Will any Austin non-captainer/non-owner make a Hitler video if he does well again against Villa. #JustAsking
Mmm, good idea. I'm sensing a 2 pointer from Harry that might just make me throw in the fantasy towel
Could this work?
Depay Rooney Bale
Mata
Carrick Herrera
?
No.
Care to expound?
ADM over Depay, given he stays and grows more into the epl. then depay as back up for Bale/ADM
Depay won't and shouldn't be content on the bench for anyone. AdM will likely go to PSG in the summer, which will be best for all parties involved.
I think it is silly to expect a youngster like to Depay to come to United and be expected to start. Just look at how Herrera and ADM 'quickly' adapted and they're even older than
Depay.Herrera has been brill aside from the spell when he got injured. There are many reasons AdM has flattered to deceive. But to sum it up he's just not the sort of player we should be after. Depay on the other hand has it all. And what does his age matter? If you're good enough you're old enough...
Plus Carrick needs to come off the bench. Gundogan/Pogba/Khedira/Strootman-ish player
Yer 'avin a laugh.
how is carrick an impact player? He is the type of player I'd either start or only put on if up 2-3goals.
He's only the best CM in the PL after all.
Yaya
😆
You think Carrick is better than Yaya? Lmao
Both different players imo. Can't compare them. Yaya likes to go forward and attack while Carrick sits back and dictate the play.
Yaya is still a CM though
Didn't say he wasn't. That's Muppet for you. It's like Xavi and Iniesta. Both are CM but play different roles.
Xavi is a CM. Iniesta is not and was never a CM.
What do you think he is? Wing Back?
#10. He's played many more matches as a wide forward than he has in CM. There is a difference between a CM and a central attacker you know.
Iniesta has played CM plenty of times. He is solid defensively and as we know excellent offensively.
He has played as a CDM, CM and CAM throughout his career. He was not never a CM.false wide forward*
Messi is their #10. He is a central attacker. Iniesta plays a bit deeper. Plays LCM in the midfield. How is he a central attacker?
He's been the furthest forward in a three or on the wing his entire career.
CDM? When? 😆he started his career as a CDM like Fabregas.
No. He didn't. Jaysus. I'm done here.
"Like fellow La Masia graduate Cesc Fàbregas, Iniesta originally started as a defensive midfielder but Andrés Iniesta balance, close control and skill on the ball saw Andrés Iniesta make progress as an attacking midfielder."
http://www.gfdb.com/Player.2948.Andres-Iniesta.aspxAs a kiddie? He never once played there for the first team.
And that last line just proves my point."Funnily enough, Iniesta started as a defensive midfielder, but sooner rather than later his attacking ability was to be seen and pushed further forward."
http://recentfootballnews.com/andres-iniesta
Muppet I'm sorry but occasionally you're full of shyt."I played him as a false winger, central midfielder, deep midfielder and just behind the striker and he was always excellent."
Quote from Rijkaard. He was used as a deep mid...how does that prove your point? In my first comment about Iniesta i mentioned him playing as a CAM...
Right so Iniesta is a CDM. Got it.
My original comment:
Iniesta has played CM plenty of times. He is solid defensively and as we know excellent offensively.
He has played as a CDM, CM and CAM throughout his career. He was not never a CM.
All has been backed up with the quote from Rijkaard, Sorry Muppet you've been proven wrong 😕He's played in CM to spell Xavi mostly. And that Rijkaard quote proves nothing. Iniesta is a #10. End of.
Bye now.You said Iniesta was never a CM. That was the main point i was debating and have clearly backed it up that he has played there before.
you do realize a more attacking CM doesn't make them a number 10?
Yaya isn't even a CM.
Pre sure he is. What position do you think he plays??....
He's a #10. The fact that he plays CM for City is a bit irrelevant considering the number of times he's left them exposed in the center of the park.
yaya a number 10? 😆
he started his early career as a CB...then became a CDM and started become an attacking beast as well. He is a box to box CM.No he's not. He does sweet feck all defensively.
Carrick does SFA offensively so that means he a CDM by your definitions.
muppet Yaya is a box to box CM like Ramsey. He's neither a DM or a 10, he plays somewhere in between
🙄
It doesn't matter that he gets played there. He doesn't do half of what Ramsey does defensively. And I don't think City even ask him to.
he is a CM
You've convinced me now. 🙄
A 10 plays entirely just off the striker. Yaya doesn't do that either. He is a classic CM
He's a CM.
"It doesn't matter that he gets played there."
