DODGED A BULLET
All that tinkering and furore ahead of GW1 and we didn’t even select the most obvious player. But we had our reasons and we felt justified, although watching Salah open up with a hat-trick was a tad galling for us and no doubt all of the other non-owners out there. In retrospect we probably got away with it better than most as we scored 59pts vs an average of 50. Captain Aubameyang opened up with a rare goal on his travels and 7pts (doubled) is acceptable and far from a failure. Mitrović on the other hand was a complete shocker as he couldn’t even claim a start and got just 27mins off the bench.
Our secret weapon Tyrick Mitchell was a definite win though as he bagged a clean sheet vs Saints, while Van Dijk at least combined his comical defending with a goal. We won’t mention TAA. Or Havertz. Or Saint Maximim. We were chuffed with the selections of Vardy and Wilson who delivered 21pts between them and look good assets for the foreseeable. Well for this weekend at least.
Ranks mean nothing at this stage, but for the record we go into GW2 with a position of 1,737,686.
Our GW1 result…
Let’s go see what was decided…
Our GW2 transfer(s)
None! We decided that we were so happy with not having Salah the first week that we would do it again. Fool me once shame on thee; fool me twice, delete the team. Funny thing is, Salah didn’t even come up, no one seemed too worried about not having him. It was one of the fastest votes ever. I mean there was one committee member that suggested we wildcard, but that was quickly dismissed by (all) the others rather emphatically.
Sorry, back to the team now, hate you had to see that. The idea with having Bruno from the go was so we could possibly save a transfer this GW and get a little more time to evaluate players before we start bringing them in. So in the end this is us just sticking to our guns and seeing this mini plan through. Well, seeing that we have made no transfers, let’s just get to the captaincy decision.
Captain – Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang
Unanimous again, what is going on? One right after the other voted to give Auba another go at the armband. In part, because he plays West Ham who as a club will probably be too busy fighting each other to worry about marking Auba. If for some reason Auba doesn’t make his match we have the penalty king Bruno Fernandes waiting in the wings as our vice captain.

Morning guys. Who will you cap from this lot ??
I would leave the cap right where it is.
:biggun:
Any temptation to captain Willian from that? My concern on Fernandes is hasnt he only been training for a week?
Tempted to cap him aswell
I would take Salah, vice KdB or possibly the other way ‘round. Would not yet trust the ManU assets. But that’s just me.
+1 Salah on fire
Morning all in Scotland this wknd been sat outside after a skinful of whiskey Last night , took a 8 point hit last night not even checked my team yet. Ha but Vinagre went down I see so just as well no Auba today is a bit of a worry
What were the moves Silvers?
*whisky
Jesus – I’m sending the A team to kick you back over the border!
:punish:
Maybe Silvers was having a drop of Irish whiskey
On our soil it becomes whisky!
I’m not bothered in the slightest btw Leprechaun, I just like keeping the joke going on here.
Christ I must be still drunk I’ve taken Son , Vinagre & Auba out for KDB , Bruno & Saiss but could regret hate losing cash
What a beautiful place GP my brother is married to a Scottish lass he lives out in the middle of nowhere near Kelso
Good to go?
Or Havertz / TAA transfer out?
oops, sorry
My word Silvers those are some moves – I actually love the three players coming in but I would leave your phone at home the next time you go away.
I actually prefer some parts of the Borders to the Highlands in fact I was in Jedburgh a few weeks ago camping
Good to go?
Or Havertz / TAA out?
(apologies for double post and fat fingers, wish I could edit :wacko: )
I still reckon Havertz to James is worth a pop.
Morning all,
Any last min changes? 0ft
Still undecided on captain. Am I mad to go KDB over Auba?
I just feel like Auba rarely delivers more then 1 goal.
Not mad at all, I am thinking exactly the same thing. If I had KdB I’d be going him over Auba but Wolves can be a tough team to break down.
It’s not mad when you consider KDB’s numbers from last season and the likelihood he’s on penalties.
Not sure if it helps but he scored in 19 different games across the PL and FA Cup last season and 7 of those were doubles. Seems to be the hat-trick that is more elusive for him.
Who to start ?
Saiss / Jorginho / Mitchell
Saiss for the chance he gets a crack at that City defence from a corner.
Incidentally, was Jorginho in from the start for you and did you get his points from Monday?
Jorg for me, is he now the designated penalty taker?
Gp
No
On WC
Is it good to go or do I need another hit :scratch_one-s_head:
Good to go! No uit needed
Another hit :big-lol:
Seriously, no it doesn’t.
No more hits!
In case you missed it Saliba started for U23s so don’t think he will be playing.
Treacle, I know Saliba might not start but Dier will come in which will be 50/50 chance as I know, whatever happened in that game Arsenal will concede.
Thanks guys. I had to bring Bruno. If I go with popular captain Auba I would stay at the bottom after a disastrous GW1. Need a differential to move up, or God forbid, to sink further :laugh2:
It’s GW2 mate, not time yet for differential captain picks imo, plenty of time for those after New Year after struggling throughout the fall :whistle:
Zed, that’s true but somehow I think well rested United will do better at home against CP :yes:
