Adebayor. Until he was gloriously red-carded.

I'm sure anyone who had Aguero in GW1 last year is the winner here.

Still, 6 points eh? Better than the one I've managed to blank from my memory who was bought, got a red card after about 15 mins and was banned for 3 games.

I remember this because I brought him as well. I checked my team page to see he scored points and then looked at the flag...

Yakubu a couple of seasons back. Bought him and by around the 22 mins and 33 seconds in he'd been sent off.

David Dunn lasted 8 minutes for me on the first day of the 2010-11 season.

Not sure if this counts but I once brought in Torres on a Monday evening & he was injured by Wednesday lunchtime, that's Torres.

Not short but ZERO gametime if that counts,
Alcaraz GW1 - GW11 last year, zero minutes and many multiples of 0.1 and 0.2 drops.
He's still on the Xmas card list tho after his 15 point haul against Bburn 2 years ago.

*27th October 2012 not 2010

pogremnyak (or however you spell the swines name.) only had to rely on him for a little 2 point appearance once and he gets himself sent off.

Drenthe. Came on in the last ten minutes of second game in dgw to ruin a good score from first sub. Think he may even have received a yellow and thus 0 pts

Sturridge

Tekkers by far!

Benteke shades it, however the real form player is Sturridge right now. Unfortunately his role will be under threat when Count Suarez returns though 🙁

Sturridge long term?
How soon we forget the Cannibal of Ajax!

I'm thinking Benteke as we don't know what'll happen come GW6/7...

Walcott at home.
Has great underlying stats & should come good, right?

You know it is

Rule 1: ways captain RVP (non owner)

Your team is King Crimson good.

That book - Dont sweat the small stuff - was intended for just this type of situation 😀

😯
Wildcard your team. Take an 8 point hit. JUST DO SOMETHING!!!

Easy fix mate... Take a -4pt hit GW13 & ensure that two of the defenders you bring in are playing away from home. 🙂

Ward for me

I figure there are so few times we can use these budget players we should give them a go on weeks we really 'need' them.

Sure Kolo could net his one goal this year but, surely the odds are in Ward's favour here to get a better score.

That said, I'm thinking anything nore than 2pts for either of these players should be considered a minor victory...

I think both will start most prem games, hard to call but I think you made the right choice

Assumed this meant Terry was being picked for CL games. Slow and thus potentially vulnerable to Bayern's pace. Creaky old man can't handle two games a week, not when they're United and Bayern anyway.

if he gets benched you can ship him for a united defender easily. not too bad.

I haven't made my transfer yet and I'll still be taking hazard out over terry if it makes you feel better.

It was a friendly after all.

I know each manager wanted to 'win' but, after Terry played three games this past week can you really read much long-term into who was fielded for Chelsea?

Do you really need to take that hit? Coleman or Zaba if so..

Haha. A pretty similar team to mine. Who did you captain? I went with Aguero. Good luck with it dude or we can both try into our pints together at 4!

ouch

Nah..i prefer to remember Rooney's back-to-back hat-tricks of which I (C) both 🙂

Oh yeah. Basically, the Manc clubs started off like a train that season so everyone loaded up. BUT Utd away at Pool and City home to Villa = agonising mass rotation early on (Aguero was injured iirc).

By this point in the season, City had amazing fixtures but I'd actually not invested in them mainly because they'd declined attacking wise by this point (carried on in to the next season), so to see this was a relief.

any suggestions?

Between those two, Silva.

But Soldado/Walcott beat out Silva, in my opinion.

I think hell be a regular under pellegrini

very confident he'll start. circle theory ftw

could be a bold move

Soooo tempted. I have a feeling he's going to brace (at least).

Trust in Wally.

circle theory!? someone please explain. i love squad selection theories!

RVP

Giroud

Walcott

RVP especially if Toure is out. But that wont even matter.

Thanks guys...I'm going with Walcott RVP (vc)

Giroud ftw!

Not sure what you mean exactly but all the football news is sure to be dominated by transfers at the moment. Expect team news to pick up after it closes.

Erm. NO. Especially if you have enough playing players for your XI.

that sounds silly.. coutinho / benteke sounds much better than rvp and a bench player

and JWP has some tough competition in the team. He played excellent in the GW2 but might still be rotated a lot.

RVP - Tekkers - Dzeko next week.

Ideally I would have RVP - Tekkers - Giroud

Benteke and Soldado are cemented into my front line.

The third spot is open for tryouts.

Studge, Benteks and possible Lambchop.

All of this is of course hugely dependent on RVP continually firing blanks and less Suaz influence.

I would take Benteke over Giroud. But if Arsenal doesn't sign another striker, Giroud would be a pretty good bargain for the season.

Sense theory says Walcott... 😐
I got both 👿

I can't decideeeeeeeeee. Dzeko or Wally or RVP. FML.

I had it on him all week. I don't wanna change!

A. Gopher it.

Walcott.

Theo

Hatem Ben Arfa. Even if he fails, be proud of the flair.

Coutinho. A player of his quality will hit the points trail at some point.

I don't think a player like Silva offers much fantasy wise tbh...stick with Giroud

I'd captain giroud over silva. I can't believe so many people are stressing over Silva or Walcott for the armband. Walcott all day for me.

And u can sleep now '
Peacefullllyyyy

Yes. He's been among the points last two games. Should start and do well. Theodore is my vice.

I think I might go Dzeko too...

I don't have Aguero, but if I did, I would captain him.

Aguero without a doubt.

Kun

Aguero

Cheers lads....that's what I thought.

i have all three and its kun all the way

Morrison

morrison

Kolo.

I have Silva too. I will be getting up at 7:45 in the morning hoping for the best.

There's no pressure on anyone once the deadline's passed.

Nay

depends who else you have i suppose...

but if its for a hit i'd say no, and if you could bank a freebie, id say do that too most likely.

Stick

FT yay.

depends on rest of team ... pool still good fixtures for coming weeks

Sure, why not?

Silva has the Fantasy Point returns but, each have been 'playing well'.

Also, MCI fixtures get a lil tricky so a swap to Coutinho could work & net you some cash in the process.

nay. Playing around with the midfield heavy hitters is a dangerous game, although neither are explosive.

Hazard reminded us tonight that it may not be long before we get at least a Chelsea mid back in.
