Gameweek 11 Matchday Thread.

Invincible

Almost forgot there's a Friday night game!

Going with:

Ramsdale

Livramento Duffy Taa

Townsend Salah Son Gallagher

Vardy Hwang Ronaldo

Salah for captain.

Good luck all 🙂

Lemlin

Ramsdale

Rudiger, Cancelo, Christensen

Salah, Foden, Raphinha, Smith Rowe

Antonio, Ings, Vardy

Subs: Foster, Livramento, Duffy, Douglas Luiz

Ings won't play and I've 3.1 million in the bank. Any suggestions for a -4 people think would cover it? I had thought about Auba but I've got Smith Rowe.

Jimenez ?

I’m thinking that alright. Ings has two weeks to recover and then plays Norwich.

Cheese Wagstaff

Incredibly tempted by 5 at the back. Currently looking at this, any thoughts?

Father Hernandez

Wanted to keep 2 transfers for after the international break but caved and did Azpi to James.

Chilwell, James (VC), Livramento, White

Mbuemo, Salah (C), Raphinha

Hoping for Arsenal, Chelsea CS's really to bulk up some points. (And Liverpool CS to justify benching Antonio).

Good luck all

It’s expected Mount may not play. I saw mention of a problem with his Wisdom teeth.

Only a matter of time until Villa equalise here. All over Saints.

Cartman78

Yikes....I seem to be surrounded by fellas with treble Chelsea defence in my mini leagues.

Only have Azpi myself so wouldn't be too against the notion of Chris Wood banging a meaningless goal in at some point

Fitz*

Livramento was comfortably in the 2 bps zone, but has now fallen back to fighting for 1.

I'll take the CS! Squeaky bum time.

Mr.Nice Guy

2nd week in a row I benched Livramento.

extra gravy

Had such a benching headache this week, ended up benching Livra but couldn't see which one of the front 7 to drop.

Father Hernandez

Livramento CS, lovely.

He fell out the arse of the bonus points though, what happened there?

In the last twenty minutes he lost the ball alot. The Saints central defenders probably picked up a lot of points too as Villa were hoofing the ball at them and had some corners so they had alot of headed clearances.

Considering Villa looked odds on to score at the start of the second half, I’m delighted with the CS.

Fitz*

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118125337#Comment_118125337

Only watched the last 10 mins but he looked wrecked. He could barely move but I'm guessing he gave the ball away once or twice and that went against him.

thomasm

Livramento is the gift who keeps giving

Father Hernandez

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118125394#Comment_118125394

The 21/22 Lundstram.

Fitz*

Everyone that started Livramento will be brought back down to earth tomorrow when everyone else inevitably has him sub in because some one else doesn't play!

Ace2007

Brought McCarthy in on WC after GW3, and he's kept 5 CS what a hero :)

GetWithIt

Stage 1 of project “Big at the Back” complete. 4 more to go.

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118125313#Comment_118125313

Same dilemma, couldn't drop Antonio for Tino. Blind loyalty to the Villa won out. Need to develop a ruthless streak and prioritise form before everything else. Anyway, the weekend is young and a back three of James, Chilwell & TAA will surely deliver.

Muahahaha

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118125306#Comment_118125306

3rd week he is first on the bench for me but the last two he came off the bench for Azpi and Mbeumo and he made two red arrows a lot smaller than they would have been. Kind of hoping for a non starter in my 11 now but opted to stick with Antonio. That could be a mistake becasue yet again he looked a bit laboured vs Genk during the week.

Livra is now on 31 points over his last 5 GWs and in my front line Antonio is on 10 from 4, Jiminez 25 and Vardy 18. They all need to haul this weekend to catch him. Only realised this week he was Chelseas player of the year in their academy last season and they have a 25m buy back clause on him. He has also been capped for England U-21. He has Norwich next so I reckon he has to be started in a 4-4-2

Chesty08

Took a -4 & had a 6 pointer from Livramento.

Dropped 3.5k places to 49k OR. Must be a lot of players with McCarthy, played Livra and/or who didn’t take a hit

Surprised by the dropped tbh.

Team:

Sa

Livra James Christensen Dias

Salah (c) Raphina Foden Son

Aubameyang Toney

Subs: Duffy Antonio McArthur

Son and Aubameyang my main differentials this week

Best of luck all

Fitz*

Somehow Chelsea had Reece James, Lamptey & Livramento in their academy around the same time!

Chesty08

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118126473#Comment_118126473

2021 Tino was academy player of the year

2018 James was academy player of the year.

Bit of a gap as James then went out on loan… just like James did when he won that award.

Gallagher & Gilmour both won the years in between and followed similar paths.

But for everyone of these there is a huge chunk of quality players & never get the break through.

Chelsea pump a lot of money into buying up all the top young teenagers

Cancelo assist surely

Fitz*

Cancelo assist

Mr.Nice Guy

Having left Livramento on my bench yesterday, Cancelo is my first sub. 😭

Dr. Bre

Great finish by bailly

crushproof

Doesn't look like Foden will be in many scoring positions today, hopefully grab an assist at least

Fitz*

Another Cancelo assist!

Bilva goal.

Everybody in the stadium confused by the goal.

crushproof

Cancelo owners chuffed, eurgh!

Mr.Nice Guy

FFS another Cancelo assist and I can't see him coming into my team. Duffy missing out might be my best chance but can't see that.

dr.kenneth noisewater

Cancelo first sub, was between him and Antonio

siblers

Good man Cancelo. Shocking by DDG
