AARON RODGERS IS A BEAST!!!!!!!!!! FG OPPORTUNITY HERE TO WIN
Open Controls
Best QB in history.
Open Controls
Now, now ... don't get all wacky ...
Open ControlsWho would you go for, Manning?
Open ControlsIt'd be tough to argue Joe Montana. He'd get my vote.
Manning, Staubach, and Starr are there, too.
But I'm a Phil Simms guy myself, although I'd never argue he's the best QB.Open Controls
Hell I´ll give a shout to a more recent machine: Tom Brady
I would say Drew Brees and Phillip Rivers and of course Manning are better than Aaron.Open Controls
Nani or Bale for the next 5 weeks?
United: WOL qpr ful BLA WIG
Spurs: sto SUN CHE nor swa
I have VDV and just Jones from United. Spurs fixtures look tougher but its hard to ignore Bale's form and the fact United have scored just 10 goals in their last 9 games.Open Controls
Do ppl think having Ba & Ben Arfa is overkill for newcastle? also have Simpson.
anyone?Open Controls
I think so. Ba is for Newcastle like RVP is for Arsenal, everything goes through him, just a waste having someone else aswell
Open Controls
What time do price changes occur? Thinkin of doing VDV > Bale right now for a hit, before prices rise/fall.
Open Controlsaround 03:00
Open Controls
I've just done the same, sudden kneejerk couldn't be helped
Open ControlsI cant seem to go through with it..If you think about it, VDV is more likely to score/assist than Bale is next week. So it doesnt really make sense to take a hit to bring in Bale for VDV (I think the main reason is catching the bale price rise and avoiding the VDV price fall)..
Open ControlsI'm sticking by VDV. Stoke game will be his last chance for me
Open Controls
I'm considering the VDV>Bale move also, free transfer.
VDV has to be a doubt now? Even if fit, he's battling with an in form Defoe. Bale is in form and cheaper.
I don't expect to make any other transfers before the next deadline.
No brainer eh?Open ControlsIf it was a free transfer for me, I would have already done it. Its the 4 points that I dont think I'll get back, that Im worried about!
Open Controls
Thats a good enough reason imo.
Besides , its not like VDV won have more hamstring problems.
Also the competition from Defoe is very real , as is the improvement in BaleOpen Controls
lol all that work for nothing NYG and then aaron rodgers throws it like its his backyard.
Open Controls
Tell me about it...
Inconsolable right now. To my mind it came down to the previous drive where we went with a 3 man rush and gave them a cheap TD. Take that away I think Eli wins it for us...Open Controls
The D was gassed though at that point.
The Packers may well go 16-0 just like the Colts will probably replicate the Lions and go 0-16.
However, I'm not sold on GB's D and in the NFL there's always going to be one game you play where your opponent makes one play more than you or you just fumble a couple of times in bad field positions.
It genuinely wouldn't surprise me for GB to go 16-0, have the bye and then get bounced out of the playoffs in the divisional round by a WC team that just gets hot at the right time.Open Controls
Nani or Bale for the next 5 weeks?
United: WOL qpr ful BLA WIG
Spurs: sto SUN CHE nor swa
I have VDV and just Jones from United. Spurs fixtures look tougher but its hard to ignore Bale’s form and the fact United have scored just 10 goals in their last 9 games.Open ControlsBased on the fact that you have VDV, go for Nani
If not, Bale is the obvious choiceOpen ControlsYeah I'm thinking I may have missed the boat for Bale's purple patch, I'm just wondering if United can find their goalscoring form again...
Open ControlsSee your point, expecting them to notch it up a gear with the teams they are facing now..
Open Controls
As long as you don't have Ade, go Bale until Utd start scoring more than 1 a game.
Open Controls
Go Lions- pound the Saints!!!!
Open ControlsBefore I got to bed....
VDV & Saylor out, Adam and Jones in? I have 2 freebies...Open Controls
A) Smalling + Nani
Or
B) Jones + Bale
Allready have VDV & AdeOpen ControlsB, can't ignore Bale at the moment, but I still see United picking up their offensive game in the nearest future
Open Controls
Like B for more stability. tough call though.
Is Bale going to go up tonight?Open ControlsYes
Open ControlsThanks.
