GW 12 match day thread

KevIRL

Let's go

Lemlin

Ya beat me to starting the thread by four minutes! It's going to be a fun weekend of waiting for team line ups.

Hopefully the struggles people on the forum are having with potential injuries is indicative of most players.

KevIRL

Great to have it back. But really annoying there's no early kick off. Golf, international rules and rugby to keep me going up till 3pm. Oh and deciding my transfer too of course

KevIRL

Struggling to get Lampard out of my thinking. But perhaps this weekend with all the possible injuries is not a weekend to be taking a gamble

Foster
---- Clyne Hutton Baines
ADM Hazard (v) Siggy Sanchez
- Berahino Aguero (c) Pelle

Mannone - Boyd Chambers Yun


Going with Aguero captain. I don't need to take a risk as I'm in the top 5k. I've a feeling that Hazard could deliver a big haul today though. Baines is my only injury doubt but I expect him to play. This looks like it's going to be a week where reaching 50 points will be a satisfactory score. Best of luck to my fellow forumites.

G1032

So just the one transfer made. Hopefully I'll be able to field something which closely resembles a team.

I'm just absolutely dreading a Costa rampage. Didn't bring him in because I'm going to captain Aguero.

Hope Welbeck and Baines play. It's going to be a long two hours between 3 and 5pm

G1032

Team pretty much locked in now.

7 starters with Baines, Welbeck, Robertson and Fabregas possibilities. Wisdom the only one on my bench that will play.

Aguero (c), Sanchez (vc)

Maybe I'm too conservative but, for me, making a transfer for a player who definitely isn't even guaranteed his place is madness.

There's fixture congestion coming up so I'd bank a transfer rather than take that risk. It could be invaluable with three games in a week next week, not to mention European games this week.

Enjoy it while ya can. That little babog of yours will soon be lifting the remote and hitting 611 for Sky Disney!

Yep. There was a time though that all 3pm kick offs on a sat meant a 2.30 deadline. Pity they stopped that.

Last minute decisions

Duff away to Stoke or Moore home to Sunderland. Going for Moore.

Wanyama away to Villa or Siggy away to Man City. Genuinely conflicted on this one. Leaning towards Wanyama - Villa are awful and that's coming from a lifelong Villa fan. That said City are conceding a goal a game and if Swansea score you'd expect Siggy to be involved.

I hear ya Lemlin, a gamble at the right time though can end up profitable. Moving away from the thought now though, as I mentioned earlier, with all the possible injuries this weekend its probably not the best idea and you make a good point about the fixture congestion coming up as well

Enjoy it while ya can. That little babog of yours will soon be lifting the remote and hitting 611 for Sky Disney!

ha, will hopefully get the rest of this season out of it anyway, but at the mo tis all good. He gets me major brownie points with MrsIRL on weekend mornings when I happliy take him downstairs and watch the sport/sort my FF while she rests. Ding Ding

OneColdHand

Lemlin, did you make a transfer in the end? I think you were considering dumping Moore...

Considering dumping him myself, but would be nice to have 2 Fts next week.

Sounds familiar. 2 year old on my knee, Peppa on the telly, FSA on the ipad, missus in the leaba.

already on 611 here
anyway I need a lot of things to go my way to get a respectable score this week!!!
baines starting for one,Wilson as well would be nice but highly unlikely so maybe moore getting his place back might go my way.......and my captain needs a good haul. come on sergio

I've been at that for years with MoTD. Go downstairs on a Sunday morning, let the kids watch TV for an hour and eat breakfast, then send them to play while I watch it!

I kept him in the end. It will allow me more options going forward.

For example, a -4 next week will allow me to go Forster to Krul, Pelle to Austin and then Baines in for Chambers.

Moore will win his place back, the problem is it mightn't be this weekend. Wisdom or Taylor will just have to do if he doesn't.

Looking forward to this kicking off.

I spent a bit of time looking up Leicester city forums to see whether they think Moore will start, and half think he might (or perhaps hope he might). They are saying the diamond formation they went with isn't working, so some changes should happen this weekend.

I'm leaning towards putting Moore in instead of Jedinak at the moment, but the fact Moore came on mid game last time may be a bit of a worry.

Gal2011

Have to get rid of Downing and have 7.3 mill, I was thinking Chadli or Navas, any opinions lads? I'm also bring Dummett in for Wisdom as I have a shortage of midfielders as schnederlin and Fabregas are doubts so reinforcing defense

Are you taking a hit for this? Good chance both Schneiderlin and Fab will play.

I have one free transfer for downing but taking a hit to get a new defender to cover if Schnederlin and Fabregas don't play. What are the chances? I know Southampton are not playing until monday night.

