Papiss Cisse and Hatem Ben Arfa offer some food for thought to digest over the Sunday roast, sparkling with goals and assists in Newcastle’s win at the Hawthorns. With tomorrow night’s clash at Old Trafford still to come, our members can now soak up some of the key numbers from the Gameweek so far and get our view on where the Fantasy Premier League bonus points could be heading…
Something just occured to me
1) Did Kelly start v QPR?
2) if so, what was the score when he departed?
Can't help but think Pool are suffering from lack of Agger and one of Kelly/GJOpen Controls
It's not even that tbh. We're just shit in the league under KK and that's the truth. He'll never walk alone but in the summer he should just walk away and shut the door behind...
Open Controls
Open Controlsso you think I should sell Skrtel?
Open ControlsIn all honesty yeah if you don't need to fix the team anywhere else. Much better value in Verm, Bae, Evans, Cahill etc.
Open Controlsmy current backline is Evans, Caulker, Taiwo, Santon and Skrtel
Evans obviously plays, Caulker obviously can't. So I have to play 2 otthers. Am getting Verm in this week, thought I'd do it for Tawio tbh, but I really can't decide.Open Controls
Yes I have, sick to death of Ba, today was the last straw.
Open Controls
What if Ba scores against Liverpool and Cisse doesn't? What will you do?
Open ControlsThen i'll stick to my guns, unlikely to happen based on todays evidence anyway.
Open Controls
Watching the game was so frustrating. That 3rd goal was infuriating.
Don't know what I'm going to do with Ba yet. Not sure I can bear the prospect of bringing Cisse in only for him to do nothing and Ba to score.
Have been working my way down the fixture ticker looking for inspiration but nothing really stands out. Tevez appeals to me but not for a couple of weeks yet. I'm thinking about Crouch for wig, WOL then getting Tevez for WBA, nor, wol but there are question marks over both players for different reasons.Open ControlsI honeslty don't think i've ever been so annoyed over fantasy football as I was today. pardew shifting his top goal scorer out left was a bit ridiculous but it worked for them. For me only Cisse and Ade stood out, but the extra money gained from getting Cisse will allow me to get Sess in a few weeks so that decided it. Cisse has been consistent so far and he was consistent in Germany so I hope he keeps it up.
Open ControlsI don't know what to do about Ba, think I'll sleep on it.
So will you end up taking a hit this week? I already have one transfer lined up so shifting Ba will cost me.Open Controls
Anyone got any bright ideas for a third striker?
Was thinking about taking a punt of jelavic and freeing up some funds...Open Controls
Yak
Open Controlsput off by fixtures...united tottenham liverpool chelsea
Open Controls
I have Adebayor, but if I were to move, I would look to Graham.
Open ControlsIf you don't have Evans or Valencia - Hernandez
Open Controlsi have both!
Open Controls
I have gone the Graham route on the basis of his fixtures. Frees up an extra few million for a stronger defence.
Open Controls
Thinking about Crouch for next week, he has Wigan up next and then Wolves. After his performance against Man Shitty surely he will be trying to push to get into the team for the Euros? Any thoughts?
Open Controls
Anyone playing Siggy vs Spurs just because they dont want to bench a giant score? Logically Spurs are no WBA, WIG and FUL but.......
Open ControlsI made 2 bold moves today. Skrtel + Enrique > Baines + Wilkinson for a 4 point hit. Hope it doesn't backfire.
Open Controls
I can't afford Baines ...Open ControlsAhhh. But I am eyeing up Bale ... Vermaelen, I think!
Open ControlsYou want BAE + Bale + Ade for the Spurs fixtures? All out warfare!
Ridgewell has been tucked away on my bench since I got him. Still waiting to be inspired by him and WBA.
(h) to Blackburn and QPR in the next 4 could be worth keeping for. Although they seem better away from home.Open ControlsYep. I'm a bit pissed with Woy. He seems to have stopped going for it. Still, Ridgewell hasn't noticed yet. Played well today.
Open Controls
Still might do that move, depending ...
Open Controls
Hope it works out for you, I certainly enjoyed boldly taking Enrique out yesterday morning. Why today though? No prices changing.
Open Controls
I fear you may regret making them in a few weeks time. No problems with the transfers out, mind.
Open Controls
Elite 63 qualifying score up to 1637.
Open Controls
Quick show of hands...
Would you rather have 8 points or Rooney to play?Open ControlsThe state I'm in ... Rooney.
Open Controls
8 points unless it was Rooney (c).
Open Controlshmm the 8 points is nice, but I can't see another Rooney failure.
Open ControlsRooney.
Open Controls
Thinking Ba to Coruch for 31-34 and
Crouch to Adebayor for 35-38
Other two are RVP RooneyOpen Controls
Just go straight to Adebayor this week imo
Open Controls
is a front 3 of van persie adebayor and drogba decent if your trying to catch up points?
