I prefer this thread cos it says GW25 instead of Gameweek 25
Meanwhile I have had Felliani captained for last 2 days but the Finger is over RVP again....

G1032

Not sure who to captain. I'll chicken out in the end I'd say and captain RVP. For some reason I have a bad feeling about this week.....

Cantona's Collars

2 match day threads? There must be something epic going to happen.

Iused2likebusts

will be looking to see if puncheon starts if not will need to get rid of him with GW27 in mind. Aguero grabbing a goal or two would also be nice.

The Gibzilla

Played my WC and took the punt on Samba. I'll be watching the QPR game with a lot of interest as I've Taarabt as well. Having been debating about Michu or RVP for captain I went with RVP.

roryc

Has Mata been confirmed ok to play? His yellow flag has disappeared.

Iused2likebusts

ye think i read somewhere that rafa said he was fine.

Going for captain Walcott over Mata, Baines and Fellaini...

Threeo Walcott better turn up today and not Uh-oh Walcott...

dahat

Wobbling on RVP...........dangerous time to be looking at your team

Kerrydude1981

Sticking worth RVP as well,he is due a goal or 3 today

Who_8_Paul?

Rooney seems to be under the radar big time, ok he's off penos, but after 2 the last day, he could go on 1 of his runs...

manual_man

going with:
Federici
Evra Luiz Demel
Bale Walcott Fellaini(c) Mata
Rvp Sturridge Giroud

pretty confident of a decent score

FutureGuy

Right, Doubled up on Reading defense today simply because I feel Fed will get more than Mignolet and because I fely Harte might get simething attackwise.

Federici
Samba - Zabaleta - Harte
Bale - Walcott - Michu - Mata
Ba - RVP (c) - Sturridge

If it goes right, I'm sure I'll be called lucky.

Come on Samba you fcuking beast of a man. Up for that ball. Go on ya big boll!x etc etc.

S.M.B.

I think doubling up on Reading could be a profitable decision.

roryc will throw a wobbly if it pays off and Man City concede as expected though.

The Gibzilla

I went for
Bego
Samba Zab Harte
Gerrard Walcott Taar Michu
Giroud RVP(C) Sturridge

SlickRic

chickened out on Samba due to wanting to get a City and Liverpool defender next week.

my gut said get him, so I'm gonna be annoyed at myself when he rips it up. on the off chance he fails, I'll pat myself on the back for my restraint

kept my team the same.

captain RVP.

dahat

Just hope Bale decides not to have a huge week this week,as each GW passes he gets further away from my team so hoping this is not the week he kills me.

prettyboy81

I changed my mind & went Captain Bale over Walcott....

QPR FC ‏@OfficialQPR

Fabio and Samba of definate interest here......

Norwich City FC ‏@NorwichCityFC
#ncfc XI: Bunn, Martin, Johnson, Bassong, Turner, Snodgrass, Holt (C), Pilkington, Hoolahan, Garrido, Tettey.

G1032

Was going to put Harte in defense instead of Azpil but chickened out and went for Azpil. Kind of hoping he doesn't get any game time now

Made a last minute decision to switch captain from RVP to Giroud.

He's Giroud Giroud
He's bigger than me or you
He always scores one or two
He's Giroud Giroud!!

S.M.B.

Cesar; Fabio, Samba, Hill, Traore, SWP, Derry, Mbia, Townsend, Taarabt, Mackie.

Ugh, i brought in Onuoha with my wildcard.

I brought him in last night. Toss-up between him and Hill, went with the wrong option :mad:

dahat

Why did ye not get Fabio in,4.2,a bargain

S.M.B.

I had to go with a defender worth 4.1 or less.

I thought Fabios place was under more threat too.

