Clyne won't be getting that assist so will he?

I hope not . Tight enough H2H game was glad to see you sold costa too. Our old friend ramsey to win it for me.

Lemlin

29 points. Bonus to come only for Siggy I'd say. Sterling and Ade left.

Poor week. Would expect red arrows. The second Costa goal was the knockout blow.

Disappointing going into the international break on the back of a poor week but at least I can take a good break from the game with my WC played.

Jaysus, the hindsight merchants are sticking it in me good and proper! ah well, 164 points so I'm doing ok still.

ah stop, guys saying they shouldn't have given Rooney the armband and all, folk have full week and threads of people giving advice, and then post shouldn't have done this/that because of the results.

At this stage, giving Rooney the armband for any game is probably a mistake, but if he bangs in a hatrick against QPR, people will be saying should have left it on him.

Only mistake you made was positing about it. :pac:

Well I should have played Pieters but I didn't so heeeeeey hindsight.

I'm just pee-d off at my decision, as it was stupid. I'll get over it.

I believe that controversial plays are reviewed by the League. What ever the ruling is what the Fantasy folks go with. E-mail campaigns have no affect.

Nothing to do with hindsight. If you have a 10.5m player who is a doubt you either start him or sell him.

Selling him came back to bite a lot of people but I could see the logic in it. Putting him on your bench doesn't make sense.

164 isn't a bad score, but 176 would have been better

LOL. That's how I felt. Mourinho always keeping his cards close to the vest.

Joekers

41 pre bonus with 5 to play that'll do nicely

Exactly, it's zero risk playing him. He's either injured or not.

I had already used my free transfer before the Costa news.

lorenzo87 wrote: »

Well that is wonderful in hindsight now that he has scored 2 goals.
At the end of the day, the media led us all to believe he was crocked all week, and even Mourinho said yesterday that he was touch and go even to be in the squad.

Agreed. Now I know. Always a bit of Mourinho trickery.

roryc

Benching Costa was a really bad move, hindsight has nothing to do with it. Not to worry though, a lot of people transferred him out so you aren't alone in not getting his points.

G1032

31 including 2 Siggy bonus. Atrocious week. Sterling, Adebayor and Ramsey to play tomorrow and then it's sign out of FF for a fortnight. Fcuk Costa anyway.

Well that's the thing I guess, if I had not used my transfer, I would have transferred him for sure anyways, so it's all the one.

NinjaTruncs

45 with 7 bonus points if things stay the same with Hutton and Ramsey to play.

Annoyed with my Keeper choice played Krul (also had Williamson) rather than De Gea, annoyed as last week I had them the other way round. Also had Pieters on the bench but I was never realistically playing him at City.

Think I may wildcard to get rid of the united players they really are playing bad. I had been defending their easy fixtures as a reason to keep the players however the just don't look dangerous.

SlickRic

an odd week.

will probably play the wildcard over the international break.

27 with Sterling, Lamela, Debuchy and Ramsey (c) to play.

Bleating Lamb

How did Costa look today fitness wise,thinking of bringing him in on WC.

Looked fresh as a daisy pal, played the full game in his stride.

eh i dunno

40 with 4 to play. Happy enough

Not even a hint of an injury.

Iused2likebusts

31 with 4 to go need a big one from ade and Sturridge.

roryc

Looking at some of my other leagues I'm starting to think 44 may actually be a good score so far. My main rival (who was 311th in the world after GW1) only scored 22 points although he still has 6 players to come tomorrow while I only have 2. I need a wondershow from Captain Ramsey and a dull 1-1 draw in the Pool game! It will be a miracle if none of Sturridge, Sterling, Lovren, Eriksen or Dier score big...

Same score and exact same players left.

kennyb3

53 no hits and just Ramsey to play. Bego and jones my unexpected heroes to go with siggy & costa.

Not sure what arrow color as stated in 11k.

Did mata get injured btw? Mate mentioned a hammy?

Planned to wc but might just do mata to sterling. Really want Naismith for jovetic though. Hate hits though.

City forwards are a jinx for me.

Snap. Just copped I have Ramsey as well as Ade and Sterling.

We need a big show from Adebayor tomorrow to help negate the Costa haul

That Clyne assist has eased the pain a bit (brought him in for Costa).

46 points with Hutton & Lloris to come.

Dearg81

53 -8 for me with Ramsey and Sterling to play. My 2 hits were Ivanovic and De Jong. Unfortunately I also captained De Jong but 45 is a very good score it seems.

Looks like there wont be a price freeze so.

45 with 2 to play. Expect to drop a lot by tomorrow evening.

Facing drops for Fletcher, Rooney, Mata, Jovetic and perhaps Begovic and Caulker.

I think I have to Wildcard really.

45 with 2 to play will probably see green arrows this week... unless you're on about a drop in team value.

No but there would be a change to the Net transfer out figures required to drop

He can't rise for 8 days after being added to the game or am I mistaken?