Open ControlsHey, the troll is back!
F*ck off.Open Controlsooo what have i missed out on
Open ControlsTypical trolling stuff ... but not even the 'having a laugh' kind. More the prepubescent, patronizing, mean-spirited kind of thing.
Total twunt.
And he won't respond, he never does.Open Controls
*searches comments for SUSHI36*
Open ControlsAfter Arse played 'Pool, he claimed his dad was the Arse physio and that Arteta was a 'go' for the next week. Then, separately, he claimed that AOC, Rosicky, and Walcott were riding in the same car and that car was in an accident that seriously injured the three of them.
Open ControlsAh. An attention seeker. Parent's must not give a damn..
Open Controls
basically the youtube crowd eh! i've never understood the point of mean trolling. anyway goodnight hav a good week 🙂
Open ControlsIf an alien landed in my garden and asked me to show him the worst of mankind, I'd either take him to Leicester Square at 2am on a Saturday, or show him the comments section of a random youtube clip.
Open Controls😆
Open Controlsand the award for the most random post goes to.....
Open Controls- Open Controls
Haha YouTube would be a good place to start.
How bad is Leicester Square on a Sat night?Open ControlsIts' full of tourists, weekend warriors, plastic gangsters, chavs and people who are just generally looking for a fight. Oh, and they're all drunk and don't particularly give a shit about each other or anyone else.
I used to cycle past a couple of clubs on the way home from work sometimes and you'd see leery old men with girls too young to legally drink. Very dark.
I suppose on the plus side it has a diverse social mix.Open Controls
Apologies in advance for making the tw*t post.
My PP Cup game has come down to this. Who will win????
Me: Rooney(C) + Valencia + Evans + 13
Him: Rooney(C) + Valencia + Evans
8)Open Controlserm if you have the same 3, and he is ahead by 13, how can you possibly win?
Open ControlsTw@t. 😛
Open ControlsI'll settle it for you right now, Belha...
Well done you have won... good luck in Round Two.. 😉Open Controlslol sorry i didnt know you were lurking.
awkwarrrrd ! 😳
good luck cracking the top 100 🙂Open Controls
Right - that's me lot.
*downs glass*
Here's to Rooney ... and Young!Open Controlsnight dood and here's hoping you are right
Young FTWOpen Controls
will rooney (c), valencia and evans outscore 22?
Open Controls
I bloody hope so, in the same boat
Open Controlsvalencia 8 rooney 9x2 evans 6 imo.
Open Controls
I've decided I will not be getting Cisse because I'd rather have B Arfa at the moment. I feel more comfortable benching a midfielder than a striker and Newcastles fixtures aren't that great. Won't be making a move yet but Ba > Ade could be an option later in the week.
Open Controls
If it was anyone at the helm @ L'Pool except Kenny they'd of had the sack by now. Spending £50m on Carroll, Downing & Henderson and finishing 7th isn't much of an accomplishment, well neither is winning the 'Micky Mouse' Cup IMHO.
All agreed â“Open ControlsIm no liverpool fan but i cant say id be happy with that! Birmingham won it last year and they went down ffs!
Open Controls*£75m
Open Controls£75mill on that useless bunch!!!??!!!
and I'm here working hard all week and getting 6 quid an hour. how unfair! on the bright side though, i can be as fat as i like.Open Controls
Kenny's magic has seen him through ... but the real question is how long the Americans will stand for it. I wouldn't be surprised, if things continue along a similar path as how they have, for him to be dumped right after week 38.
Open Controls
Top in my mini league...Both nearest rivals have no united coverage...I have Evans Tony V and Rooney probably why im winning!
Open Controlsthey are either disinterested in FPL or have very unjerky knees!
Open Controlsboth still backing city! As a united fan and fpl rival i couldnt be happier 🙂
Open Controls
i have no utd cover either... which is probably why i am not doing a lot
Open Controls
Anyone know if that guy with the De Gea grav is planning on bringing in Verm and Theo this week and keeping his 3rd United spot free for Chica?
Just read through a few pages and when he's not making his own posts about it, he's commenting on everyone elses about it.Open Controls
What's your opinion on Kenny now after losing at home to Wigan.
Open Controls
Friday Night Dinner on E4 😆 started slowly but the date episode is great.
Open ControlsIn my PP cup game I need Dempsey to score 6 more than Rooney. Come on Fulham.
Open Controlsyour cloud needs a platinum lining
Open Controls
Everyone else jumping on the Arsenal bandwagon? speciffically a Walcott themed one?
Open Controlsfor the next gameweek, if you could chose a team to have you captain from who would it be?
Open Controls
Barcelona
Open Controlslmao
Open Controlshahahaha
Open ControlsHa!
