ST STEPHEN'S DAY

I've emigrated year's and still don't bow down to the Queen

Boxing day football, boxing day cricket test from Aus. Stephen's day racing from Leopardstown, I've always called them as they are in their homeland.

Damn you all, just reopened the fantasy league page, and all over just one player, in one match tonight.

West Ham: Jaaskelainen, O'Brien, Collins, Tomkins, Rat, Noble, Nolan, Morrison, Downing, Diame, C.Cole

Ravel starts

Danger781

Ravel starts and the Rat starts despite having a 25% chance of playing

Sorted. Cheers. Saves me having to decide between him and Clyne.

manual_man

hey hey Rav starts had a feeling that would be so after not starting the weekend

Danger781

Palace XI: Speroni, Ward, Gabbidon, Delaney, Moxey, Jedinak, Dikgacoi, Bannan, Puncheon, Chamakh, Jerome

eh i dunno

Is Walker away to Fulham or Rat away to Palace a better bet for a clean sheet? Have Clyne and Chico both with home games

Kerrydude1981

Quick one lads on who to play

Coleman?
Zab?
Sessegon?

FearDark

My strategy for this week is hoping that everyone has forgotten that the GW starts tonight. 45 points last week was by far my worst week since GW1 and red arrows everywhere!

flying11

Ozil ---> Hazard
Britton ---> Ravel

For a 4 point hit. Had to be done but sets me up nicely for christmas

Mr.Prodston

Howson, Coleman, Mickey Turner are my subs in that order. Does that look about right?

Zab for me.

Just took Coleman out of my team. Put him second sub behind Jedinak. He better not score.

The most interesting thing tonight FPL wise will be checking out rivals teams once the game finishes updating

Hmm... My dilemma is picking 2 of Collins (Cry A), Vlaar (Sou A) and Dawson (Ful A).

Crystal palace have failed to score at home 4 times. West Ham got 4 CS away.
Southampton have scored in all their home games bar one. Aston Villa kept 3 CS away.
Fulham always scored at home (even though only 1 goal each time). Spurs got 4 CS away.

So looking at these stats my choice is between Vlaar and Dawson. Tough one. Have Vlaar on at the moment but somewhat feel that Spurs' thrashing at City is overclouding my judgement...

zarquon

Ditched Dawson for Terry myself. I'm concerned that Dawson will be rested.

Hadn't thought of that. That my evening fecked so. Thanks a bunch!

Last min change of starting Coleman ahead of Vlaar, Utd more likely to concede than Southampton.

And away she goes....

Now queue everyone coming on, who didn't realise it had started, or who thought there was more games tonight.

Anyone got a stream, can't access myp2p on work laptop...

Sounds good to me:


4 mins
Crystal Palace 0-0 West Ham
Kevin Nolan is playing a deeper role in the West Ham midfield, leaving Ravel Morrison with the play-making duties behind Carlton Cole.

zarquon

Yep, Ravel playing the number 10 role and looking decent there.

Pity about the Carlton Cole part.

Collins, what a guy!

Delaney yellow for Palace, hacked down poor Ravel

Rat has made it in there now.

Excellent stuff Hammers CS gone, alot of forgetfull managers will be hurt.

Bannan assist, great move for me

KevIRL

Chamakh goal, I remember the week I had him....

eh i dunno

Thank fook i left the Rat on the bench

Good Move.Ill probably do townsend to bannan for next gw. I was waiting to see if pulis kept playing him. He is a good foot smaller than your typical pulis player.

machiavellianme

Chamakh my pitch up

roryc

Happy with that, my main rival brought in Collins. Now Morrison for the equaliser!

dahat

FPL aside, Ravel Morrison is wasted at West Ham, far too skilfull for the players around him. Can't see how he will be seen at his best with donkeys like Cole and Nolan around him

I almost left him on the bench also as there is a chance arnie could play tomorrow.

Got my eye firmly on him, Pulis loves his crosses into the box

For those of us not willing to shell out to listen to Michael Owen's commentary. Just spotted this offer. Setanta for €1 for December. Includes BT Sport. Happy Days.

I think the same, I needed the downgrade to fund another transfer(Coutinho), I had to ditch Townsend which I didn't like doing but I need to be sure I've got players who play and someone had said he has been Palace's best player, 4.4 is good for a creative player like he seems to be, his effort taken off the line at the weekend swung it for me.

That was me my mate was at everton palace a few weeks ago and said bannan was the best player on the pitch. He then scored the week after that.

Legwinski

Didn't realise gameweek started tonight >< . It's only by chance that I changed my captain etc. Wanted to use at least one of my two free transfers though!

Cheers for that, i'm hoping to move along for a few weeks now with three budget mids, Ravel, Bannan and Arnie, this allows me to indulge in the top three strikers and 3 top defenders, 4.4 is a great price for that type of player, like Puncheon last year before Pottechino came in.

we have very similar thoughts re midfielders and its been a disaster so far. Not having ramsey, townsend and arnie doing nothing, hopefully coutinho, morrison and bannan can do the business.

KevIRL

Cole and Nolan off Cole and Maiga on

GillespieRoad

Raging here that I forgot to make transfers, thinking the gameweek started tomorrow. Wasted two free ones aswell :mad:
Oh well, at least I remembered to pick the first team and captain
