Not looking a great week so far…for football or fantasy points
Pippin, how is the weekend going for you so far? Left my highest points score on my bench :/ (being a Pool defender of all people!)
Not well mate, but could be worse. 20 so far, no BPs coming I’d imagine. Kun was captain. Costa, Siggy, Fabregas, Baines, Taylor still to play, but my H2H oppo has all of them except Baines plus Krul and ADM to play… hope for ADM red card?!
Don’t wish for that!? hahaha 😉
I captained him too, think it is the fifth successive week of having a higher scoring vice!
Got Heaton, Taylor, Baines, Siggy, ADM left to play with 25 points and 3BPS coming for Silva (although took a four point hit too) so not great at all!
and it looks like I’ll need Baines to outscore Krul + ADM to win my Banterbury H2H….
Berahino owners lucked out there. I brought in Sakho for a cheap 3rd striker, I think West Ham looked much stronger going forward today. Both decent buys for the money though.
Anyone else considering ADM—> Sanchez?
Shrugs, if sideways transfers is the way to go. 😉
More a hype of the day thing. Haven’t seen the Arsenal game but I know Di Maria is class. Know a few months ago everybody was saying Sanchez wasn’t doing well. Anyway, 2 goals won’t convince me to replace a worldclass player like Di Maria.
I am, United have very tough fixtures now.
If you have Di Maria at the moment you’ll have him for the hardest fixture which is Chelsea. If you sell him now you’ll just shoot yourself in the feet. City in the back? Not impressive (as we’ve seen today). Arsenal defending record? Not impressive.
I seriously don’t get why everybody is thinks fixtures matter to players like Falcao/Di Maria. If anything, they shine in these type of fixtures.
Raz
I 100% agree with you mate.
One lesson I learned very early in my fantasy playing is that you play the player, not the fixture.
ADM is one of the best players in the world so in my mind, can produce against anyone.
Chelsea will probably win tomorrow, though for the EPL it would be much cooler if they didn’t. Even so, I’m curious if United can score this game. Chelsea usually concede goals against weaker opponents but they’re like a freaking brick wall when they face the classic top 4.
Aaah yes, and I think against these brick walls it’s players like Falcao/Di Maria and in the past RvP (who knows against tomorrow) show their skill with some individual play. I maybe crazy but I’m not counting United out, just yet.
Ok peepz, your points? 5 played (including CapCom, I mean CapKun): 24-4-20 points with likely 1 extra bps from Chambers so 21. How did you guys do?
On 18 with 7 to play .
Raz- 20. Details above. Not looking like many big scores this week though… Sanchez owners might do well, especially if any mavericks captained him
27 (with probable BPS) from 5, can’t really complain but hearing Pelle hit the bar twice is frustrating.
All about the right captain choice for you this week. Soton did look shaky towards the ending. My big points all come from defence, lol.
Hi all,
On 25 from 5, including captain Aguero.
5 BPS still to come from Mane, Chambers and Clyne, so 30 overall.
Not many will have Sanchez, so not terrible by any means.
Not a great start, could have been so much better if Pelle and Aguero had converted their chances. I’m on 21 with Baines, Eriksen, Di Maria, Fabregas, and Siggy to play.
23 points from 7 players.
Fabregas, Siggurdson, Baines and Taylor to play. Need Falcao and Howard to outscore Taylor by less than 10, Swansea clean sheet would be huge.
16 with 5 1/2 to play. Didn’t we all have about 50 to 70 points this time last week?! Drab week all round so far.
5 1/2 to play?? Who’s the half??
Costa
Oh yeah! Of course.
Any rumblings in the UK media today re. whether he’ll play or not?
Not really mate. Does Potty count as media? If so then he’s ‘looking more likely to play by the hour’. That was at 7am this morning so chuff knows what Potty and Costa were doing all night!
I just had a bit of sick in my mouth.
Chins evening mate I had a bit of sick in my mouth when u suggested that I might have Obertan in my side! 😉
Sorry Peaky. I didn’t mean to suggest that there was any doubt about your managerial ability. You’re a smart guy… Of Course you have Obertan!! Sorry for suggesting otherwise.
Er…………but………..there’s no answer to that other than why would I (if u exclude last weeks point haul!) 😉
Interesting, people with the worst scores won’t come out and speak about it. So I’m guessing the average before the Swans game will be around 15-20 points. 20 points for me should be enough for damage control. Regret capping Kun but shrugs, it’s always a coin toss. He could’ve scored a few in all honesty.
Funny, how in some weeks just an assist from your cap is shite but this week that would be all you’d want. >.<
22 from 5 with 1 BP
15 off 6 for me! The dream comes to an end!
The dream never ends Peaky!! Who have you still got to play? Obertan?
Swansea CS and a Siggy brace would do nicely after such an awful start
yeah- not sure how many have captained siggy though!! Its one of those ones :/
I believe the Cookie has Siggy as captain… He must be feeling good about now that the Aguero and Sterling bullets have been dodged.
Wonder if (m)any left the armband on Costa…?? Anyone want to own up??
I believe he did, unless he changed it at the last 😉
He didn’t. He’s got Siggy. Could be a great shout at this point.
Chins, top 5 captain picks this week: (overall)
Diego Costa- 21.7%
Agüero- 16.5%
Pellè- 7.4%
Rooney-5.9%
Di María- 5.5%
Top 10k:
Agüero- 61.7%
Pellè-13.3%
Diego Costa- 8.0%
Sigurdsson-3.2%
Sterling-3.2%
That’s some great info Hazardeden10!!
Now i’m not sure if I want Costa to play or not!! And I have him in my team!
5.9% with Shrek? Oh dear.
yeah haha, surely some ghost teams already in there!!
I also have costa and want him to play, that 21.7%, lots of them won’t have changed it from last week, so we can hopefully beat em in the long run!! 😉
