Our regular post-Gameweek delve into the members data examines Leicester’s strike duo and chief creator, Robin van Persie’s toils up top for United, Alexis Sanchez’ goal threat and the contrasting form of the leading candidates in the race for the Golden Boot.
I hope Bayern get beat 5-0 for these silly tactics Pep is using
Yep, it's as if Pep is trying to show off his tactical knowledge
Could be crazy but how about this:
GW36: Fabregas + Ivan > Ozil + Zouma/Luis
GW37: Silva + Henderson > Sanchez + Ramsey/Cazorla
I would still have HazardAlonso CB
Nevermind
Lewa misses a sitter
That is just unacceptable name-shortening. For it to work, it has to sound right.
I think they actually call him that in Germany/Poland.
Hmmm....but...it does make sense with German pronunciation.
Why wouldn't it? It's simply pronounced ''Leva''
We are in danger here of agreeing with each other ad infitum
Infitum?!!! Quite apt really.
Omg lewandowski
LOLandowski
Both teams should attack the same goal and see who scores the most
Can't believe Suarez missed that, I've got him for two or more
Davis
Kos. Mertesacker. Coates. Cresswell
Ramsey. Ozil. Sanchez. Carzola.
Giroud. Wickham
League where you can have as many players from a team
Having some fun. But can do this
Start two:
A) Vlaar (WHM)
B) Bertrand (lei)
C) Hendo (che)
D) Boyd (hul)A,B - but only if you really are Team NZ.
Thanks mate.
Cheers for the reminder, I'll get rid of that since we have been eliminated. But why does that matter?I was checking that you weren't using a sneaky disguise - sort of thing the Australians would do.
Haha rightyo. I'm Australian but apart of team NZ 😀
Cheers again mate.Wouldn't it have been easier just to change the name to NickofNZ?
Yeah haha, not sure how I didn't think of that
Tbf, we spent ages trying to thing up suitable names and they were never going to be anything to the Sri Lankan squad names - though Mark never got into the spirit really.
AB
The almighty one has spoken..
Cheers mate. Hows this week shaping up for you?
Good. Liking the way my team is looking actually.
I am planning on 3 Sunderland next week though that could still change. But I'd quite like to see Sunderland get something at Everton to keep things interesting for them.
Basically next week will come down to 1 transfer - N'Doye to Kane, Austin or Wickham/Defoe. Already have 3 Arsenal and 2 Sunderland.
So what is it for you? Clyne and Sterling to Vlaar and Sanchez or something?Okay nice. Do you already have Sanchez? Did you have him this week?
Which Sunderland players do you have?
Yep, exactly that. Then looking at Silva/Hazard -> Ramsey next week.
Another option would be Sterling -> Ramsey for free this week, then Hazard -> Sanchez next week. I think I prefer the above option thoughThereby hangs a tale actually.
My wildcard plan left cash for Fabregas to Sanchez last week. But I didn't do it because I think Fabregas is playing really well. So I saved FT and missed 12 points.
This week, however, I have been able to use 2FTs to do Sterling and Henderson to Sanchez and Larsson. And I think Fabregas may claw back some or all of those 12 points by the end of season. He could well be on pens if Hazard is rested and Remy starts. We'll see.
PvA is my other Sunderland.Unlucky with that, it was probably the right move on paper. As you said though, it could still work out in the long run.
Larsson punt, I like it.
If my above moves were for a hit, would you still fancy doing them?Hmmm...
I am reluctant about hits now. If it were me I'd do Sterling to Ramsey this week and Henderson to Cazorla next if the cash works. I think Cazorla is under-rated as a DGW option.
But if you are set on Sanchez then this week is the week to take the hit.0.2 short of that unfortunately. Decent idea though.
Yeah I'll probably take the hit. Going without Alexis is too scary
PS If Hazard misses this week I'd keep him. Chelsea have Sunderland (h) in GW 38 before the trophy presentation. And they have a track record for very high scoring games last day of the season.
They way your team is shaping up you have a great chance of the elusive top 1k. You can't be more than 10 or 12 points short, right?Yeah that's a good point.
Wouldn't say I have a great chance, I've been in free fall lately. 1 green arrow in 7 weeks. Yes I think is around 10-12 points.
Where are you at rank wise now?11k. Not so awful considering the newbie mistakes I have made. 🙂
Nice mate, good chance for Top 10K in your first season.
Although I'll be disappointed if I don't make top 1K considering I was in it for 20 weeks of the season straight, it's still a good finish in my first proper season of fantasy.Fingers crossed for you. I guess Sanchez gives you an easy captain choice in 37 since no Giroud. So the hit's probably worthwhile.
As for me, had I not completely misplayed the DGWs in 28 and 31 I'd be well inside the top 5k. Learned my lesson from that.Cheers mate. Good luck to you too.
What went wrong in 31?Well, 28 I captained SGW Aguero instead of DGW Kane. A really stupid move only excused by never having seen a DGW before.
Then in 31 I made 2FTs without bringing in a single DGW player - no Phillips, no Austin, no Benteke. Consequently a huge red that week. I dropped from 9k to 27k over those 2 DGWs and have had to claw it back to 11k since then.
