Drop Dead Tsimikas

14 years, 7 months ago
My DGW team is a touch schizophrenic, but it is what it is...can't wait for that WC...

Howard
Simpson, Assou-Ekotto, Baines
Drenthe (headdesk), Valencia, Bale (C), Nani
Adebayor (VC), Morison, RVP

Bench: Krul, Jose Enrique, Larsson, Taylor (SWA)

No FT left (did Howard for Vorm)

Although I am now not sure if I shouldn't start Jose Enrique in place of Simpson...

Thoughts?

Quick question...

i have already made 1 sub this week, if i was to make a second sub, would the -4 come off this week or next week?

Its important because im currently 3 points ahead of my opponent (without baps ofc) and even though i want to make a sub, dont want to get knocked out the cup cos ive been a muppet..

thanks for ur help!!

    is was basically walters for vdv...
    
    with the risk of rvp being rested and a playing playing twice should get 4 points anyway....and walters may not even playing..
    
    what do u think..
    
    simply..
    
    walters for vdv...for -4

My Team is linked.
Have already changed Smalling to BAE for dgw. Thinking of doing larsson to osman for the dgw using my FT too. Yay or nay?

My second question would be whether it would be a good idea to WC right after this.
Im planning on changing my team to this

Vorm, krul
Jones, Enrique, (Senderos/Huth/ Simpson)
Silva, Bale, Nani, (Dempsey/ Moses)
Ade, RVP, (Sturridge--> Helguson/Yakubu before Ba returns)

Is it worth changing sturridge to Helguson/ Yakubu? Note that both blackburn and QPR has pretty decent fixtures for the next 8 gameweeks, esp QPR ( new,WIG,villa,WOL,blackburn,FUL,EVE,bol)
Lastly, Would helguson or Yakubu be a better pick?
Apologies for the lengthy post. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Happy New year to everyone, Cheers!

  first question - definitely yay..
  
  2nd question - Huth can be avoided, get in sorensen instead of krul as you already have simpson... and you can maybe get in mata for dempsey for the money saved on above

  No point having a 13m striker if you aren't going to play him. I'd bench Walters as City haven't scored in their last 2 so Enrique could get a cleanie.
