We delve into the Gameweek 30 data this evening in our first members article of the international break. Our attentions turn to Villa and QPR’s in-form assets ahead of the double, whilst we also analyse City, United and Liverpool midfielders and take a look at Swansea and Palace’s lone frontmen.
Sinclair this week.
this
Fellaini
oo 50/50 im only going Sinclair because of DGW and his 4 shots on goal last GW, Sometimes Fellaini can disappear
Australia doing well so far.
No one cares really.
Loser 😛
Don't you have some league to administer?
🙄Never gets old. 🙄
Seems like its gonna be a Nz Vs Aus Final! Will root for Kiwis in that match!
Too early for that.
Australia has good bowlers..don't know how India will react to a big total
If Starc doesn't get wickets then India have a good chance.
yeah! depends on him really
Anyone but australia 🙂
Yawn...
Bendtner wagon?
Bendtner to Madrid
Assume Liverpool vs Hull is blank, could you list 3 top player picks for GW 33?
Silva, Aguero, Bony
I can do Eriksen Giroud -> Mane Costa and have 0m IT
Is this fate?I can get Phillips or Zaha with Costa. Choices, choices.
cmon maxy tonk time
It's looking good for your lot so far
So my MC Hamer->Forster trade last week worked out brilliant.
😕Hard Luck!
You got a monkee up your sleevee?
Tragical
Unlucky mate. Still it's best to get the bad luck out of the way before the CWC begins
Look at it like the Monty Python boys did: "You've come from nothing, you've gone back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!" 🙂
(except a FT) 🙁
Auzzers on for a big total-high 300s here. Can't see the Indians getting anywhere near.
Yep, the Indian bowlers found out, Aussie are too strong at home.
This is a great idea

maybe not
😎
Embarrassing
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/32052408"They have hundreds of development players; you can't simply say because he plays for Real Madrid he's got to play for Scotland."
yeah you can 😀He's got a long way to climb out of that hole,
Looks like everyone was too quick to count India out. 😉
Clarke to stall things now. 🙂This is the first match that I am watching this world cup....Cricket is so Freaking Boring!
😯
Cricket is mainly found boring by people that don't understand the rules and have a poor attention span.
Cricket fans are people who can regularly save transfers and wait on making a transfer until after the press conferences.
A good analogy.
I do that! but not a cricket Fan! I'm a Golf fan though
Stick at it. You'll be a cricket fan soon enough once you understand more
I grew up watching Cricket I know all about it! and was a big Glen McGrath fan! used to Love Rahul Dravid, Shane Bond...Herchel Gibbs, Sehwag
Former fan? thats unusual. What changed?
Always found Football more interesting..shorter game much more intense IMO..then somehow started finding Cricket very boring..and maybe because I don't get that much time free to be able to watch a full match..
Hmm, why not just enjoy both sports?
Trying to..I think T20 spoiled ODI for me..
Ah, you're a purist then. I can understand that, t20 has butchered the purity of the game.
yeah!
i'm just a part time cricket fan. prefer tests. gotta be in the mood for it though whereas im always in the mood for football
ooh ahh glen mcgrath! legend. him and warney were awesome.
So you find cricket boring but not golf 😕Golf is fun to watch! maybe because I play a bit myself so I know how tough the shot is and what club should've been used
makes sense. I've long wanted to learn how to play golf. think id enjoy it. can't see myself ever watching it though 🙂
Once you start playing it..I bet you'll start watching it! 😉
Dont think there is any rule in cricket that is tough to understand 😛
Rules are probably easier to understand than cricket tactics. Thats when real appreciation comes in.
This.
Tactics. Ha! 😀
I know the rules..grew up watching cricket only! used to love Glen McGrath
You have two sides, one out in the field and one in. Each man that's in the side that's in goes out, and when he's out hecomes in and the next man goes in until he's out. When they are all out, the side that's out comes in and the side that's been in goes out and tries toget those coming in, out. Sometimes you get men still in and not out.When a man goes out to go in, the menwho are out try to get him out, and when he is out he goes in and the next man in goes out and goes in. There are two men called umpires who stay out all the time and they decide when the men who are in are out. When both sides have been in and all the men have been out, and both sides have been out twice after all the men have been in, including those who are not out, that is the end of the game
simple 😀😆 Making a simple game complicated 😀
How many football matches can we watch till one ODI Cricket match finishes?
