    Fair play for putting in Ramsay. Never occurred to me. The leader has him aswell. Down to 7th provisionally. Don't have Coutinho, Ramsay, JWP or Broja and Walker was dropped. Nightmare



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Yeah those who got in early with the single Matchday Southampton players have got off to a good start.

    my preference was to wait and see the lineup before on the single Matchday to see who starts



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Same here. The only thing that really annoyed me was Walker not playing. 10 points down the drain. He is gone if he doesn't play on Saturday.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Nice bump for Ramsey owners. Don't have him myself but still gained 80 places since overhaul so can't complain. 4 players left to play later - Salah, Robertson, Gabriel, Kilman - would like a 0-0 draw for Wolves-Arsenal obviously. Captain currently on Robertson but will probably shift to Mo if he's starting.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Did you go for Broja in the end? Seriously looking at him in for Walker if Walker doesn't play on Saturday. What was your thinking behind putting in Gabriel considering they aren't playing over the weekend and in a couple of weeks time? I know they have the match with Wolves but you have Kilman for that. Starting to wish I had Kilman too now 😄

    Have Robertson, TAA and Jota tonight.

    Gonna go against the grain (I think) and captain Robertson.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I think having both Robertson and Jota is probably going against the grain anyway. If Salah doesn't play I would captain Trent because having the other two is a differential in itself. If Salah plays I would go for Robertson because everyone who has Salah will captain him. Trent owned by nearly 90% of the top 100 so if he hauls and is captained it will hurt those who don't captain him.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,264 ✭✭✭✭manual_man


    Didn't go for Broja no. May look at him or JWP shortly. Decided to go for Gabriel after their dgw26 was announced. I know there's no gw25 or gw27 but the way I looked at it I have the best captain option for their gw26 game Vs Wolves, and I don't have to worry about using up a transfer to get that Arsenal player in (granted, so long as Gabriel stays fit).



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Tricky enough captain choice for tomorrow-I have no United and unsure on Pep rotation v Norwich. I’ll probably just go with Cancelo and hope that he starts



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I have 7 players playing tomorrow and I don't fancy any of them for captain to be honest. They could all do well or do nothing or not play. I think everyone will captain Cancelo tomorrow. Apart from the guy who is leading, whatever he does turns to gold 😃

  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    yeah I had a quick look at the ff stuff captain poll:

    Cancelo-52%

    Ronaldo-27%



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Maybe Laporte? They are hardly resting everybody. This is going to be one of these days where there will be movement on the leaderboard I think because of the uncertainty.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Guy leading has a blanket City defence. Dias, Laporte,Walker and Cancelo. Miles ahead now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Which player did he captain?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    He captained Ronaldo. I did too in the end because I wasn't confident on Cancelo starting. Wished I had some backbone and captained Walker.

    He has Ramsay, Jota, TAA and Pope. Not sure on the other 2 players. Basically means if City keep a clean sheet he gains and no one else does.

    Doesn't have Salah either. Should be interesting to see how he does with Jota on the bench.

    The wheels fell off my no United plan last night-dropped out of the top 100 as a result. I’m going to stick with the plan though

    Like a lot of people I’ll be getting Kilman in this weekend, probably for Laporte



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I plan on putting in Kilman for Laporte too. Can't see why I would take out Cancelo. City not playing much the next while and plenty of scope for rotation although last night's result probably meant they will go full strength again in the league.

    I used a couple of transfers mainly to get Van Dijk in for Walker, I couldn't do it in 1. I didn't want Walker in long term. Stones can easily play instead of him. Plan on keeping Van Dijk now. Should have had him in from the start of overhaul. Haven't decided what to do with Southampton's and Spurs' single days in the next few weeks. Ronaldo's next 2 matches are Leeds and Watford. He is a potential captain if he plays both days.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    On Liverpool, I also have VVD and TAA-I’d be tempted to get Robertson in too but I’m not seeing an obvious hop on point (would be for either Kilman or Webster).



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I think I would be looking at getting on Chelsea defenders with the games in hand they have. You can get 5 matches off Kilman (6 if you include him as a captain) before hopping onto Chelsea for the Newcastle home match. I don't know whether you were considering putting Laporte back in for the Palace match on the following night. When the League Cup Final is played, City will have played 27, Liverpool 26, Chelsea 25, Wolves 26 and Brighton 26. Arsenal would have played 24 but their games in hand are against Liverpool, Spurs and Chelsea.

    Not sure what I am doing with Webster, might just leave him there to be honest.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Do you already have a wolves (or Arsenal) player for the single game day?

    On the Southampton single game day I’ll either go one of two ways (barring an injury beforehand):

    1. Skip it
    2. Bowen to Ward Prowse. A bit of a risk I know, but Bowen with a couple of tricky fixtures at that point. Bowen would miss the Wolves and Liverpool game. I would then get him back in for March 13th.

