Friday night football.

Foster
Friend, Amat, PVA
Firmino, Sanchez, Redmond, Deulofeu
Kun(C), Costa, Vardy

Might catch a few people out with the friday night kick off.

Good luck all.

Cantona's Collars

Can't see further than captain Aguero.Zlatan to tear Southampton a new one also.

Scorpion Sting

Bit early I thi .... ah forget it!


Heaton
Amat Shaw Friend
Sanchez Hazard Redmond Lamela
Vardy (c) Aguero Gray

Jaku - Stones Capoue Souaré


I think Vardy will do well against Arsenal who are going to be missing some key players. Hopefully another high-scoring week for my team to improve on my 160k ranking.

Redmond or Ramirez was my only real decision.

Which 3 defenders to play out of these 5?

Amat (HUL) Shaw (SOU) Baines (wba) Stones (stk) Friend (sun)

Currently on Amat, Shaw and Baines, even though I think Stones and Friend have reasonable chances of CS. Baines' attacking potential against a toothless WB means he's a cert. Amat and Shaw at home seem the most likely CS.

Any thoughts? It is what you a call a "nice" problem". But can't help feeling I'll leave some points on the bench.

Foster
Friend stones Valencia
Mahrez tadic Townsend Oscar mane
Aguero c. Vardy
Sub diomande. Amat souare
I expect mane not to play but not sure if amat should start ahead of any of the other defenders

spock.

Foster
Valencia Stones Amat
Alli Hazard Redmond Routledge
Aguero Kane(c) Vardy

(Jaku - Friend Capoue Souare)

Wasn't expecting to be able to bank a transfer so that's a nice bonus.

Xaniaj

Foster
Shaw, Stones, Amat
Mahrez, Redmond, Firmino(vc) , Lamela
Aguero(c), Ibra, Gray

Jak, Fletcher, Friend, Kone

Had a bit of a dilemma with what Def to start and no doubt Ive left my CS on the bench!

tailgunner

Foster
Valencia, Kone, Amat
Redmond, Lamela, Sanchez, Hazard (vc)
Gray, Vardy, Aguero (c)

Jakupovic, Stones, Capoue, Friend

Banked the transfer, and benched Stones for Kone. Might wuss out of that one yet though.

dsmythy

De Gea

Sagna Kingsley Evans

Barkley Hazard Davis Eriksen

Aguero Zlatan(c) Gray

Sub: Jak Capoue Friend Mee

Friend and Mee could end up off the bench. Still see Capoue as bench fodder but might play him instead of Davis.

Only real decision for me is whether I start Capoue or Redmond, leaning towards Capoue at the moment

Mike Ehrmantraut

Finding it tough to decide on back 3
At the moment it's

Heaton
Shaw, stones, Amat
Firmino, Lamela, Tadic, Mahrez
Ibra(vc), Aguero(c), Gray

Jakupovic, Friend, Kone, Capoue

Redmond all day long for me. I know Capoue scored last week, but I do not think he is suddenly going to become a regular goal scoring midfielder. Also, I would not expect much attacking output from Watford v Chelsea.

On the other hand, Redmond looks to be playing as a forward in a team that has not lost at Old Trafford since the Fergie era. I would fancy Southampton to nick at least a goal and Redmond seems as likely as anyone to be invovled

Gaillimh1976

Can't decide between double Pulisball - Foster & Evans (worked out nicely last week !!!!) or Foster & Amat with Evans on bench



Foster (Jaku)

Stones/Shaw/Amat (Evans, Friend)

Tadic/Silva/Lamela/Mahrez/Oscar

Vardy/CaptKun (Diomande)

Seems to be a split decision ... some are benching him, others are not.

Form over fixtures would suggest that you should start him but Capoue also has form.

For me it comes down to Redmond is an attacking MF playing up front and Capoue is a defensive midfielder who occasionally gets foward.

Well they wont get caught out now!

AdMMM

Rolling over my transfer but just trying to decide whether or not to start Gray.

How was he against Swansea last week?

If I take him out, my options are to bring in either Evans in defence or Capoue in midfield - which would be better?

Well Feghouli's injury means they'll both play for me now, unless I replace Feghouli this week. Replacement options aren't great though!

I thought his performance was encouraging. Like any striker he thrives on confidence. I think he will do well once he gets that first goal.

