Dugout Discussion – Southampton vs Man United

Really don't think Romero is a great shout anyway, Mourinho will field an experimental side of youngsters, Bailly may be out, and Gabbiadini won't get a penalty.

that's good then!

Did you end up going without Sanchez this GW Holmes?

Palace will score anyway

Mourinho has stared that Pereira will get a start in one of the remaining 3 PL games.

Go for Joel Pereira instead. He's starting this weekend 😉

See previous two page discussions but I come down on the side of Haz to Cout if you are leading your ML as a template move. Haz will be preserved for the FA Cup Final and go easy at a cameo Sunday.

I suggest u start watch some soton/watford games

They're really dirty.

Because they're not very good at tackling? 😛

Anger issues?

Mike Dean.

Position, technique and discipline

Reminds me of Scholes' customary yc slide tackle.

Sounds good

Thinking something similar

If you've achieved your goal, have fun. If you want to push for an 8k jump think different. If you can combine the two, wonderful!

Yup haven't even looked.

The amount of early transfer talk and action here sometimes baffles me.

Planning I suppose. Until we see what happens tomorrow and the week is finally over then I don't bother too much. Injuries and that.

o/

Probably saving FT, no player to drop (unless Cedric is out)

Bench is Cech, Albrighton, Yoshi and Holgate

Nice team. Unless you get any last minute injuries Ozil -> Courtinho probably makes sense.

Pushing for better rank or position in MLs, its risky but can work...

I think the 'logic' is more to do with having a fun punt and a final farewell than any realistic expectation of improved points returns.

You're taking a gamble that someone will get a haul basically.

To get the maximum possible points.

For many it's actually a very logical step. Say you are 14k rank and you want top 10k. Well you're going to need to think clever and get a big differential captain to get top 10k rank so many will be thinking move Hazard to Coutinho and spend a hit on Gabbi to Vardy/Sturridge (c).

last chance to give it a go
a few teams still need a big result
said teams play at home
said home teams have a favourable fixture

Nothing. Team is good to go.

Can we see your team?

*vomits everywhere*

i WannaCry when watching him play

A or B.
Slightly prefer A.
Wait for press conference for Fabregas.

Not sure Shifty, Fabregas starting?

Maybe Hazard & Gabbi > Coutinho & Llorente for free? That's what I'm also thinking?

b

Haz Gabbi > Siggy and Sturridge?

Gabbidini > Llorente?

Haz Gabbi out...Cout and someone in?

Haz JWP out...Cout / CHE mid in?

Id be tempted to do hazard to Coutinho

Either Gabbi to Llorente or if you don't mind a hit Hazard & Gabbi to Coutinho & Giroud.

Start Cech imo.

Defence is good.

We've the same front 7 aside from Hazard/Alli. I can't see any glaring changes personally. Hazards minutes and goal involvement are more in question than Alli's though.

Leicester are not the team id be expecting them to keep a clean sheet against.

similar frontline. im also worried about not owning one of chelsea or liverpool attacker.against sunderland and boro at home

contemplating on doing hazard sane --> fabregas coutinhoo

I'm getting Coutinho, Holding, Sanchez, and playing Heaton again. Not convinced on Alli, Siggy, or Sane'

holding in for mawson for sure.
will u play Pickford against Chelsea?
think switch ddg for schmeichel with that ft.

I will probably get Heaton

Either Cout or Fab moves feel too sideways.

Nice team. Alli to Pool mid is a good shout

Heaton
Matip Terry Mawson
Coutinho Fabregas Sanchez Siggy
Kane Vardy Sturridge

That would be my WC team this week.

Heaton
Alonso Azpi Matip
Coutinho Fabregas KDB Sanchez
Kane Vardy Jesus

Heaton
Matip Terry Mawson
Coutinho Siggy Sanchez KIing
Vardy Kane Sturridge

Mathematically, Man City don't have top 4 secured yet.

if Man Utd wil europe league, will 4th place goes to champions league, or to europe league like spurs in 2012-2013 season?

If Boro 2-0 Liverpool
Arsenal 1-1 everton
then playoff between both

On motivation yes, but who knows what Sanchez' motivation really is?

Its hard to argue against Sanchez after this week. Im on Kane at the moment - but Sanchez is definitely a good option.

I'm thinking Giroud and even also considering a punt of Wally.

2 (for some reason, but I'm drinking)

Then choose right dammit! Ha!

What can you do? Form/Fixture + Motivation

It can be a season-changing day.
I think it was back in 2010 that Lampard saved my season. In the last game against Wigan, Chelsea won 8-0 and secured the title. Drogba got a hatrick and my captain, Lampard, got (I think) a goal and four assists with three bonus points. Happy days!
I have a feeling that Liverpool might trounce Middlesbrough this time around. Liverpool are attacking anyway and have everything to play for; Middlesbrough have nothing to play for. It feels like the kind of game in which Liverpool might score four or more goals. There's no telling now if Origi, Sturridge, Firmino, Coutinho, or Lallana will be among the goals. Milner might not be a bad shot either if he takes a penalty.
Likewise, Man City have it all to play for, though Watford players will perhaps be more motivated to impress after the sacking of Mazzarri. Jesus, Sane, Aguero, de Bruyne, Toure, and Sterling all have plenty to prove.
Personally, I think it's worth a gamble on the final day and risk going for a non-obvious captain, like I did back in 2010.

Yeah, hehe could be

You really are on the beach. Yes I think Burnley game will be high scoring. I like to punt on Vokes

Benteke if I had to choose

Don't do it. Your OR is recorded. You might want to be rated in the future.

Form and Cup figure in. But I understand. Just where are your points coming in 38—those you can count on? Chelsea have it locked already

vokes or llorente are good shouts i think

Llorente or Vokes

Vokes

Gabbi ➡ Deeney

Problem solved.

Everyone agrees on Sturridge. There should be some type of table on EPL that ranks a points system for strikers, similar to BPS. Striker $$ values seem to be out of skew with reality.

I've gone for Origi

Downgrade Court to a Cheapie and Sane to Coutinho

I'm thinking that it means the players will be wanting to show the club hierarchy that they're serious so they don't get sold as part of negotiations with the new manager. Insecurity can motivate better performances. I think it's different from, say, West Brom, who are stable and safe with nothing to play for against another team in a similar situation. That makes me think there's more chance of a low-energy 0-0 between West Brom and Chelsea. All this makes me lean to a Liverpool captain or Sanchez for the final week.
