Gameweek 38, the final surge!

Invincible

Best of luck to all of ye jostling for position in prize leagues!

Will probably go with Sanchez as captain.

Scorpion Sting

Darlow
Bellerin Simpson Cresswell
Sanchez Tadic Hazard Mahrez
Aguero (c) Carroll Giroud


Did Defoe out for Giroud yesterday. I had to transfer Payet for Tadic for -4 when I heard the news as I would be left with 10 players. I'm currently ranked just outside the top 10k. If I do end up making it there I'll consider this to be my finest season as I couldn't have possibly thought I'd make the top 10k 3 months ago when I was ranked 168k.

manual_man

Mannone
PVA Bellerin Smalling
Ozil KDB Iwobi Barkley
Lukaku Aguero(C) Kane

Hoping for a final week surge to break in to the top 500k :pac::pac:

spock.

DDG
Smalling Bellerin Cresswell
Sanchez Townsend Payet Hazard Mane
Deeney(c) Ighalo
(Carroll PVA Fuchs)

I'm at around 15k so it'll be difficult to break into the top 10k.
Will need Arsenal and City to stay queit and Watford to score a few.

Texas Jack

Captain Giroud

Officer999

Any chance we get the team lineups before 2pm?

Cartman78

DDG

Morgan Valencia Gabriel

Lanzini Spacecraft Hazard Sanchez (C)

Carroll Giroud Aguero

Subs: Darlow Payet PVA Evans


Not great on paper, no subs....did not envisage having a double donkey attack for the last GW but Payet's injury means Big Andy stays and Giroud will surely grab a couple.

Have a 16 point lead (thank you PVA) in my crappy work league. Main rival has made one transfer this GW which I suspect is Carroll to Giroud. He has Payet and Milner so will just about field a 4-3-3 with double Arsenal and United defence.

Anything from Spacecraft or Hazard should see me over the line hopefully.

Anyway good luck to all, especially ElTel and co near the top of OR

Edit: gonna be off WiFi for the next few hours...have popped Payet back into starting XI just in case...big Andy first sub

IsMiseMyself

Hart,
VVD, Bellerin, Smalling,
Hazard, Payet, Tadic, Sanchez (c)
Defoe, Giroud, Aguero.

Subs: Lanzini, Simpson, PvA.

Obviously Lanzini and Simpson are likely to play, which isn't ideal but isn't too bad either!

Mint Sauce

Last week. Did someone to Sanchez, and took a four point hit transferring Lukaku to someone else. But Captaincy on Sanchez, not looked at it since Thursday. Dont think will look at it again till this evening, been a horrid season.

Lemlin

It's the first final day in a few years where I can sit back and enjoy it.

It'd be nice to push into the top 5k from where I lie at 5297 but I've unassailable leads in my money leagues and that's what counts.

Final team on AOA is:

Cech
Gabriel, Simpson
Payet, Tadic, Mahrez, KDB, Sanchez (c)
Aguero, Carroll, Martial

Robles, Cresswell, Ward, PVA

-4 taken to get Aguero and Tadic in for Alli and Studge.

I also expect Busts to deservedly take the FSA Premier League after leading it for most of the season. There's no shame in finishing second to him. Top notch player and forum contributor.

Anybody got clean sheet odd handy?

How do Southampton look?

They're 11/10 on with PP. United only evens surprisingly enough.

I'm on AOA also. One thing that has me stumped though is Payet.
On AOA, if be doesn't play nobody is automatically subbed in.
Can't decide should I not play AOA, stick Payet into the starting 11 and if he doesn't play, a sub will be automatically put in.
Arrgh!

It's far from over I have a tough game this week. Would be great to win but if I don't it would be nice to see you win it. A true veteran of the game.
Cech in for henessey for me
Cech
Kone pva cresswell
Payet Sanchez Ozil townsend mahrez
Aguero lukaku
Carroll Morgan Daniels
Sanchez captain
A few pay leagues in the bag the big one for 900 is going down to the wire I'm 8 pts clear.
Off to a christening as the godfather so gonna miss most of the action. Best of luck to all.

km79

getting tempted more and more by payet to ozil.......it feels like an "ozil" game......

Mr.Prodston

Darlow
Bellerin - Gabriel - Smalling
Spacecraft - Sanchez (c) - Mane - Mirallas
Aguero - Carroll - Rashford

Robles: Payet - PVA - Cresswell
-4

Whatever the hell happens today I've managed to reach 26k after a hellish season so whatever happens now, happens.

Having PVA, Spacecraft and Aguero lead the march to respectability over the past month means a lot. One last roll of the dice with Mirallas today but I don't expect much.

As always even through the crushing pain it's been a pleasure to trudge along with all of ye. Here's to a successful afternoon for all of us, or as many people who have my players at least :pac:

We are the FSA

Eh?

Surely if you play AOA and Payet doesn't play, a defender will come in and you'll go to 3-4-3?

Up in the rules:
The chip is still played. If you use your All Out Attack chip to select a 2-5-3 formation and a midfielder or forward doesn't play then the bonus is lost, the chip isn't returned.

I'd take that to mean if a mid or a forward doesn't play it's tough tiddies.
(Would love to be corrected as it's a mind fcuk otherwise!)

Your defender will sub in.

Happened me when I used it a while ago. Don't worry.

