If mata gets double digits this weekend the forum will go into meltdown :eek:

Some will go into hiding for a bit.

Likewise if he gets a 2 pointer and sterling tears city up!

It will be an interesting weekend.

I am now expecting both **** (I can't mention his name anymore!) and Sterling to return a solid two points each.

That's what inevitably happens when these discussions get heated e.g. captain choice between Aguero and Suarez last year and both returned 2 points!

I really think some people need to take a chill pill though. Using phrases like players getting "burned" or that decisions are "ridiculous" is going a bit over the top IMO. Emotive language like that is just going to annoy others.

It's all a load of nonsense with mata whatever way it goes. Siggy fab hazard ramsey sterling silva nasri sanchez eriksen are all at a similar level we can only have 5 of those in our team however the majority of this forum have deemed mata a must have . If I do sell Mata and he tears it up as he could well do I won't be going hiding as I would've went with the 5 above that I thought were most likely to score this week.

Well said. I won't be going into hiding either, far from it. Everyone makes errors. The game is about getting more decisions right than wrong.

Anyone for sterling -> Eriksen

Considering puncheon/giroud for sigurdsson/bony for a hit. Yeah or nay?

Punch to Siggy I would say yes. But don't think I'd go Giroud to Bony for a hit to be honest.

If you have made transfers (points hit) in a week and confirmed them but later decide to use wild card are the earlier confirmed points hits removed by the wild card?

Yes, they are indeed.

Thanks can't afford siggy without the hit. Think I will just bank the transfer and look at it next week

Well Giroud and Bony are the same price, so you still won't be able to afford Siggy if you do that transfer.

Rojo may make a spot in my team but thinking strongly on mata too

I think he meant -4, nothing to do with price.

I just hope Mata doesn't get over 2 points or this forum will become unbearable!

Okay folks, I'm not a mod, but I suggest the words "Juan Mata" are banned for 72 hours :pac:

Considering there are 20 PL clubs and each has 25 registered PL players, that leaves 499 other players to talk about....

Talk of Giroud and £32m being offered to PSG for Cavani. Should probably sub him just in case

He's playing terribly and Everton dominated the game last season.

Giroud will not be a good enough main striker

If you search this thread using the word "Mata" there are 153 results, those aren't quotes or anything. I only joined this thread on Wednesday, I didn't realise it was so bad.

RVP and Evans back for United. FFS have them in their predicted line up. Valencia also back so United should be a good bit more solid this weekend.

FFS also have Luis to start for Chelsea with Azpi the one down to miss out.

De Jong also makes the Newcastle squad and FFS have him down to start.

By that token it'll be just as unbearable if he who must not be named gets 2 or less.

I think it's clear we're reaching saturation point by now though, or well I hope so anyway and I hope everyone does well this GW and then it won't Mata

Sunderland team news and an interesting quote from Poyet:

http://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/sport/football/sunderland/read_article/11428291._/?

“He's (Vergini) available, which is great news and Billy Jones is back,” Poyet revealed. “Our back four last week was a different one to the one we wanted to play - hopefully we'll be back to basics this week.”

TotalFPL have their back 4 down as Vergini, O'Shea, Brown, van Aanholt.
FFS have it down as Jones, O'Shea, Brown, van Aanholt.
