
Thoughts on this plan?
Sorry yeah I was thinking Warnock but posting Dunne/Collins apparantly.
Anyone else on the Stephen Ireland bandwagon?
Van Persie or Rooney
RvP
RMT plz.
Ruddy Given
Hughes Kompany Simpson De Laet Huth
VDV N'Zogbia Moses Silva Taarabt
RVP Holt Bent
Plan on moving Bent out after a few fixtures to get whomever the dominant striker is at that price. Thinking Suarez or upgrading to Aguero. A little unsure about VDV but can't convince myself not to have him. Good options for captain.
Thoughts?
