Gameweek 2 match day thread

Thinking it could be beneficial to start doubling up on United defenders. Romero and Darmian/Shaw

Banked the transfer and captained Benteke. Rooney out along with Walcott. Aguero and a mid priced marvel in.

Exact same as myself. Unsure on who to bring in with Aguero though.

I wouldn't be doubling on ManU defence with their fixtures from GW4 on

so the yellow prob cost me 2 points but I won't get greedy

He could have been booked earlier in the match so not undeserved

true

extra gravy

Think I'd rather have Aguero away at Everton than Rooney home to Newcastle.

FHFC

I had shaw in my team since the site launched and switched to bellerin at the last minute. I am a fool.

Rikand

Oops. Forgot to change my captain.

Come on Haz!

Switched him at last minute because De Gea wouldn't be behind him!

LVG prides himself on defense and Utd will have plenty of 1-0 this year! Fools

Did the Hokey Cokey with darmian and bellerin
Darmian ended up staying as I also had Walcott from arsenal
Ya win some ya lose some
Darmian is a season keeper i think

Chesty08

Said it the start, Rooneys days as an out and out goalscorer are done! Wudnt touch him. with a barge pole.

Be very surprised if they signed before window closes

Rooney's 2 points has put me 'up' to 2.5 million. :pac:

Rikand

My 3 points this evening sees my overall rank rise 70k places to 2.2 million in the world

Making inroads :P In all seriousness though, our rank is badly skewed due to chips. A guy in my league played bench boost last week and got 59. This week he wildcarded and had Romero Shaw and Darmian. He is now 4k :P

km79

9 pts sees me rise to 370k
Hoping for a west ham rout tomorrow

Me too. 6-1 with hat tricks for Sakho and Payet and a Cresswell og

I'd give my left nut for Palace clean sheet.

If it was 0-0, with Ozil and McCarthy playing, I'd probably take that actually! Would be a decent return from 2 players!

Edit: I have Mert too...so that would be a very good result for me!

Unfortunately I already donated my right one with 10 to go in FP this evening!

AdpRo

1,108 people who started in gameweek 2 are now ahead of me!! I know I've had a bad start (24 points) but that's mad!

FutureGuy

Bak inside the to million with an urge to see Benteke go nuts Monday. Lots of Rooney cap timers in my league.

KevIRL

0 from 0 (no hits). Things can only get better Shirley. Only 3 possibly playing today for me too, hate having so many players crammed into Sunday/Monday fixtures.

Necronomicon

5 points from Rooney and Depay. One or both of them are being transferred this week.

Only 3 players playing today, so potentially a bit of a boring Saturday for me.

spock.

I have 6 playing today which is more than most have.
A Cedric clean sheet and/or Mane goal in the early game is badly needed.

I'd take that :P I have 7

jamesbere

There is some spread of matches this gameweek. I have 3 playing today. 4 tomorrow and benteke captain Monday.

SlickRic

Mane is the one I'm worried about today. Maybe Sakho too.

I have both of them so hoping those worries turn show to be justified!

Ziegler1988

Only four playing today, hoping for some fireworks from Captain Kane and Sakho. A nice 0-1 Everton would be a good start

PARlance

Not 100% sure how it happened, it certainly wasn't a major plan, but 3 SOU players wriggled their way into my team... But I think I like it.

FHFC

5 including captain today.

Media blackout commencing shortly.

See yis at half 11. ; )

Harvey Low Fat Milk

I'm hoping for big things from Sakho today after the sh!tshow that was captain Rooney last night.

jimmii

5 for me no chance I could go dark until 11 though gl with that!!

km79

5 today as well including a sahko payet double show !

Ye same as have 3 saints. A cs be massive for me

Mike Ehrmantraut

4 today, goals from Sakho and Lukaku would be appreciated : )

km79

I really don't like not having the deadline at its usual saturday time
I enjoy looking over articles on a friday evening at the end of the working week . don't have time to do that in time for a Friday deadline next year
it's also a lot quieter on here this morning
it's a shame
I hate change

Same. I had a sleepy moment this morning where I thought Well, time to take a last once-over look at the team before the deadline. I enjoy the Saturday morning torture sessions, it's like an FPL stockholm syndrome.

Long in for JRod the only change
Cedric starts.

I can see Cedric being one we are always having a bit of a worry over.

harpstilidie

Only 2 players playing today, Pelle and Schmeichel.

Hoping for Graziano to do the business!

zarquon

Saintsfc XI : Stekelenburg, Cedric, Yoshida, Fonte, Targett, S. Davis, Wanyama, Tadic, Mane, Long, Pelle

#EFC XI: Howard, Galloway, Stones, Jagielka, Coleman, Barry, McCarthy, Cleverley, Barkley, Lukaku, Kone

On The Q.T

Come on Lukaku for ****s sake - last chance

wonski

Just realized I only have 2 players today - Mahrez and Deeney.

At least I can enjoy games without looking at who got an assist or a clean sheet. Refreshing.

dahat

No Mirallis will hurt Ala few who gambled on him.

wonski

If Kone does it again I might think of bringing him in.

5.1 at this moment, owned by 4.3%

dahat

Mane and Cedric here for me, going for a Saints goal fest.

Same hopefully some of those Mane chances go in this week and Cedric can chip in with a few more cheeky points!
