Moses anyone?
Open Controls
No thanks.
Open Controls
Suarez price drop makes no diff to my selling price so I'll return to that tomorrow when we might know a bit more.
Open Controls
Principle over points for me on this one. Ditched him tonight.
Open Controls
What a load of bollocks.
Let me guess, you brought in someone who drives without insurance?Open ControlsWas that even what he did? I know it was some kind of driving offence...
Open Controls
You wouldn't have got him if principle was important.

Aguero/Kone/____
A)anichebe and hazard and 1.6,can do yaya to silva for example;
B)fellaini and defoe.Open Controls
Final thought on Suarez....I love em...Suarez,,Gazza, ,Maradonna, Cantona Di Canio,,,and countless others..Nutters...but by god they don't half get us talking...
Open ControlsI just can't put him with those bunch.
Open ControlsSame for other sports as well...Alex Higgins...John Macenroe...all sorts of folk in all sorts of sports..It'd be dull world if they were all like Gary Lineker or Stephen Hendry...
Open ControlsMaybe when enough years pass and I forget he's a cheater/diver/biter.
Once I hated Vieira. . .Open Controls
6 out of the last 7 appearances for Defoe have been as a sub.
He was starting regularly before that though. Was that when Ade was injured?
I'd love to know if Defoe was going to start both DGW games, but with Ade in the squad, I don't even think the team next weekend can give me any guarantees.
Sad face.Open Controls
Defoe was 1st choice at the start. The reason he`s been a sub a lot of the games these past few months is a comination of poor form and Ade returning to the first team. I feel pretty confident that if he start the weekend, he`s back in. Especially with him getting the goal today and Ade doing sweet fckall, again. Im strongly considering a punt on JD trouble.
Open ControlsEven if he gets 120 minutes in the DGW, I'm thinking he might be a better option than Kone. I have Maloney as Wigan attacking cover anyway.
You think he will feature heavily in the next 3 then?Open ControlsYeah. AVB clearly likes him over Adebayor, atleast imo. The fact that he`s a strikers striker who stays up top and has a finish on him is clearly valueable when only having 1 striker. I`d give a decent shout for starting both DGW games if he start the weekend, unless he plays absolutely horrible. Konè doesnt fancy me at all.
Open ControlsYou're probably not his type, don't let it get to you.
If I'm being honest, I was just going with Kone for certain starts and more Wigan cover, but I really like the idea of getting Defoe in. I like him as a player and Spurs are capable of scoring a few in the next 3.Open ControlsI quite like his hairstyle if im honest, he pulls it off atleast.
Well, yeah. Soton at home and a Chelsea with nerves on their sleeves and conceding a lot to the top teams could mean goals. Thing is, its one of two ways. Spurs needs to win. So either they go ham and create lots of chances and play well, or they choke and dont and Bale have to bail them out, again. I think theres higher potential to Defoe than Konè, assuming he gets the starts.Open ControlsIt's only a game after all ....
I can't see Kone scoring 4 in 2 games to punish me, put it that way.Open Controls
10 goals in 12 vs wigan, adebayor been woeful lately. He'll start IMO.
Open ControlsThanks he's also scored reasonably well vs SOT (4 in 7), i'm bringing in Defoe myself this week but not sure who to take out from Remy/Lambert any advice?
The other player will be transferred out for Kone next week.Open Controls
I swear half of those came in one game 🙂
Open ControlsYou just don't forget 50 pts from one player. 🙂
Open Controls
5 in one game.
Open Controls
Gotta take a risk/punt sometimes. This might be the perfect example of such a case.
Open ControlsYeah, very true. I really think if he gets me even 210 minutes in the next 2 GWs, he will score more than Kone.
Plus, I once saw him score for the England U21s and said he was the new Ian Wright. Francis Jeffers got a hat-trick that night 😯Open Controls
I am looking to play my wild card this week to take advantage of spurs man city and chelsea's easyish fixtures plus the dgw.
Could someone RMWCT
Hart* Elliot
Vert" Ivan* Zaba* Martin Demel
Bale" Mata* Michu* Walcott Maloney*
DeFoe* Tevez* Kone*Open Controls
Is Coutinho worth keeping onto with the inevitable Suarez ban, any idea how this might effect his minutes?
Thanks.Open ControlsSuarez -> Sturridge for LIverpool. If anything Coutinho should be more secure now, even though he played a stinker today.
Open Controls
for GW36
a) RvP and Vert (have Dawson)
b) RvP and Komps (have Nasty)
c) Aguero and Vert (have Tevez)
d) Defoe and Komps (just about to get Bale)Open Controls
if C and D involve ditching RVP, i think i could be tempted by A or B since i already count 5 DGW'ers on your team with either of those choices. Do you have anymore coverage besides those 5?
