Stinker of a day today. Captain fail with Payet and Pieters getting 0 points when he was looking good for a clean sheet with Leicester down to 10. I'm in a bit of trouble in my leagues if Kane goes goal crazy tomorrow. Nearly everybody has him captained.

Yep, who'd have thunk that Amat would outscore Pieters?

Jones unlucky not to get the bonus point.

Utd CS

33(-4) with four to play including capt. For the second week in a row my defence is keeping the score from being a disaster

Do yellows effect BAPs? I thought Rojo would have dropped back cause of his yellow

MEGA BRO WOLF 5000

Anyone know what the predicted average score will be tonight?

29 with 6 played...

He did but picked up more BPS after it. Even after the minus points for the yc were added he only dropped from 2bps to,1

Who did you play instead of Allen. Starting him against Leicester who had only picked up 1 point away from home before today's game was a no brainer for me.

Eriksen, llalana, Sanchez, Siggy, Costa, Kane, benteke.
Hard to call, probably could have dropped Benteke but I intend to use Allen as a first sub.

ElTel

49pts but only Sanchez Origi and Lallana to go.

raiders11

28(no transfers) , Ibra putting bit of respectability on score.

Lovren, Smith, Sanchez, Eriksen and Kane(c) to go..

Care to elaborate ?

Take two -

You said Ibra will be dropped next match, earlier in the thread.

Any chance you can elaborate ?

Scorpion Sting

Looks like 28 with Kane (c), Sanchez and Firmino to play.

Friend being benched absolutely killed me, damn you Karanka! Have had him all season and kept him thinking he'd start this one and when I saw he'd been benched I was raging. He has been so frustrating to own as I've benched him for a few hauls as well. De Roon of course scores when he's on my bench and it doesn't look like he'll come in. He featured for me in my last 2 gameweeks and I even played him in my AOA chip in GW15. If I'd have just waited until this gameweek.

eagle eye

19pts with Eriksen(C), Walcott, Sterling, Lallana, Kane and Lukaku to play.

BackforFPL

57 with Sanchez, Lallana & Vertonghen to play.

It'd be more if I wasn't thick!

Kenjataimu

34 with 4 left to play.

Bit sickening to see de Roon (10) & Love (6) on the bench though.

Cantona's Collars

30 with Sanchez,Lallana,Origi and Captain Kane to go.

FutureGuy

25 from 6.

Eriksen (c), Kane, Alderweireld, Mane and Origi to play.

For the vast majority of teams, both would have been on the bench.

Mint Sauce

13 points with 6 to play.


hmmmmmmm.

Western Pomise

18 from 5.....hoping Captain Arry does the business tomorrow.

Scorpion Sting

Dropped 5k to 174k. I need a big performance from Kane tomorrow or I'm goosed.

Sooner or Later

Oh dear oh dear!

28 with just VVD, Sanchez and Kane (c) to go

If Harry blanks it is going to be a disaster

spock.

20 with Kane, Alli, Forster, Daniels, Sanchez, Mane and Can to play.

Can probably won't play so Amat will sub in for 1.
Not great but a 0-0 in the early game tomorrow would turn it around.

Klonker

19 with 6 to play, a lot will depend on how captain Sanchez does tomorrow.

greedygoblin

32 from 7. Cedric, Alexis, Origi and Captain 'Arry left to go. De Roon first sub on the bench with his 10 points if any one of the latter trio miss out.

A green arrow would be nice for a change...

Not sure if I said dropped or rested but following on from Jose's interview he said he needs to rest his 35 year old striker over Xmas as it is too much for him. It won't be the next match cause there is sufficient break between now & then.. most likely will 1 after that.

42 points with Sanchez, Walcott, Cook and Mane to go.

Happy out

FHFC

That went better than expected. Motd a bit stressful when youre mainly wanting key players not to score and scrappy defenders to hang onto clean sheets.

Went with my gut and benched brunt for Chambers. 3 clean sheets from 3 so far from my defence and GK with Cedric to play.

31 from 6 is always a good return. I fear the Good Sat=Crap Sun principle now though.

Eriksen, Origi, Eriksen, Sanchez and Captain he who shall not be named.

Green arrow so far up to 154k.

He didnt say that at all. Be careful paraphrasing quotes from memory! The quotes are far from conclusive.

Mourinho was asked whether it was difficult to leave out Ibrahimovic. “Yes, it is,” the manager said. “Especially a guy like Zlatan [and] as a striker. Sometimes in other positions you can hide yourself a little more, protect yourself with experience and with position. As a striker he is one of the impossible positions where you can hide. He is phenomenal and plays again tomorrow and then one week to rest. Tomorrow is the last effort and then they will have a week without football – and that is a week my players need.

“I am not surprised at how good Zlatan has been. I knew from the physical point of view he could resist but obviously he cannot play 60 matches. I must give him a rest. He was suspended against Arsenal, so that game he did not play. In some matches in the Europa League he was on the bench, also against Northampton [in the EFL Cup]. So now and again I will find a way to give him a rest but as our target striker we can see he is the only one. And the way we normally play we need him.”

He'll almost certainly get a rest for the FA Cup match on the 7th and presumably won't play the EFL game. So they now have a nine day break, followed by 3 games in 8 days. After which if he skips the cup games, which has been the protocol so far he can have a fortnight off.

I'd be surprised if he misses a league game.

NinjaTruncs

No way is Ibra being rested, united can't afford to drop points particularly when those ahead are doing so obviously just my opinion, but he is far to important to Jose to rest particularly at the moment.

Totally agree, bought him a few weeks ago as a player who wouldn't be dropped over the festive period, maybe 35 but just seems too pivotal to Utd at the moment, I would have same opinion of Sanchez, cannot see him being rested bar cup game

I see you solved my observation-made-theory about captain obvious failure. 2 captains. How didn't I think of it before :pac:.

-

18 from 6 with defense failure. Today I pay the price for not having bought Pickford earlier... But magic De Roon will sub in for Pedro. Saving my GW so far. All on the hands of my big gunss now...

Smartholes.

FutureGuy

5-0 Spurs win and 5-1 Liverpool win with all their defenders getting sent off.

Please.

SlickRic

If Kane heavily outscores Alli, I'm not checking my team until St Stephen's Day morning.

And maybe not even then!
