Petswyn Prysies are back following their triumphant CL-qualifying campaign last year. Also I've got a second team (Hot Spurts by Carlos Kickaball) made up entirely of ex- and (through necessity) current Spurs players. Loads of options up front and in midfield but a bit light on goalkeepers and defenders. So much so that my fifth defender had to be Janathan Parr from Crystal Palace. Purely cos his name looks a bit like Carr. I'll do everything I can to avoid him getting any games.
For the sun one I picked the following team: Cech Cole Cahill Caulker Coleman Cabaye Cazorla Coutinho Crouch Cisse Carroll Not bad I thought
My team .....................de Gea..................... Zabaleta....Evra....Cole....Mertesacker Paulinho..Zaha..Coutinho..Yaya Toure ...........Soldado.........Lukaku........... No doubt I will change it a few more times before the deadline lol
All pre season I had Luna in all my fantasy football teams as I was following the villa forum to see who could be their star this season, so I added him........then removed him as thought first three games they would get thumped at least once! then he goes and scores! FFS at least I had Benteke and Coleman!
I've had the luck go with me, Boss Took out captain Bale yesterday and made Benteke captain. Thought I might've missed out when Lambert scored and Bony didn't start as I'd swapped the former for the latter yesterday too but he still got one. Just a shame Caulker and Jagielka got me naff all
Bit of an unspectacular start from me too. 1 goal from Lambert, 0 assists or bonus points. Now have to rely on Chelsea to get a couple of results this week. I always feel dirty wanting them to win but I suppose it's win-win if you pack your team with Chavs and Goons. They win they get you points, they lose and it's good for Spurs.
I'm right behind you in 3rd and sadly I'll be hoping for chelsea to get off to a flyer as I have Hazard, Lukaku and Ivanovic hopefully all playing twice this week but knowing the chavs they will rotate and screw up my plan of getting double points!
and for all those that took out shaw as he was injured, the little twerp goes and starts, grabs a assist and has 12 points!
Ffs! Could really do with Hudd not playing now, unlikely methinks. I have lukaku too, and he's my capitan! Seems like a bad management choice considering how my other players did
So no Lukaku, jose is the next manager to try and revive Torres, while fantasy football managers all around the country are cursing the fact Lukaku sits on the bench!
Mata didn't even come on. I'm assuming that the Spain squad's travelling will have had something to do with that.
He wasn't fully fit and chelsea have a game midweek agaisnt Villa so I expect in that game you will see Mata, Lukaku, luiz start.
Making Soldado captain and Mignolet vice captain, helped big time. Leaving Benteke on the bench for Berbatov, not so much
