Gameweek 11 Matchday Thread - Pulisball vs "Vardez": The Ultimate Battle

Mr.Prodston

Each week in FPL is important. However some weeks are more important. This week the defensive wonder of Tony Pulis pits himself against the world's 2 best players. Good vs Evil to put it simply.

Pulisball in one corner. Jamie Vardy and Riyad Mahrez in the other. I know who's legend will longer in the memory and which cult will make the breakthrough to become a fully fledged FPL religion.



So as many of us gather in the house of Pulisball and put our faith in the one constant in this game let us sing together:

"Take Me To Pulisball"

"My Pulis' got humour
He's the giggle at a clean sheet
Knows everybody's disapproval
I should've worshipped him sooner

If the Evans ever did speak
He's the last true McCauley
Every Sunday's getting more bleak
A fresh save each week

"We were born clean," you heard them say it

His church offers no absolutes
He tells me, "Worship in the penalty box."
The only Evans I'll be sent to
Is when I'm alone with no Vardy.

I was born sick
But I love it
Command my sheets to be well
Aaay. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Take me to church
I'll worship like a Myhill at the shrine of your lies
I'll tell you my sins and you can sharpen your knife
Offer me that Dawson death
Good Tony, let me give you my life"

Sure there are some other interesting sideshows this week in just how many goals Southampton and Man City can wrack up. Will Dr. Sexy Italian Stallion or Mr BUIB show up? Will Harry Kane score? Will Lukaku do a Lukaku?

But Pulisball vs "Vardez" is the clash that can change one man's world for the better or the worse. As we begin this epic tussle I must nail my colours to the Pulisball mast and hope that good can conquer evil.

Oh Tony, My Tony. Let us fight this good fight together



(Yes it's started a little early. No I don't care because I put about 15 minutes work into this :pac: )

15 minutes well spent good sir!!

2 new additions for me this week in Van Dijk and Payet. It'll be nice to not have to check the West Ham result through my fingers as I won't dread Payet appearing in the goals/assists column any more!

AOA

-8.

Myhill
Bellerin. Van Dyke
Sterling. Sanchez. Mahrez. Mané. De Bruyne.
Vardy. Pellè. Lukaku.

Its gonna be emotional in one form or another...

Somebody come round my house and make me not captain Sterling please.

COME ON VARDEZ!

ScummyMan

BUIB (c). I've said it before and I'll say it again, if he doesn't produce this week he's never darkening the door of my team again!

I'm going full throttle Pulisball, benching Vardy, double WBA defence. If Vardy scores I'm going to implode

Ziegler might trump that and go for the treble treble?

I'm backing Vardez too, just can't see WBA keeping them out.

WBA 0 Leicester 1 (Ulloa) is absolutely nailed on, isn't it?!!!

Iused2likebusts

Well played Mr p very funny. The best part is you were waiting patiently all night till it reached 12 to produce that masterpiece. I think pulisball will prevail but get vardy next week.
I line up for -4

Immovable object v irrestible force: I've gone for both.



And future thread starters take note, thats how to do it

Steven81

Mahrez on bench for me, strongly thinking of bringing in Martial next week, with another price drop likely tonight it will be only time before he is the lone striker, LVG too stubborn to do so this week though but may change it during game.

Myhill
Bellerin Kolarov Bertrand
Sanchez Mane KDB (c) Payet
Kane Pelle Vardy

Mahrez first on bench. Feels oh so wrong, but can't see who else to drop.

Banked transfer this week which is the first time this year. Just couldn't decide on my Costa replacement so I'll let them decide this week. May do a mini WC next week.

Sanchez, KDB, Payet, Mane, Mahrez
Costa (igahlo), Vardy

Dr. Bre

Took a minus -4 and went with pelle Capt.

Going back to having an off grid matchday. See yis after motd to revel in my 100 pointer...

Armband on KDB at the moment.

Just used one of my FT's, Martial out, Bony in.

SlickRic

Team was in a jock unfortunately so had to go hard to get it acceptable.

Never ever taken a -12 but it was needed i think. Probably a stupid move!

Muniesa ----> Nyom
Mata ----> Payet
Sakho ----> Lukaku
Costa ----> Kane

Begovic
Nyom Bellerin JOS (Or Naughton)
KDB Mahrez Sanchez Payet
Pellé Lukaku Kane (c)

There are still issues, but nothing that can't now gradually be fixed. Especially in defence.

Rikand

Took a -12 and still no Vardy ?

Brave man!

I'm not set up too well this GW with double Leicester against Dawson and no Southampton :eek:, or the popular strikers like Bony, Lukaku, Kane. Hopefully my differentials come through, Ayoze in particular

ElTel wrote: »

Negative. I put Howard in my WC for this week and have to play him at home to Sunderland. Just Dawson starting for me, please forgive me Tony for I have forsaken you

Mike Ehrmantraut

Great stuff Mr P, that song is gonna be forever changed for me.
Hedging my bets a bit, Myhill and Vardy starting, Mahrez benched as first sub.

IsMiseMyself

Benched Martial and giving Wijnaldum another go in my starting 11!

Myhill,
Van Dijk, Bellerin, Dier,
Wij, Mahrez, Sanchez, Payet, KDB (c)
Vardy, Pelle

Should be a good scoring week, but anytime anyone thinks that it seems to be a stinker!

Hoping that Leicester DESTROY Pulisball.

Wombatman

Have KDB Bony Pelle and Lukaku.

Who do I captain?

Wombatman

Ultimate Battle is right.

AOA with Mahrez where Dawson (WBA) drops to bench?

Cypher_sounds

I have resisted temptation to bring in either Bony or Mane.
I'm happy with keeping Martial he will be among the goals again sooner rather than later.
I got Sagna for Richards thinking more long term. Going with 4-3-3 for the first time this season.

Myhill
Bellerin Sagna Bertrand Evans
Sanchez KDB Payet
Martial Pelle(c) Vardy

Mr.Prodston

Howard
Dawson - Davies - Bertrand
Eriksen - Ayew - Sanchez - KdB (c)
Pelle - Lukaku - Bony

Elliot: Jarvis - Moreno - Souare

I think we all know I've probably cursed Pulisball today but a man can dream.

Who is your 5th mid out of interest?

Sanchez KDB(c) Payet Mahrez
Pelle Vardy Lukaku

McCarthy Targett Westwood Ward

Still can't believe I own Lukaku after what he done to me in the final game of 2013/14 (scored hatrick off the bench when I benched him, cost me many leagues). Now is your time to repay me.

Surman.

The strong front 8 is something I've never had because I can't handle the headache.

I'll have it once when I time it for AOA. That's it.

Simpson away Pulisball,

or Moreno away to Chelsea?

Can't help but think Liv - Che feels like a 0-0

Lights On

Time to join in the madness I guess, only right after lurking all season! Decided to double up on City defenders for the first time this season, hopefully it pays off! Also one of the few who hopes Pulisball fails spectacularly

Myhill
Smalling, Kolarov, Kompany

Going with Pelle (C), almost everyone else is going for KdB. This could go wrong.

Took a -4, 3 defenders out (Zab, Gomez, Richards) 3 in (Bellerin, Moreno and Bertrand).
