Hi guys - I had planned to work on my team and write my usual post this morning but have had some very sad news that my uncle passed away overnight. I am quickly posting this so you can see what I ended up saving, please feel free to post your team in the comments section below and please help others with any barndoor ideas you may have. Sorry I can't add any more - I'll be back online next week.

Thanks, Nik

Nik, sorry to hear about your Uncle, I hope you're holding up alright.

I like your team, although I couldn't go for Drogba, he's not returning his price enough for me. Also thought Brunt was too much of a risk with holding VDV, although I did get him on the BD. I went for MGP & Malouda over Meireles or Drogba.

My condolences AM. I'm sure I speak on behalf of all your extended family on the blog when I say we'll all be thinking of you and your family.

i hope you make it through this tough time.

i have ben foster
kolarov phil jones bardsley
nasri van der vaart nani barton
chamakh elmander welbeck

i sold adam on the last barndoor for brunt, but i really want barton's consistency in my team. i am taking 2 zeros this week and am fine with that. nani's price actually went up, so those that sold him will be paying alot to pick him up. welbeck is my least favorite choice as it is hard to score in 4 straight games. i sold gyan for welbeck. obinna was probably a better pick.
chamakh, nasri will be gone on the barndoor.

My condolences Nik.

I picked
robo
kolorov kosc bale
nasi lennon meireles vdv
cham kalou defoe

shuffled my team 30 mins before deadline. dropped ballotelli as felt more comfortable with defoe.
that meant going down price wise to meireles but i like his match up.
hope lennon is my performer that no one else has.
bale at full imo no different than drogs at full.
going to keep vdv this week but if this injury stretches out too long he goes.
hopefully kalou covers a good chelsea performance.

So sorry Nik. Our thoughts and support are with you and your family.

Our teams are very similar except I have MGP and Dorrans for your VDV and Brunt. I could not afford the Drog (but think he is going to put a big one in soon)so went with Malouda.

Good luck all in the Blog Cup (leave the adding up Nik til the end of the week, eh?)

Best wishes

Gambled heavily on Citeh

Robinson

Nani VdV Nasri Arshavin Brunt
Balotelli Tevez

Bradley said...

Robinson
Kolarov Bardsley Kyrgiakos
VDV Meireles Nasri Pedersen
Chamakh Kalou Tévez

I dropped Brunt for MGP, which was probably a huge mistake. The last time Brunt was supposed to be out injured (i.e., last week), he scored 20.5. Hopefully VdV won't be out long. His discount is the only one I have left. Getting a proper team together is only going to get tougher.

At last - a great goalie pick for me, Nik and it seems many more.
120 points with Dorrans and Merieles to come.
Next week has some great games and some huge challenges.
Everton and stoke have good match ups but the rest seem too close to call??

Komeng Kg Dusun FC said...

My sincere condolences, Nik.

Follow yr advise on Robbo and it paid off. A cool 24 pts from a GK of that price. TQVM

Be strong mate.

my condolences AM.. just got online.. saved my team earlier and can't get online to make read updates and make changes.. didn't get the chance to drop nani, rooney, adam and vdv.. four of them, only vdv that i may not drop.. my week sucks, 64 points with brunt to go.. dropping to 400+ overall..

Condolences Nik.

86 points with Meireles, Kyrgiakos, Barton and torres to go.

Robbo
Bale K-rov Kyrgiakos
Barton Meireles MGP Rosicky
K.Jones Torres Balotelli

rwlwhite said...

WHY DIDN'T I PICK ROBINSON?!?!

At least Foster got me 8 without a clean sheet! He stays for next week!

83.5 points with a possible Brunt to go. Guess I shoulda gone with my gut and not picked anyone from the leakiest of arsenal defences ever!

Foster (8)
A.Hole-arov(6), Koscielny(2.5), Squillaci(5.5)
VDV(0-keeping him no matter what!), Nasri(21.5), Brunt(?), Essien(3.5)
Balotelli(14), Tevez(17.5), Chamakh(disappointing 5)

But at least ARSENAL are top of the table! Whoop!

Anonymous said...

Robinson at home to a wolves side that like to put feeble SOT was a no brainer. I believe also that the keeper for next week is Forster, though i'm sticking with Robinson.

Anonymous said...

Also Tevez and Kolarov are suspended for next game, it could be Balotelli and Jo starting for Man City against West ham.

Simon Hanson said...

Very sorry to hear your news.

Well done for picking Nasri.

Take care and thanks for your input each week.

88.5 points with Barton, Meireles and Bent to come.

Will be good to break 100 points for the first time is about 6 weeks

BLJnose said...

First, condolences dude.

Now, disappointed with Chamwow's scoring this week. only 5pts. I kept VdV and Adam and still got 95+ points with Carroll to play tomorrow. Kolarov another disappointment. Got a silly yellow and will miss next match. Might have too hold on to him because I have a huge discount with him as well.

BLJnose said...

Oh yeah, went with P. Jones of blackburn in defense this week and got repaid quite well. Thinking of replacing Chamwow with K Davis of Bolton for next week because I don't see Chamwow being "wow" against man u.

bean said...

Davies 5 yellows, will miss next match

92 points with barton, brunt and meireles left to play.

109 points thanks to Robinson, Bale, Nasri, Pedersen and Balotelli, despite zeros from Boateng, Nani and VDV. Now Kolarov is out as well next week :/, and what is Boateng's reason for being out? He seems to just go MIA for the past few weeks.

Anonymous said...

How many match will Kolarov miss? I'm thinking of keeping him, he has been scoring 10+ for the past few weeks and even a 6 when he got a red!

Anonymous said...

i presume its just 1 game for kolarov, it wasn't a straight red.

My condolences to you and your family. =(

I'm holding on very tight to Kolarov, returned his value even with 2 yellow cards.

Cap said...

Last week the WornOuts waltzed in 7 GOALS-- 5 to Berb ,1 to Nani and 1 to Nasri for a total of 105.5 points. This week Nasri hit 2 beauts and Drog belted in a penalty ...and thank you very much Robbo-- this week you made up for Howard's cockups last week....total = 3 GOALS for 109.5 points !!! 3 goals beats 7 by 4 points. It's not right really...goals don't count enough. Another useless piece of info.... I am 115th out of 28,002 Liverpool fans,if anybody gives a care. Couldn't have done it without your help lad.
The bloody weather in England made me sell all my heavily discounted UTD players and pay full price for the heart of my team so my future line-ups are at current prices. Take heart from this me buccos in EPL Madness.
Sorry for your family loss.

Anonymous said...

@Cap maybe you shouldn't have sold all your discounted players, 4 zeros and still managed 104 pts. It takes
about 6 players doing well to score big.

So much options for week17, weather permitting.

Nasri or Cahill? I like to set my team early to avoid confusing meself.

Anonymous said...

I don't know how useful it is but i also check SoccerPunter.com for past results, it's why i didn't pick Chelsea players against Everton(low scoring game).

Where the hell is Barton?? I thought he's back from suspension.

Like I said, Odemwengie likes the weather and I know he will score..

I got him, Drogba, Nasri to score a goal and P. Robinson as a clean sheeet..

Only left is K.Richardson and meireles..

109 with two deliberate 0s for Adam and Nani. Quite chuffed but it would've been better if they'd both scored some points.

114.5 with Meireles playing tomorrow. Not bad at all, and I'm now only 0.5 points far from 1st place in the league my colleagues and I play.
