I have absolutely no idea, what to do with my team... I only did Sturridge>Ba since WC....Open Controls
Doesn't look like you need to do anything except pick the right 11 next week 🙂
Open Controls
no way i wouldn't bench aguero. he may not have done that well away recently but its too risky to drop him. Villa aren't exactly formidable at home.
Open ControlsHe's got Silva so that will give him MC cover. Ba can and will score anywhere. Aguero has just flopped away from home too many times this year so seems a waste...
Open Controls
Can any recommend a DEF who looks likely to score (given recent form) for the next 2/3 weeks?
Price isn’t an issue…Open Controls- Open Controls
WHAT THE HELL ANOTHER BREAK! Get on with the game. Not getting this sport at all
Open Controls
It's crap.
Open Controls
I was moaning to 'er indoors about the Superbowl going on for hours. She said 'but you love cricket - that lasts all week and they stop for their dinner'. Touche...
Open Controls
On the contrary. Ripley has waded in all guns blazing and has made a fair dent in the Alien frontline.
Open ControlsNo, no - I like that one ... 😆
Open Controls
I'm more surprised that people in England are watching it... Thought everyone hated Gridiron with a passion...Well i do anyway.
Open Controls
Valencia>Sigurdsson
Morrison>Ba
Worth a 4p hit?Open Controls
why did the giants get 2 points? Was that for the whole safety business?
Open Controls
Yes intentional grounding when he could have been sacked for the 2 points. It's like a penalty try.
Open ControlsBlimey. Do you actually understand this nonsense? 😉
Open Controlsthanks, know nothing about the game currently haha
Open Controls
The last time over half a million English people were this confused watching sport was Emile Heskey's last international
Open ControlsGranville, just read your comment about watching every sport - would you say that getting into NFL is worth it? I see a lot of people criticising the sport but I wonder if that's just because they aren't used to it.
Open Controls
Whats the better team guys? 🙂
A)
Vorm (Lindegaard)
BAE | Vermaelen | Kompany (Caulker, McAuley)
Silva | Bale | Valencia | Dempsey | Sessegnon

Thanks 🙂Open ControlsI'll say it again, maybe people will think I'm less mad now.
Newcastle to finish 4th.Open Controls
I'm buying Dave
(The tv channel not the player) 😛Open Controls
Liverpool to finish behind Sunderland. I hope you're bookmarking.
Open ControlsMind the Scousers - and the bridge crowd - they won't like it ...
Open Controls
5th
Open ControlsChelsea and Arseanl have the CL distraction too. and Liverpool have 2 cup runs still going. newcastle can focus only on the league.
Open Controls
18-1 PP
Open Controlsi don't think they would finish 4th though. they've got a solid defence and now a good strike partnership but still not enough to pip all 3 of arsenal chelsea and liverpool. I would imagine at least 1 of those 3 would still finish above them.
Open ControlsYes but Tiote/Cabaye back asap and with that midfield security, Ben Arfa could play out left. Strong GK, defence, midfield and 2 X Demba's up top, it's worth a play..
Open Controlsat those odds it is definitely tempting. i just think at least 1 of the others will pick up some form and a run of wins towards the end of season. I'd be surprised if liverpool arsenal AND chelsea all fail to put a run on at some point.
Open ControlsYeah that is true, a couple of injuries for the toon and their top 4 chance is pretty much gone, they haven't used a huge amount of players this season and you would expect their form to deteriorate last third of season without 2/3 key players..
Open Controls
Would be correct, they did win today thus increasing their chance.
Open Controls
I've always said you were the best contributor to the site Granville.
Keep up the good workOpen Controls
Sigurdsson or Wright-Phillips ? Discuss... 😀
Open ControlsSiggy
Open ControlsHave you seen SWP lately. If you want an example of a player who has lost his desire for the game and been spoiled by millions of pounds look no further. The guy is far too casual on the pitch. He isn't too fussed what happens as long as he gets paid.
Open Controls
Should I do Sturidge to Ba tonight?
Open Controls
Giants are looking good. Gotta shut down Brady and co now!
Open ControlsEhhh??? 😉
Open Controls
Valencia > Silva
Rep Coker > Siggy
4 point hit, worth it?Open Controlsno!
Open Controls
Valencia has one bad week and people are thinking of selling crazy
Open ControlsThere's a lot of problems with owning him, I regret bringing him in, not so much because of today but rotation with Young and Nani...also because of the tendency to get knocked back to right back, just too much working against him.
Open Controls
Anyone watching the women's hockey? Fit. That is all.
Open ControlsGuys any advice on a potentially high scoring defender for a few weeks?
Price isn't an issue...Open ControlsYou again? 😉
Open ControlsLol I even added a gravatar - that's gotta count for something right 😮

