Akers Just a quick reminder to those competing in the Paddy Power Cup V – Round of 16 that the Quarter-Finals will take place over Gameweek 21, and not Gameweek 20, the deadline for which is tomorrow.
The Last 16 results will be published later in the week, along with the all-important Quarter-Final fixtures.
Is it worth taking a -4pt hit to do Brown > Clark?
I missed Sunderland game, so used my 1FT to bring in Brown for J.Evans yesterday before realising he was injured!! I wanted to bring in Warnock, but was 0.1 short, and completely overlooked Clark.
Team for GW20 is currently:
Vorm
Brown Walker Jones
Bale Silva Nani Walters
Adebayor RVP Sturridge
Subs; Ruddy Moses Caulker Jose Enrique.
it looks like everyone has gone bale over ade for capt. i've personally gone with ade
who are the best captain choices for this week in your opinion?
Bale and Adebayor.
you might be on to something.
everyone is going for the DGW players but someone could easily outscore them with one good game.....
Are you really going for an away player rather than 2 players that have 2 home games? Very brave
I wonder if I have the balls to do that
VDV
which 3 of these defenders should I play? and (quite relevant), what substitute priority among the others?
Kompany (Liverpool, home)
Smalling (Newcastle, away)
Enrique (Man City, away)
Caulker (Aston Villa, away)
Simpson (Man Utd, home)
Smalling is a doubt, but consider him and based on fixtures here regardless please
does:
Caulker, Kompany, Smalling
with
substitutes: Enrique, Simpson
look right?
If there was a frisking the fixtures article right after the dgw what would it say for
The Strong- Arsenal,Aston Villa, Blackburn, Chelsea, Wba,
Also to Consider-Newcastle,QPR
The Weak- Everton, Man Utd, Swansea, Wigan
Also be Wary of- Man City, Tottenham
This is of course in the prep for the wc. Is this somewhat correct?
I'd agree wholeheartedly. I have Arsenal & Chelsea coverage (RVP & Sturridge) but will be looking to add the rest. In my 'watch list' I have:
Villa - Clark, Albrighton & Ireland
Blackburn - Samba & Yakuba
WBA - Shorey
Any else I should add to that group? Don't really need a striker 🙂
Clark is obviously a good cheap player but a lot of people are also considering Warnock from Aston Villa. I might get Mata from Chelsea.
The priority is of course getting rid of the everton players. The team plays crappy football most of the time.
I hope they update the official watchlist soon.
Be wary of Man City? They'd be in the strong 😕
Anyone see an obvious way i can improve my team?
At the moment all i can see is Allen to Moses OR lose the sunderland keeper
Surely one of you can find better? Have one free transfer
Allen to Moses is pretty good. Swansea have pretty terrible upcoming fixtures.
Yea
Sad thing is , had Moses from gameweek one , kept him for ages then sold him at his lowest price , just before he started getting points.
Got Allen in who had been doing well , and all he has done is get twos. !!
So now back to Moses , for more twos no doubt
which of these guys are likely to start?
etherington
sturridge
drenthe (how many, 1 or 2)
Should I do Drenthe to Osman for a hit? Guess not..
Just say no to taking a hit for Leon bloody Osman.
debating the same but with Osman or Donovan. Fuzzy posted an interesting few words on Drenthe from Evertons fan forum saying he was just sick after new years eve party..( well thats the conclusion I reached)
Everton player for a hit seems suspect though..
they do have 2 decent fixtures after the DGW with avl and BLA.
If they do score big against Bolton or whoever I bet all the points will go to some random that nobody has like Cahill, Bilyaletdinov, or Anichebe.
yeah I cant take a hit for it so am just going to keep Drenthe in and pray
Same here then
Having to actually bench one of my fowards doesn't feel right but do I really have a choice with my team?
Vorm ( Ruddy)
BAE, Jones, Enrique ( Senderos, Evans)
Drenthe, Osman, Silva, Nani Bale
RVP, Adebayor (Ba)
Ba vs man u away might not be as terrible of a fixture as I'd have thought after what I saw vs Blackburn last weekend but Does anyone do anything different? Ade is cap and will score 5 goals over the 2 games obv
Bench Drenthe I'd say, a risk but could pay off.
who shud i bench
Silva (LIV)
Walters (bb)
#
Walters Injury doubt I think, so I would bench him in case he gets ten minutes at the end.
I need your help guys.
My current team.
Vorm
Simpson Walker Samba Evans Brown
Nani Drenthe Brunt Bale Walters
Sturridge RVP Adebayor
- Brown Sturridge Brunt & Walters are all doubtful
- Evans is injured
- I have 2 FT this GW
- The obvious choice is Evans --> Jag/Baines
- Should I go Sturridge --> Yakubu
- or maybe Brunt --> Osman
help please!
Thanks.
Greetings, friends. Sir Willis Hide has once again returned to inquire about the mysterious disappearance of Royston Drenthe. Where was he hiding yesterday, and will he make a much awaited comeback against Bolton?
Sir Willis Hide has once again posted the same question on a new page.
the RUMOURS are that Royston was ill not injured.
if that was a virus or self inflicted after-math from a New Year party is anyones guess.
the fact remains that Drenthe has not been playing regularly and Donovan has turned up with limited time and will be ustilised first (imo).
Morning All! 🙂 Happy New Year. I thought it was quiet, posted on the last article (silly sod).
Three of my four H2H games won or lost by 1 point this week.
Between osman, sessegnon, ireland...who is the best value?
Between evans and bardsley, who should i drop?can bring in either kelly,warnock,clark, bosingwa,konsielny
really confused......
My team is-
Krul, Cerny
P Jonews, R Taylor, J Enrique, T Vermaelen, R Shotton
Silva, Bale, Nani, Allen, B Johnson
RVP, Ade, Ba.
I Have 2 free transfers this week and 0.0M in Bank.
I was thinking of doing-
Nani>VDV, B Johnson>Osman/Rodwell/Donovan, Ba>Morison/Helguson/Ruiz(or Sa)/Fletcher
Plz suggest me which players to transfer in And Captain & VC choice.
??
Help Needed Here.
i would look at your defence first my friend.
Krul home to a wounded utd. Cerny may not be in for QPR.
Raylor was tactically subbed off last match, a sign he may not be preferred agaisnt utd.
Verm is out.
Shotton lost his starting gig last match.
Fix that area IMO, throw in a DGW, maybe two if you can dump verm.
where's my cup opponent. 4 hours to make any alterations here. I wanna see his squad!!!
by the way, i dont like this year on the cup history page, they dont have the flag of the nation your opponent represents. I like to know what countries Im destroying in an easy visual presentation.
Which is the best combo long term?:-
Valencia and Jones
or
Nani and JEvans
Looking at the following team post WC
Vorm Ruddy
Enrique Kompany Caulker McAuley Jones/JEvans
Silva Bale Gerrard Frei Valencia/Nani
RVP Ade Sturridge
*P Jones*
Reply Fail.
Anyone fancy McClean to keep his spot?
Which three to start out of Hibbert, Brown, Naylor, Shotton, Simpson?
Reasons for playing my wc deadline
1) I have 3 everton players to get rid of
2) I will still have my other wc that can be used later
3) There is a 12 day gap bw the two deadlines and hence it can there is a good chance of profit from the market
4) I already have injured players i want to get rid of
Any reasons i shouldn't?
