hopefully silva is fine – if not, then hopefully yaya gets fine for a direct swap!
planning to bring in rooney in place of lukaku so that i enter gw37 with:
rooney, mata, aguero, nasri, silva/yaya (and suarez + eriksen)

Best team for GW 37?
A
Eriksen – Mata – Ramsey – Gerrard
Suarez – Aguero – Rooney
B
Eriksen – Mata – Ramsey – Yaya
Suarez – Aguero – Rooney
C
Eriksen – Mata – Ramsey – Yaya – Gerrard
Suarez – Aguero
B seems best to me.

Thanks lads.
Worth doing Silva -> Ramsey and Lukaku -> Rooney this week for a hit?
EBC
If you don’t do it this week is it likely you’ll take the hit next week?
If yes, definitely worth it.
If no, it’s a punt either way.
jasprit
might be. but if possible wait as long as you can in the week before making the changes. there might be further news on yaya, silva and rooney you’d want to listen to first.
ideal would be if you bring in one this week, and one in the next. depending on the fitness.

EBC & jasprit
As the plan is now, I’ll do Gerrard -> Yaya before GW 37 as well so I’ll take a hit either this week or the next. I will do Silva -> Ramsey this week because Arsenal have Newcastle at home, and the reason I want to bring in Rooney for a hit is that he plays Norwich at home.
jasprit
if you were going to take a hit anyways, then yes better take it this week itself!
wait on silva though, if he is fit or even misses just one game – having him with yaya and aguero would be killer heading into the dgw.
unless you have a city defender already and your 3 player quota is full, in which case best to take out silva asap before his price drops.
NZ Alex (Owls Rule/Pottys prize winner!!!)
Tekno, I agree B. Hopefully yaya is fit

considering the fixtures left, id go B.
id be very tempted with C, as rooney has been terrible in big fixtures of late, but since they’re eaisy i’d go for him…
to be honest though, i think double utd isnt wise so i’d either choose mata or rooney and get gerard in the space left (and play a 5 man mid if you choose mata).
HL
Tekno =- knowing that Pool is playing Chelsea in a direct Title showdown, in a game where a penalty or two is very possible – I would say Gerrard – option A !!
Any other week – it would be option B…
Tekno-kun (Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: big bad dawg; hallway monitor, formerly: tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
HL
I’ll get Yaya next week, so Gerrard will start for me against Chelsea. He’s a lad for the big games so I’d actually be surprised if he didn’t get me any goals/assists.
Mito21 @FantasyFooty247
I tend to agree HL. I actually said that to Cookie in a convo we had earlier. That it would get chippy and Suarez would certainly test the referee in the box with a couple of dives or as Liverpool fans like to think of it, someone trying to murder him with healing touch.
HL
I still have Gerrard in my team and this is not the GW he should be transferred out…
Goofy will have at least 1 try to dive : ) and in a high tension game – it could be enough…
We all know/remember the “epic” games Liverpool played with Chelsea when Jose was still there…
As a Liverpool fan, I couldn’t have asked for a better opponent than Chelsea/with Mourinho – to be THE game which will decide the Title !!
Raziel
Ok, missed the end of the game. Is it true Silva is injured? Is it serious?
My team:
Mannone – Marshall
Vlaar – Coleman – Azpi – Dann – Zab
Mata – Barkley – Silva – Eriksen – Noone
Suarez – Kun – Sturridge
Was hoping Silva be alright for DGW but going off tonight would suggest it is really problematic. Big risk they took, could kill Spain I think Silva is the best Spaniard at the moment.
EBC
Took a knock to his dodgy ankle. Got stretchered off.
Best you can hope for is 1 game imo.
TheDreamers
looked serious enough. It was an innocuous challenge , yet he was stretchered off in obvious pain
Raziel
Thanks peepz. I guess I will do Silva to … and Sturridge to Rooney.
Raziel
If f-ing Silva wouldn’t have played I’d have Vlaar and 7 points. Now I have an injured Silva and no Vlaar point. FU Pellegrin.