Any word on Lukaku?

Manutd_4life

Should I make any changes or am I ready to go:? :

De Gea
Shaw, Stones, Amat
Redmond, Lamela, Townsend, Hazard
Aguero, Vardy, Gray

Subs: Jaku, Morgan, Friend, Feghouili

Could not decide which players to bench. So to heck with it. Bench boost triggered!

Morgan for Stones maybe but only marginally. Otherwise looks good.

Debating whether to bench boost with Heaton, Amat, Friend and Fletcher on the bench.
Prb best to hold off another couple of weeks.

ChippingSodbury

New to this, need help (have to beat an 11 year old!!)
Adrian
Stones Kingsley Friend
Snodgrass(V) Mahrez Mane Willian Cabaye
Kane(C) Origi

Hart Fonte van Dijk Long

The team got picked at 1am last Fri night so not the best! Hart is for the door for GW3. Also need to get rid of either van Dijk or Fonte as both from same team. What do you think?

Mane is an injury doubt, and Origi will most likely be a sub unless Mane is injured, so both of them is too much

Long term I don't see Origi starting many games, so maybe move him on ??

really dont like these Friday evening game weeks
takes a lot of the fun out of it
also I don't think it will matter too much for people who miss the deadline this week
most will have aguero or maybe zlatan captain anyway and will have 2 FT next week

Yup. Just to really fry our brains, missing the first Friday deadline of the season will actually probably benefit the pesky casuals!

I think with it been united at home, and sky hyping up Mourinho's first home game, I wouldn't expect a lot of people to miss out.

Ideally what we need is watford away to west brom or something like that on a friday night to catch out alot of people.

you are overestimating a lot of the casuals interest in actual football

mectavba

Have they announced how many Friday night matches there will be? There was just one last year if I recall correctly?

Settled on the following line up, having banked my transfer:

Foster

Amat, Baines, Shaw

Oscar, Firmino, Redmond, Ramirez

Aguero (C), Zlatan, Vardy

Subs: Jako, Stones, Friend, Hojbjerg

Slightly worried that Man City and Boro could keep clean sheets, but have to make a call somewhere.

Planning to go Oscar & Vardy > Hazard & Benteke after the weekend, unless there is compelling reasons not to come Sunday night.

Wish I had a Boro attacker, probably be JOS and Djilbodji at CB

Makes my decision easier but probably hands him a price drop

10 for the season, I believe. Last season was only because of some nationalist party rally in Birmingham and police moved Villa-ManU

Maybe! Be interesting if there was a big captaincy swing but not this week.

Week 5 has a Friday night kick off (Liverpool/Chelsea). City are home to Bournemouth, having been away to united in week 4. Thats will be interesting

VVd and Fonte together is not your biggest problem - Southampton's defence may be decent.

Mane is injured but maybe not longterm. Origi is a far from guaranteed starter. Cabaye will not get you many points, and with chelsea looking better than last season already, Willian's start last year will probably look like an exception soon. Snodgrass should be a supporting fourth mid, not a vice captain. Defence is okay.

I'd prioritise shifting Origi, Cabaye, Willian in that order, and you need Man City and/or Man Utd coverage (Hart doesn't count but with adrian, he's low priority except for the likely price drops)

Well, firstly I would start PVA. If you have him, you would want him starting most weeks, especially at home and espcailly v Boro. I would take out Van Dijk.

Llorente is a punt against Hull, but Aguero/Hazard are the safer options, even if they are away.

Noble at home to Bou. coming in for Mane isn't too bad, so I don't think you are in too bad a position, but you might want to look into downgrading some defenders and reinvesting that money elsewhere.

internet_user

Transfer banked and going with this

Foster
Amat stones shaw
Mahrez Redmond lamela firmino
Aguero(C) vardy long

Subs - jakupovic, friend, capoue, fuchs

tom_k

I'm banking the transfer but uncertain about back three.

Valencia, Stones, Friend, Amat, McAuley.

Probably go for Valencia, Stones and Friend.

What would Jebus do?

Will be interesting to see how many posts are on here before deadline compared to a normal Saturday one

2 FT next week...

Any piece of advice on this?

I expect many people who look in on a Friday evening after work will see that the deadline is looming or indeed has already passed.
