With Liverpool due to bring Gameweek 24 to a conclusion with their Anfield clash with Fulham tonight, it’s time to cast our minds back to the weekend to give our Members a closer look at some of the key performances that may have slipped under the radar…
First!!
Open Controls
88 with Pantsil, torres and Kelly left, i'd love to somehow get over a 100 but we'll see..
Open Controls
74 with reina 🙁
Open Controls
Quick poll - should I play Kingson or Foster this week?
Open Controls
tough call. but probs foster for me
Open Controls
Cheers. I was leaning towards Foster as well due to the fact that Blackpool never look like keeping a clean sheet. West Ham at home is tempting though (as it was when I picked Coleman this week). On that note - Foster it is!
Open Controls
In which will today match affect Birmingham Tiple at gw 27?
thanks!Open Controls
god, just worked out that i'd have 142 if i'd have capt. berbs. arse!
AND with torres kelly and (oops)stockdale to play.
I predict 20 shots saved from torres with 3 assists for a kelly hat-trick. liverpool to keep a cleanie.
that should sort out my silly picks! 🙂Open Controls
142? how did you work that one out?
Open Controls..with a broken calculator, it forgot to remove the double points from nani. soooo... lets make that 132. heh heh heh. 🙂
Open Controls
for the huge double game week in 27.most have said there having 10 or 11 double game weekers. who do people deem as essentiual for that game week?
top 3 pleaseOpen Controls+1
Open Controls
Ferguson/Jara/Foley
Open ControlsBrunt, Adam & a sure-starter from arsenal
Open Controls
A brum defender, two Arsenal attacking players. Probably a west brom attacking player (Brunt or Odim).
Obviously which attackin arsenal player does best etc. is a lottery.Open Controlsyeh thinking i might take a last min hit on the last arsenal attacking player probs go for rvp but your right its a gamble. no one thinking cahill or anewcastle player?
Open Controls
The harder question is who do you captain? The obvious choice is Van P or Fabregas BUT there must be a huge question mark over them both playing the first fixture (Wolves home) as they have Barca midweek after it.
So, if they are too much of a risk, who then?Open Controls
RMWCT:
Gordon - Begovic
Vidic - Kolarov - Coleman - Djorou - Kelly
Nani - Nasri - VDV - Dempsey - Adam
Tevez - Berbatov - Van Persie
Can downgrade Vidic to upgrade Dempsey to Cahill once he's back
Questions:
Kolarov or Bosingwa?
Djorou - how safe is his place?
Keep Adam or not?
Thanks!Open ControlsKol
Not very
Get shot of him if he leavesOpen ControlsThanks. I would need someone similarly cheap instead of Djorou. I might keep him in for now and then swap him for Birmingham's Murphy for GW27?
Adam - I've only just realised that beautiful fact that we will know where his future lies before the next deadline as the transfer window closes the day before. If he stays I keep him, if he goes I probably swap him for Etherington.Open ControlsHmmm look at Murphy from Bham & Simpson from Newcastle good price and cheap
Exactly mate, gotta love midweek GWs.Open Controls
"I think with the improvement of Arsenal’s defense Djourou would have to consider himself unlucky if he was dropped. However that’s just my opinion and I wish I knew where Wenger stands on that too."
- Jamess, arsenal fan, in answer to the same Q about djourou that i asked.
I guess we will have to wait and see..Open Controlskolarov
80% safe
at blackpool, keep himOpen Controls
32 point deficit on league leader who know’s absolutely nothing about football and am quite embarrassed so have decided to wildcard leaving me with this team:
Foster (Begovic)
Bosingwa Kelly Djourou (Coleman Murphy)
Fabregas Nani VDV Adam (Toure)
RVP(c) Berbatov Tevez
Any suggestions as to how I can make it better ? 😀Open Controls
by getting rid of bosingwa.
Open ControlsGordon is better value than Foster long term (cheaper and more chance of clean sheets).
Your team shows how you can have a decent defence on an absolute shoestring. Just be prepared to make a few transfers and possibly take a few hits sorting it out as other players come into favour.
Midfield - looks pretty awesome (4 same as mine!)
Strikers - look awesome (all same as mine!)Open Controls
brunt,
hard fixtures for the other 2Open Controls
A police officer is walking through a building. From the other side of a closed door he hears a woman shout "No David, don't shoot me!", then a gun shot.