That's my biggest issue with cricket. The matches are so long and boring
With all these 'injuries' I might as well wait until after this ridiculous int break before making transfers.
shame about losing TVFeck I wanted Clarke to stay in and slow things down. 😡
😀
He was probably reckless on purpose know who was to come in.
*knowing
Faulkner 😎
Is out. 😎
Watson still on pitch 😉 C'mooooooon Rajasthan Royals 😀
And is gone now. 😉
Rahane 😎
😆
silence jinx!
Nah... Just want them to score some pts for me 😉
No love guys?
Panti
Ivanovic Janmaat Bellerin
Hazard Silva Ozil Eriksen
Kane Giroud Aguero
Lloris* Moses* Wollscheid Dawson*
0.5ITB, 1FT
Any advice guys?Save FT
Really Bellerin might not play. Bad fixtures we well - likewise for wollscheid
One of your defenders to TOBY
NO BRAINER - check who has worst fixtures/form and get them out..:
Is Bellerin playing? Maybe him...Thinking of that.... But bertrand > toby? Could ship Janmaat out
is something wrong with moses and lloris? I mean besides being sh1t picks?
defence needs some work mate. alderweireld is a bargain.Lloris went off injured last game.
We have the same front 8 😯 I'd save a transfer.
My Defence? Austin?
Not worth changing the D this week. Stick with your current forwards
Feck it. Eriksen to Mata done. I hope Spurs' good fixtures don't bite me on my a&&
Or 1 Bad Performance by Mata
Just a touch sideways imo
Forster, Aguero & Naismith > Guzan, Costa & Benteke - 8 but worth it next gw?
Works out bang on the money!Yeah I'd do it. Gets rid of 2 duds and you pick up players with extra fixtures.
A couple blanks and were calling Aguerro a dud? I know you can't mean Naismith! Lol
Ha
Dhoni looks annoyed...
He can't figure out Johnson
Yeah!
They just bowled it in his arc...poor from India
They got a good total in the end. I'd say Aussie have the advantage for sure.
You're right, Ryan....
I think it's your year. NZ have played some outstanding cricketI fear we aren't good enough to beat Aussie over there. We'd need a lot to go our way. India might be a more even contest though.
Would have taken that total when Smith got out.
Aussies were on course for 350. We've pulled it back.
Over to the batsmen now.Is 328 beatable in this stadium?
Of course it is.
Sri Lanka almost did it in the group game. If Chandimal didn't get injured Sri Lanka would have won.ooh
Yeah, Yadav probably saved you 30-40 runs.
Despite going for loads of runs himself. The irony.
Ashwin was the real impact bowler I think.
Kept it tight and got the most crucial wicket of Maxwell. Maxwell staying in for a few more overs would have been carnage.It was Yadav that started it though, getting Smith and Finch. Ashwin then took advantage of that.
Tend to agree. Yadav's pace helped. Those short deliveries were well directed.
How long is the innings break?
45 mins I think. Should be back out there in 10 mins or so.
Not that long. Starts back in a few minutes I think
Cheers 🙂
1 half of a football match 😉
too god damn much
Well when you're out there for 3 1/2 hours you need a good break 😉
but then again, they're not in constant movement. But I see why they would need a long break
Just walking around for that long and occasionally running can take it out of you. Particularly on a hot day.
the wicketkeeper after ever over changes his position..batsmen remain where they are...
Batsmen are running for a lot of the time they're out there. And they're in awkward pads and helmet
yeah! was just justifying the long break..
calm your tits, I said too god damn much for me to wait 😛
Any advice with this team with 2FTs? Looks OK but I've been slowly dropping down the ranks the last few weeks..
Ospina
McAuley - van Aanholt - Naughton
Hazard - Sanchez - Silva - Eriksen
Austin - Aguero - Kane
Krul - Moses - Clyne - Wolly
2FT,1.3 in the bankDG Moses and Sanchez for Boyd and mid-cheap mid and get Terry / Ivanovic?
Which looks better?
A. Aguero > Giroud/Agbonlahor/Benteke
B. Sanchez > Hendo/Mata
C. Dawson > Naylor
WCing in 2/3 gwksBellerin to Naughton
Hmmm, I'd have to say B if you have plans for the extra cash...Mata could really pay off if LVG has a clue!