Kinda does lol.I'm not talking about where he plays. He's a very weird player. Needs to wander from deep to be effective. But he's never a proper CM. City have always had to compensate for his lack of work rate and positioning in CM. He doesn't half stay there most of the match does he.
not really, only in the last 1-2 seasons. Before that he was borderline more CDM than anything.
No doubt that he wonders out of position a lot. Ivan does the same thing but he can't be classified as a CF
Never ever was he a CDM. Barca cited his lack of discipline when they sold him. There's a reason he's been moved further forward throughout his career, which is the complete opposite of the norm.
He sure as hell aint a RB.
And with that I'm off. 😀Ivan ain't a RB? 😆 😆
Just about sums it all up really 😆
I meant, he isn't a player I'd rely on to start every game. He will need to be an every other game type player. He's unfortunately getting old and we need a youthful, dominant, creative CDM to start every game.
If he isn't reliable I don't know who is. I'd love Schneiderlin personally but not to play ahead of Carrick. That's just mad. He's our second best player.
Leave it to Van Gaal to figure out it out. Honestly, he created the template of the current Bayern dynasty. He will make some major big name signings this summer, no doubt. As for who, I have no clue
Carrick sets the tempo of the whole game for United. Gets the team ticking, the passing going. Without Carrick, there is no midfield at United. Just the ball going from defense to attack.
Don't think United need so many stars in the team. It's about playing as a team and we're doing that by keeping big stars on the bench (ADM, Falcao). Wouldn't mind Depay but don't think we would need Bale especially if that means DDG going the other way. Mata on the other wing is playing fine and we have an in form Young as well.
We won't have to give up DDG if Madrid decide to sell Bale. All about the money. And while I worry about the balance of the team a bit, I don't think Depay and Bale would harm our team ethos. Both hard working players with a good eye for a pass.
Yes, but are they really necessary? Getting one of them makes sense, preferably Depay because he'll come cheaper. With both of the it would be a total makeover, which is not needed right now. What we need is reinforcements at the back. I'd like Hummels and Dani Alves in the team.
Uh, well, we just disagree then. I want those two nowhere near Old Trafford.
Who do you think we should sign at the back then? If any?
Laporte. Dragovic is interesting as well. Not at all convinced we need or will sign a RB.
Haven't seem much of Dragovic but I like Laporte. But he's too young and not very experienced. We need a big strong and experienced center back who takes control of the defence. Someone like Vidic or Rio in his prime. I think Hummels can do that.
As for RB, we can't rely on Tony V forever who's a makeshift RB and prone to making errors. We need a proper RB and there aren't many better than Alves in the world right now. Can't get Lahm obviously.
Alves no, Hummels yes.
Don't mind that but then we need to start playing Rafael. Valencia isn't a RB, as he makes errors defensively.
Who is keeping and who is ditching Alexis after Burnley?
Might keep him. Thinking of ditching Bellerin instead. You?
Not sure tbh. I don't have Silva yet, if he continues to look a major goal threat i may have to go to him and get Sanchez back through Eriksen or Mane for his dgw
Not having Silva is risky. I could see your temptation to sell him.
Ditching, but I have a WC so may get him straight back in.
Keeping now and waiting on Costa news
Austin to Gomis my next move... I think
Watching MOTD, Zamora picked a good day to score a worldie 🙂
Costa injury is a bit annoying in that planning for him was one of the reasons I sold Gru. Bit miffed at what to do with that third striker spot now.
Third striker is a pain after this gw, probs just gonna keep Austin. Punt on Gomis or Sakho?
Nah. Will probably hold Tekkers and reassess.
I might have loiced out with that.
forgot about him, definite option. Austin to Remy?
Should I be nervous about Rambo playing next week? Also, is Coutinho worth holding onto?
I'd be slightly nervous almost every week with Ozil/Cazorla/Rambo.
Yes.Who should I look to replace Rambo with? Cesc perhaps? That'd leave me with Terry Cesc Eden
Wouldn't get Rambo now especially with the blank coming up. As for Coutinho, depends if they have a blank as well. If not, I'd keep him.
I bring Coutinho in yesterday instead of Downing... Some good fixtures... I dont like Sterling and Henderson too much....
Was fabregas played deep yesterday or in the hole?
Deep. Oscar played in the hole first half then they went 4-4-2 in the second when Costa / Drogba came on
IPL starts on the 8th.
The Fantasy IPL article is up. Join in the fun.
http://www.fantasyfootballscout.co.uk/2015/03/30/fantasy-indian-premier-league-2015/Left bellerin on my bench, my question is will he play against burley or get dropped again? He is defo coming out of my team for naugton, just unsure if to do it now or after next game week!