All good learning though. Those are mistakes I won't make again, Next season I'll doubtless find some new ones. 😉Yeah unlucky. Just lack of experience really, aye.
Exactly, it's all a learning process!
Good luck mate
Should I take a hit to bring Sanchez for the DGW?
Yes. But better without the hit.
I would - justifiable to have Alexis in as a captain option and also to save on laundry bills!
Worth getting
A. Larsson
B. Gomez
Plan to swap Henderson & sterling --> Sanchez plus 1Larsson
Any reason why?
I think Larsson's a more dangerous player than Gomez. His only 2 touches in the box against Southampton were from the 2 penalties he took.
How many touches in the box did Larsson have then?
Good question, but I don't have that information unfortunately. Nonetheless, how many penalties are Sunderland going to get? I think it's still more likely for Larsson to do something, especially because he's a free kick specialist.
Cheers
Does it look a good move to you?
I am thinking that or Moreno to yoshida/duffIt's a decent move because of the DGW, but Liverpool's last 2 games are quite good, it's still a better move than Moreno to Yoshida/Duff though.
Thanks
So Hazard is already on holiday? Hmm it'll be interesting to see what Jose says.
He's probably the one who let him go on a holiday.
I know, I'm saying I wonder whether he'll say how long Hazard will be on holiday for
Oh. Do you know where he went though?
Not sure. Looks somewhere exotic though
Really... any link?
Seem real... getting pissedd up in a bar atm
I wouldn't overthink it though. If you think a Haz replacement will outscore him between now and EOS, then this photo is irrelevant.
Beyond that, just because he's enjoying a day off doesn't mean he isn't playing vs Liverpool, wait for more info from MourinhoOk cheers.. grt band on where i am... dont know whether to watch them or footie
split your eyes like a chameleon
Haha.... will give it a bash
How do u split ur eyes 3 ways as on herw as well
As above?
Do people really think Jose will want to face Liverpool Hazardless? This is Jose we're talking about. League won or not, he will want to beat Liverpool.
Agreed. Weird to let him go on a holiday though.
why? it's a day off in the sun..he's not going to lose form or fitness..we don't know where he is and he's filthy rich, pop on a private jet easy peasy
Let him? He's a grown man, he can go where he wants.
Not if he has trainings to attend.
What's Mourinho gonna do, sack him?
I do. Hazard has been playing through fatigue, he's played an enormous amount of games for Chelsea and Belgium over the last 2 seasons with only a 3 week break in the summer.
He'll be back for WBA I'm guessing.Hopefully we will know for sure either way before Saturday..
Incidentally, any idea that this mini-break hasn't been OK'd by Jose is pretty far-fetched. Mourinho was probably the one that suggested it.
Footballers do get time off you know... And being stinking rich can easily nip off for a bit of sun, away from the miserable piss wet weather in the UK atm. He's probably on his way back already.
Latest is he has decided to go back packing around Asia.
He gone 4eva
Messi screwing up a few attacks here
Suarez getting frustrated here...bite incoming.
Goal incoming
Lol
Great feet from Neuer on that fk, shuffled across nice and lively
Which 3 Arsenal players for DGW?
Kos, Sanchez Giroud or
Rambo Sanchez Giroud?Rambo
Thanks. Was all set on Kos but will rethink a bit now.
Neuer, Rakitic and Suarez having amazing games tonight.
I should just let you sell Hazard 😉
This has happened before, Mourinho has given him a sunshine break before, he was back for the weekend. And scored

He'll be there. Pride at stake for Mourinho and guard of honor.
Didnt he just go to Brighton beach that time?
neur is amazinggggg
Pity Bayern don't have Robben for this game.....even more so than Ribery or Gotze he can really go into another gear and tear past a few players.
gotze cant tear past anyone
Good game.
God evening!
Do you think Ramsey will rise tonight, or safe to wait for news another day?
What a game. Been a footballing exhibition till now.
Lol, good game but 'exhibition'? Some shocking play at times
Lool this
Been the opposite of a defending exhibition IMO.
Shocking is an overstatement.
Well it's more accurate than 'footballing exhibition' 😛
This should have been the final.
Two very good games so far. So glad a mourinho team isnt in the semis this year
lol ignorance
?
You pop at Mourinho all the time needlessly
He tries to get reactions, nothing new
He's a good lad, the Mourinho statements are boring though..
if by all the time you mean a couple of comments last sunday then yeah
Why? It's always fun to see him bottle the semi finals. Hasn't won one since 2010.
Who would you start?
Dawson (Newcastle A)
Alderweireld (Leicester A)
Newcastle have been awful and Pulis seems to have got WBA pretty solid at the back again where as Southampton are letting in goals since they lost their keeper. Also ... Leicester are scoring for fun!
Defo Dawson
Neuer is by FAR the best keeper in the world. Miles. Would love to see him get a Balon D'or.
Not going to happen unless Ronaldo and Mess I both have an off season in the same year.
Yeah that's true. Wouldn't mind Messi winning it every year though.
Hi all....who is the best Sunderland midfielder for their dgw?
Gomez? Would rely on pens though
Gomez or Larrson
