The Boot Room – Rate My Team GW 38 – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League
Game-week 37 is still in progress, if ‘progress’ is a word that can be applied to it! At this point it’s less than a ‘damp squib’. Big names have either failed to produce, got themselves injured or in some cases failed to even appear. There are four games left to rectify the situation but either way we should still start looking ahead to GW38. Who is on your radar for the final week? Who do you feel has the best chance to shine this week? Man City and Liverpool look like they may be the only two teams who will go into GW38 with something to play for. Is it time to treble up on both of these then or do you fancy having a punt elsewhere?
Please feel free as ever, to post your thoughts, questions and feelings about whatever you want to but in particular if you would like others to take a look at your team ahead of GW38 and offer their opinions please post or link it below and we are sure you will get plenty of feedback. Some of which may actually be constructive, but we can’t promise anything!

Morning all, so that was a fun weekend eh?! Not. Who fancies Liverpool’s chances tonight then?
inittowinit
Morning Cookie, yes I fancy they will have to go for it. A couple of early goals could make the game and the title race interesting yet!
Cookie
I don’t think the title race is over yet, by any stretch. City have looked far nervier than the scousers in my view. Take out Aguero too, he’s gone for the season. Clearly Yaya & Silva are only 75% fit – still think a big statement from Liverpool tonight will inject a few more nerves.
inittowinit
A 5-0 statement would be nice and certainly set the cat amongst the pigeons.
You could be right on Aguero but I certainly hope not!
Cookie
With his record this season and him going off so early in what was their hardest game left, fancy he’ll wrap himself up in cotton wool until the WC.
jamesimmo
All my rivals captained him, whereas I went with Yaya, with any luck it’ll be The Tank show and Sergio’ll be back for West Ham!
migs
Agree with you here Cookie if Aguero wants to be properly fit for the World Cup then I think he is done for this season. Not bad for Dzeko owners then but what has happened to Negredo and Jovetic? I’ll give you my answer about the title race after 39mins tonight, lets just see if Pool can win first 😉
Bench@BanterburyLeagues
afternoon gents, cookie we will win 9-0

Bench. You’ve just gazumped my lame attempts to embed a YouTube video! Is it just as simple as pasting the URL??? 😛
Cookie

Do I get a ban for posting that?
jamesimmo
I hope so.
Raziel
You should be banned for posting boybands, but I don’t think they will. 😉
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
That’s my favourite song….#FFS :ban:
Bryan Munich
They’ll never understand us Mito.
Btw, remember I told you about that Japanese town named after you? They also have a J2 League team. Hilariously named, “Mito Hollycock”.

Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Well it wouldn’t be the first time my equipment was called holy. 😉 #MitosHolyCock

@ Bryan Munich
I know boybands are popular in Japan, and girlbands for that matter. Haha, Japanese can have terrible taste. JPOP.
Love anime though. Anyway, Japs are freaking crazy. 😛
Raziel
There is very good Jpop out there though. Also like the shit Yoko Kanno has been doing, Boa is cool and ummmm the chick from Fiction Yu… something?
Bryan Munich
Damn typo! 😉
All you Mito fans out there. Get following. For translations please send an email in Japanese to the Hollyhock staff.

Raz, I prefer J-Rock like Radwimps, Bump of Chicken, One OK Rock… (Yes shocking names, but what can I do.)
J-Pop gives me a sinus! Although I do bust out a bit of AKB48 at karaoke. Ahem.
Raziel
How about the Berserk intro Bryan? I think it’s English or an attempt. HAHA. It’s awesome. Everybody hates that song, I love it because it’s so bad.

