Mick McCarthy and Fernando Torres were the Gameweek 26 headline-makers as Wolves brought Man United’s unbeaten run to an end and the £50m ex-Liverpool forward made a miserable start to life at Stamford Bridge, thanks to Kenny Dalglish’s revitalised Merseysiders. Here’s our regular Members article, casting an eye over the weekend’s OPTA stand-outs, ahead of the upcoming double Gameweek…
So difficult! To difficult for a teacher-student from Norway. I need some help! What do you guys think of this wild-card team??
Foster (Begovic)
Huth, Dawson, R. Johnson (Kolarov, Coleman)
Fabregas, Etherington, Barton, Nani, Walcott
Van Persie, Odemwingie (Saha)
6,5 in bank.
Six players that don`t play gw. 28, but Begovic, Kolarov, Coleman and Saha covers 4 of them with easy matches, and planning to get in Tevez and United player for a hit aswell.
Suggestions?Open Controlsthink you have things well planned and your team looks decent
Open ControlsNolan for Barton .. imo
Open ControlsI would get in tevez straight away, you need him and saves you a transfer, then i would get in Cahill instead of Saha as everton cover and go for Bent upfront instead. Ditching Fabs could get you a really nice bunch of midfielders aswell in the mid-upper price pracket, such as VdV, Cahill, Meireles or Young, alongside walcott and Nani. Maybe Brunt or Bentley then instead of Barton as the 5th midfielder.
Well, this is just my opinions, so take it for what you want and good luck whatever you doOpen ControlsWhat's up with Malouda sitting again?
Open Controls
On my wildcard.... trying to maximise the double gameweek without leaving myself short for GW28 is a pain.
VDV and Adam I expected to be big points earners but both have injury and suspension hanging over them.
Also going to have drop one of Nani or Tevez to the bench.
Whats everyone doing with Charlie?Open ControlsI dont know how long you have had Nani but if you have had him as long as me, he'll be expensive to pick back up again and MU play a double the following week, so I would hold on to him and let Tevez go for now instead.
Open Controls
Don't blame me. 🙂
Hunter is just a prize prick who thinks he is god's gift to FF and the head honcho of this site.Open ControlsWOW 8 transfers. Looks like somebody forgot to press the wildcard button.
Open Controls
Trying to decide between Captaining Fabs or RVP, any suggestions? I know RVP is getting corners, free kicks and pens but I've heard that he is questionable on playing both games..........
Open ControlsRVP for sure
Open ControlsFab for me.
Open ControlsDepends on what you think your closest rivals will do and whether you are chasing/leading. Personally i am going for fabregas because he is much more likely to play both games being captain and a lack of players to replace him
Open Controlsthe fabregas captaincy love is based on history rahter than current form, the "he is due a haul soon syndrome" which ofcourse could go right one time or the other, but all logics and rational thinking points to RvP this gw imo
Open Controls
Will Tim Cahill start this weekend?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AKjGFFUyC3M&feature=relatedOpen ControlsWait until gw 28, there are much better options this week.
Open Controls
Quick poll - if you had to bench one, who would you bench out of Rooney or Nani this week?
Open ControlsBench Rooney
Open ControlsBoth, my bench has Berbs, Nani and Vidic, I dont want to get rid of any them because of there double next GW but I dont expect much from them against MC this GW.
Open ControlsVidic to score. City are REALLY POOR on Free kicks defending
Open Controls
Probably Rooney - I think Utd will play 4-4-1-1, with Berba up top and Rooney helping out in midfield. Could be something like:
Giggs - Anderson - Fletcher - Nani
with Giggs tucking in and Rooney dropping back towards left midfield.Open ControlsThanks, was swaying towards that, although don't expect much from either of them.
Definitely starting Vidic as 0-0 seems a distinct possibility.
Would I be mad to start Coleman over Nani?!Open ControlsI'm the last person you want to ask about Coleman, I keep dropping him when he scores, and playing him when he gets 1 point.
I'm benching him, so you should probably play him...Open ControlsKatie has a theory that you should always play your OOP defs, and he/she is doing OK this season...

I love the mics they have at Barcelona games that make the post sound wonderful as Messi/Iniesta hit it on the way in with their goals over the last few weeks.

Nice!
Gargamel, if you're about, cheers for the tip on +3.5 goals for the Holland / Austria game, worked out nicely!Open Controls

as he says that to the right of him on SSN is says 'Fulham - 10 games 0 goals.'Open Controlshaha
Open ControlsHahahaha
Open ControlsGroan. Couldn't they get Tino or Shearer out of retirement?
Open ControlsThere is a poll you may want to vote on, At Bum...
http://elmasqueunblog.blogspot.com/Open ControlsHaha as if you needed to ask! For a team facing a dogfight to stay up there is only one right answer there - and it's not the fancy pants players.
Messi would be my second choice, Ronaldo well, I'd rather have fat Ronaldo, or anyone else than him.Open ControlsI promise I only voted once! Obviously lots of folk round here who know their onions. 🙂
Open Controls
if carroll is worth 35 mil kuqi is worth about 25mil. you've got a bargian there
Open ControlsI like him. Used to love watching the big lummox come on and batter a few centre halves. Although tbf that was about 5 years ago!

