Gameweek 8 Matchday Thread

Shorty11857

Not a good week for me so far but I have Dummett coming on for Costa, which should give me at least 30 with 3 to play including my captain so could still work out okay

KevIRL

Will be on 44 after bps are added, 4 to play but 11 to come off the bench from Obertan

Acceptable but was really hoping for higher after Aguero's flying start today. No Southampton players and a total of -2 from 4 players really hurt me this afternoon.

Might just about thread water.

Dempsey

51 so far, captaincy yet to be put on Aguero, George Boyd to come in for Diego Costa & 12 BPS to be added.

Looking at 86 when all that is accounted for

Di Maria & Sigurdsson left to play.

Wildcard is having a spectacular return so far

Apologies, I recommend PvA over Boyd.

Not your fault at all mate, absolutely no need to apologies. I had van Aanholt in as my first substitute all week and if I played the gameweek again, 9 times out of 10 I'd stick with the same decision.

I was thinking along the similar lines of you with van Aanholt possibly grabbing an assist or perhaps 6 for a clean sheet, whereas Boyd had done nothing thus far.

finnharpsboy

with bps included im on 66 with moreno, wilson, siggy, sterling and di maria to play

q2ice

47 from 7 with 6 bps to come.
Annoyed I didnt set vc to Aguero. (Was sure it was on him). Boyd autosubbing for Costa is sweet.

Di Maria (vc), Falcao, Shawcross and Siggurdson to play.

Scorpion Sting

On 67 points with Sterling, Sigurdsson, Taylor and Di Maria left and that man George Boyd's lovely 8 points to come in for Costa. Very pleased with my team after playing the wildcard in gameweek 7.

Lemlin

Some seriously high scores here. Will be interesting to see what the GW average is.

KevIRL

Intermediate analysis

http://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/

Including expected bonus but not including vc moves from Costa...Average score 32.2, Average for the top 10K 39.1

Cypher_sounds

50pts with 5 to play, decent considering I have neither Pelle nor Tadic plus Mannone's minus 1.

TacT

Siggy sterling and Di Maria (c) to play, curently on 33 and another poor armband decision to rue for a week

Harvey Low Fat Milk

57 pts after bps with 5 to play, only real disappointment is Silva not picking up anything even though he had a great game. A Stoke CS would be beautiful this weekend.

internet_user

77 with taylor,siggy and di maria to go

Necronomicon

74 with Taylor, Siggy, Di Maria, Sterling, and Wisdom (my auto sub for Costa, stupidly ahead of Boyd). Really hope tomorrow is half as crazy.

Chesty08

Seriously tempted to Change Sterling & Welbeck to Tadic & Pelle... is that too much of a knee jerk reaction?

Fizman

70 points with 4 to play : Foster, Sig, Di Maria, Sterling

IsMiseMyself

I wouldn't rush out to get Pelle and Tadic. I know they both did unreal today--Tadic, particularly--but Southampton are not gonna score 8 every week. Certainly, I presume.

Before today, Tadic's record was okay but he was by no means a must-have. That's wont to change, of course, but I'll be waiting to see how he shapes up.

Antibac

Had Aguero as VC and points are now added and confirmed but haven't had any captain points added or Costas replacement points(Matic) not added. Are they left till game week over or should they have been added?

thewools

Wildcarded this week...

Got rid of Fab and Tadic... :mad: Sitting on 38 points with Aguero captaincy to come in...

spock.

Autosubs and VC come into play after all matches have been played

PARlance

90 points (-4) with Blackett, Sterling and DiMaria left to play.

Boyd first sub but he'll only come in if either of the above mids don't play.

Best week I can remember and may kick start my season.
Now I just need to hope Costa does very little in his next 3 games.

Nobody is going to have a clue how they are actually doing this week until late Monday night or even Tuesday morning.

My B-team languishing at 855k overall is sitting on 90 before bonuses...a mighty effort for a team made up for leagues run by sites etc...

Went up to 106 with 3 to play.

Jumped 855k to 37k.

I know.

What I want to see tomorrow:

Stoke 0-0 Swansea

QPR 0, with some involvement from Sterling at the other end.