Had to get Bale in now. VDV just seems to be a rotation risk & being out performed by the new consistant Bale.Open ControlsI'm giving him one last chance against Stoke, although I don't expect Spurs to run riot.
They'll probably win though, and Bale will of course be involved in everything. lolOpen Controls
Nice grav! The Rain Man 😀 Jepp. Bale will rise. Worried it's a overload of Spurs players. They really need to put on a show to give everyone points.
Open ControlsThanks mate. Champion of the 90's!
Tough 1... got Ade & Bale now for Spurs cover so im hoping his run can continue. Looks more secure for starts and 90mins as well, given the xmas overload, hope he can do better then VDV in this period.Open Controls
Open ControlsVorm Al-Habsi
Naylor Raylor Enrique Turner Jones
Silva VDV Nani Eagles Moses
Bendtner RVP Ade
2FTs, 2.1m in the bank.
A) VDV -> Bale
B) Ade -> Yakubu/Morison, Moses -> BaleOpen ControlsBendtner > Ba
Save the other transfer for next weekOpen ControlsGot a simular team with 2 free's also. Just did VDV to Bale to beat the rise (Terrified of a VDV double next GW) this left me with enough to upgrade Sturridge to Suarez for a few weeks.
Think Ade is a keeper till DGW. A for me.Open ControlsI just did VDV > Bale (for a hit) to catch the price rise. Im not too sure I did the right thing..anyway theres no going back now..just hope VDV doesnt run riot against Stoke!!
Open ControlsThis is what I'm worried about. Not keeping the faith in Sturridge and shipping him out for Bendtner three weeks ago has made me terrified of making transfers for fear that they'll backfire. Thanks all for your thoughts...I'm leaning towards just doing VDV -> Bale as well and hoping the money saved and price rise will soften the blow if VDV does well. I can still see Bale doing well vs. Stoke; Huth is not a right back and I don't rate Wilko particularly highly.
Open ControlsAgreed fully. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Open Controls
Hoping the same. But at almost 1.5m cheaper with more minutes, better form, & no rotation risk looks to be a smart move.
Open Controls
eagles, moses or bentdner. Pick one and then wield the axe.
Open Controls
Which team is more likely to keep a clean sheet the upcoming week
Sunderland (BLA) or Spurs (sto)
I think Spurs, why I'm asking is who to start out of Brown and BAE, currently fielding the latterOpen ControlsYeh i'd say play BAE. have a simular issue though. Would u double on Swans defence or play Westwood ahead of Vorm in goals?
Open Controls
Adebayor to Ba a good move?
Open Controlsno way.
Have feeling the love for Ba is overdone , Newcastle about to become very average , they have over acchieved so far this season and are about to plummet down the table. I might be wrong , but dont dump adbyour , especially with aa double in a few weeksOpen Controlschop some else if you really want Ba
Open Controls
pick a choice
1) sturridge –> Ba
2) VDV –> Bale
3) Do Both n take a -4 hitOpen Controls4) Wait till after the Stoke game and then axe VDV if he doesn't play 60+ and deliver 😉
Open Controls1 However I would be weary of losing Sturridge before a match vs Wigan in GW16
Open ControlsKeep Studger until he stops scoring every game at least. Wait to see how Newcastle are now they're without Saylor and Coloccini. Wait and see how Ben Arfa does too, I like him more than Ba if he's starting every game. With that in mind it'd have to be 2.
Open Controls
Can bring pretty much anyone in for next gwk.
Who do you think will be the highest scorers next week?Open ControlsRooney/Nani/Suarez/RVP
Open Controls
Chelsea fans. Thoughts on Romeu? If he gets starts I'd be happy with 3 point games coming off my bench
Open Controlsromeu is a good player but not for fantasy just like all other good but defensive midfield players n romeu might also not play every game it has to seen though i do prefer him to mikel
Open ControlsI'm not a Chelsea fan but I'd advise against it. I think he's a classy player but he's by no means nailed on, and with the Chelsea defence as it is this year, 3 point games won't happen all that often. If you're looking for a player in that bracket I'd suggest Gower; assist machine.
Open ControlsSlowly establishing himself as a better alternative than Mikel. Not sure about upcoming gametime though, as AVB still will have to use Obi from time to time..