I want to see Ranger play..leave that old man on the bench!Open Controls
Want to get rid of N'Zog this week for a dgw player. I really want Walcott or poss Lennon but this would leave me with 6 non players if Spurs/Ars doesn't go ahead gw28. Alternatives like Brunt/Thomas/Adam/Ethers etc leaving me cold. Any suggestions?
Open ControlsConsidering dropping Adam for Brunt this week given the chances of Adam picking up a card, which would screw the double up and leave me short for GW28. Am I being crazy?
Open Controlsthen I am crazy too
Adam is leaving my wc team for bentley or bruntOpen Controls
Any fantasy CL players? How are you building your team? Messi/Ronaldo + 2 other midpriced strikers, or both and someone else cheaper?
Open Controlsetoo?

Team for GW27
Foster (Stockdale)
Huth, R.Johnson, Coleman, Williamson (Vidic)
Fabs, VDV, Nolan, Adam (Nani)
Odenwingie, RVP (Berbs)Open ControlsSooo (repost):
a) Djourou > Huth, VdV > Walcott
OR
b) a + Rooney > Odemwingie (4pt 'hit')Open ControlsTeam as is:
Foster (Kingson)
Djourou Kelly R.Johnson (Coleman Rafael)
VdV Fabregas Adam Nani (Ferguson)
Rooney RvP TevezOpen ControlsIf you havent had Tevez for long, I would toss him for Odenwingie instead and hold onto Rooney for MU double on GW28 and pick Tevez back up the GW after.
Open ControlsSee what you're saying there but Tevez has gone up 0.9 since I got him, Rooney only gone up 0.2. Don't wanna miss out if Odemwingie gets a few goals!
Open ControlsMakes sense, thats why I said only if you havent had Tevez for long, toss Rooney then and grab him back next GW then. I was going to toss Nani for this GW but I cant let him go, I've had hime for months now and I couldnt afford to get him back if I ever let him go.

well gang, this is tough again. trying to decide whether to drop djourou or not (might not play both) for someone who plays GW28, what do people think? Also my bench is Vidic, Tevez, Nani...is that madness?
Open Controlsdont drop djourou and keep nani & tevez.. drop vidic
Open ControlsIm considering a similar thing mate...either that or a Brum defender. Not sure Djourou worth it if no DGW...but he is very cheap!
Open Controlsno point in getting brum in either - no fixture the week after. its either drop djou djou now for free or have to spend 4 or even 8 trying to piece together a team!
Open Controlsrealised that as I said it yes! If you want him logn term and can handle him out 28...not bad to keep, he has decent fixtures.
I have just got 2 changes anmd so need to make one, not sure where to go!Open Controlsthink i'll buy simpson or someone and get him back after 28 is over!thanks for the help!
Open ControlsConsidering that too now I look at it..haha
Great ranking btw..keep it up!
Sorry I havent been much help, half working too and didnt look very ahrd at fixtures before I replied!
Good luckOpen Controls
4 point hit to bring a Birmingham defender .. worth it ? whats the chance they will have 2 CS
Open ControlsEven without a clean sheet, the 2 extra points they'll get for playing time should cover the difference on the 4pt hit and then you have the chance of a couple clean sheets and maybe a goal since Birm defenders are known for scoring. Downside is that they wont play GW28 but then GW29 should be worth it in the long run.
Open ControlsNO WAY!
Open Controls
Assuming that Man U Chelsea is called off where do you see the points going GW28.
Obviously you can't predict that well but there seems to be a lot of 'better' teams away to 'worse' teams. Typically games which end up as scrappy draws or 0-1/1-2 type score lines. Given this I'm not sure how bothered I'll be about getting 11 players out and may accept getting a slightly lower score that week.
What do people think?Open Controlsgutted i missed the denmark game last night. had some great eriksen puns.
he's very mobile.
i think morton olsson will be calling on him for a long time to come.
he got a great reception.Open Controlsi aggeree...
Open ControlsPure class that young Eriksen! So smart, so technical and so mobile! Freekicks like Beckham aswell! A rising superstar!
Open ControlsApt how to only thing from technical, mobile, smart and freekicks that was attributed to Beckham was the latter. 🙂

Top fantasy tips from FootballFarrago - European 'Enablers'
http://www.footballfarrago.com/2011/02/fantasyfarrago-10-knockout-european.htmlOpen ControlsAfter struggling with the wildcard all week i have decided many of the double week players are simply not worth the bother , especially midfielders. so have settled on the following
Foster Bergovic
Simpson Huth R johnson (kolorov coleman)
Fabregas Bentley young Brunt (Cahill)
Odnewinge Van Persie Bent
With Tevez coming in next week to make up the 11 for gw 28
then saha in for 29 to give 6 doublers in that week
thoughts?Open ControlsWho are you taking out for Tevez?
