South-Cheshire-Toon

Will do - been without power since 7 this morning - only just come back - and yes - I'm nowhere near the red zone - it's the antiquated cabling - believe it's not been replace since it was installed in 1938 ? So keep dropping on us every now and again. Forgot to add in case someone mentions it - this is the National grid cabling to the area - not just the cabling in the house.

As long as I keep seeing little green arrows next to my name - I'm going to be a happy bunny - I think that's 3 improvements on the trot.

Gameweek 23 Bournemouth 2-1 Forest Brighton 1-0 Everton Liverpool 4-0 Ipswich Southampton 0-4 Newcastle Wolves 1-2 Arsenal Man City 2-2 Chelsea Palace 1-1 Brentford Spurs 3-1 Leicester Villa 2-0 West Ham Fulham 2-2 Man Utd

After last night - didn't see the game - but that's it with palmer - luck for me - foden's 2m less - so now got some money in the bank as well.

Mine would be Palmer - Foden - I can't let Salah go - as he's just too good.

Made a complete fuck up of my wild card - so now looking to bring foden in asap - as he'll only improve and his price will go up. think in a few games time - isak to swap out for haaland - see shity's run in - lot's of easy games from gw28 i think it is.

Palmer for me, Brentford good defensively, so salah vice, and think Bournemouth good def. So isak may be limited.

Sorry in advance for the daft question - but never seen it mentioned in the press - but what's with his hand being bandaged up - was it some issue months ago - sprained wrist ? and he's just keeping it protected ?

Looking at this weeks fixtures - I think there will be a split across Forest (H, Soton) and Chelsea (H, Wolves), with perhaps a risky few going on Man Shity (A, Ipswich) - hmm - decisions - decisions - decisions......

Newcastle 2-1 Bournemouth Brentford 1-2 Liverpool Leicester 0-2 Fulham West Ham 2-1 Palace Arsenal 2-1 Villa Everton 2-1 Spurs Man United 2-2 Brighton Forest 3-0 Southampton Ipswich 2-2 Man City Chelsea 3-0 Wolves

@Beren Highly improbable - but it could all be over by midnight tomorrow - and you'd be back in for the weekend - LOL. Newcastle don't win. Leicester beat Palace Ipswich / Brighton Draw. Manure don't win. Game over - Next round....

@54 Where are you seeing this ? - sometimes I think the FPL webpage is too complicated for its own good.

Doubt it, will be like the man shity team last night, 2nd 11 out with some first teamers on the bench in case of issues as the game will be to a finish - extra time - pens.

Going to be slightly interesting to see how some of the new signing that have been made will affect some teams performance, given that they have a week or so to be bedded in - Gameweek 21 - deadline Tuesday 14th January @ 19.30 Brentford 2-2 Man City Chelsea 3-1 Bournemouth West Ham 1-1 Fulham Forest 1-2 Liverpool Everton 2-2 Villa Leicester 1-3 Palace Newcastle 3-0 Wolves Arsenal 3-1 Spurs Ipswich 2-2 Brighton Man United 3-0 Southampton

It makes me think, as I haven't read the thread - what was the reason Cooper got rid of him - perhaps he (shelvey) was right with what he said - so it's a pity the new NF manager hasn't even looked at bringing him back. I'm mean if you wanted a big, fuck-off hard looking player - you can't go far wrong with him - but perhaps it was his 'stamina' that was causing the issues - from memory he wasn't the quickest out of the blocks.

Just checked - Brighton are on a streak of 8 PL games without a win. D6 L2.

Looks like he's one of those players (at present) that comes on once some of the other main players are out on their feet - here's his FPL stats - (MP - Minutes played) -

You could tell from last nights game that there is a need to improve the squad - looking at how Arsenal pressed - it was a backs to the wall situ for 20 mins - we need to be able to do the same - it's not like the players we have are bad, no, they are good, it's just the likes of Arsenal, City, Chelsea have the £££ ability to buy in lot's of players and get good in depth squads, in effect having a 2nd 11 - which, at present, is something we don't have.

When I saw that - I thought exactly the same thing - could be a Perez in disguise - and look how he turned out - wouldn't say no if offered - perhaps a loan with an option to buy at end of season.

Like I said in a well earlier post - watched it with the sound right down after about 20 mins - southern fucker bias. Note - To me anything below the M4 corridor is Southern before anyone harps on about me being from South Cheshire.

A couple of things - to note from the TV last night - Seemed very bias (as always to the 'southern' team), but this could be considered the home team - so perhaps in the 2nd leg we'll get the same kind of bias (doubt it). Sam Fuckerface always seemed to be 'reporting the virtues of the arsenal players when moving with the ball etc, yet when we had the ball - nothing - fat faced fucker. Also, and this made me laugh, in the second half, about 60 mins - Big Joe gets knocked to the ground - Fuckface then says something like - 'The arsenal fans aren't happy - there have been lots of decisions going against them' - Like fuck - from what i remember that was the first one. Lee Dixon - colour blind as normal - though he did have some un-bias things to say from time to time - esp for Isak's goal - lot's of shirt pulling etc - he said that was part of the game. The sound was awful - I don't know where fuckface was sitting - but to me it sounded like he was in the home end - could from time to time just hear the away fans - probably sound faded out. Onwards....

I don't have Sky for this reason, and also it's a fucking waste of money, so as the game progresses tonight on ITV, then more probable than not I'll turn the sound down/off so as to not hear their constant bitching and whining about this, that and the other. It's a good thing there's 'catch up' as if we were to score then I'll just jump back to the build up and turn the sound back on to savour the moment.

Interesting round of games - as if you don't win you're out - so many have chances of being draws.

So, somehow, the app or something remembers who you have picked ? so that you couldn't keep picking, say, Liverpool every week. Hmm - Would be interesting to see what happens if started at the start of the season and after 20 games there are several people left in - would the system 'restart' ?

It's going to come down to confidence, of the team, their playing ability etc. TBH the 'last' big game was a month ago again Liverpool 3-3, since then we played good teams Villa (had a player sent off - so outcome could have been a lot different), and a load of poor ones - Ipswich, Manure etc. I'd love a win, expecting a narrow defeat 3-2, 2-1, so anything better than that would be a bonus. Depends on line ups as well - and if the Arses think this is a decent enough comp to win - or just put out the kids for experience. Current odds - Arses - 10/11 Draw - 27/10 Toon - 7/2