Best striker GW32->GW34 inclusive:
Under $8.2
1) Murray
2) Gomis
3) Bony
4) Sakho
5) Others
6) Giroud (will include -4 points (Moses --> Ameobi AND playing him in GW33 vs TOT))
CheersFixtures:
1) Murray (sun - WBA - HUL)
2) Gomis (EVE - lei - new)
3) Bony (mun - WHM - AVL)
4) Sakho (STO - mci - qpr)
6) Giroud (bur - BLANK - CHE)Gomis also not a bad option
Take a punt on Ideye or Sakho
Cheers!
Don't think I have the balls (and I'm not in the need) to take a punt on Ideye.
Sakho looks the safest maybe...
What's your thoughts on Murray?Murray is a good option..why not..or a Leicester Striker? DGW..
Yea, but can't see a pattern on who's starting, can you 🙂 ?
Ask Davies if you find him Online..he's our Leicester Expert
Those fixtures for Murray looks exciting
Definitely!:)
But is he a safe starter?Cant bench a player who is scoring goals 🙂
I am thinking of jumping on one of these strikers GW32 as an Austin replacement until I get Giroud.
Murray's fixtures are great and he is on pens.
If West Ham can start scoring more goals, Sakho would be a great choice.
Not sure about Bony due to rotation risk.
If Gomis can improve his finishing, then he has potentially the best fixtures.Cheers!
Same here - Austin needs to go next week, and Murray will probably be a good 3 weeks punt without too much risk.
See him scoring at least two goals, if his form consists.
Agree with your thoughts on Bony and Gomis.
And, Sakho looks good - but I'm afraid of his injury history.
With Dawson out I have a bit of a 3rd defender dilemma
A) Bruce (swan)
B) bellerin (pool)
C) Hutton (man u and QPR) -4Bruce
A
A)
Cmon India 😀
Rohit is putting himself in danger, Im not convinced
I know but all we can do is hope that we get a good partnership.
Rohit Sharma is the key guy for me.
Playing with your luck atm
very very lucky i would say
I really want to take someone for the DGW but I just can't seem to find anyone worthwhile!!
pants
PVA, clyne, terry
Sanchez, silva, Erik, haz
Gru, kun, Kane
*forster *haidara *dawson colback
2ft and .6 ITB
Possible DGWrs (guzan, Greene, benteke, Austin, Hutton, ???)
Or maybe just myhill or Davis and skip the DGW? In the top 1k and looking to move on up!!
Thanks for the input ladies and gents!I'm in a similar situation. I think I've decided not to bother. Austin is really the only DGWer worth having but with your forward line its not worth selling anyone for him.
Cheers....The only thing that might make sense is taking Austin and switching to costa for his DGW after. It's just So tough to drop an in form Kane or Gru. Aguerro is obviously not in form but his chances have to start going in right? Someone has to give for Costa eventually I think! Or maybe terry- Ivan- Haz will be the call? Tough one I tell ya!
Yep. In these situations I tend to favour doing nothing. With 2FT's make a conservative move with just 1 of them.
Colback to Phillips for your 5th mid. If Sanchez does get rested you'll get a DGWer off the bench and you'll still have 2fts next week
Hmmm, good shout! DGW bench insurance plan...
I'd be sorely tempted to pick Phillips if he's brought in.
I know...how can I bring in a DGW and then bench him? Maybe just bench Sanchez if I bring in Phillips!
RMT rates it Haz > Phillips > Sanch > Erik > Silva. I'm not really sure I'd be wanting to bench Silva.
Agree, I'm getting him in to play myself
FOURRRRRR
What do you guys think of my plan. Currently I have 2FT 0 itb
GW31 - Sanchez -> Mata
GW32 - Mata + Austin -> Zaha+Costa
GW33 - Save
GW34 = 2FT about 1.0 itb 3 Chelsea players in the team.Good but Why Zaha and not some Leicester DGW Player
Don't fancy their chances at all and in all honesty there doesn't seem to be a nailed on midfielder except Cambiasso who is not going forward.
Okay but I prefer Bolasie to Zaha
Yeah you might be right will have to weigh the CRY options more thoroughly when the time comes. Thanks!