Depends on Debuchy and whether he is fit to start.
Do we think that Debuchy will walk right back in the team?
yes
Well he's expected to return and be fit for that weekend. A start against Burnley would be a good way to ease him in ahead of some much tougher opposition. We shouldn't forget that Bellerin conceded the penalty and is still young.
And Wenger has always said the youngsters won't be overplayed.
Not just that he seems to play chambers against the weaker opponents!
I got fed up with the uncertainty & ditched on Friday night for Ivan..that worked well lol.
Austin to Gomis looking very likely after this week.
Good option until Costa is back
Mane owners - beside collective suicide what do you do?
hold and watch him score against HUL
Just that.
I'd hold if I had him. They just lost
Remy the best Austin replacement until Costa is fit?
no.
Austin may score agst chel and westham, good form though
What to do with Ramsey.. have 1.2 itb and 2FT. already have Hazard Silva Coutinho..
Keep one more week
If he's injured swap him for another arsenal mid
IS Rambo injuired?
What was that old quote at the bottom of the page?
"I've had all the right players but not necessarily in the right order"
Story of my season that is. 😀
For me it's, "I've had the wrong punts, with wrong captains."
Fabianski, Myhill,
Ivanovich, Clyne, PVA, Naughton, Rose,
Eriksen, Hazard, Silva, Siggy, Boyd,
Giroud, Kane, Aguero
2.4m, 1ft, WC available.
Anything needing immediate addressing?Am i the only one that doesn't have Eriksen and doesn't feel that bad about it. He's been poor lately. Maybe he gets it together tmrw. Solid team tho
You are certainly not the only one. A lack of obvious 4th midfielders is a problem though
Right? I have Coutinho over Eriksen.. maybe Eriksen changes my mind tmrw and i swoop for him
Eriksen or a defensive sub is on the cards
Alright gents. Good discussion up there about CMs and what not. Good luck for today.
And Muppet, you're a legend. 😆Earlier in the season he said that Baines and Mirallas were equal rotation risks 😆
speaking of Baines... I have a lil money to blow and I think I might punt on him or Coleman
😆
NEED Aguero to score a Hattrick today! My Rival doesn't own him...Massive Differential!
I guarantee he will get zero points today 😉
As an Aguero captainer I agree
Either of these stand out? Will be wildcarding for GW34.
A) Save
B) Benteke -> Remy/Gomis
Myhill
Terry, Berty, PVA
Sanchez, Hazard, Silva, Eriksen
Aguero, Kane, Benteke
Foster, Bellerin, Sinclair, Haidara
Bank 0.1m, 1 FT
Save.
Save if WC
Why save if WCing?
Anyone else screw up and bench Bellerin or was it just me?
Oh yes. I need one of these to not show up to get him off the bench, so pretty unlikely.
PVA, Eriksen, Silva, Aggy, Kanepretty much all his owners benched him..
Was benching Mane tactical or other reasons behind it?
Tired
Had a look at his last match with the NT, it was exactly 1 week before the EVE match.
Doesn't make too much sense
seems tactical, should come straight back into the starting line up id expect
Myhill Panti
Naughton Hutton Terry Clyne Lescott
Hazard Sanchez Silva Eriksen Boyd
Kane Aguero Austin
2FT .4 ITB
Plan was Sanchez to Mane/Sigg but not sure now
Any ideas?Hutton and Naughton both injured so maybe one of them to Toby?
Or Austin to Gomis if you feel like Gomis will keep on scoring.Oh well, you probably can't afford Hutton/Naughton to Toby...
Cheers. I think keeping Sanchez is the right move although he due a rest
I would keep at least for the Burnley game and then possibly sell for their blank.
Austin has to go.
Maybe Austin to Sakho and save the second FT?
You are covered in defense for the coming GW.
If you fancy Giroud, then I'd probably drop Erik.
And get one of Hendo/Siggy/Mane/Fellaini/Downing
My plan was to do Erik+Austin > Mane+Costa but now that is off for sure.
austin does not have to go imo. u can easily bench
CHE blank WHU liv mci
It's too much for me, especially when £ are not an issue.
How much worse we expect WBA and Soton to be at the back without Fo(r)ster?
Worse enough to avoid doubling up on their defense?I think Soton will be fine
Has the colider been switched on yet?
?
That tunnel they've built under the German-Swiss border to see what happens to particles when they collide at supersonic high speeds.
Apparently, it's going to change our lives forever.
LHC is under maintance, but is due to start up again right around this time. It did in fact find the Higgs Boson.