I'm gonna stick with Wellbeck myself for this gameweek anyway

Necronomicon

Forster
Chambers Moore Dummett
Downing Fabregas Di Maria Sanchez
Aguero(c) Pelle Diego Costa

Subs: Boyd, Taylor, Wisdom

Like a couple of others I've put Moore into the team hoping that he reclaims his place. Even if he just comes on for a cameo, there's a good chance that Taylor and Wisdom won't score above one point anyway so not that much of an opportunity cost.

Sweating on Fabregas and Downing, but both are at 75% chance of playing.

Am loathe to taking a hit to change him out so he's in for me.

BTW folks,Rooney has scored more EPL goals than any other player against Arsenal. 10 so far.

2 facts about rooney
1. he loves a goal against arsenal
2. his scoring comes in 3\4 game bursts.
I hope I'm ahead of the pack on this one
of course I'm choosing to ignore the fact he is playing very deep

Morning lads!

I've got the following today:



Disappointing that Wilson is almost certainly out and Baines is a doubt. I think if the aforementioned had been fit I could have been in for a decent score at the back (QPR H, Burnley H, WHU H and Villa A), but at least I'll have two players that play coming in for them if not I guess.

I took my second -4 of the season to go Fabregas -> Hazard and Lloris -> Krul, so hopefully that will pay off as Hazard seeks his third home double points haul in a row.

Good luck all.

Due to his reasonably low ownership ill display no bitterness and be mildly happy for you if rooney scores for you this week ha.

Would people play Siggy (v man city) or wanyama (v villa) chambers (v man utd) or trippier (v stoke)

Regretted not captaining Aguero last time out, making the same mistake and going with Costa, i'm a fool

That'd be grand. Have baines in my team and if he doesn't play, dummett comes in.

iroced

All these injuries and doubts are leaving me wondering and lost ...

Team is:

Krul
Baines Wilson Clyne
Sanchez Fab Chadli Downing
Costa Aguero Pellè

Elliott; King, Wisdom, Naylor


Ideally I'd ditch Downing & Wilson but don't see obvious candidates and as Lemlin said it may prove valuable to go into the upcoming 3 games a week with 2 FT.
manual_man's Isla is tempting alright. Yun (price) is even more appealing but is he a guaranteed starter? And as I've seen while analysing the GKs stats QPR away form is dire.
Also I've £0.5m in bank and my masterplan was always to bring ADM back next week and unless Baines is out for longer than this week only I may need to downgrade Wilson instead of upgrading him...

Nalz

I see a lot of people benching\selling Fabregas and Baines. I have those 2 and Welbeck with next to no cover.

Whats the story with them all folks?

Paully D

KevIRL wrote: »

If that's correct then it's Chambers and Neil Taylor likely in for Wilson and Baines. Manchester United at home and Manchester City away as opposed to two home games vs Burnley and a depleted West Ham is annoying.

Mr. Guappa

If I manage to field 11 I'll be happy.
Duff is my only defender that I'm confident to start, the others all have some sort of doubt but I don't know which to transfer so just going to leave it:
Baines, Hutton, STaylor, Moore.
Also have Sakho up front.

Mr.Prodston

Having made my 2 transfers a little under 2 weeks ago I'm in a pretty zen like state this morning as opposed to a little over 2 weeks ago and I was freaking out about Sanchez and not getting him in :pac:

I now have Sanchez and a -4 start.

De Gea
Clyne - Duff - Yun
Sanchez - Hazard - Tadic - Siggy
Pelle - Costa - Aguero (c)

Hamer - Marney - Moore - Coloccini.

I think I'll fight those remaining urges to captain Hazard, having him is enough for now I guess. In Sergio we trust.

Mint Sauce

Any word on Schneiderlin and Dowing?

IsMiseMyself

My defence is a bit ****e this week but guessing defenders for clean sheets has been fairly dodgy this year. No real guaranteed cleanies and 3/4s of my defenders have far better fixtures coming up so I'll suck up the not-so-good score this week.

Not really expecting good things this week, but sure you never know. Captaining Aguero cos he's a beast.

Dr. Bre

taken a minus 4. hopefully I can have 11 playing with all these doubts!

I'm benching Siggy. Looking at the stats he's done nothing away from home since the first day of the season. Taking a punt on Wanyama.

Krul
Baines Moore Bertrand
Wanyama Fabregas Sanchez ADM
Costa Aguero (c) Austin

T-b0n3

Shipped out Welbeck & PVA for Austin & Duff.

Means I kept Pelle instead of getting Costa in. So another one on Costa fear alert today!

Captain Aguero... lets go!

dahat

11.29 late move Downing out Milner in as a ft. Rival took a -8 so plenty leeway.

Tadic and Milner out next week.


****balls....too late and think Milner is on my bench. Time to go and hide till 11.50

Moore came on because De Laet the right back got injured. The game before he didn't start and never came on. I'm hoping he'll either start or not play, although a one pointer could be more than my subs Wisdom or Naylor score!