Open ControlsAnd who from Barcelona?
Open ControlsMichael Laudrup of course!
.... i was referring to Barca '93 🙂Open Controls
go take your irrelevant comments up ur shitty teams arse
Open Controls
Finn Harps.
Open Controls
4012 people bought torres this week, what were you thinking?
Open Controlsso did chelsea, what were they thinking? a much more interesting question.
Open Controls
Team at the moment for GW31 (1 free transfer, 0.6m in the bank):
Krul(LIV)
Kelly(NOR) Vermaelen(qpr) Enrique(new)
Bale(SWA) Valencia(bla) Dempsey(NOR) Pilkington(ful)
Rooney(bla) RVP(qpr) Suarez(new)
subs - Vorm, Evans, Simpson, McClean
Potential transfers:
a) Enrique > Cahill
b) Enrique > Assou-Ekotto
c) Pilkington > Miyaichi
d) Pilkington > Sigurdsson
e) Suarez > Crouch
f) Anything else
What ya reckon? Any of those look worthy of my freebie?Open ControlsYeah Pilkington isn't even getting a game just now and Siggy seems the best replacement. Ben Arfa if you want to be different.
Open ControlsPilkington is just a heart attack every time the team sheets are due! In which case i should probably rethink Cahill as he's far from secure just yet
Open Controls
d) and c) stands out. I still think liverpool defense will be useful this season and I assume youve had Enrique since the start.
Open ControlsNo i brought him in for the DGW actually so have no problems with price. I actually like the look of a myself but thought i'd see what others had to say
Open Controls
News on Agger drives the decision for A & B ... but I'd prefer B just because BAE's nailed on.
C/D would be the current fav for me, Siggy's got the form(ish) and Ryo the fixtures (and decent form, too).Open ControlsAre we expecting some news on Agger anytime soon?
Open ControlsI've not heard of anticipated news ... just saying that *if* news on him, favorable news, were to come out, that would certainly shift your thinking to midfield transfers.
Open Controlsok cheers man. Nothing urgent anyway, i suspect it'll be a Friday night transfer this week for me anyhoe
Open Controls
B imo. by doing that you are converting Enriques 1 point to BAE's 6. And start Evans over Pilkington.
Open ControlsHmmmm i suppose United COULD keep us out. They do have the best away defence in the league but i always fancy us for a goal
Open Controlslol this reminds me of myself putting a fiver on Leicester to win on each of Leicesters games 😀
Open Controlslol this is true. I am a bit of an optimist.
BUT we're going for the double over that lot this year AND have plenty to play for ourselves! Surely a goal is the least we can expect? Or is that me just being optimistic again?Open Controlseventhough your judgement is pretty clouded by your love for the club, i'd have to agree that blackburn have been pretty good to watch lately and i'm expecting them to create plenty chances. its upto them to take the chances when they come though. probably yes for a blackburn goal, but i cannot see a blackburn win (sorry 🙠)
Open ControlsWell i couldn't see us getting a win at Old Trafford either but by some miracle that happened so fingers crossed!
Open Controls
C/D. Play Evans over Pilky/Enrique. I do think you have a great chance of scoring against us despite Carrick and Valenica not needed in defence this time and Rooney doesnt go for a meal before. Surely Evans has to be in your XI!
Open ControlsIt would certainly be a relief to get rid of Pilkington!
So you reckon we have a great chance of scoring but still want me to start Evans!? Fancy him to add to his goal at Wolves 😉Open ControlsThat goal vs Wolves was a massive bonus FPL points wise. Do not be expecting too much of that anytime soon!
Yeah, I do think you have a great chance of scoring but I mean no disrespect when I say this, but you got to play a Utd versus Blackburn!Open ControlsOh don't worry about disrespect, have to be neutral in fantasy football!
But still i don't get it. I think we'll score, you seem to think we'll (probably) score and yet you still think i should play Evans?! I'm assuming we have both ignored his attacking threat (or lack there of) so is it just the off chance of a cleanie?
Or you just think United have more chance of keeping us out than Liverpool and Enrique do against Newcastle?Open ControlsThe last bit
Open Controls
Thoughts on my team for next week.
Reina
Skrtel, Senderos, Evans
Bale, Valencia, Siggy, Moses, Dempsey(C)
RVP, Rooney
Subs: Ba, Kelly, Williamson, Sorensen
Who would you get rid of or be looking to change. I'm not getting rid of the Pool defence though.Open ControlsErm, what's your reason for that? Newcastle are surely favourites to beat Liverpool at the weekend, and Kelly is at home to Norwich. Can't see Newcastle not scoring either.
