Davies didn’t play for Spurs… first sub on, Chester!
53 points, costa, fab and silva still to play.
Love this s**t!!!
jamesimmo
Only now, thanks to MOTD commentary, have I realised Bojan is pronounce ‘Bo-yan’ and not with a ‘j’ as I have read in my head til now… #DareToBoyan

HAHA!! Quality!

Hey James how you doing??? I posted it earlier on but they said in the arsenal game that Sanchez doesn’t like being called ‘Sanchez’ but he prefers to be called ‘Alexis’ hence the name on his shirt!!!!!
jamesimmo
Hi dave mate, yeah I heard that haha, was watching the game (which was a very stressful affair) and so Alexis it is! I’m glad picking Ramsey paid off…
How are you anyways? Good day of fantasy scoring?
musungu
Sorry, it is BOY-an with OY as in boy – any doubt see BBC on this matter at http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-28794627
Now we will all know!
chins and bellies

Cookie
Some great scores out there, well done to you all. Magpie, 68th in the world, nice darts mate, love it mate!! Keep it going now!
maple
Am I tied with magpie??
inittowinit
It’s late maple, he’s tired and has a child who won’t sleep! I’m pretty sure Cookie meant ‘maple’ but I think he’s had a long weekend which may or may not be related to the chains and hand cuffs he took home with him on Friday after Team Talk….
maple
Bahahaha.
Well forgiven.
I was just havin a larf.
Great job on all the articles and such as always, you can’t find a better site to bounce ideas off anywhere. Great team here…
Shep
Hi All,
So 49 points but Davies didnt play and Vlaar on the bench. Costa and Dzeko stil to play
So my question is… should I swap Davies for Dier? or who for 5m?
Also what about Chambers? his 4.5m and hosts Everton next week and think Mert will be back the week after…
jamesimmo
Shep, I’m stuck with Chambers too, but only plan on benching him (for Clyne) this week then I’ll assess him the week and take him out if necessary.
Dire would make you a small profit but I’d never even heard of him before today and he might not be nailed on… or is he? As for 5.0m – plenty of options – perhaps someone to cover for Vlaar’s bad run of games.
Shep
james
Same here, but he started and played well… his also 5m. And with the red card surely his nailed on for a bit?
Will bench Chambers next GW but wondering who is best at 4.5m to replace him…
Got Debuchy Chambers Davies Vlaar and Duff in defence
jamesimmo
Davies —–> Dier might be wise then.
Next week, you’ll have Chambers and Duff benched, so you need to replace Davies really and Dier seems like the most appropriate replacement.
As for GW3, given that Spurs play Liverpool and Burnley play United, you’ll want Dier and Duff benched. Therefore, your 4.5m Chambers replacement needs a good GW3 fixture, so let’s see…
Coloccini, Ferdinand or N. Taylor (if starting) would be my recommendations.
Shep
Had Taylor for Chambers originally and took a gamble with Chambers for the 1st few GW, but after seeing Taylor today he wasnt that great…
Think Col will be my choice, just hope he doesnt go up in price…
Might do Dier now actually, since he will rise soon since no one wil have him and now everyone knows him haha
Shep
unless I do Chambers and Davies out for Lovren and Wisdom…
chins and bellies
Nice scoring Shep!
I have Davies too. I don’t know how/if/when he’ll get into the team. Not sure why they bought him really.
Not too familiar with the spuds but does naughton getting sent off improve Davies odds of playing next week.
Maybe hold fire on the transfer for now.
Shep
Chins
Also dont know why they brought him and Vorm to sit on the bench…
But Naughton is a CB and Davies a LB so wont really impact him… Im more concerned about Dier and also why they didnt go with Dawson?
chins and bellies
Hi all,
Looks like Snodgrass injury is ligaments damage. Any thoughts on who is likely to replace him?
Thanks
Shep
his 6m right? Then def Siggy
chins and bellies
Shep, sorry, I meant replace him at hull!
bundeena bunnies
I have Snoddy and Siggy. Who else for 6m can I look at?
Tekno-bojan (The 69er, Winner of Potty's 1st ever Twitter Comp; twice CL Comp winner, current profession: sexy model, formerly: Bulrog, mage, big bad dawg; hallway monitor; tranny; wannabe Nazi commander)
I’ll answer this before I go to bed chins. I think Quinn came on for him.
chins and bellies
Cheers Tekno. Don’t let it keep you up too late! 😉

Chins
Who is replacing him for Scotland?
Just right before the qualifiers.
chins and bellies
Not sure TGP. Forgot about that!
Is there a fantasy qualifiers?!
Bryan Munich [@bry_cooper]
You don’t have time for that mate. Darts fantasy team, remember?
Mr Bean
My team is feeling very empty going into tomorrow’s games…I can only pray that Liverpool and City are both involved in boring, low scoring games tomorrow – gotta be optimistic.
jamesimmo
Ditto Rowan – no coverage from either team – only Tadic playing tomorrow.
Mr Bean
At least you have somebody to root for…i’ll be on the sofa for 4 hours tomorrow praying i see nothing but injuries during the games!
inittowinit
Hi Mr Bean, saw you struggling with the grav earlier? Do you need any help with that?
Mr Bean
That was embarassing! I’ve linked the email to the grav site but it’s still not allowing me to share Bean’s beautiful face with everybody on the site
inittowinit
Hmmm odd, e-mail us if you need to matey and we will sort it out for you – contact@fantasyfootball247.co.uk Sorted a few recently so we will fix it.
Bear in mind the mods don’t work Saturday’s from 5pm to 5.15pm though eh 😉
chins and bellies
You’re not alone mate!
Thanks to Davies no show and a poor subs order, I’m now praying for a Newcastle cleanie against city!
And I have no liverhampton players either.
All about Monday night and triple Chelsea for me.
Mr Bean
Newcastle cleansheet tomorrow wouldn’t upset me at all to be honest.
Monday is the big one for me as well: Terry, Fab and Costa (c) will hopefully keep me in the top 100k for GW1
Ripcurl82
I kept away from City & Liverpool
Hopeing for the same on Monday night
