eh? Im a Liverpool fan, i hope we win the Carling Cup this year. Was glad we played the big guns and hope we keep it up. Might as well - no European games. Suarez etc can deal with playing a few Carling Cup midweek games, they have 15 less games this year due to not being in Europe.

>>14622021

I have a feeling they'll be in the PL next season, possibly via the play-offs.

Holy crap, that goal!

We're getting battered. A goal is coming at this rate.

Reports suggesting Oriol Romeu is starting today.

Dont say that, Moses is in my FF team

>>14622177

He and Wolves are doing SHIT, and he's also in my team

>>14622291

Are you serious right 'na?

>Jarvis off
>no assists, no goals

why is N'Zog not getting me any points? It's almost as if he doesn't understand that everyone has him on their FF team

> "One Size" Fitz Hall is up and running again after a bit of treatement, meanwhile.

oh bbc you so crazy

>>14622449
>one size Fitz Hall

why have I never thought of that

The problem with FF at the moment is that there's no stand out midfielders between the 6.0-9.0 mark.

You've got Eagles and Petrov at around 5.5(and Bolton have tough fixtures). Then N'Zog on 7.5 but then your looking at Silva,YOung and Nani at 9.5 to 10.0.

NZog's getting his P45 next week from my team.

>>14622449
>QPR
>one man team

>>14622474

cleverly bro, only 5.5...consistently gets points when he plays

Whoever has the team 'Deli Meat Tree', prepare your anus this week in Trollanliga.

I fully expected N'zogbia to rip shit up at Villa. He can gtfo my ff team, after this showing.

>>14622474

eh? The key to FF is to have three class forwards, Rooney/Aguero/Suarez are mine, then 3 class defenders + GK, Hart/Enrique/Bosingwa/Vidic are mine, and fill the midfield with bargains, because they are undervalued. Strikers and to a lesser extent defence is where the points are.

I'm looking for a graphic i all ready saw on /sp/ wich tells you wich EPL to support. Anyone ?

O'HARA BLOOTER INCOMING
3 POINTS IN THE BAG
TOP OF THE LEAGUE

>>14622492

also yaya toure, he hasn't gotten much yet, but if you've watched city at all, you'll have seen he's way past overdue for major points...he was hot all last season too.

OH FUCK ME THE MEDIOCRITY

>>14622555
Goodison's on the nicer side of Stanley Park.

It's still a hole in comparison to anfield.

>>14622563

I was tempted but since our defence was so shit last season I gave him a miss.

>>14622530

There are good midfielders but they are class midfielders like Silva and Young. I prefer to stack my midfielders with good people rather than in defense since its hard to predict clean sheets. Just get the cheapest guaranteed starting defenders from good defensive sides.

Di Santo again
wtf

>Di Santo

0-0

3 games unbeaten.

Satisfied.

>wolves


damn it

Everton lose to a team even Wigan can beat
let's get this shit started
>Neverton

well N'Zogbia and Jarvis fucked me over, but at least Given got a clean sheet

Fuck QPR really do need all these signings, they're fucking awful.

>>14622585
He has surprised me i bought him as my last player when i saw that he had been transferred and i got him as a budget buy, i think hes been my best defender

Wolves are easily the best team in the world.

>>14622697
>lose to genk
ftfy

>>14622492
Gone for Evans,Rooney and Nani - so canni have another Man U player.

>>14622530
I think that depends on the Season to be honest mate. Back when Gerrard,Lampard and Ronaldo were rampant midfielders were scoring far mroe points than strikers and defenders - mainly because they were scoring as many goals as strikers, aswell as assists and bonus points for running the game.

This year you could be right. I've got Rooney,Aguero and Klasnic at the moment. Can't quite afford Suarez.

>>14622727
i can't see genk reached a final.
shaktar on the other hand, with a lot of luck could.

>milan-inter-bayern

>Demba Ba

>>14622743

>picking Johnny Evans in FF

dude what the fuck. Do you know how this shit works.

starting 11 better be
Reina
Kelly Carra Agger Enrique
-----------Lucas
---Henderson Adam
Suarez-------------Downing
-----------Carroll

I believe that team can put three points on the board

Preparing for a Ross Barkley blooter.

>>14622836
>Henderson
>no Kuyt

>>14622836

yep, thats exactly what i would pick too. Be interesting to see if Maxi gets a starting spot, he was pretty good in midweek imho.