Ah yes...the Higgs Boson has definitely impacted my own life. In many ways in fact.
Glad to hear that.
They also got you the internet, so you can thank them for that as well.
It will take an age to draw any meaningful conclusions I think. Might even prove to be a waste of money
What are you talking about?
They already found the Higgs Boson, kinda mindblowing stuff.What is the significance of that?
Its fundemental for the standard model. How it will/can affect our lives is another question.
But as i said in a post under here, we wouldnt have the internet if CERN didnt excist. So they have already affected your life in a huge way.Hold on, was this machine around before the internet?
Yes, large parts of it.
Why has it only been a big deal in recent years then? I thought they were building it
Its because they found the Higgs Boson, Probably the biggest discoveries in science in the last 50ish years.
You might not know what it is nor care, but its a kinda big deal for science and that knowledge might affect our lives in the future.There have been several hadron colliders at cern, the tunnel has been used for a lot of years even to they have changed the interior (newer and better colliders).
CERN developed internet the way we use it now (to be able to exchange information faster), so i guess they already have impacted your life in a huge way. 😉

1FT, 0.2ITB.
How does this look for next week guys?Looks very good for next week
Couldn't be any better
I really hope Eriksen turns it on, today.
Having saved 2ft to do Alexis & Austin > Hendo & Costa I'm now lost on what to do. Any advice lads?
Myhill Foster
Bert Terry PvA Bellerin Dawson
Haz Alexis Silva Mane Boyd
kun Kane AustinMost of us are
I'd stay clear of liverpool until after the replay
I'll probably keep Sanchez although he due a rest and punt on Gomissell bellerin then. i am having the same problem. it gives u more time to assess about pool's DGW and costa's situation.
Guzan (Krul)
Terry Clane Alderwield (Dawson Naughton)
Hazard Sanchez Silva Eriksen (Boyd)
Aguero Austin Kane
1.2m ITB, 2FT.
Which move?
(A) Eriksen to Fab
(B) Eriksen and Alderwield to Henderson and Ivanovic
(C) Naughton to PvA/Schlupp
(D) Krul/Guzan to Ospina/Panti.Eriksen has Villa next week
Stay clear of Liverpool, they'll probably have a blank coming up
Wait on news
Not sure
I'd do Austin to a punt then reassess after GW 33 ( Gomis or Sakho)
If Costa is ruled out for dGW - which he probably will be with an hamstring fear - how Chelsea are you going with?
Remy, Oscar and Willian are rotation risks and Ivanovuc is too expensive for meIvan, Hazard are essential for the dgw. Probably Remi will be needed too.
Only Haz is essential
Going w/out a CHS defender? You might be the only one. 😕
where did I state that?
"Only Haz is essential."
5th April. 07.51 hours. Witnessed by the 30 odd souls of the Deadzone.only haz is essential does not equal i won't have a chelsea defender or another attacker. It simple means he's the only player that I think will have a negative effect on your team if you don't. I can have JT instead of Ivan..hence Only Haz is essential, Ivan isn't.
As I was saying, essential.
Cheers, J4F,...Would you DG Sanchez to Mane or Sigg to UG a defender to Ivanovic?
For the DGW yes. I'm no fan of Mane or Sigg though. Caz, Silva and Haz are all watertight choices. The 4th mid is less clear. Might be Henderson if Liverpud have a dgw in 34.
Remy definitely not nailed
just see gw18-20, Remy and drogba shared time
then i guess there is pretty much no1 else for u to get then. maybe fab if u want to swap a mid.
only hazard fab ivan terry are risk free..the rest are slight risksI don't see Drogba starting over Remy. I will be getting Remy for sure
Cheers for replies
Without looking, who has the 3rd most assists in the FPL this season?
Aguero
Nope, but Agüero is the second best forward, with 7 assists.
So I guess Fabregas and Hazard would be up there. I'll go one of the STH defenders.
Fab is on top, by quite some margin. AdM is number two, while Sterling and the one I'm after shares the 3rd place.
Then it must be that lad at Leicester, Vardy or whatever his name is.
Vardy
Yes. I never would have guessed Vardy - but he's 3rd. Amazing.
He would never have guessed either
Good guess 🙄
Ozil?
Eriksen? Janmaat? Austin?
ADM with ten?
I just looked, there are two equal third 😉
Siggy
Mane?
2FT 1.4m itb now but unsure of what to do..sell bellerin is the best option right?
allows me a week more to see who to bring in for benteke n ozil..before deciding the 3rd chelsea player to get for DGW..and to see whether pool proceeds for the FA cup