He kicks down the door, and sees a woman lying dead on the floor, with a gun next to her. Standing in the room there's a Judge, a Plumber and a Postman.
He immediately arrests one of the three for the murder.
Whom did he arrest, and why?Open Controls
Katie, I won manager of the month in my work can league.
Had I gone with Nani captain, I would have lost by a point!
Your last-minute insistence on Berbatov being the right way to go is again very much appreciated!Open Controls
judge judy, surely?
Open Controls
Probably one was a man and the other women. The postMAN perhaps?
Open Controls
The Judge. The other two would be Dave rather than David.
Open ControlsSoop - eating expired chicken soup again?
Open Controls
They're all wrong - the judge, who was her husband, shot her for having sex with the plumber and the postman ... 😉
Open Controls
By the way, credit in this case goes to this person:

For GW 27:
Must have:

Midfield: Totenham, (adam), Arsenal, WBA
Forwards: Arsenal, WBA,
anything else?
What do u think?Open Controls

A women from a city marries 10 guys. Shes not breaking any laws, how is this possible?
Open Controls
Fantasy football is too addictive, one of my mates asked me the other day if I'd never play again if offered £10000...
Got me wondering what people on here would do...Open ControlsHow about a grand?
Open Controls
I'd snap his hand off, then go and tweek my fantasy cricket team.
Open Controls
£10,000! Tell your mate he has a deal! Because as much as i love FF, i hate it aswell!
Open ControlsI kind of like you after all but I'm sure someone can put that money up for such a good cause
Open Controls
A man's been caught masturbating in a newsagents.
Apperently it's all over the papers.
Soop, you might need to start that limo againOpen Controls
asked on last post but got lost
whats everyones selling value if u remove every player?
unsure how mine compares as hard to tell if some teams values r high due to carroll nani etcOpen Controls
102.7
I thouht it might be a little lower than that... I've made some right losses on the market this year!Open Controls99.7+5.7=105.4
Open Controls103.6
Open Controls
102.7
Open Controls
103.3
Open Controlsim quite happy with my 103.3 then as ive never made a transfer more than a day before the deadline (i dont think) for value reasons
Open ControlsYeah seems anything around 103 is pretty standard. I don't know about you but rarely this season have I had a 'I can't afford X' moment.
Open Controls
104.9
Booyah!
Should come very handy when playing my wildcard.Open Controlsnot bad considering u havent wc'd yet
how u doin neway? why no link?Open ControlsBecause having a black name is retro, and it goes well with the picture of NB52. 😉
Team --> http://fantasy.premierleague.com/M/eventhist.mc?id=28
Not too bad for this week considering I haven't wildcarded, and I don't have Berbatov.Open Controlslooking on course for a top 10k finish id say
yeh no berb hurt me this week but a low scoring game tonight and i could be right up there without him
just really hoping for a torres blankOpen ControlsI'm still ambitiously hoping for a top 1k finish!! Would need the double in week 27 to be absolutely huge though....
Open ControlsStill very possible. Correct capt choice in gw27 and your there.
Open Controlsim finding it very hard to get myself back up into the top 1k, hopin with a well set up wildcard and a transfer plan i can get back in there
Open Controls
I'm finding it hard to stay in the top 100.
Open ControlsTry harder.
Open Controls
Jealous much?
Hadn't heard of FFS until this season.Open ControlsWow. Never expected such a negative reaction to saying I'm struggling to stay in the top 100. I was being genuine.
Thus far I've made better decisions than you guys. We'll see who is where at the end of the season.Open Controls
103 exactly
Open Controls
WTF

Why would anyone want to hire that berk? The Black Eye Peas are terrible these days.Open Controls
Kingson Foster
Vidic Hangeland Skrtel Bardsley Simpson
Nani VdV Nasri Adam Cleverley
Berbatov RVP Torres
1 transfer to play with as in WC next week, any ideas?
Thinking a punt on Chesney in nets or Walcott in for Nasri, bit crabby tho!Open Controls
Richard Keys - bell end. Clearly panicking big time, blaming the media, talking in the third person, desperate, saying he has the decsion whether to work on at Sky Sports. The most annoying hirsute weedy little toss pot.
Open ControlsDo TalkSport have an online feature where you can listen to old interviews? All this chatter about Keys' interview has me intrigued....