Dempsey

Could be a huge rush for Townsend in the next few weeks, I'm committed to my current 5 man midfield until GW26 starts then I'll probably offload Gerrard for Townsend and upgrade Pog to a form striker

Onuoha had played the last five games or so, in which they have looked defensively solid, while Fabio has been in and out of the side in various positions. Fingers crossed they ship 3 or 4 today.

yep will be keeping an eye on him if he's a regular starter. lots going for Samba but loathe to pay 5m for a QPR defender

The Gibzilla

Glad to see Big Chris in there for his debut no Remy though, is he injured?

Not lucky at all, I had Harte and Fed in until last night but when I worked out my next few transfers I realised that the best course of action for me was to get rid of Cameron now for Zab at a 4 point hit, despite City having a tough run. Now that I have Zab I can't play Harte over him, despite the fact I think he could get something from the game. I'm expecting City and Reading to both concede. What will annoy me is if Stoke keep a clean sheet this week after all the faith I've had in them up until now.

Samba's a good shout, I'd go for him but not sure how I can fit him in. Great transfer if he gets returns. You seem to think every good move you make will be called lucky by me! When you are lucky then you should know this yourself! I'm hoping for some luck in the form of a clean sheet today. I don't care who it's from, a clean sheet is equivalent to a lottery win for me...

According to PhysioRoom on Twitter he is. Not sure what the problem is.

roryc

S.M.B this is not helping our similar teams debate, I was planning on bringing in Onouha for Demel! No idea why he's been dropped today but I guess I'll need to look at Clyne now

Santi101

Huge rush for Townsend? Pretty average player whenever I've seen him.

It was between Clyne, Shaw and Onouha for me. Brought Clyne in before his price rise the sold him for Onouha last night.

Still can't see if he's on the bench or not, I'm hoping it's a minor knock/illness that's kept him out.

manual_man

just realized luiz is out this week. nuts. means i'll be doubled up on Reading. with Gibbs also out i may struggle to field a full defense. Demel Pearce and Evra my only available

Santi101

Went with Davies over Demel, even though Swans are away. Demel is crap, and West Ham are poor right now. Really rate this Davies kid, good natural ability, always willing to move forward.

roryc

I'm actually hoping Newcastle hold Chelsea today, need a good defensive performance ahead of next week as I'm debating dropping Bale for Gerrard for the DGW. Seeing what Arsenal did to Newcastle earlier in the season has me worried though, Bale has the ability to run riot. Would like to see him pick up a niggling injury in the 85th minute today which sees him rested next week.

if puncheon doesnt start today ill be getting townsend in for him for my cheap 5th mid.

Santi101

Yep Stevie G in for me next week aswell. Doubt Spurs will do what Arsenal did to Newcastle, think they will turn a corner now with all the new signings and a win in midweek.

roryc

This is what I'm hoping for! I still want Bale to do well this week but draw a blank next...

S.M.B.

Onouha isn't on the bench so hopefully he'll be back in the first team next week. I'm not bothered about him missing todays game. I just need my 3 cheapies playing in 2 gameweeks time when Swansea/Pool aren't.

Hopefully Pog keeps his place too. If both don't play this week then it really ****s up the whole plan i put into place with my wildcard.

He is injured and not on the bench according to BBC.

Demel will come in for me, to join Jaas in goals so hoping for a West Ham clean sheet.

Mr.Prodston

Time for my wildcard warriors to rip up GW25

Bunn
Zab/Samba/Dawson
Walcott/Mata/Bale/De Guzman
RVP(c)/Sturridge/Giroud

Sub:Beg,Davies/Kebe/Harte

Pilkington subbed 23 mins

I was looking at him or Hill but luckily went with Hill.

Checked some of the QPR message boards and they said Hill would definitely play.

SlickRic

should've brought in Samba.

Norwich ain't scoring.

*jinx jinx jinx*

Necronomicon

Penalty save from Bunn, who's on my bench.

****

KevIRL

Tarrabt pen saved by Bunn

Who_8_Paul?

Nice for those with bunn; brought Samba in last night; the winning goal from a corner/free kick and 15 points would be ok...