Bench@BanterburyLeagues
Yes mate but do it on a separate line
Bryan Munich
Thanks Bench. I’d hi-five you but I don’t know the HTML.
Cookie
Still shaking my head, Bry – can’t believe what I’ve just witnessed!
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
That would be amazeballs!!!!!! 😉
Drexl
Interesting to see RVP come on Saturday…strater on Tuesday?
Cookie
Drex, quite possibly, though I wouldn’t be surprised to see him start on the bench again
Cookie
I’m hearing chat that Rooney is fit for tomorrow night vs Hull.
inittowinit
Let’s hope he is properly fit though and he isn’t risking it. Put your feet up Wayne, England need you at the WC more than Utd do against Hull in a dead rubber.
Cookie
Nooooo Rooney hat-trick required!!
inittowinit
Agreed. Against Italy 😉
Cookie
Init, you don’t seem to understand the importance of this if I am to beat your ranking of last season !!!
inittowinit
Oh I do believe me! Wayne, see you in Manaus
Cookie
Don’t make me rest my hopes on Jack “2-pt” Colback!
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
Don’t forget its Jack “4-pt” Colback in a DGW Cookie!! 😉 Morning guys!
Cookie
Morning Peaky, thanks for brightening my day haha
inittowinit
Morning Peaky!
Cookie I sincerely hope you do beat that target and for that and that reason only Go Wayne!
Cookie
I think it’ll be v close mate, maybe defendant on Yaya having a productive Wednesday while Kun sits in the stands – oh and Wazza of course!’
migs
In my H2H with Kop he sold Rooney for Wickham and is in decent shape so I too would love a Rooney hattie. I need it!!! England can wait
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
Jose Mourinho said @chelseafc “risked everything” in Sunday’s draw with Norwich
That bloke cracks me up!!

Peaky I saw that and had a chuckle as well! To be fair I didn’t see the game but he had Hazard on the bench so not sure how he risked everything? Chelsea fans are you happy with Jose and his tactics?
would love to hear your guys side to this
inittowinit
I think he played 2 up top for a few minutes so for him that’s about as risky as it gets
Cookie
Some would argue it worked fine the week before :hippo:

Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Ok Bry, since you are in here and this is the Boot Room how do you think this side looks for the double.
Hall
Sarkodie-Horst-Moor-Remick(if he plays) if not Armando
Davis-Demps-Salinas
Wondo-Higuain-Martins
Captain still undecided.
migs
Is only Bry allowed to comment?
Bryan Munich
Sorry Mito. My visits here are often, but fleeting. I went off on a Football Manager binge.
I think that’s an almost perfect team, mate. I like Moor and Davis being in there. I can’t afford Davis, and having a cheapy non playing Houston player stopped me maxing out on Dynamo. If I had him though, I’d captain him or Higuain. Just because they’re very unlikely to leave you with a double 2 pointer. Remick’s your main worry, as he was subbed through injury in the 51st minute against the Union. I have no idea how serious it is, but I’d be nervous relying on him for 180 mins.
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
Thankd Bry, Remick is a worry, but don’t feel like taking a hit with Armando having a decent fixture. If Remick doesn’t start the first game I will just plug in Armando and roll with 10 double players. Moor adn Davis were brought in before this past GW and it is a good thing, otherwise it would have been a disastrous GW.
Cookie
Come on then. Let’s be realistic – what will the score be tonight? I’m going 3-1 Liverpool.
migs
Ok for once I am going to be brave, 5-0 to Liverpool with us needing around 7 to beat Newcastle on the last day
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
I’d like to think the 5-0 but 3-1 is more realistic,can u imagine if liv beat Newcastle riculous number to nil next week,?? they’d be uproar!!!
Kop Warrior
0-0
migs
Ah cmon Kop where’s the faith!!!
Kop Warrior
I’m just being realistic Migs!!
migs
I think its just reverse psychology, good thinking mate
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
Kop will either be right or happy! 😉
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
4-0 or 0-0 either they run them off the pitch or they can’t score.
inittowinit
1-0 Puncheon
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
If that happens Innit ur barred (ok,i know ur part owner!) for even suggesting it to the football Gods
That is soo wrong for me in so many different ways!!