Open ControlsGot in Tevez last night and just got Bale. Plan on getting Mata and one of those 2 defenders so that leaves 9.
Open Controls
Need to get rid of Giroud! I have 0.8 in the bank, what should I do?
Team linked.Open Controls
I got Saurez for 9.4 and want to take the value before he drops will he go down tonight or can i sleep on it?
Open Controls
Transfers done two freebies
Caz out
Bucktooth vampire out
Tevez in
Bale in
Dont like early transfers but didnt want see bucktooth in my team a moment longer. Fells good
Suprised how far Tevez had fallen in price , very good for the finances , made good profit on the vampireOpen ControlsThe transfers are so iobvious for this week that delay is pointless , there going be maive price movements on the four players involved
Open ControlsWas thinking of the exact same myself. Might keep Fellaini in for another week, he received 15 points vs Fulham last time out. Carzola is really testing my patience and it's vs Utd too! Kinda regretting selling Theo instead of Carzola since Giroud got sent off, Theo may play CF.
Open ControlsIm hanging on to fellani , then turnu=ing him into Maloney and bringing in Vertongen with the pare cah
Open Controls
so my H2h has come down to this-
me-RVP(c),DDG,rafael
him- 17 pts
pick a winner...Open Controlsa big united victory will do nicely 🙂
Open Controls
Guys,
Been out all day and just got in to see the Suarez news... Is he definitely looking at a ban do we think?
His seasons over, or will he make GW35? Cheers.Open ControlsOh dear... Silly silly boy.
Looks like I'll be moving from one buck toothed fiend to another. Welcome To my team Carlos. 😉Open Controls
Have 2 FT now, and strongly considering 1 hit for thw DGW. Suarez/Santi will most likely become Tevez/Bale this weekend. Fellaini/Rooney could become Aguero/Dempsey or Defoe/Silva/Nasri. What do you guys think? I already have Mata and Hazard and no other Chelsea coverage is even mildly tempting. Money is no object, i can pretty much get who i want.
Open ControlsThe first two are obvious ones, and look good.
Not sold on Silva, and I really like Spurs' next few games from an attacking point of view. Defoe if you're following your own advice 😉Open ControlsYeah im not sold on Silva either, but i really dont want Yaya, which causes problems for getting in Defoe. Dempsey and Aguero im thinking could very well be puntworthy.. Ofcourse its a huge risk since either are nailed on, but i have to take some chances at this stage to cash in my minileagues.
Open ControlsNasri as a punt then? Same price as Yaya, and you know he will always play in an attacking role.
Open Controls
Time is up for Bunn?
Open ControlsJust get Hart. He can play every game and then it doesn't matter who your second keeper is.
Open ControlsCant afford.
Open Controls
Good fixture this week. Haven't heard anything about Ruddy though.
Open ControlsHugton was considering Ruddy for Reading. But obviously did not choose him. Very worries this week....
Open Controls
Who has done Suarez to Tevez tonight?
Open ControlsI'm very tempted. But it means i will have to sell Fellaini for Bale rather than finally being able to sell Sissoko 🙁 🙁
Open ControlsTold you to get bale....
Open ControlsOh well.
Open Controls
loooool so you DID sell Suarez for Tevez. So what were those principles you were talking about? I guess driving while disqualified or whatever it was is less appalling in your eyes?
Open Controls
contemplating that since the game ended. but i think i will wait for more news about suarez and not bother about 0.1.
Open Controls
How about:
Giroud > Tevez
Berbs > Defoe
Gerrard > Michu
(-8)
Or should I wait it out for now?Open Controls
any reason not to do fellaini and suarez to bale and tevez now? any better options than tevez?
Open ControlsVan Persie could get injured or sent off tomorrow night. There you go, that's a reason
Open Controlsor Europa...
Open Controls
I would do now
two of them will go up .3 thi week the other two maybe down .3
That a big difference in buying price , epecially if you want bring in vertongen in a week or twoOpen ControlsBale is price protected.
Open ControlsIs Tevez really gonna go up 0.3 you think? He did only get 2 points after all
Open Controls
And then what will you be advising him to do if Van Persie does go and get himself sent off or injured tomorrow night?
Open Controls
Who is better to have for gwk 35 + gwk 36 because I need to ship one out for Mata
A) Silva (going to have 2 other city players)
B) Cazorla (no dgw, big haul appears imminent)Open ControlsI'd keep Cazorla, purely because many appear to be ditching him
Open Controls
What if Ivanovic elbowed Suarez?
Of course I've seen it the same as you and I said that to suck you in. Well we've all seen it but do you think it's possible that the ref will be deemed to have seen it by the lawyers? He warned both players after all. Clearly he didn't see it properly or Suarez would have got a red but he saw, or thought he saw something.