Lady's and gents, need to bring in a defender this week for skrtl, as we've got united and ten the blank gameweek. So expecting him to drop a bit. I have Enrique also but bought the fella early at 5.0, he's 6.0 now so would lose .5 on him, I'll hold onto him through that period. So any defenders with nice fixtures over the next 3 or 4 gw have 6.3 to play with??? Other defenders I have are r Taylor, shotton, BAE
Open Controlsrichards would be my pick
Open Controlsyes get a city defender in, good fixtures and solid reliable defence.
Open Controls
Richards
Open Controlsconsidering shotton is benched atm and R Taylor possibly injured for the next few, at least skrtel will play. BAE had bad fixtures too.
Open Controls
http://fantasy.premierleague.com/entry/1389260/history/
RMT for next week if you would be so kind, anyone I should be bringing in taking the fixtures into consideration?Open Controls
Evening fellas.
So, do I bench McClean or Ba next week?
Cheers!Open ControlsThat's a tough one! I'm in the same boat but don't want to bench either one so looking elsewhere - who else you got?
Open ControlsValencia Dempsey Silva Bale
RVP Aguero
Leaning towards Ba atm, simply cus if he bangs one in I doubt he'll pick up any BP's as I see it more likely that they come up on the losing side compared to Sunderland. On the other hand, he is their main man and on set pieces. Gah...Open ControlsPretty much the same as me except I've got Dzeko instead of Aguero...
I know this may sound crazy but I'd bench Aguero - he's terrible away! I've been contemplating whether or not to bench SilvaOpen ControlsVery true! It would make more sense to bench Dzeko I suppose but everyone in my mini-league has Silva but not Dzeko so it could pay off...
Same thing happened this week were everyone has Dempsey so I chose damage limitation and kept McClean on the bench 🙁Open ControlsNice comeback by your guys today, Granny. As a CFC fan I was actually far from certain at 3-0 up, you were obviously the better side and a point well deserved.
Open Controls
The thought has struck me, but given the fact that Villa are conceding for fun and he is on pens with Balo away (I know Milner may be ahead in the pecking order) I just can't do it!
Open ControlsOK let me say this AGAIN. Milner is not ahead in the pecking order, Aguero took the pen v Newcastle when Milner was on, Aguero had gone off when Milner took v Pool
Balo, Aguero, Milner is the order.Open Controls
I am considering benching Valencia with this front 8:
Walters (will be Siggy) McClean Bale Silva Valencia
RVP Aguero BaOpen ControlsValencia could be another overlooked option seeing as he'd be up against Enrique as well but then you're losing Man U cover so wouldn't it be better to bench a MC player?
Open Controls
what was the name of the song for the outro on motd today?
Open Controlsis it maybe this one? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1PorW3y5n1w
not sure if thats on the outro but i've heard it usedOpen Controls
Seeing all the questions about who to bench has made me realise one thing. I was right to get the Gerbil. Now he's suspended I have no choice but to bench him allowing me to play RvP, Aguero, McLean, Captain America, Silva, Bale and Valencia.
Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it 😆Open ControlsSo - no transfers? 🙂
Open Controlscorrect sir. I will wait a week, see if I can work Ba ion, if not get Dave
(to avoid confusion I shall refer to QPR Cisse as Gerbil and Newc one as Dave)Open ControlsGotcha. Hennessey in this week for me.
Open Controlsfor Lind I assume?
Only you and I see the value in Wayne Doos it would seem.Open ControlsYep. 🙂
Open Controlspeople argue against him using to lack of CS against him, those are so hard to predict this year I don't think it's as valid (at least not now Lind is out), this makes save points even more valuable and no one has racked up more that Wayneo
Open Controls
Think this should be the feature content of the next Scout Report ...
"Gerbil & Dave - unlocking the secrets of the Cisses"Open Controls
I like your mini league 'Shabbattle of Britain', very witty. Are transfers disallowed on Shabbat?
Open Controlsnot my name I have to say. Yes transfers are disallowed, at least by me, can't speak for everyone else, but apart from the guy beating me none of the others concern me and it's not a money league.
Open Controls
To get Papiss for Graham should I downgrade Vermaelen or Valencia? Uniteds fixtures pick up in GW28 and Verm is a bit pricey without justifying it atm.
Open ControlsBoth.
Open ControlsYeah both sounds about right. But if I had to do one just to get Cisse would you lose Verm first?
Open ControlsHmmm. Difficult - I think big Tony is losing form. I would be tempted to lose him. I have Koscielny, who I am keeping ...
Open Controlshard to say that after 1 game, could have had another assist but for Cech, but with Young back and Nani probably back for Liverpool his game time may be reduced, which makes him ideal Ba sacrificing material. Only problem with that is GW26 United have Norwich
Open ControlsValencia? Really? He wasnt amazing today but it was against Chelsea away, I think people were expecting a bit too much given Coles absence.
Tony V has been outstanding lately.Open Controls
In each of the past 4 gameweeks I've had one player get a minus number.
GW 21 Yak -2
GW 22 Simpson -1
GW 23 Taylor -1
GW 24 Evans -1
Can anybody rival my run of dreadful choices and sheer bad luck?Open ControlsNo, thank goodness.

Is this American Football malarky thingy just the Mark Chapman Show in disguise?
Open Controls
AVB thinks Chelsea had the initiative for most of the game.
He's either blind, stupid or just doesn't know much about football.
Whatever it is I've lost the remaining respect I had for him, thats the daftest thing I've heard anyone say this season...
He aint gonna last in that jobOpen Controls
It makes you wonder if Mourinho will go back to CFC.
Open ControlsI can honestly see it.
They are outplayed, throw away a (lucky) 3-0 lead then he blames the referee and thinks that Chelsea were the better team....
If he really believes that then he's not gonna get Chelsea to where they want to be cos by his logic Chelsea are already the best team in England!
Mourinho has unfinished business there and unless he gets a job at one of the manchester clubs I can easily see him back thereOpen Controls
when bonus points will be updated?
Open Controls
Granville what’s the likely qualifying score for this members cup. Should I be worried with 60 points?
Open ControlsOhhhh, was it qualifying this GW? I may be in some trouble haha.
Open ControlsJayus now that makes me feel slightly better. That Cisse getting sent off thing was really annoying. He was flying, looks like he was going to cause damage. Then caused real damage.
But it was a very brave call in captaining him. I think you should get bravery points for ballsyness!Open Controls
Speaking from past experience, the qualifying score is always 1 or 2 points above my score. You could be in trouble.
Open Controlsif most members scored like you I could be in trouble! My first year becoming a member to see what the craic was, with it. I joined two weeks ago...
I actually have done worse since I joined! 🙂Open ControlsI'm not actually a member - that way I can pretend to myself that I don't take it waaaaay to seriously 😉
