Francis up for me in the early game.
Surprised that he's at centre back.

he was last week as well

Myhill
Bertrand Kolarov Ward
Sanchez Mahrez Payet Kdb
Vardy (c) Pelle Kane

Mané first sub.

Considered taking Kane out for Lukaku, but figured I'd bet on Kane's form instead. This way I'll have 2 FT for the international break as well.

3rd and 5th in my money league have benteke captain
guy in 4th has him too
need him to blank and west brom to concede
ideally to mata !

I actually think its getting closer to the Lampard-Ronaldo-Gerrard-Fabregas every GW:eek:

Going with:

Myhill
Kompany Smalling Monreal
Sanchez Mahrez Payet KDB
Vardy Bony(C) Lukaku

Bench:
Redmond Wollscheid Martin

Starting the week with -8 (F*ck you combination of drink and long bus journeys!)
For some reason, expecting red arrows this week.

stiffler123

De Gea
Rojo, Azpilicueta, Bertrand
KDB, Payet, Sanchez, Mahrez
Pelle(C), Lukaku, Ighalo

-12. Think thats 56 points worth of hits I've taken now, I am taking a step back from points hits for the foreseeable.

dahat

I'm out on my own captaining KDB in my main league!!

I'm in 50 Shades of ****e if Vardy goes nuts though.

Mr. Guappa

Brought in Moreno for Zabaleta with my FT. Leaves me with:

Gomes
Moreno, van Dijk, Cawson
Sanchez, de Bruyne, Mahrez, Ayew, Payet
Pellé, Lukaku (C)

A very punty captain choice but felt it was a week to gamble. Only Berahino on the bench.

I've been taking quite regular -4 and -8 hits and I'm having one of my better seasons so far.

I ain't scared

is the site struggling for anyone?

DarraghF197

Forgetting to confirm my team, I have a slightly changed side due to my AOA weekend last time out! In comes McAuley and out goes Mahrez who I was hoping to captain.

Myhill
Bertrand Bellerin McAuley
Sanchez De Bruyne (c) Mane Payet
Vardy Berahino Pelle

Please Pulis, don't play Berahino, PLEASE!!

Working fine so far.

But have had many troubles in recent weeks. The last 2 I just couldn't have access to the site while games were actually being played. Was loading forever. Was back to normal (but slow) the evening.

Aenaes

Butland
Kolarov Smalling Bertrand
KDB Mahrez Ozil Payet Sanchez
Ighalo Vardy(C)

I'm 16 points behind the leader in my league, he's starting to copy my team so the only differentials I have playing this week are Butland, Kolarov and Bertrand.
He has Myhill, Cresswell and Dawson. He even captained Vardy aswell.

If I can make any sort of gain over him I'll be happy.

Feel kind of alone captaining Bony...

City in form, playing against the bottom team, I thought it would have been fairly common. No one in my leagues captained him, all Vardy, Sanchez and Kane.

I am not looking forward to watching Vardy play later.

spock.

Huge variance in captains in my leagues.
Come on Mahrez(c)

Vardy will do nothing. And that's not a jinx.

Hopefully some of this again today.

Did the same. Strangely enough its Sanchez rather than Vardy who I'll have to watch in terror.

As per usual. Their servers are pathetic.

They're terrible. Not even close to PL quality.

I'm a gooner and Sanchez has looked wrecked the past two or three games.

And Derby day is never a sure thing

if Elliot keeps a clean sheet today and de gea concedes I'll vomit

No surprise to see one of their two wins has come against Sunderland anyway. Their fixtures over Christmas are horrendous too. If they don't get anything here I honestly can't see them picking up another point until January.

The problem with a template is that by the time it becomes a template it's in most cases no longer the best option. It becomes a template based on what's happened in the past not what will happen in the future. Of course we need to take a lot of notice of what's happened to date but just as important is what you think will happen in the future and not to be afraid to make decisions based on that.

Presumably he benched elliot and played DeGea!

Home away attraction causing hassle!

It's like Early games you just want your team to take clean sheets away and Sunday/Monday games you're usually hoping for a brace for your 2nd striker, red card for your rivals keeper and your CB to keep a cleanie and score a set piece header ha!

manual_man

Elliott
Rojo Moreno Kolarov
Sanchez Mane Mahrez KDB
Pelle Costa Martial

Go on Elliott! Racking up the saves

Another good save. All Bournemouth so plenty of time for more.

AdMMM

Dropped Mignolet to the bench and went with Elliot. Has made some fantastic saves!

Why would anyone ever be kicking themselves over not playing Elliot away to Bournemouth ahead of De Gea at home to West Brom.

I didn't kick myself over not transferring in and captaining Kone last week.

last week played begovic not Elliot
with all the talk of Elliot being a doubt this week I went ahead with begovic to de gea as part of a -4 instead of chancing elliot

Ah I see, I understand now. The 4 points makes sense.

Same really haha, nobody literally kicks themselves or vomits over these things. They're phrases that really mean the same thing.

I don't really concern myself with the opportunity cost of my decisions unless it's a close run decision or I look back and wonder how I made that decision in the first place.

true
I was annoyed last week though cos there was a genuine decision to make between begovic and Elliot and I went with reputation !

Rikand

Welp. Should have played Bellerin. Will be selling Francis asap

Myhill
Bertrand Sakho Daniels
Mane Mahrez Sanchez KDB(vc)
Lukaku Vardy Bony (c)

Newcastle scoring with their only shot is annoying as a Francis owner