i think yaya if fit should be a very good option – i see him as a sort of fall-back when there’s no silva…
so would gerard considering liverpools position and his desire to score in that, and mata if you weren’t going to get rooney…
i personally think AJ is too inconsistant to consider at the moment – if he scores next match, then id consider him.
oh and surely ramsey must be on your radar??
Raziel
Yeah, went with Ramsey and Rooney for Sturridge and ummm Silva.
Raziel
Hmmm I know AJ isn’t a popular choice at the moment but he has 4 decent fixtures left from which 3 homegames. Silva to AJ an option?
Calvin Clyne
I’m looking at bringing AJ in, good move and gives you considerable extra funds.
Raziel
TOO LATE. Aargh, I just don’t know. HAHAHA. 😛
Can still get him for GW37 though. On that note, Yaya is also on my radar. Need to watch out need to buy DGW for the sake of it. He can be quite inconsistent, AJ that is. Yaya is a must if fit. Who to captain in DGW? Rooney or Kun? >.< Ack. Choices. As it stands now it should be Kun. Aaah well. Take care. Have a good night all. Ciao.
Peakydave (winner of 3 of Pottys mental competitions)
i’d thought about AJ myself the only thing that worries me is gametime in the last 20 weeks he has only played +60 mins 11 times!!!That concerns me! (just checked he was injured for 2 games but still!)
jamesimmo
So I finish with 88 this week, if I’d played my weekly transfer and selections right it could’ve been 109, but it’s so hard to call. On to the next week!
Would you play Distin – doubtful vs SOU (H) – or Vlaar vs SWA (A) next week?
jasprit
distin.
even if he doesn’t play, hardly a chance he gets subbed in so then vlaar can come in anyways.
jamesimmo
Cheers jasprit, sounds a plan,
jasprit

yeah, i got 88 too!
shame, for me, as i transfered out mirallas and have a 9 point fonte on my bench…
can’t complain though – it’s not a bad score at all!!!
jamesimmo
I transferred Mirallas out as well! And benched Vlaar with 7 points – with 88 each too – we’ve had a similar week indeed bob haha!

yes, yes we have!!!

oh and i’d play distin too
Calvin Clyne
Nice score mate. I got 81 but had Mirallas (9) and Ward (8) on the bench so would have been pushing 100 but ah well.
Probably go Distin and hope he plays right? Southampton have petered out in attack of late.. Then if not you have Vlaar coming in anyway.
jamesimmo
Thanks mate, ahh unlucky, still 80+ softens the blow though right? Here’s to a good week on the whole :beer: I think I’d pick Distin if fit, so I’ll go for that, cheers.
Raziel
Not a bad score. I think I’m on 74 minus 4. If Silva hadn’t played I’d have Vlaar and 5 more points. Aaah well. Decent gameweek.

OH. MY. GOSH. :oogle:
IM FISRT, FINALY FIRST IN THE LEAGUE I CARE ABOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YYYYEEEESSS!!!!!!
WWOOOOOOOO-HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!
I can’t say how chuffed i am – the point gap was 150 only 6 weeks ago!!!
i think i made some good desicions scoreing 88 points, 91 points, and 82 points in the last 3 weeks with silva being my cappo in the latter of the two and buying rambo, aguero and eriksen…
wait…
wtf.
im in the top 5000 in the world.
WOW.
my aim was top 50000 considering i finished 500000 last sason
and im first in manager of the month here!!!!
WTF.
this is ridiculus!!!
i am very pleased at the moment!!!
Raziel
Great job. If you are pleased you should do a happy dance.
In the league I care about I’m second. I was 200+ points behind the number 1, now just 60. Sort of destroyed all hopes of a good season at the start this time. Stuck too long with out of form (and or not playing) Mirallas, Hazard, Lukaku, Coutinho. Of course later in the season they went got points, usually the week after I sold them. 😛
Raziel
Aaah yes, funny note about that league. It has like 40 Dutchies in it, last season I won it (my first season) and the guy that finished in second behind me is winning this season. We swapped places.

you’ll make up 60 i think…
i had countinho and lukaku at the start of the season too – stuck way too long with oscar and oxilade-chamberlain as well…
oh and sorry if that looked like bragging…
it wasn’t meant to be, i just thought i should share that…
oh and (happy) :dance: 😉
Raziel
Cool. Naah, I won’t make up the 60 but that’s cool. He has a really good team.
Migs – Boruc
Zabs – Fonte – Azpi – Coleman – Turner
Mirallas – Lallana – Mutch – Mata – Barkley
Suarez – Kun – Stur
Also, if I look at it. 8 of our star players are the same. >.<
Though I just shipped out Silva and Stur, so 7 now. 😛

yeah, differencials will help…
erikesn, gerard, ramsey and silva were my differencails and capping one helps too (if you think they’ll do welll enough)!!!
there’s still a chance though – only 20 points a week…
brookyboy
Heh heh well done Bob !! Good work !!
billisBob (not 1st in 6 to 38 Its a Fact) "That bloody catus...."(opera unities;2 fat;Juan Way Ticket on the Oscar Train;murseyside Darby; :Read More... : Billis the fixtures genius;dez kol and shezney, still pondering over what to do with my tea;coc
thanks!
Calvin Clyne
Don’t normally care for bragging but that’s some quality work you’ve done there Bob! I think I may have finally gone top of my important league (though will wait for the official updated league to confirm) and was chuffed with making up about 80 points or so but 150 in 6 weeks is awesome! And top 5,000 speaks for itself
Hope you manage to stay there until the end now!

Well done bobbyboy and nothing wrong with a bit of bragging, providing people don’t take themselves too seriously. But great work young fella.
