Evening all, heres one for those of you still about:- Q: How many straight lines are needed to mark-out a regulation football pitch ? :thumbup:
11 ?
Nope HL.
17
Alright NIN, sorry I missed you the other day only saw your comment a few hours later. You well?
Hi Alex, no worries mate. Yeah i’m good, thanks for asking. How’re you buddy? Been to any games yet?
NIN, yes mate Wednesday v Wolves and Fulham. Both loses. Its good to be back! Although I did get a pic with an ex Real Madrid, Anderlecht and Everton star who is on loan at Wednesday, any ideas anyone?! Team is a bit of a problem, few red arrows recently (see below for latest idea, what do you think?)
Haha, you’ve brought some luck for the Owls at least! Shame it was the wrong side of it though
I have no idea which player you’re talking about. Couldn’t even hazard a guess. I’ll have a look at your team in a few minutes mate, just stepping out for a smoke :thumbup:
Alex, gottabe good old Royston.
Elle, got it in one mate! It made up for losing 4-0!!!!
Nope NiN.
1?
Nope NiN.
17?
Nope Mitro.
20?
Nope again Mitro.
I’m offski peeps, i’ll check in the morning to see if anyone has got this question right, try drawing it.
Team for GW18. Good to go?
A decent team, but attack points are very centralized to my liking.
Good luck, the starting 11 is solid though.
Hey B – centralised??
6/7 attackers from 3 teams. Centralized. Concentrated.
B – Valid point, fingers crossed it all works out
Looks that way, Mitro. Strong 11 for this GW, should score well :thumbup:
NIN – who you leaning towards on your cappo??
Mitro – I’m still very undecided mate. After talking to Cookie earlier i’ve got it on van Persie just now with Alexis as (vc). Hazard and Costa are really tempting too. I’ve been looking at Chelsea/WHU’s H2H and Chelsea tend to have their way with them in recent years. Really tough choice this GW.
If I had RVP I would probably go with him, think hazard sanchez and even giroud could do well this GW. It will be another week where everyone will have someone different!
Mitro – Big time. I went with Robin last GW and sunk about 2k places because of it. Need to get it right this GW to stay on course, and typically it’s a seriously tough decision. This is why we play, i suppose 😉
Mitro, good team mate!
Cheers mate – just hope it works out, starting to panic that I may have too much reliance on chelsea Man City and arsenal!!
Who’s your cappo for this week?
Ok peps, can I get a yay or nay on my thinking for transfers. I have 2fts and 0.2 itb and thinking of baines Jedinak and Costa to fab Demi and Benteke for a 4ph. It would leave me zero itb so would need to do before price changes. I’m not too worried about kompany coming back as jan WC can fix Demi. Any other suggestions? Thanks guys and girls.
Demi a no go with Kompany returning in a GW or two.
Cheers B, not too worried even if he gets till Jan i’ll be happy. Know when he’s back?
Expected next week, thats the latest we have heard.
NZ – You happy enough to sell Costa then? He was a whisker away from a brace against Stoke on MNF. The proposed transfers are sound once Tekkers bags a few and you’re happy enough to lose Diego. I think i’d prefer to keep Jedinak as your 5th mid until he bogs off in January and maybe sell Sigurdsson instead, which would raise funds for a Mangala or Zabaleta in place of Demichelis. Swansea have a bunch of away games ahead anyway, which Gylfi tends to whiff in.
Not a bad idea NIN but could be worth having Siggy this week and then I can change to Downing once his difficult games are over. Although I guess I can do the same with your suggestion as well. So are you thinking Costa is worth holding over Tekkers? I watched him against Man U and he looked excellent! This way I still have Chelsea attacking cover too. Any other ideas? Thanks BTW mate
NZ – It’s tough to say, given the difference in fixtures for Chelsea and Villa. Personally, i’m not ready to give up on Diego just yet. He’s such a good player and i’m starting to see a turn in him. This GW i’ve sold Baines and Sigurdsson for Cissokho and Silva, for a hit, so i see no problem in binning those two.
Nin, thanks mate you make some very good points much like BB. Like I said to him, I think the red arrows are getting to me so maybe getting a bit itchy with the finger. Why did you go for cissokho? I was looking at vlaar or Hutton?
NZ – I chose Cissokho purely on game time mate. Vlaar has his injury problems, as does Hutton whereas Cissokho has started every game so far and only has one YC. I think it’s worth the extra few quid for him because of this.
Good call nin. Thanks for all your help pal. Still no clearer what I’ll do lol
Evening Alex! Hope your well mate?
You bored with Baines? I am too, but he’s gonna start as are Jedinak and Costa. Siggy and Haz also expected to start. With 2fts mate, I’m not sure i can see a justified hit
Hello B mate, Im well thanks, how are you? You make a fair point and Cookie said the same. Im just not happy with my team and these transfers seem to make it more balanced. Im trying to stop the reds! Any other suggestions for little ol’ me!?
Alex, I look at your team and you have a back 4 all at home, and apart from Forster all have a good chance of a cs. Your mid is strong, depending on your thoughts on Siggy, but he does have a good fixture this gw, so not the best week to sell. Your front 3 are same as mine and obviously they rock!
Is it time to deal with Moore bearing in mind he doesnt play? Keep your other ft for Sunday?
Cheers BB, I think you may be right. I’ll sleep on it. I’m just getting itchy finger syndrome with the red arrows and thinking time to change it up, know what I mean? Are you set for the week?
I know what you mean about itchy fingers. Ive had to put protective gloves on recently, but still it gets through! There are loads of knee jerk transfers you could make. Silva in as false 9 is the one I wanted to say, but you have a yyt and team is good! You are having a belting season mate! Be patient and expect the occasional red arrow!
And no, I’m not set! I did have a good week though with 83 (-8) Had my first green for 4 weeks!
NZ – you’ll sleep on it ?!
You just woke up, mate :hippo: !!
Well done BB, great result lad!! I did think on doubling up on city by bringing silva in as well (as per NINs idea above!) a good plan or over kill? So what are you thinking for a transfer this week?
HL, I’m sunning it up in the UK mate! Been here for a few weeks watching wednesday show me how not too win!!
Hahaha…well, guees I missed that part…haha…
If I was you, I’d :
-leave Baines ;
-Sell Sanchez for Silva ;
-Sell Sakho for Benteke/Giroud (not sure if you can afford the tall Frenchman)…
Cheers hl. So your not a sanchez fan? Even with qpr at home?
Same as Rooney, he is starting to play more & more deeper now…
QPR may be his last chance for some big pts, before the next 2 fixtures away…
Don’t see him getting big pts in those away games, tbh…
Especially not with Walcott back for Boxing Day…
p.s. just a gut feeling…
Any word on Siggy and Haz?
Nothing sure. But Siggy should be fine as he was not played last GW as a precaution only, giving him enough time to recover.
Hazard himself has stated that he will be fine, but Mou could rest him due to a busy schedule.
ok thanks B!
EVERYONE STOP MAKING TRANSFERS TODAY! Looks like we will be able to hold out for the pressers if things stay as they are..
Which 2 would you guys play ?
A – Bojan (A) v Everton
B – Downing (A) v Chelsea
C – Austin (A) v Arsenal
Downing and Austin
Yep.
Bojan and Austin
