50 with two Soton defenders and hopefully Sanchez to play. Sakho has been a mighty differential lately for me. Mopping up the BPs. Slight jump in the rankings to 22k overall

Have Sakho myself. 4 clean sheets and 8 bps in the 6 games since Xmas

Rikand

43 sees me fall from 4.8k to 5.5k.

4 to play including Il Capitano Graziano, so hopefully get some of that back

SlickRic

75 sees me up 14k to 7k.

Will go back down tomorrow as I've only Sanchez or Boyd to come in.

Scorpion Sting

56 points sees me rise to 2.1k from 3k. Giroud (c) and a surprise Sanchez appearance or Boyd's 2 left. If the handsome Frenchman blanks it'll be 6 captain flops in a row for me. I'd be happy with just an assist from him to be honest.

Mr.Prodston

Wow just seen Studge's goal. Not looking too rusty with the finish anyway!

SantryRed

63 points with Bertrand and Sanchez to play. Silva first sub if Sanchez doesn't make it. Up from 2.4k to 1.2k but will be happy to be within 1.5k by the end of tomorrow.

IsMiseMyself

Need Giroud to score at least two this week to salvage my league.

iroced

48 with Cazorla (C), Giroud & Bertrand to play.

Paully D

30 points sees me down around 600 places to ~900 overall from ~350 overall. Giroud (C), Sanchez (or van Aanholt), Betrand and Pelle to play later (or should that be tomorrow as I haven't been to bed yet! :pac:).

The Wild Bunch

Any update on Sanchez? Likely to figure at all?

Bleating Lamb

Made a rookie mistake,didnt start Sanchez ( who I can't see feature today) ...and have Sammy Amoebi as first sub ...8 pts gone to loss.

KevIRL

53(-4). Slight increase in OR.

Giroud (c) and Pelle to play today along with Boyds two points off the bench.

Happy enough really and in wildcard mode now

MonkstownHoop

No Sanchez will bring 7 off the bench leaving me with 65 with clyne and hutton, more importantly it will scupper a few with Sanchez as captain

Who did you start ahead of Ameobi and Sanchez then?

Necronomicon

Disappointed to drop from 15k to 17.4k with 42 points. Quietly confident of climbing back up though - Forster, Bellerin, Sanchez(/Boyd), Pelle, and Giroud(c) to play.

FutureGuy

One of the most anticipated team sheets at 1230. Hoping for Sanchez to start or on the bench at the minimum.

Cant see it happening, but him starting would be fantastic

I benched him but so many have decent sub's to come in I'd love a 10m cameo.

Swiper the fox

C'mon now fellas, be nice. Ye wouldn't deny me those 13 beautiful points coming off my bench with Harry Kane would ye:o:p

C'mon, there has to be some sort of concrete indication by now whether he's in the squad or not, has he been spotted on some corner in North London with his boots around his neck waiting to be picked up and eating a sausage mcmuffin??

Rumour this morning had it that he was spotted on the Dublin to Athlone train. He's en route to Kiltoom for the Cavan Roscommon game. Big supporter of the Breffni Blues is Alexis.

Still nothing on Twittee re starting line ups.

IsMiseMyself

A ten minute cameo for Sanchez would be perfect. I benched him too because I highly doubt he'll feature. Such was my certainty that I brought in Puncheon for a -4 to play instead. Shows what I know really.

I'd say he'll either start or won't figure at all. If he's being rested it makes no sense to risk him for 10 minutes at the end of a match.

Shush. My bitterness doesn't like sense and reasoning. :pac: He's gonna play for 10 minutes, get one point, and squander all those 8-13 pointers people have sat on their bench.

My combination of bitterness plus half my rivals sitting on double figures first subs :-D

FHFC

Didn't bench him but got my subs right benching Terry.

Much as I'd love him to feature in some shape or form, lets be realistic, he ain't gonna.

42 with three to go it is!

The Wild Bunch

Captain Giroud (c) here with Cazorla (vc) and Hutton

dahat

Ah well....

Just need Cazorla to run riot now, 6 goals too much to ask?

spock.

Boyd comes in with 2 for Sanchez so I'm on 56(-12) with Santi(c) Pelle and Bertrand to play.

FHFC

1-0 win with Bellerin scoring.

Booooooo!

Seems everyone here has PVA, Wassi or Kane to come in. I get to welcome in Seb Larsson and his 2 points :mad:

Swiper the fox

I can't believe I was actually really nervous opening up this page there a minute ago, my heart was going a mile a minute. I take this game far too seriously:o

This was the one time when nobody had any business posting up the starting teams, it was all about the squad.
I hope Alexis enjoys himself in Kiltoom, at least it will put a rainy Monday night in Stoke into perspective for him anyway:pac:

kilburn

As Villa fan happy out Sanchez does not play and Kane comes in with 13 points from 1st sub.

Captains armband goes to ADM on 75 now with Santi and Berty to go

Chesty08

Still Not sure whether I'm happy or not..

Arsenal will blitz these & with no Arsenal cover I'm now watching this match through my fingers

Sanchez being left out means I'm up from 54 to 74 points with Elia still to play!

Not stressing too hard over the kind of people who would have benched Kane this week.

You had a Sterling though. Looking at it now I got my WC right but for two moves. Should have gone with Bellerin over Jones and then Sterling over AJ.

I think I'll leave the team as is for next GW and then make two transfers for the midweek matches.

Zouma and Studge in for Pelle and Terry is looking possible.

kilburn

Nice !
