    How I'm approaching gameweek 38.

    37k Points - 2182 => 58 points per week. Need to be 65.

    Gameweek 38

    Select home players
    Captain as differential
    One or two transfers?
    Target: to make 5k and find nice gf for Tragico.

    Targets

    Kolorov - gametime under threat from Clichy?
    Silva - straight swap for Gerrard but at home to STH
    Toure - in form but not a heavy points scorer this season.
    Bolasie - could be goals but not as effective at home as away
    Ulloa - at home to QPR but not heavy enough
    Captain Benteks? In form and playing Burnley. Possible differential.
    Hazzard - sure to be goals v SUN. However, need a hit to get him in and wouldn't be a differential.

      Think Tekkers captain too... Concerned that cup final is around the corner and Sherwood may rest him for it as they are safe.... Am I being over cautious?

      May punt on Toure, not sure though yet

        Two differing views on Benteks. My feeling is that he will start as two weeks without a game means no match fitness. I'm quietly confident on this one.

        Toure is too risky for me.

      I'd chalk off Hazard and Ulloa from that list. Gerrard to Silva would be ok, but not really a differential. Captaining Benteke would be good, I think Sherwood would rather see him score than rest him.

          You want a differential and bringing in Hazard for a hit is not going to help you in any way.

              Thinking of bringing Kolarov or NDoye in. Don't want to take a hit if I can avoid it.

    3. Eze Really?
      • 11 Years
      10 years, 7 months ago

      I have 11 home players but more importantly 3 reasonable reserves to cover for rotation. (arsenal Villa) I looking to protect a lead though.
      Kolorov should play due to form and results.
      Toure expensive so can only swap for Sanchez
      Bolasie a really good call.
      Silva perfect
      Vardy a better call than Ulloa IMO.
      Hazard most will have.
      The differential IMO will be having 11 points scorers so don't chase the ace!

        Watched the LIV/CPL game and was really impressed with Bolasie. Not sure he'll do it at home though.

        Kolorov - concerned that Clichy will come in. CTY are really unreliable for rot.

        Willing to overlook Haz esp after the WBA performance.

        We had no real faith in Giroud but we'd set our stall out at the start of the tournament not to spread our risk and to go all in on certain players in any given week. Should never have done it with that big oaf though!

          Yeah, we knew you'd go all out on Giroud as that was a major advantage you had over us. Some of our guys were willing to take one for the team and get Giroud rather than their planned transfers but I figured he was a risk worth taking given his form.

          Could have so easily gone the other way though!

    Scored the least points of any team in the group stages. Scored the most points of any team in the semi-finals. This is how we crescendo to the finish. Here comes the big drum roll finale...

    AUSSIE ! AUSSIE ! AUSSIE !

    Anyone ever used a crowd called eDreams for booking flights?

    My Father-in-law just thought he booked flights on Ryanair website when it was in fact on eDreams' website. You'd think the fact his flights were with Iberia and included a stop over in Madrid might have caused him some concern, but no I get a call enquiring as to why stupid Ryanair have booked him a flight with Iberia and making him stop over in Madrid! Of course it's "typical Ryanair" behaviour, nit his own idiocy...