KevIRL

Up to 8th overall and first in Ireland in ultimate FPL!

superb!

SlickRic

including BPs, and Boyd coming off the bench, it's 80 with Naylor, Siggy, Sterling and ADM to play.

happy out, although Naismith's failure is a little annoying considering their 3-0 win, but you can't have it all.

dahat

65-4 with 8 to sub in.

Sterling,Di Maria and Siggy to play tmrw. Really need Siggy to deliver a goal at least tomorrow.

Also need Pool to concede with Moreno to do nothing.

Copper_pipe

Down to 12k with no Aguero, I wont complain,

George Boyd's points must be added to that too :P

mufcboy1999

Really taught today would be the day augero ran roit. In the end giving him the arm band wasn't that bad, better late than never and he should of had a hat trick tbh.

It will come though the ageuro show will come !.

Go the extra mile for aguero, the only city striker who's not at risk of rotation and imo is due a high scoring gw soon

with jeovitic back tonight dzeko could be at risk of rotation, I have aguero for this reason alone and he's due a brace or hat trick pretty soon i reckon

I've been a broken record the last few weeks but its happened sergio has well and truly run riot and yes i did captain him

Ziegler1988

55 points good for 292k but very hard to tell how autosubs (I have 9 coming in) and VCs will affect that. I'll enjoy top 30k overall until then though

Bet you have a conflict of interest though what with your username and all.

Ace2007

If Blackett was not to play on Monday it would be great, on 2 fronts, one Cork would come on for 8 points . and two might persuade me to bring in Baines,

Chesty08

In the top 1.3k overall

Boyd's points still to come in

plus 4 to play ( 3 of the template 4 midfielders)

Let's hope the template fires tomorrow

Wow just checked the Top 20 and their is guys in it who before the start of this week where 6 points ahead of me but are now in the top 20 with the same template midfield 3 players stil to play than me..

The difference between them in Top 20 and me in 1.3k is

I've Fab they have Tadic
I've Welbeck they have Pelle!!!

It's the small margins for a place up so high!!

I'd retire from the game if I ever hit those heights

spock.

Top 10k overall! Vice captains will change that though..

KevIRL

Dropped 5K places to 24K. Disappointing considered I did capt Aguero and a bit concerning considering the Costa VC changes still have to be made

Jimmy Iovine

Sitting in 26k position. Delighted. I know I'll drop again tomorrow when the vice captain is switched to Aguero.

I'm going to enjoy these heights while I can.

PARlance

I'll enjoy it while it lasts but VC's and subs are going to probably cut into this massively...

But up from 533k to 54k for the time being.

A Blackett hattrick is needed to offset all the other adjustments on Monday night

Mr.Prodston

75 points with De Gea, Bardsley, Siggy and Di Maria to come. Also PVA's -2 so I guess it's really 73.

Puts me up to 2k for now but I'll dropping down again from now.

NabyLadistheman

61 with Di Maria, Siggy & Taylor to go. Praise the lord for Aguero VC & Costa not in the squad... feeling blessed

65 with adm siggy sterling to play. Thanks Sergio

iroced

42 with 5 still to play (though 2 defenders - Stoke-Swansea 0-0 would be just absolute perfection) and 19 pts added (:D). Up to just outside 200k. Wow :eek:. Just checked, Aguero's (C) points would place me now inside 80k. That's some jump.

Benimar

94 with Di Maria, Hendo and Siggy to go. That includes -2 for Azpilicueta!

Overall Rank of 600, my highest ever

It won't last after all the auto subs and Aguero VCs kick in, but it makes for a good Saturday night

Fowler87

81 with 6 still to play. Jumped 110k to just inside 11k. Cracking GW so far. Jagielka being my ft worked wonders but Tadic head and shoulders stand out performer

FHFC

83 with the three template mids left.

That includes the 8 for Boyd to come Monday night.

My 75 so far leaps me up 353k from 425 to 72!!! I know that auto subs and Aguero vcs will eat into that but given I've a decent auto sub my self and Aguero not massive ownership I hope not to drop too far.

Hard to predict but staying in top 100k would be amazing. Reflecting on my poor start heading into this gw I had figured if I could crack the top 100k by Xmas I'd be happy!
