To be fair I get doubts about playing anyone away against Stoke

Im the same but at least Clichy din'y play and McClean come in for a t least 8 I have a small chance in my weekly league this week for a change.

KevIRL

Hmmm outside chance of a ton score this week.

On 74 with 3 players to play. Pretty sure I'll get 6bps for RVP(c) and a further 3 from Augero, so thats 83. also chance of some bonus for Sess/Zamora.

Then have Gerrard, BAE, Evans to play. Essentially need a goal + something else from Gerrard.

Of course I've jinxed it now so watch the remaining 3 players get a grand total of 2 points lol

One thing i never understand is when people play the 352 or 343 formation and then put a defender as their first sub. In a league with my mates i see it time and time again. I'm top in that league and every week i pull away a bit thanks to them not organizing their bench properly. Today for example second place has Shotton coming in with 1 point to replace Ramsey. His second sub is McClean with 8 points pre bonus. 3rd and 4th place have similar scenarios.

In general I put the attacking player as 1st sub but the number of times I've regretted that this season is ridiculous. On numerous occasions I've put Simpson as 2nd sub and paid the price.

61 points so far but with Kompany not playing, Ox comes in 12, and still have 5 left to play.

was quite happy to put demps as my 2nd sub today with evans as 1st sub
putting shotton ahead of mclean isnt something i would do though

mailburner

i'd love to drop silva and get in mclean as i really want mclean
wont drop demps as fulham have some nice fixtures ahead
bale is undroppable as is sess and valencia is one of few shining
for utd

daithijjj

64 with 5 to go, McLean 1st sub is only bad news.

Didn't just mean in general. Would of course be relative to the players you have and the fixtures. My point was that a lot of people closely focus on their starting 11 but don't seem to extend the same focus to their bench. I put Graham ahead of Dempsey today. Kelly was my third sub. Had i had Simpson i think i would have put him first sub.

I'm considering transferring Dempsey out after next game week and bringing in Ba who then has 2 home fixtures back to back against Wolves and Sunderland. I benefited from Dempsey hat-trick and ensuing price rises. But i never really seen him as a long term solution. Despite the big Fulham win recently i think that was just an anomaly. They don't score enough and look too slow. Have a niggling feeling that Ba won't continue on his form though. Or Cisse will take some of the shine off him.

Shanotheslayer

58 with 3 to play. Have sess and R Martin on bench, got 6 and 9 Hopefully Walker doesn't play he's yellow atm.

manual_man

Finally got Victor Moses into my team. I will blow you all away the next few months. That is all

from this lot coming up
swans villa wolve qpr stoke

if your happy enough with your outfield players, could you maybe change lindengard, hes out for another month, his price might drop and over the next month or so mignolet has arsenal, sunderland(big derby game) and liverpool

dahat

Going to trade Dyer for Sigurdsson as my sub midfielder after todays games plus Swansea are at home next week.

Nasri still poses me a problem,to move him now would cost me 4 points,unsure what to do?
After moving the cpt. off RVP to Auguero the inital panic was eased a little so my frontline got me 38 with Ba to come plus BP's,7 off those 2 i reckon.

SlickRic

fúcking McClean on the bench and Morison coming on for 20 minutes.

fml.

captained Aguero and not RVP too.

55 with 4 to play, but that's pretty shít really this week.

Mars Bar

54 points with 7 yet to play. If Newcastle, Manchester United and Tottenham do the business, then I'm in for a good week.

MD1990

70 with 5 to play
McClean 1st sub

grohlisagod

Walters>Sigurdsson the right move? Would enable me to get Ba next week. Trying to decide between Sigurdsson and McClean.

OK. I must apologise to all the ones who took captaincy off Van Persie from the link (=> http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/wenger-i-m-considering-resting-van-persie) I brought in there yesterday night.


And I have to thank deeply grohlisagod (you're a legend mate ) to convince me not to believe joker Wenger and to let my trust to Van Persie.

Last time I will be taking advice/news of yourself, cost me 46 points :rolleyes: Will avoid changing my team on the gameweek morning as had it set up with RvP as captain and foolishly benched him based on that hear-say article. Stick to the facts and if possible view the actual teamsheet will be my motto! Dropped 35 places in the boards league as a result!!

You do whatever you wanna do. Ain't like I put a gun to your head.
"hear-say article" ? Was arsenal.com .
Maybe just you should have read through the 3-4 pages after I posted the "dramatic" news and deliberately played the devil's advocate against VP (6 games without any "big" score, Wenger repeating he's needing a rest, blablabla...) where several posters said they didn't believe it and couldn't see it happening as Arsenal needs him too much this year.

What I know is I'll never give any more credit to Wenger statements. After what he said he even played him up to the end while the game was long won for Arsenal :rolleyes:...

Nalz

fúck Wengers lies, fúck large font posts and fúck waking up early!

The_Kew_Tour

People having a go because somebody gave wrong advice is plain wrong.

I don't think people can predict future and hindsight is wonderful.

I actually did not captain RVP either on the advice given here that he might not play, but ultimately it was my decision, and that's my tough, as much as I could have done with the points.

Most people here try give good advise. You do need lot luck in this game too.

daithijjj

A fair few folk from around the Chelsea ground on twitter say it isnt looking good for the game tomorrow with the forecast.

Yes, Sigurdsson is a good move. Sess or McC is your other tbh. Dont let the fact that you want 2 5+ mf in your team put u off

Same as that. Was praying that Morison wouldn't come on. Left it until the last minute too before I made up my mind and in the end went for Morison at home to Bolton.
Maybe Gerrard won't play today and McClean will come in...............

Gerrard definitely won't play today

FutureGuy

I decided against a 4 point hit to do Walters and Fletcher to Siggurdsson and Ba and it looks like I should have gone with my gut instinct.

64 with 3 to play despite Huth getting sent off.

Fizman

67 with 5 (Krul, Simpson, Enrique, Gerrard and Ba) to play. A GW like this was long overdue.

dahat

If Newcastle get a clean sheet today with Ba getting a goal or two the top score will be immense this week.
I have gone with 2 Newcastle defenders plus Ba so here is hoping.....

manual_man

Ba starts. Cisse bench

pah

Have krul, raylor & cisse playing as well as BAE, g cahill, bale

Got 58 from aguero c. Rvp, sess, dempsey & ox-chamb

Happy out

Double edit, was going to say cisse on bench but hes just on for injured Best

BillyBoy

Cisse on

Lemlin

Need big games from Wellbeck and Ba today to make back ground on those who have Aguero. City changed to a 4-4-2 yesterday and it paid off for owners of Aguero.

Jax Teller

Ba goal . R Taylor assist

Tristram

Ba you legend!

Joekers

Disgusted Ba scored had enough money to bring him in said i'd leave him for a week to see how he gets on :mad: and now ryan taylor goes off after 30 mins with a bad injury FML

Shane732

Awful to Taylor injured but it will really shake up the FF side of things.

Every second team nearly has Taylor and a lot have him since he was cheap.

El Horseboxo

Ah why couldn't that have been the 61st minute Ba scored. Would have secured the clean sheet for Taylor.

pah

Raylor gets an assist though

Mint Sauce

Ba with a R Taylor assist.

Friggin love this game at times.

Mars Bar

Feck off Keane

manual_man

go on Robbie. least Villa deserve

Mint Sauce

This GW is going to be a case of 'who had RVP, and who didn't'
