RCA, just listened to your presser, hilarious 😀 A couple of low blows in there 🙂

G: DDG
D: Evans - Azipilcueta - Wilson - Pearce
M: Mata - Walcott (vc) - Bale (C) - Sissoko
F: RVP - Anichebe
B: Tremmel - Gerrard - Suarez - DaviesOpen ControlsAre Bemba Da, Bareth Gale & Barren Dent all the same person?
Open ControlsGB - I know it's you.
Open ControlsI agree
Open ControlsWell you've named everyone at some point so good chance you will be able to buggu it.... 😉
Open ControlsNo! I only named you, TheGame, and CS. And now GB 😀 So that's only 4. But this time, I'm sure...I think? 😀

Quite liking TotelFootball, (the aim is to basically pick the dream-team.) Here's m current team for this weekend:
Foster
Baines...Evra...Walker...Reither
Bale...Walcott...Snodgrass...Sissoko
Giroud...Lukaku
Anyone not there you think could score big this week?Open ControlsUm... Van Persie? 😐
Open Controls
So my dilemma for this week has boiled down to this
Dawson vs Stephen Taylor
Both will need to play this GW and GW 29 for sure. And be rotatable parts of my back 3 or 4 until the next huge DgW when I will use my WC along with harte and Wilson.
Dawson is an excellent option at his price, but the fixtures are just so bad for defensive Tott options and that is making me consider Taylor who has great fixtures for the 2 formerly named Gameweeks where I will need him 100%.
Any thoughts on why I should reconsider my thinking?Open ControlsI'd say taylor due to fixtures, but be wary of his injury record
Open Controls
Gerrard to Silva, Cazorla, Fellaini or Sissoko?
Open ControlsWould it be possible for someone to enlighten me on the GW29 situation? Been out the loop the last couple of days
Open ControlsCurrently got Suarez, Puncheon, Fletcher
thinking of switching to Bale, 5.0 striker and then Sturridge in after the blank.
Thoughts?Open ControlsStick or twist?
Open Controls
Is there any point delaying the uarez out , Aguero in transfer?
Even if Bale or someone is injured in a eiuro game i would still need
to take out Suarex , the only hing that can go wrong is Aguero falling ill or injuring himself,
and even if he did i doubt Mancini would tell anypne , so there no point waiting
right?Open ControlsNo.
Open Controls
What's me Pepin? I hope I'm not getting full jontied 🙁
Open ControlsYou = Cappiss = Barren Dent = Bareth Garry
Open Controls😯 I'm afraid not. Never even heard of Gareth Garry before...
Open Controls
This talk of game cancellations and future double gameweeks is making my head hurt.
Anyone wanna go get a little high?Open ControlsIf you bring your towel.
Open Controls
Who's your captain choice? I want RVP as my captain but I doubt he will play since he played in FA cup, Sir Alex probably think to rest him. my 2nd choice is Walcott.
Open ControlsWalcott easy for me.
Open ControlsCaptain Giroud.
Open ControlsHe was rested in the FA cup
Arsenal are going be unbalanced by toninght , did you see the players bickeriong amongst themselves after the first goal?
Plus Villa appear to be making progress , would rather capt Benteke than WalcottOpen ControlsYou underestimate Arsenal imo.
Open Controls
lukaku not even a punt these days
where as cisse isOpen ControlsGametime is a concern though, or else I'd be all over Lukaku! Liking Newcastle's fixtures though and Cisse up top has got to deliver soon... Just can't decide!
Open Controls
Lukaku blank vs Chelsea?
Open Controls
Urgh. Everyone's copied me copying Bemba 🙁
Open ControlsNope. I am literally just Cappis Pisse 😀 I've been lurking for a few months and wanted to make an account everyone will remember. Now everyone is copying 🙁

Alright chaps, 0.2 in bank, 1 FT
Begovic / Bunn
Zabaleta / Sagna / Davies / Harte / Bertrand
Bale / Walcott/ Michu / Fellaini / Puncheon
Van Pricey / Suarez / Sturridge
A) Suarez to Aguero
B) Suarez to Aguero & Bertrand to Wilson (4 pt hit)
I was assuming A as I thought (perhaps wrongly) that Wilson would need to score 4 more points than Bertrand THIS GAMEWEEK for the 4 point hit to be justified, but then the 4 point hit would only need to be made up long term (until I use my other WC), because Bertrand will score ~0 each GW (not playing) and Wilson is back and even 2 pointers will make back the 4 point hit pretty soonish.
Is this reasonable and correct thinking for B, and if so, is B the right option of the two?
CheersOpen ControlsDavies and Guthrie > Wilson, Schneiderlin + 0,1 , yay or nay ?? 🙂
Open ControlsNope. I wouldn't do a -4 if one of the players you're getting in is Scnderlin. Guthrie may well come back into the no.10 spot for McDermott. They have a love/ hate relationship and Guthrie only missed out last time because of a baby arrival.
Open ControlsSchneiderlin? No
Open Controls
Bit stuck on this one, help appreciated, both options involve -4 ;
(a) Gerrard, Michu -> Walcott, Sissoko.
(b) Gerrard, Suarez -> Cazorla, Aguero.
Don't look at the rest of my team, just go with your gut feeling. Thanks!Open ControlsYou can't go Sissoko and Aguero? That'd be my choice.
Open ControlsAre you short of doing B but Walcott instead of Cazorla?
To be honest I would just do Gerrard > Walcott or Suarez to Aguero, either of them for free, but that's just my opinionOpen Controls
Captain and Vice Captain out of this lot ?? Thanks 🙂
A. Mata
B. RVP
C. Bale
D. Aguero
E. FellaniOpen ControlsSchneiderlin okay just as a back up 5th mid ? Will be on my bench most of the time 🙂
Open ControlsTransfer done
Suarez to Aguero
Only decision now is
Jussi or Bego in goal?Open Controlsdammit gerrard dropping again....... guess ill have to make my sissoko tranny early, anyone else doing the same?
Open ControlsTempted! Don't think 0.1 means enough to me at this stage though