Cheers! This is a terrific bet, Bournemouth are on the beach already and United have only conceded 8 (yes 8!) goals at home this season by far the best in the league :eek:

And to make it even better, United are now 6/5 for the clean sheet and a €20 bet on it gives you 2x free €5 bets in play on the same game. Thanks for the tip!

This was also my transfer this week - de Gea in for Mignolet as the latter shouldn't play and I like the clean sheet potential. In fairness a goalkeeper transfer is a waste most weeks but I don't like having only 10 playing and I'm happy with outfield options.

I line up: De Gea, Bellerin, Gabriel, Baines, KdB, Sanchez, Hazard, Lanzini, Tadic, Long, Aguero

So Mata is nailed for at least 3 so
May double Valencia with smalling yet

Dubstar07

Gone Lanzini to Tadic with my FT, Giroud needed a hit which I don't want to take

Team lines up as

Mannone
Bellerin Smalling Simpson
Payet Spacecraft Mahrez Sanchez Tadic
Kun(tc) Kane

Robles Carroll Fosu Evans

Be glad when this gw is over, been a terrible season. Good luck all..until August

MarkSRFC21

Transfers done. (-4) but as has been pointed out its only really a -2 at most
Anyway, this is how I line up

DDG
Smalling - Bellerin - Cresswell
Tadic - Mané - Sanchez(c) - Mahrez -
Martial - Aguero - Carroll

Mig - Payet - Simpson - PVA

On the edge of top 50k so hopefully finish on the right side of 50k. Bit risky doubling up on saints but getting Tadic and mane solves the dilemma of which one, and outside of an arsenal mid I can't see a lot of options. A big Sanchez haul and a UTD cleanie would set me up nicely. Anyway, for the last time this year, best of luck and I hope it's a good one.

shineon23

Any word about a liverpool team sheet leak? Has there been word of major rotation again?

I'd like Mignolet and Sturridge to play if possible.

Have Robles as my sub GK

Decided to go for Long & Tadic in, hopefully Southampton steamroll Palace today. Not sure who I'm using my TC on yet, Tadic is tempting me

Big Sam preparing for the final game of season by slouching on the couch on Goals on Sunday. The chap couldn't care less about this game. Watford could run riot

Mig is in the squad at least, didn't recognize any other of the regular XI

Blurry as anything but didn't look like Payet got off bus

IsMiseMyself

Consensus on Twitter seems to be that there was no Payet on the bus. Emphasis on 'seems'.

Paully D

(-4). Looks like I'll be rolling with 10 players.

Cech
Bellerin Cresswell Moreno
Tadic Sanchez (C) Mahrez Lanzini
Aguero Martial Defoe
Subs: Mignolet, Firmino, Fuchs, van Aanholt

Necronomicon

Periscope not conclusive evidence, but I can't take any more tension so Payet out. My team:

Cech
Cresswell Smalling PVA
Sanchez(c) Eriksen Willian Tadic Mahrez
Kane Aguero

Robles, Defoe, Simpson, Moreno

Don't expect PVA to play, but in the off chance he does I'd rather have him than Simpson. I wouldn't expect a cameo so it should be all or nothing. If I knew Defoe was starting I might start him ahead of Mahrez.

sheroman01

Are people taking hits to replace Payet? I'm on -4 as it is and have BB in play so not gonna bother.

LightsStillOn

That was the longest 15 minutes ever! And while I'm 99.9% sure I confirmed my TC the doubt is still there until I see it live :pac:

IsMiseMyself

I feel weirdly nervous now! 60 points ahead in my most important league. Hanging out at 50k. Hoping to crack inside of 50k. One last week. Let's do this!

km79

I've decided to play Fuchs (hope ranieiri does too) as he is very attacking and I've a sneaky feeling for him and there will be goals in that game imo
and of course it also allowed me then to sign Mata which is always a good feeling
Forster (Adrian )
smalling bellerin Fuchs ( PVA smith)
Sanchez (c) mahrez hazard Townsend MATA
aguero long (Carroll)
17 pt lead in remaining ML
let's do this

Thepoet85

No payet.

Paully D

Pickford, Yedlin, T Robson, O’Shea, Kone, Larsson, Rodwell, Lens, Watmore Greenwood, N’Doye.

Substitutes: Mannone, Jones, Brown, Defoe, M’Vila, Honeyman, Khazri.

Gomes (GK); Cathcart, Britos, Prödl, Ake; Abdi, Guedioura, Watson, Jurado; Deeney (c), Ighalo.

Pantilimon (GK), Nyom, Paredes, Suarez, Anya, Berghuis, Amrabat.

spock.

Defoe bench, no pva

LightsStillOn

Palace team looks lovely and weak, TC Tadic it's time to shine

IsMiseMyself

I left Defoe in my starting XI. Not pushed. Have Lanzini coming in for Payet and Simpson waiting in the wings if Defoe doesn't make an appearance.

Excellent. Pending transfers, I don't think my main rival will be able to field 11. He made his transfers on Friday before the Pva/Payet drama so fingers crossed!

Had to take a -12 to get this team, but I am over 55 points ahead in my main money league, so I think I can afford that hit

Best of luck everyone today, hope it works out for you

FutureGuy

OUT: Firminho, Fabregas, Carroll, Payet

IN: TADIC, MANE, SANCHEZ, GIROUD

Big gamble on Villa and Palace being massacred.


Let's do this!!!