I suggest you use the time up to the January WC and throw him in if he becomes a regular..decent punt compared to the other midfielders in that region I guessOpen ControlsAlthough, as the others are saying, there are more attacking options that probably will get a goal or assist more often than Romeu
Open Controls
Vorm Westwood
Jones Brown Richards Simpson Enrique
vMata Sliva Bale Walters Dyer
Ba Rvp Adebayor
is this team good for gw 15 ?
Or instead of mata should i go with Nani and
instead of ba sturridge ?Open ControlsStick IMO
Open ControlsMata > Nani out of the two, no point in getting in Sturridge against City
Open ControlsIt could work. But IMO it is rather short sighted. Chelsea play the team that wear that shirt in your grav in GW16
Open ControlsYep I would keep until after that game, but United still have the sickest fixtures ever..QPR ain't much better than Wigan tbh 😉
Open ControlsThey may do, but they are not scoring goals. I am considering Welbeck to replace Hernandez (who I got in for this GW), but Utd are not playing with the confidence to suggest they will get lots of goals in these fixtures.
Open Controls
Was adamant earlier that Craddock made contact with Larsson. Having watched it a few times it looks like I was wrong. I think Larsson WAS trying to get around him and made then made the most of it.
Open Controlsthe sess assist was a nice addition to my score.
Open ControlsGot a new one, 2 FTs:
A) VDV -> Bale
B) Bendy -> Morison & Eagles -> Bale, leaving me with the holy trinity of Ade/VDV/Bale.Open Controls
Another failure in the last few games for me then - 62 pre bonus now looking pretty average.
2 freebies (and 0.1m in the bank) to get excited about this week - which of these do peeps think are best?
a) Woodgate & Aguero -> P Jones & Ba (leaves me 2.4m in the bank for GW16)
b) Ramsey & Aguero -> Nani & Ba (leaves me 1.0m in the bank for GW16)
c) Woodgate & Aguero -> P Jones & Suarez (leaves me 0.0m in the bank for GW16)
Westwood, Ruddy
Vermaelen, Brown, Simpson, Wilkinson, Woodgate
VDV, Silva, Ramsey, Sinclair, Reo-Coker
RVP, Aguero, AdebayorOpen ControlsPersonally I'd keep Aguero and do Woodgate -> Naylor, Reo-Coker -> Gower. You'll be a bit Swans heavy this week but you can then do Sinclair to someone the following week. Aguero is close to a season keeper imo considering how many City are scoring.
Open Controls
Nani or mata ?
Open ControlsNani until January WC
Open Controls
I don’t know I have gone this far. Next gameweek is gonna be the first week for me to play 5 defenders.
De Gea
Vidic Vermy NTaylor Brown Simpson
VDV Silva
RVP Adebayor Klasnic
Bench: Vorm Walters Drenthe Dyer
0.0 in bank with 1 FT.
Suggestion?
I like doubling up on United defense, but De Gea is not starting every game, I am planning to ship him out on next CL fixtures and upgrade Walters/Drenthe/Klasnic. Thoughts?
I would love to bring Ba in, any suggestion moves?Open Controls
Will P.Jones' price rise tonight? CTC and TotalFPL say differently..
Open ControlsAs I trust FISO, it wil be real tight, but I think he will rise
Open ControlsMe too 😉
Open Controls
Thanks. I think he will too..
What's about Richards > Jones ?Open Controlseven thought i have Jones I've been watching the diff between fiso and totalfpl this evening. He will just about make required transfer # on fiso but will be well short on totalfpl % Hard to call.
Open Controlstotal fpl has been consistent with price rises but a player can rise with less than 100% on fiso when there are a high # of xfers in one day.
Open Controls* sorry, less than 100% on total fpl
Open ControlsTotalFPL was wrong with R.Taylor yesterday but FISO was correct. Raylor's price rose when 7x% on TotalFPL. So, I think it could happen again.
Open ControlsI agree. feels like a rise to me bases on my transfer change watching
Open Controls
just reluctantly joined the bale bandwagon , best had pay off
Open ControlsDid the same... feel the same.
Open Controls
Anybody going with UNITED attacking cover ?
If yes which one ?Open ControlsBa or Sturridge ?
