Fabianski
Bosingwa Coleman Bale
Van Der Vaart Adam Fabregas Nani
Dembele Chamakh Hernandez
Hmm, not sure on my team this week. I'm aware that I have a couple of players who my not play...Bosingwa could be dropped to accomodate Alex & Ivanovic, Adam may not make it due to his ankle injury, but I decided to hang on to them both at discount in the hope they play. I will add that I'd appreciate if people didn't post things in the comments section such as "Adam confirmed out for 2-3 weeks" because it simply isn't true and confuses everyone. He's 50-50, as stated on he Blackpool official site.
Anyway, having dropped Drogba I had money spare so I brought in a full price Fabianski in goal, kept Bale (I had a dream last night he scored at Old Trafford in a 2-2 draw so had too!) and added Coleman as my third defender seeing as he's playing right midfield for Everton. My midfield pretty much picked itself - I decide having two doubts already meant I couldn't risk Malouda getting a rest too at a cost of £14m, so he had to go.
Upfront I have the two most popular picks in Chamakh & Hernandez and with my remaining £7.2m I had a choice between adding an extra defender in Salcido/Boateng or risk Dembele and I decided having the attacking option was more exciting after some advice from facebook people. We shall see how that one works out!
So that's my team. On the barndoor I'll be looking at Man United players as they face Wolves, Arsenal at home Newcastle & Man City at West Brom. At the moment it appears it WILL NOT be a double-week because if you look at the Week 11 deadline it states...
Week 11 (deadline: Sat 6 Nov 12:00 GMT, for games Nov 6 to Nov 8)
I'll leave it there - please let me know what you settled on for Week 10. Who's coming in on the barndoor?Cheers,
AM

Uhm, it's a double week next week, isn't it?
ReplyDeleteDrogba out for a million weeks after a hysterectomy ;)
ReplyDeleteFoster, Sagna, Bale, Bosingwa, Brunt, Adam, VdV, FloMal, Nasri, Chic, Dembele.
Bit of a risk with Nasri - I've had Walcott in all week and the last time I dropped him on a Saturday he got a hat-trick.
Next week should be a double week shouldn't it? with the Manc Derby and my birthday at the end of it????
Looking at these teams for the double week:
ReplyDeleteEVE: @ BPool, Bolton
TOTT: @ Bolton, Sund
ARSE: NUFC, @ Wolves
Its was really confusing to say the least, i really wanted Arteta but couldn't risk it, i forgot Coleman was below 6 and went with S.Taylor who i felt had a good game midweek
ReplyDeletei doubt if any other team will look like mine. If everyone returns their value i'm ok.
Fabianski
Boateng Bosingwa S.Taylor
VdV Nani Cesc Gerrard Nasri
Balotelli Heskey
Hart
ReplyDeleteBoateng Zhirkov Bosingwa
Adam Van der Vaart Nani Fabregas
Chamakh Dembélé Anelka
Some major changes after last week's disastrous 66.5 points.
Really need to know if next week is a double, surely it must be, but Yahoo fixtures and AM comments suggest not?????
Nice Team AM...cheers
ReplyDelete~P.K~
Knowing Yahoo i'll make my plans as if it is a double week.
ReplyDeleteI have a noob question...
ReplyDeleteif u pick a player when barndoor, u SAVE it or not means keep it at GREENbar?
if we don't save, and the player market value RISE, how to keep it at GREEN market value? can we click REFRESH or we should pay at the rising value means we miss the previous value?
I did drop Drogba, but went for 5 in the mid instead of 3 forwards...
ReplyDeleteMy team for this week:
Mignolet
salcido. bosingwa. zhirkov.
malouda. VDV. silva. nasri. nani
chico. chamakh.
Overall i'm happy with this team, strong mid... hopefully it will pay off, was thinking of wallcot instead of silva, but i think wallcot might hit the bench...
DOUBLE GAME next week??
ReplyDelete-JACK-
Fabianski
ReplyDeleteBale / Bosingwa / Squillaci
Adam / Malouda / Reo-Coker / Van der Vaart / Brunt
Drogba / Hernandez
and "the GM:"
Howard
Coloccini / Bosingwa / Squillaci
Dempsey / Adam / Malouda / Y. Toure
Hernandez / Drogba / Chamakh
When u BD a player, you must SAVE changes.
ReplyDeleteyes it looks like a double game week w another full slate tues and weds
ReplyDeleteI'm really not sure about the double week, Yahoo have never written a deadline in that way before:
ReplyDelete"Week 11 (deadline: Sat 6 Nov 12:00 GMT, for games Nov 6 to Nov 8)"
It specifically states that the games covered by Week 11 are the 6th-8th, so I reckon the double week will be split between Week 11/Week 12.
