GW 37 Matchday thread

Bit of an unusual gameweek fixture wise, with just the one game on Saturday and 2 midweek games also.

Most people pretty edgy with rotation likely across the teams

Steel Dog

Dawson (Stoke Away)

or

Clyne (Sunderland Away)

At a guess Dawson
Edit.. Dawson more likely to get a clean sheet
Clyne for attacking points

roryc

Any news on Chelsea team? Have Mata + Hazard and should probably get rid of one

roryc

Mulling over a 4 point hit to get rid of either Mata or Hazard for Santi, as I cant see them both playing. 3 minutes to pull the trigger...

Hazard is less likely to play than the unlikely to play Mata. Santi plays Wigan at home gunning for Champions league!

I swapped Mata for Lampard myself

Rikand

why cant any teams announce their team before 11:30 - what difference does it make!!!!

Hogey007

deadline passed. didn't do the mata to santi transfer. now give it 20 minutes for the teams to be announced and for me to be cursing rafa!

roryc

Tell me about it! I bottled, now nervously await the team news... With Federici and Harte on my bench, I can only afford two of these five being dropped.

Hart
Zabaleta
Tevez
Mata
Hazard

Nervy times. I'm counting on Zab + Mata or Hazard not playing.

I've said it many times, Ancelotti used to be a godsend naming it the day before.

Am I right in thinking in some countries they have to name starting 11 the day before or is my thinking arseways?

I thought Ancelotti might have got the habit from Italy or something.

I would say the reason that the deadline is 11.30 is because noboby will know team news.

Mr.Prodston

Nothing more we can do. Van Persie is captain, Lampard had better seriously outscore Mata and Kone and Maloney need to be competitive at the Emirates.

It's not like there's going to have to be a different team put out to rival the selection!
They just want to make the Fantasy more difficult.

I would of went Hazard to Lampard, not Cazorla.

i think you'll get Hart, Tevez and one from Mata & Hazard starting.

That's a funny looking Chelsea team. No Mata, Hazard or Lampard :pac:

Hazard on the bench

Lampard not a bad transfer so

KevIRL

False info earlier it seems. Hazard starts

Cech, Cole, Cahill, Terry [c], Azpilicueta, Ramires, Lampard, Moses, Mata, Hazard, Ba

Hogey007

Aston Villa FC‏@AVFCOfficial1m
CHELSEA: Cech, Cole, Cahill, Terry [c], Azpilicueta, Ramires, Lampard, Moses, Mata, Hazard, Ba. #AVFC #AVFCLIVE

Mr.Prodston

Mata Starts, Hazard dropped, Moses in Ba Starts....SSN

Edit: Oscar dropped

Steel Dog

Aston Villa: Guzan, Lichaj, Vlaar [c], Baker, Bennett, Westwood, Delph, Sylla, Weimann, Agbonlahor, Benteke

Subs: Given, Holman, Williams, Gardner, Bent, Bowery, N'Zogbia, Bannan.


Chelsea: Team: Cech; Azpiliicuetta, Cahill, Terry (c), Cole; Ramires, Lampard; Hazzard, Mata, Moses; Ba.

Subs: Turnbull, Ivanovic, Luiz, Ake, Benayoun, Oscar, Torres

Hogey007

good that mata starts, bad that Luiz doesn't. hope he comes on as a sub for 1 though because with Tuner defintely out and Zab unlikley to feature it means i've just got sagna, and Mariappa coming in off the bench.

Hazard starts too, Oscar is out.

Apologies, my ears don't work too well obviously Hazard DOES start, Oscar dropped

Mr.Prodston

I now need Mata to be quiet and Lampard to score at least one :eek: Silly Rafa NOT rotating!

roryc

Wait. Hold on. Mata AND Hazard start?

carlop

I have a bad feeling about this gameweek. I took Mata out for Cazorla as I was fairly sure he wouldn't start.

More worryingly, I captained Walcott, the two people chasing me in my money league went for RVP. No worse feeling in fantasy football than being at the mercy of Robin Van Persie.

Same, feel dirty saying this as a united fan but nothing from rvp would be great!

Lemlin

Didn't expect Hazard or Mata to start so delighted Mata is.

Nearly pulled the trigger on changing him to Lampard. Only reason I didn't was not sure Lampard will start next week if he plays in UEFA final.

Like that captained Bale while they done RVP,transferred Michu for Oscar, even though Nasri or fellaini was in my plan,then Hazard for lampard, thinking he wouldn't play.

roryc

I'm 5 points off the top 10k and have Mata, Hazard and Benteke playing in today's only match. Factoring in points hits that others may have taken, I think I'm odds on to creep over the line today. All eyes on Bentekkers!

carrig2

I sold Mata and my one and only Chelsea player Ivanovich, not starting.
Great start to my FF week.

KizzyMonster

Mata and Hazard both start and Ivanovic and Luiz don't?
I know not to depend on Mancini but...

Kinder Bueno

Have Mata and Bentekkers. Both very quiet so far.

Kinder Bueno

Bentekkers!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

KevIRL

Benteke goal

roryc

TEKKKERRRSSSSSS

Mr.Prodston

What a great goal for Benteke, knew I should have brought him in even though I kept jabbering on about Gabby. Stuck with Lukaku anyhow

The Gibzilla

BenTEKE THAT! :P

KizzyMonster

Feck.

Lemlin

Villa have often been a bogey team for Chelsea.

SlickRic

never in doubt.

Bentekkers delivers again!

23 goals this season, can Villa hold on to him??

Kinder Bueno

So sad seeing Petrov like that. You wouldn't even recognise him.
