So, on 54 with Terry and Costa to play, solid start.
Expecting mid-sixties and hoping for 70+ by Monday night.
Though, that might be underestimating Burnley, we’ll have to see…
Same here james. You copying my team again? 😉
Mata and Eriksen, one goes out for Siggy. Who goes out? Help me choose lads, cheers
I would probably give more chance to Mata. He’s still on free kicks but so is Eriksen. Difficult choice as the point potentials lie in both the players and it’s too early to call it. But for me,Eriksen goes out.
Hola monty remember u from FFCheat haha.
Fair enough points, cheers!
Aren’t you the Malaysian fellow? I do remember you as well if you are that guy.
Haha spot on, seen quite a few of the old FFC people on here. Seems everyone migrated over, glad to be here
Cheers mate !!
eriksen for me, keep hold of mata given fixtures, don’t give up on him too soon!!
Forgot to state I have Rooney, still keep Mata?
Only reason there’s contemplation is because I have United cover.
Rajey- link your team? Would prefer a diff option.

Cheers mate
Rajey – you can link your team to your name on here.
I think you need to resist the temptation of Siggy.
Chambers and Blackett need attention first. Siggy wont score that big every week and you have strong midfield.
That’s the point of getting Siggy mate. Not only do I get to jump on a bandwagon, I get funds to deal with Blackett and Chambers. Was a bit daft not leaving funds to deal them with haha. I can of course switch Blackett to Hutton and Chambers to maybe Van Aanholt but then defence would seem ridiculous fixture-wise.
Rajey – I think the Hutton ship has sailed. Two nice games only. I guess Eriksen so. Gives you some money too. But you likely need to take a hit to field a defence next gw.
I sometimes forget too that this group is somewhat not a representative of the community at large. A lot on here has Siggy. But he is only 9.5% ownership. I have him already too (was on my bloody bench though
)
That said a share in my mini leagues have him also.
I thought Mata looked pretty good yesterday actually, even though he didn’t end up with many points. He got forward a lot and his set-pieces looked great. On any other day he could have had a goal and a couple of assists. Not sure how RVP back in the team will affect that, but I wouldn’t be looking to offload him just yet if I had him.
Eriksen on the other hand really played deep. It might change though. They were playing with 10 men,you have to remember that.
Would you keep Mata if you had Rooney as well? I agree Mata wasn’t woeful and it’s not his performance that’s making me consider replacing him, it’s the double Utd cover. Hard to look past fixtures and set piece duty tho. Cheers for input mate
I would say yes mate. At least for 2-3 games,I would see how the double coverage works. Specially considering the fixtures. They might be rejuvenated after that loss but will it be that easy? Let’s find out the next week. SO IMO Mata stays at least for this week. It’s your call though mate.
Fair enough, definetely leaned me towards Eriksen out, does seem more sensible overall as well, thanks!
Hurling all -Ireland semi on RTE player. Not sure if works outside Ireland.
google “RTE player” and try – well worth it
Don’t!!
It’s an excuse of a sport!
tough as nails those lads
I hate it with a Passion McButcher!
Ah Kop – its class. Why dont you like it?
Can you imagine Raz with a hurley?
Am i going to be the only one cheering for a Newcastle clean sheet here
Come on Krul
DZEKO!!!!
GO JO!
Would be nice to see a cleanie yeah, no Newcastle or City. But I don’t want my rivals gaining points with City players
Random question – who was Captain Hindsight last year?
Dreamers I know who it was / is and he’s a regular and he’s still got a Cpt Hindsight twitter account but I would hate to reveal his real identity!
Haha Dreamers I don’t know for sure but I was always sure it was Potty but I seem to remember Chopper said something to give the game away but I was never sure!
It’s not Potty 😉
my typing must be very slow….
Ya thought Potty myself. Could easily see how it could have been Chopper but I think Chopper had a kid this past year so might be suffering from first kid syndrome too so not sure he had the time or energy.
There is a saying that the first man on the crime scene is the first suspect. Maybe you’re Captain Hindsight Dreamers, and merely asks that question to remove all suspicion from yourself???????
nah Tekno – too much effort there I think for me
While we’re asking random questions!!! On your Gravatar Tekno is the body yours? Or the face??
They’re both mine peaky. My parents are massive fans of this whole “gender just exists as a mental concept” thing so they decided they’d make me half male, half female and let me decide what I wanted to be on my own. I personally enjoy being a little bit of both, even though men I bring home sometimes makes me wear an airbag over my face, for some weird reason.
Er…………ok!! 😉
Oooh, match starting soon. Anyone thinking Jovetic can do damage today?
if pre seasons anything to go by yes!!!