I have 7 same players as AM. My team look this way:
ReplyDeleteFabianski
Boateng, Bosingwa, Squillaci
VDV, C.Adam, Fabregas, Nani, Nasri
Chamakh, Carroll
At my page it shows that:
ReplyDeleteWeek 11 (deadline: Sat 6 Nov 20:00 SGT, for games Nov 6 to Nov 9)
and if we check back on the fixtures:
Tuesday November 9 - Day 12
9 Nov, 19:45 Stoke City v Birmingham City Britannia Stadium, Stoke-on-Trent
9 Nov, 20:00 Tottenham Hotspur v Sunderland White Hart Lane, London
So based on this it may be double week for:
"Stoke, Spurs, Sunderland, Birmingham"
Stoke vs Sunderland,Birmingham
Spurs vs Sunderland,Bolton
Birmingham vs West Ham,Stoke
all info is correctly taken @ SGT 2056
Correct me if I wrong, Cheers!
-j-
It says (November 6 to November 8)...!!! So no double week according to Yahoo...YET!!!
ReplyDeleteBreaking news everyone.
ReplyDeleteAlex playing, ivanovic on the right.
It means Bosingwa benched.
Luckyly I opt Zhirkov again Bos,
LEts hope the point reflect this my luck as well
-desperate-
AM,
ReplyDeleteBosingwa on the bench, and Malouda on the pitch. It's happening for me (i went Zhirk over Bos), but not happening for you in these early days.
Let's hope Charlie is playing for the both of us :)
I'm wishing i kept Fabianski, after spotting his upcoming fixtures, but you live and learn.
Seen that story from Bob Wilson about Arsenal putting in a big offer for who he considered to be the most consistent keeper in the premier league? And that they were playing for a club who would be considered to challenge Arsenal? Surely Pepe Reina?
bosingwa SUB!!!
ReplyDeletelucky i get rid of him @@
mine also like that -j-.. but i'm thinking of loading on arsenal and spurs just in case Yahoo change the fixtures again..
ReplyDeleteanyway, did the unthinkable this week by dropping both malouda and nani from my team.. but doing so manages me to get fabregas, keep drogba and drop a filler out (coker).. only too bad that i cant get enough fund to drop captain kirk for someone better.. :)
Maxer
@Raconteur
ReplyDeleteIt could also be Hart. But either way it sounds too speculative to me.
SF
AM, can you confirm when double week will start?
ReplyDeleteIs it next week or next 2 week?
and is it involve all of the team or not?
thanks
john
Anyone going for Dempsey next week?
ReplyDelete~P.K~
So much for loading up on Arsenal.
ReplyDeleteI think its just messed up that when its United's day then people will come up to say that we paid the ref..what happen to the :-
ReplyDelete1)the ball that was outside which Bale played
2)penalty for Nani
3)after Nani scored then only the ref put his flag up..I mean seriously..only after he scores then the flag have to go up.. in fact Nani eve ask the ref what was the situation before he kicked it in
now!! how the in the world you have the guts to say that United didn't deserve the win
Week 10 :
ReplyDelete88 points I can live with it...
Here`s my premature team for week 11
Fabianski
Salcido (BD) Vidic (VD) Zhirkov
Nani VDV Fab Brunt
Adebayor Hernandez Benjani
Any BD tips ??
what a god damn disaster. My worst week ever and I have been playing since year 1. 27 pts from Drogs, Chamakh, Hernandez, VDV, Bale, Malouda, Boateng. 0 from Adam and Bosingwa, with only Krul to go and he might put up negative numbers.
ReplyDeleteThis team is going into the scrap heap. Good bye, Drogs and Malouda who I thought were season keepers, did nothing today. I will buy either Nasri or Nani both of whom were all energy today. Maybe Torres if he shows up tomorrow and looks fit.
I still have doubts about Bale. My sense is now that teams have figured him out and take him out before he can start any long runs.
If there is a double week I can';t wait, I need to get back in this thing before its too late.
I must agree...Drogba, Malouda, Bale and Chamakh are history...
ReplyDeleteI will go for Yakubu and Adebayor
Malouda is no playmaker and when he starts dropping to the midfield.... Well i dropped him after wk3 and i've not had cause to regret, dropped Bale after wk3 for Van der Vart too.
ReplyDeletedecent week for me with a team of.
ReplyDeletefabi,
Zhircof, coleman, Squillaci
Van der Vaart, Fabrigas, nasri, walcott
chamakh, dembelle, berbatov
89 points. Only changing Coleman for Koscienly
Ron Manager.
p.s keep up the good work A.M - great site
p.s did VDV come off injured today, if so, whats wrong with him?
ReplyDeleteRon mANAGER
Bloody Hell
ReplyDeleteThe wife scores 122 with more to play.
Going to be a humiliating week.
@Ron
ReplyDeleteHe was holding his leg so could be a slight hamsgring twinge....no further news

Common krull
ReplyDelete63 with just Gerrard and Heskey to go. How i went from Salcido to Steven Taylor i'll never be able to explain.
ReplyDeleteI for one was happy to see the bizarre goal by Nani, it was the only thing that saved an otherwise horrible day!
ReplyDelete70.5 points
46.5 from Nani + Salcido
24 from the rest
Only Brunt to play, since Adam looks to be out.
I'm so glad I added Salcido at the last minute. I really needed more from Arsenal. 1-0? Seriously? Overall jumped up a little over 100 places, but with only Brunt to go, will drop before it's all over.
Why no clean sheet points for Seamus Coleman? He started and played 62 minutes and is classified as a defender, but Yahoo didn't give him the points. Can anyone shed light on this?
