GW38, and the last Matchday Thread

Mint Sauce

Well. With the top two decided will some of the big guns rest players and give the younger lads a chance, or display exhibition football, Spurs and Arsenal still battling for CL places, and the relegated teams maybe trying to restore pride. It could be a very interesting final day.

25 minutes to get them teams in and decide your captains. It all kicks off at 4pm.

Kinder Bueno

I was adamant all week that Walcott was going to be my captain but have just changed that to Sturridge, really hope that doesn't come back to bite me in the arse.

What the feck are supposed to do after today? No FF for 3 months.

I started with Lukaku hoping for a relaxed utd with a foot off the gas.



I dunno. Maybe fantasy Confederations Cup.

roryc

Hoping for some Newcastle goals today! I think my season rests on Hart and Zab both playing and keeping clean sheets.

Also, if Baines wants to finally reward me with a goal, now's the time son!

Hogey007

think we all knew he wouldn't be involved anyway for different reasons but it's been confirmed that Rooney has been given permission to miss today's game as coleen is due to give birth.

should guarantee a starting place for RVP and you'd expect chicarito too.

Kinder Bueno

10 mins to go. I wonder would it be worth a -4 to bring in Chico for Tevez? 7 points behind in my main league.

roryc

Scoring odds

Bale/Sturridge: 4/7
Aguero/Tevez: 5/6
Walcott: 5/4
Coutinho: 6/5
Cazorla: 2/1

Mr.Prodston

These are the men that will lead me to glory with my lucky charm, Mickey Turner supporting from the bench alongside Wilson and Townsend.

Hart
Enrique-Baines-Dawson
Bale (c)-Walcott-Lampard-Maloney
RVP-Kone-Dzeko

If Dzeko starts and proceeds to score a hat-trick I may well do a dance. It's about time Baines picked up a goal too. At 6pm our players will have given their all and we will be at the mercy of the bonus points.

Best of luck lads, all I'll ask is that QPR keep a clean sheet/maybe let Enrique score otherwise I'm goosed as I feel extremely naked without a Cout :pac:

Lemlin

Team picked:

Now I'm off to watch Cavan play Armagh. Pointless day of FF today, compounded for me by Rodgers probably not starting Enrique and my sub defenders being Russell Martin and Harte.

Possibly my last post on this forum so if it is lads, I bid you adieu.

What a shame, I feel for you. Shame about Enrique too.

Graceful to the end I see RoryC.

I'd see that as a lack of ambition on your part tbh. What's your record against me? I think I've beaten you on 4 out of the last six seasons, or is it 5 out of the last six?

I'm not sure but if I had a rival like that I wouldn't want the competition to end with me left as the loser.

You may win today, and part of me hopes you do so I can take a break from the forum, but you'll still always be below me in terms of FF performance.

Do you hear that sound RoryC? That's the sound of second place

Ah I'm not too worried about it. In fairness to Enrique he has performed better than I ever would have expected since I got him in and he, Suarez and Sturridge were integral to my top score of 120+ one week.

manual_man

Hart
Evans Dawson Baines
Silva Coutinho Bale(c) Mata
Rvp Sturridge(v) Kone

In contention to win all 3 of my h2h leagues but all 3 are in the balance

Good luck to all

MOD: I warned you and Lemlin multiple times. I warned you both over a week ago. I infracted you both a few days ago. I told both of you that if you start bickering again or try to start this up again, you will be banned.

RoryC 3 day ban.

My money league comes down to City conceding. Grant Holt, Robert Snodgrass, if you can hear me, get on the end of something please!

carlop

My main rival has Tevez (as captain, I have him non-captain), Hernandez, Lennon and Clyne as differentials, and I have a 40-point headstart. I should really be safe, if I were to lose from here I'd quit the game.

Having said that, I still have nightmares about watching Tevez score a hat-trick a few years ago in a match that was supposed to be called off because of snow but ultimately got the go ahead. I watched it with my friend and my brother who both had him captain and were both my two main rivals in my league, while my dad berated me for being so stupid for not having Tevez in my team.

Very interesting situation in the race for the overall title. One of the FFS regulars (evs) is in 5th place and 8 points off the leader. He has transferred in Michu and made him capt for the final week. None of the 4 above him have Michu and all have captained Bale. Its a ballsy move and could get him the title.

He was interviewed on the latest FFS podcast and while he didnt say what he was going to do, he did say that he would most likely take a chance as coming 2nd was the same as 15th for him and he may as well just go for the win. Fair play to him, great attitude to have. He came across as a really nice guy and I hope he wins

I could do with City conceding too.

Had my team picked & provisionally left the captaincy on Coutihno,woke up today with a hangover and forgot to change it.

Hopefully today will be like this:

Good tactics, no point captaining Bale in his position as it gives him a very slim chance of winning. I was in a similar position, I'm 2nd in Ireland and was going for first but we both have similar teams and both have Sturridge as captain so I have no chance.

I almost captained Michu. The plan all week was to bring him in and Captain him but changed to Bale at literally the last second.

No Rooney today,his missus is having a baby so he's been given the day off.

2nd in Ireland is seriously impressive stuff. Where does that leave you overall? I'm currently 231st in the world and that only leaves me 32nd in Ireland. We appear to punch above our weight somewhat in fantasy football.

Fair play to you in any case, that's a great result no matter what happens today, I see ye both only got Sturridge in this week as well, I'd say you haven't a chance but good luck to you.

I'm 17th overall. Your man in first has a suspiciously Flemish sounding name so maybe an ID check is my best bet of coming first ;-)

Our teams are nearly identical so just trying to finish top ten which might happen if Sturridge gets another hat trick.

7436 wildcards played, good things wont happen for those who wait

Hernandez starts, get in.

qwabercd

Nastasic an awful frustrating player, should start more often. Brought defoe in about 4 weeks ago, for the second time this season he has beem a shocking purchase. Never again.

FutureGuy

No goalkeeper. Doing things the hard way bitches!!!

No Nastasic either so I would do anything for a city clean sheet. Actually I might lay a city cleanie.

Thank Christ its the last day of the season, I need a break from this game!

Al Habsi starts! So glad I took my eye of the ball and didn't ship him out when he hadn't played for a few weeks on end.

Devia

Bloody Aguero. He better stay on the bench.