>>14622850

on current form, Kuyt doesnt deserve to be in the team. His touch and decisions are really poor right now. Hendo has done OK.

i can't wait for another chelsea game & puns thread, last one was hilario-us

>>14622867

>>14622867

i would contribute but i havent a Kalou about puns

>>14622863
Hendo has been prone to throwing the ball away in the final third. Wouldn't start him over kuyt, especially since Meireles is out for this match

40 Hilario
17 Jose Bosingwa
2 Branislav Ivanovic
26 John Terry (c)
3 Ashley Cole
7 Ramires
12 John Mikel Obi
15 Florent Malouda
8 Frank Lampard
9 Fernando Torres
11 Didier Drogba
Subs: 22 Ross Turnbull 33 Alex,19 Paulo Ferreira, 20 Josh McEachran, 10 Juan Mata, 39 Nicolas Anelka, 18 Romelu Lukaku

>>14622826
He's starting at CB with Vidic and Rio out. Smalling is playing at RB.What's wrong with that? I'll just switch him once he steps back.

He's a bargain for 4.5m and got me a clean sheet last week.

>>14622850

Henderson played really good the first two PL games. I admit he sucked v Exeter though.

>>14622874

here we fuckin go again

>>14622877

>doesnt want Hendo because he loses the ball too much
>suggests Kuyt would be better at this

aw hell no

Maxi should play before Kuyt right now. Even Shelvey. Kuyt should remain on the bench and be an impact sub until he finds his touch again.

>>14622878

>dat possibility of switching to a 4-3-3 with an attacking trio of Drogba and Lukaku with poor little white boy Torres in the middle

>>14622878
>Sturridge not even on the bench

Chelsea why do you hate young players so much?

>>14622988
he's suspended

>>14622988
Sturridge is suspended until the 10th September, he'll probably start when he's back, based on preseason form

>>14622988
Sturridge is suspended.

There are two 18 year olds on the bench anyway.

Is this Emerton's last match before leaving for Australia? He's been tremendous for Rovers over the years.

>>14622984

>mfw this is horrible and you know nothing about football if you think that would work

Blackburn v Everton: 0 goals

Chelski will rout Norwich, the Canaries will put up a valiant effort but they're poles apart in terms of quality.

Swansea v Sunderland has the potential to be a goal bonanza, hard to predict but im backing Sunderland to maybe just edge it.

'Pool at home should be too much for Bolton, can't see us scoring more than 2, probably a 2-1, might get lucky and keep a clean sheet.

Looking to be a fun day in the EPL! hopefully we can see Chelsea's new boys make an appearance too, be interesting if AVB doesn't throw them on at some point, there's no easier introduction to EPL life than throwing on your new strike force against a tired promoted teams defence.

I had no idea you could be so Cole-d

>>14623078

The latter, AVB has Chelsea playing wider.

Chris Herd MOTM

>>14623083
Ivanovic is fit. Alex wasn't brilliant last week

>torres and drogba

ancelotti already tried this, numerous times, and it didn't work. Neither are at their best when not played as the dominant striker.

then again, I want to think AVB knows what he's doing so I predict a hat trick from each today

blackburn match will neverton come soon enough.

i want to laugh at everton's baine

>>14623132

MY BODY IS READY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>>14623132

We're all doomed.

>>14623151

He is brilliant, that sort of mistake happens once every season...not to mention half of it was Ramires' fault for the awful pass

Why all the hate? They're playing Norwich. Chelsea could have 10 people in central defence and win 3-0.

>>14623165
Ivanovic and Terry are better. Also AVB seems to like attacking full backs

>>14623128

Yes, can i remind people that AVB has been heralded as a tactical genius, so far he has played exactly the same that a proven tactical genius (Carlo) played.

The only conclusion i can come to is that the Chelsea manager, be it Ancellotti or AVB, isnt picking the team. He is now just a coach.

>>14623152

look, a new Chelsea trip

>>14623181

Nope, Alex is better than Iva mainly in positioning and awareness, this is well known

>>14623132

dooodododododo

i'm on FIIIIIREEEEEEEE

>>14623188
>implying anyone is better than Bran Flakes.

>>14623186
or maybe they pick the best team available, norwich is the same for both of them?

>>14623186

He's trying to experiment with different players and formations and Norwich isn't that good. Why are you people making such a big deal out of this ?

Aston Villa 2-2 Wolves
Wigan 0-2 QPR
Blackburn 0-1 Everton
Chelsea 3-1 Norwich
Swansea 0-2 Sunderland
Liverpool 3-1 Bolton