ReplyDelete@anon 12:07--
ReplyDeleteNo CS points for Coleman because you need to play 75 minutes to qualify for them.
92.5pts for the week, very satisfied. But worried about those with Torres, Carrol, and/or Brunt. Could drop me quite a bit. But seems like my score is above the average so I can't complain.
ReplyDeleteIn all honesty I will probably go with my same line up next week:
Fabianski
Bale, Bosingwa, Salcido
Nasri, Nani, Malouda, VDV, Silva
Chamakh, Hernandez
I do have Squillaci in for Nasri but I also hold 7mil in the bank to get Nasri back in.
Good luck tomorrow for those with players left
drogba got me just 5 points.. but no complaint due to my team score already 97 with brunt & beye to go.. thanx to salcido, nani, fabianski, zhirkov..
ReplyDelete82 points so far for my team. Thanks to Nani, Fabianski, Squaillaci & Fabregas. Another 2 players to go C.Adam & Carroll.
ReplyDeleteBrought in Berbatov and Yakubu for Nasri and Carroll for Week 11
Interested to hear the AM's take on Nani's "goal". Seems unfortunate but not wrong for Spurs. Yes, Nani grabbed the ball with his hand. Did he dive? Hard to say. But no whistle, no flag, no free kick? Then it's a live ball. Some will say it's a cheap shot...I say it's smart football.
ReplyDeleteDave - Thanks for the info on the Coleman situation.
ReplyDeleteWeek 11 team
ReplyDeleteFabianski
Salcido Zhirkov Bosingwa
Nani VDV Fabregas Walcott Silva
Hernandez Chamakh
Your comments please ...
Nightmare week. I should never say that I like my team ever again. 40.5 and everyone has played (except Bosingwa, who we know won't play--a lot of us got burned on that one). Awful.
ReplyDeleteZhirkov scored great, everyone else awful--and guessing correctly that Balotelli would play is great, unless he scores negative points (as did Hart, who I put out cash to buy...)
Meanwhile I've had a strong week on premierleague.com fantasy, and a *very* strong week in "I Know the Score". So I've got that going for me. But, boy, the top 4 did not perform as expected!
Currently 85.5 with Carroll, Enrique & Adam(?) left to play so not unhappy ;)
ReplyDeleteAs for the double gamer...anyone got any news ? I'm notoriously cr*p at double weeks and have finally just gone top of my work league!
SPutnik
p.s. Quick note to AM, since picking up on your blog 18 months ago have got my stuff together, so a big THANK YOU to you...GREAT BLOG
p.p.s. @ Ian Sanderson...I feel your pain !
Nolan got hattrick, so who got Nolan must be very very happy...
ReplyDelete'ZE'
Had 65 points going into today with Nolan (Hat trick), and Carroll who played well. That's me over the 100 mark:)
ReplyDeleteVery surprised that none of you had Nolan. He was averaging more than Barton prior to today. I can only think you were nervous of it being a Derby, and the possibility of cards flying around.
Well, they did - 12 in all, but mostly for Sunderland players.
Wow, I wish I had Nolan...missed the barn door, too. Not sure what to do right now. It seems we complained to Yahoo a little TOO much. Now they update so quickly, there is almost no barn door anymore. You have to be careful what you ask for?!
ReplyDeleteI've got a great team on paper...but they just didn't produce points. Then again, I'm up 64 places overall (so far) with only 70.5 points, so it seems that it is yet another low scoring week for most.
I have to hope that Brunt can match Nolan tomorrow.
On a positive note, I see the top 2 overall (so far) are AM Bloggers! Congrats!
Drama...
ReplyDeleteAnd next week will be even more difficult...
Grabbed Barton, Holden and Ameobi on BD, probably only keeping Holden.
Thinking of getting Drogba back, he is 21.98 now.
Shoot your thoughts...
this is the most worst week ever..kick nani to get gerrard and sell nolan just to fund drogba...i should stop tinkering with my selection then ;P
ReplyDeletecarroll may just about be dead to me now... apparently he had a great game causing sunderland all kinds of bother and his team wins 5-1 and he gets 4.5 yahoo points...!
ReplyDeletetafster
Thank you Nolan!! What a savior. 99 pnts this week with Bosingwa not playing. hope next week to be alil better.
ReplyDeleteThe team for next week so far is
Foster
Boateng, Salcido, Clichy, Squillaci
Nani, VdV, FabS, Mikel
Chicharito, Benjani
Still feel like some changes gotta be done, but not sure exactly who I drop and who I replace em with. Good luck on the games coming up!
l3th4L
just to note on the double week...
ReplyDeleteas well as saying "deadline ... for games Nov 6 to Nov 8" on the team selection screen...
if you look at the fixtures on the 'more fixtures' button, Sat and Sun are listed "Day 11" and Tues and Wed are listed "Day 12", which in my opinion would all point to it not being a double week...?
don't think we're going to find out in a hurry anyhow, so your guess is as good as mine. just thought I'd throw my two cents in...
good ol' yahoo for making these things clear.
dug
how do i check my weekly ranking?