Are you following this? Suarez was warned. Are we certain he can be punished again?Open Controls
Well, they wrestled each other to the ground. Off course the ref saw THAT.
Open Controls
He has come out and apologised said he rang Ivanovic etc
Open Controlsthat's irrelevant TH...we all know he bit him and the Liverpool lawyers will admit that...the question is whether the ref saw enough of the incident that he can't be banned through double jeopardy
Open ControlsI mean the whole entire world saw and knows what he did. And they pretty much all either hate or laugh at him for it. The only thing he could possibly do to save his LFC career was to admit the wrongdoing as fast as possible. If anything, im glad to see that Liverpool as a club and Suarez as a person has learned something from the Evra-incident. Its not much but its something.
Open ControlsI remember Lee Bowyer running at full-tilt in a Champions League match and treading on a defenders head without breaking stride...he got a 6 match ban...(later Newcastle bungled the paperwork and he had to serve another 6 matches so justice was done)
Open ControlsHahahaha thats funny. Well, this has been quite a day. Most of all im just sad. For him personally, for the club. And whats not been mentioned enough, i think we deserved to win the game, but we bottled it against a big club, again this season.
Open Controls
He will. This is not the same as Aguero tackle situation.
Open Controlsahh yes thanks MP it was Aguero...so why is this different?
Open ControlsOk, I think it has gonne a little bit out of proportion, but harsh tackle is just different from biting.
Open ControlsBecause Aguero is generally a nice guy, but Suarez is an asshole with a TRACK RECORD.
Open ControlsThat shouldn't have anything to do with this. This should be looked as an isolated incident.
Open ControlsSo if you`ve never killed someone before you should get a shorter sentence than if youve killed before?
Open ControlsThey already do it in the PL with the yellow cards... so why not? And let's not exaggerate with "killing", but in real life persons with no track record are in fact punished lighter. In court as well as when you are stopped by the police and have never had an "encounter" with them before.
Open ControlsBecause yellow cards are very frequent and an accepted part of the game. Biting someone, while extremely unheard of and punishable isnt really something that happens alot. I dont think i`ve ever seen something about it besides Suarez`s first one and now Defoe`s incident with Mascherano few years back in football.Its not like the sentence should be "you seem to like to bite people, so therefore you get double punishment". This incident should be considerered solely on its own merit, imo. Which i think should be a 4 game ban, if im honest.
Open Controls
You can interpret situation any way you want. It was clear what happened.
Open ControlsSorry. I thought you're defending Suarez.
Open Controls
There was a time that if Suarez did that to a defender they would have decked him. Ivanovic was excellent in keeping his cool, not sure Paul Mcgrath would have responded likewise.
Open Controls
RMkamikazeT
Bunn, Robles
Zab, Olsson, Vertonghen, Boyce, O'Brien
Sess, Morrison, Bale, Yaya, Maloney
RVP, Tevez, Benteke
0.0 in the bank. Room for improvements? Players in danger of rotation?Open ControlsNot too many. Yaya might, but then he is a beast and doesn't need rest. Same applies to Tevez.
No Chelsea?Open ControlsI know, no Chelsea. Can't see them keeping a clean sheet in the DGW, their strikers are a mess and the midfield is rotated as well. I was looking into Hazard, but then I would have to ditch a lot of DGW bargains.
Open Controls
Keep Suarez vs Newcastle?
Open ControlsWill he play?
Open Controls
I haven't been on all weekend. So please allow me two sunglasseys.
Giroud benched 😎
Suarez captain 😎Open ControlsCheers.
For parity's sake, I should add : No RVP 🙁Open Controls
I shall share one of those successes with you 😎
So, who are you putting in for that particular pair of reprobates?Open ControlsDunno Trigg. Might do a -8 (I'm gone hits keerrrazzy)
Suarez, Giroud, Cazorla -> Bale, Aguero, Kone.
Bit pissed tho (busy weekend) going to sllepp on it. Don't mind losing 1 or 2 0.1s at this stageOpen Controls
can't decide this. my head is about to explode now. so i throw thgis up for votes.
dgw36 team. pick the 3rd striker please.
hart
vertonghen,rafael,sagna
bale,mata,michu,walcott
RVP,tevez,????
A.kone
B. defoeOpen ControlsHows this for a plan:
Gwk 35: Suarez + Rooney -> Tevez and Aguero/Lukaku/Sturridge for a 4pt hit
Gwk 36: Silva + DDG -> Mata + Hart for a 4pt hit
I will end up with 8 dgwers
Man C: Hart, Tevez, Aguero
Chelsea: Mata
Spurs: Bale
Wigan: Maloney
Swansea: Michu, DaviesOpen ControlsI don't think Hart as GK is worth the money. I'd rather get Kompany or Zabaleta. Same CS, only with the added goal threat.