    No, I have to put a Wolves player in, I wouldn't put an Arsenal player in because they blank on League Cup Final day. It's going to be Kilman, I would like Sa but I don't want to take out Pope because he has a single day against Leicester coming up.

    With Southampton if I wanted Broja I would have to take out Ronaldo or a defender cos I am playing 5-3-2. I have Raphinha, I could take him out for Ward Prowse I guess. You would need Bowen I think for the Wolves match on the Sunday. Would you captain Kilman there?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Yeah i would be captaining Kilman for the West Ham game (if I get rid of Bowen). As good as Bowen has been, Wolves have been very solid at the back so a clean sheet wouldn’t be too surprising.

    I moved Raphinha on to Ramsey during the week-in hindsight probably a move I didn’t need to make. Could have kept Raphinha and then move to Ward Prowse.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Ramsey was my other transfer which I needed to make to get Van Dijk in. I took out Gallagher. 1 goal in the last 8 matches. I know he plays Watford and Burnley after the Chelsea match but he didn't do much against Norwich and Brentford so thought it was worth the gamble.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Yeah I got burned by taking out Gallagher earlier in the season so I’m reluctant to take him out despite his form and him missing the Chelsea game.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I wouldn't be captaining Gallagher so happy to take the gamble on it. Kept Raphinha mainly due to the fact he is a captain option for a couple of gamedays. Bielsa is mad if he stops playing him.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    The top 3 at the moment all have Jota I think so should be interesting to see how this plays out.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    P

    presume most of those will move onto a Southampton player (if they aren’t already covered)



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    They rearranged more matches today. Looks like we all need to get Wolves and Southampton players now. Maybe Everton too.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Webster not playing today, Kilman in for him I think.



  • Advertisement
  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Yeah definitely the obvious move now. I had planned Laporte to Kilman but it will be Webster now.


    A shame we didn’t get early news on his groin injury-I would have got Broja in for him if we got some early news on it



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Same here. I am thinking of doing TAA to Broja after Wednesday since Southampton play 3 times in the same period while Liverpool play only once plus one of the matches is a captaincy cover.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    Interesting-I haven’t really looked into that but seems like a good option if you have above average transfers left



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I have 16 left now but I don't mind making a transfer if there is an opportunity to be made from it. You have more than me. Are you still thinking of taking out Bowen for Ward Prowse?



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    I may go with the proposed Liverpool to Southampton route instead. On reflection, Bowen just a bit too highly owned to take him out. Perhaps an unnecessary risk



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    With West Ham playing Wolves on the Sunday, I'd rather Bowen than Kilman for a captain. Ronaldo out for me on Wednesday to Kane or Son I think.

    Person in 4th Dave has Broja but never set as captain.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I went with Ward Prowse cos the leader and some of the others in top 10 already had Broja. Happy to oppose some players on 50/50 calls.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    I haven't been following it lately but good to see you are still in the running claw. Only 20 off the lead so all to play for.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Chipping away at it. The leader was 60 ahead at one stage but he has come back to the pack now.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Back up to 2nd after last night mainly due to the guy ahead of me not having Pope. Saw a few people putting in a Leicester player presumably Tielemans. Not sure why people are making transfers before we know who is through in the FA Cup.

  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Anyone else's points total changed in the last while. I have been given more points from somewhere in both of my teams.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    Hmm I seem to have moved up the rankings as I was just outside 1k and now I'm just inside so you are correct. No idea who got the points though.

    I'm going to take some captain punts on Maddison and Saka this weekend I think for the craic. I think Maddison will have a field day against Leeds.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    yeah my points stayed the same but dropped a few places.

    im planning to get in early on Chelsea with either:

    1. Broja to Rudiger
    2. Broja to Rudiger and Laporte to T, Silva

    no obvious jump on point to get on Chelsea so I’m considering the options above noting no fixture gain



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I am up 4 points in both teams so I can only presume they added bonus points for a captain I had a while back. No idea who.

    I can't work out what to do with Leicester. I don't like the way their fixtures are spread over the next while but Maddison is a good punt I think. Definitely has a big score in him. Same with Saka.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I haven't decided what to do with Chelsea. Probably put in Rudiger only but no idea who for. I like Silva but is there not a risk he gets rested. Not touching Alonso anyway because he doesn't get the passing.



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,675 ✭✭✭thunderdog


    my transfers for this weekend are Broja to Rudiger today and Pope to Ramsdale tomorrow. Will wait another game or two before getting more Chelsea in



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    I will put Rudiger in but still not sure. Ramsdale in for Pope is a good move. Lots of matches. Depending on how the fixtures work out we might not need Pope again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,908 ✭✭✭claw


    Ended up not putting any Chelsea in. Leaving it till Thursday.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    Not sure what happened to Maddison today. Something about a back injury but I switched captain to TAA so it worked out OK.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,173 ✭✭✭Dearg81


    How badly did that hurt you today? Hopefully none of them captained James.