Open Controls
He comes across as such a desperate-to-impress-the-big-boys dickhead in the latest youtube clip. No sympathy for him, he seems like a Office/Partridge style caricature of a weak man trying to impress.
Open ControlsBang on. He is now blaming the fact they had Matt Murray in the studio and the 'banter' was to make him feel comfortable. He classes his studio as his dressing room.
He protests too much.
He made a flippant comment that men make, as women do about men. 99% of the time it is said with humour. He is acting so guilty he is clearly in the 1% true sexist men out there.
He is practically begging on the radio. This will do him way more harm then good.Open Controls
I still remember him asking Steve McClaren why he had more defenders than strikers in one of his England squads. What a chancer, he's done well to get 20 years' worth of football presenting on a major channel.
Open Controls
hows this for a riddle
GW25 - I dont use my 1 free transfer
GW26 - I use my WC
GW27 - I have two free transfers but only use 1
GW28 - i have two free transfers?Open ControlsNope. It does not rhyme.
Open Controls
If you WC in GW26 you won't have 2 frees in GW27, only one.
Open Controls
Besides 'ignore the captains poll' are there any general tips people use when picking captain every week? I havent got one right so far this season and it is killing me. My mini league rival seems to get them right every time and its hurting my team even though I have a better balance of players
Open ControlsGive yourself a break. You are ranked in the top 3K.
Open Controlsmy captain picks have been terrible all season, last season i tended to get them spot on, makes a massive difference but no real tips just pick who u think and hope for the best
Open ControlsI know guys im trying not to stress but its the glory (and 160 quid) at stake! I tried captaining some high risk/high reward choices some weeks and even when I tried captaining safe options it just fails!
Open Controls
having exactly the same season. 'Safe' options not been right consistently enough. My mini league leader has got away with some very different choices...which is annoying.
Open Controls
You seem to be doing well even if you aren't picking good captains. There's no easy to pick a good captain. I've been having terrible luck myself!
Open Controls
Quick queston, a or b for the rest of the season
a. Foster & Kelly
b. Al-Hasbi & Kolarov
(Bearing in mind I have Begovic)Open Controls
Why come Ferdinand didn't play either Utd fixture this week?
Open Controlscause i brought him in. sorry
Open Controls
Just noticed that there's now a 'Cup' section in the members area...
Booyah!Open ControlsCheers, jamsiep - completely forgot! 🙂
Open Controls
What are some must have for DGWK27.
Foster
Everton defender ( Coleman?) , Brum defender ( Murphy?), Arsenal defender ( Djourou? still starting?)
MID: Arsenal( Cesc, nasri , walcott) / everton ( cahill,arteta) / west brom ( Brunt, Dorrans? starter?)/ blackpool midfield ( Adam)
ATTK: Arsenal attack ( RVP) / West brom( Odem)
Who do u guys see as necessary to have ?Open ControlsI'm not sure that I'd double up on West Brom, even with their two nice fixtures that week.
Open ControlsIt's not my team. I wasnt going to double up on West Brom since would need to get rid again. Just want to see who you guys have in mind
Open ControlsAh, fair enough. I'm waiting to see what happens to Arsenal v Spurs in GW28 (due to be rescheduled to make way for the Carling Cup final, but could still fall in GW28) before I make any big plans for GW27.
Open Controls
Also how many Arsenal players are you trying to get in there?
Open Controls
If Carroll is back playing then he'd be in.
Open Controls
Nils Petersen of Energie Cottbus is being linked with a move to Blackburn. Can you imagine the confusion amongst the commentators if that deal would go through?
Open Controls
Anyone who is not used their wildcard yet thinking of using it for GW26, and then not making any transfers (barring injuries/bans) GW27 so they have 2 free transfers to change it a bit. Might make it a bit easier getting players in just for the DGW who you might not want longer term.
Open ControlsI was considering that but then again you'd get a team that is not really optimal for GW26 instead. Depending on what players you are planning on getting in it doesen't really matter when you play your wc.
Open Controls
The DGW 27 players have excellent fixtures in GW 26?
Open ControlsIn that case it's an excellent idea. I haven't really looked in to the fixtures in gw 26 nor 28, just saying it might not be optimal depending on what players you transfer in. Should have added a "might" in my previous post too since I obviously didn't have a clue :P.