Open ControlsVery red and white feel to it, Mose's will stick out a bit 🙂
Open Controls
Did you catch the match this weekend Crouchy? Cisse let us down again, what an idiot
Open ControlsUnbelievable, they were piss poor anyway, don't understand why they just don;t go out and give it a real go every game, sod all to lose now.
Open ControlsI think our best hope is every team will now write us off as shít and we will capitalise! Nomar reckons we are as good as gone
Open Controlsonly point I can make is all five teams aren't good enough, so they could stay up by default. Don't care too much once the board stay with them, be a shame because i reckon they would set solid foundations for next year were they to survive.
Open Controls
Looks fine to me as long as you're keeping faith with Liverpool. Talking of which i may well end up keeping hold of Suarez. Can't find anyone i want to sell him for!
Gonna look at sorting out your other keeper anytime soon or is it Reina every week till the end?Open ControlsOne for the rest of the season. Made the transfer for this GW thinking the clean sheet was banked... Also they'll look to tighten up at the back after the last 2 defeats.
Open Controlslol yeah i vaguely remember you telling me Liverpool were going to get 8 more clean sheets or something like that. Not going to plan that one 🙂
Open Controls
Hello ev1..missed out on all the fun on here for the weekend, as thankfully my real life took over for a change. I'm on 28 (-4) with Rooney (non Cap), Evans and Valencia to go.
So, I'd say sorta average....fill me in please on what I missed. I have MOTD on the Sky box for tomoro evening.....who is the new must haves and bagonwheels?Open Controls+ Cisse, Ben Arfa, Walcott
- Everybody who was + last week
You should be glad you haven't been here over the weekend. Thoroughly miserable lot!Open ControlsA tale of two Cisse's!
Open ControlsBen Arfa looks worth a shout. Crouch scored the goal of the season (Yes Crouch!). Walcott bandwagon picking up the pace.
and most importantly, you missed out on Britains Got Talent.Open ControlsThe biggest bandwagons this week will be shifting of Demba Ba, shifting Lpool defenders and getting Theo or Verm in.
Open ControlsSimply *everyone* is trading Ba for PCisse/'Dave'
Oh, and Suarez demonstrated his scrote-ness by celebrating another handball goal 😀Open ControlsWhat are you doing with him KE?
Open ControlsBleurgh. No idea. Don't really care to slide to Papa - but don't see many other great choices.
Luckily, I have massive issues with my so-called defense that need sorting out ... so Ba's bench fodder and in a week or two I hope the third striker will reveal themselves.
Wouldn't be the worst idea for me to pick up the cheapest starting striker and use the dosh elsewhere. Nothing illegal about playing only two forwards.Open ControlsI have McClean and Siggy with tough fixtures so I need a 3rd striker who I am happy with. Unless I do McClean --->Miyachi and play 3-5-2 but cant bring myself to get Ryo!
Plus I want shot of Skrtel too.Open ControlsMy heart can't take sitting Siggy again this year. And McClean's got Sess back.
I hear what you're saying, though.Open Controls
totally forgot about that.
RoysCallerAnne - Suarez's goal was given and about a minute later the goal was disallowed and suarez was shown a yellow for handball 😀 suarez owners were pretty pissed off xDOpen Controlsoh Jebus, I own him, glad I missed that..
Open Controls
Good lads, nice summation. I don't know what a Britains Got Talent is...I might sign him though, if I get enough approval on here.
Open Controls
Any chance of Silva dropping tonight folks? Finally shipping him out but wouldn't mind putting it on hold until tomorrow...
Open ControlsHe should be fine, nobody is transferring this late.
Open ControlsYou do know people from outside England/Britain play this game, right?
Open ControlsDon't think he realises people play the game outside our timezone. Bless.
Open ControlsRude!
Open Controls
Well yeah obviously, but not a lot of transfers occur at this time, as in not enough to make him go down this morning imo.
Open Controlsobviously... 😀
Open ControlsI did have a mental block and forgot that, obviously I'm an idiot.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdX8y_xkz14Open Controlsha!
I'm only joshing.... but we will see if he goes down in price tonight. My own view is that anyone in the nineties is at risk and those that are as highly owned as Silva are at particular riskOpen ControlsHe's got the second highest number of NTO today, but we shall see!
The first thing I will check tomorrow is whether he has fallen or not. 😆Open Controls
Yes, every chance he will
Open Controls
Target - 21036
Now - 20029
1007 more to go
Maybe not yet to dropOpen ControlsThanks chaps, think I'll chance it and wait.
Open ControlsIf the 0.1 doesn't matter to your plans then just wait till Friday night or Saturday morning. If it does or you are the type that chases team value then do it now as i personally think he will drop.
Open Controls
tight, but looks ok tonight.
Open Controls
Hmmm thinking about doing....
Enrique > Cahill
Moses > Walcott
Suarez > CisseOpen Controls
