Weekly Game (Week 6)

[Ashers]

So the prize pool is £30k for this week with prizes for the top 1,000.

Double games for the European teams, but Spurs playing Liverpool in the early game rules these two out for me.

Arsenal vs Bayern could be a disaster zone based on previous meetings and Everton playing Utd puts me off a Utd defence.

For me that leaves Chelsea or Man City, who both our their own issues at the moment.

Is this the week when a team with one game wins the prize for someone?

[Walter Bishop]

Well done on last weeks win Ashers, must feel good. I am on a mission to win something at this game and feel the weeklies are my only shot. Thought I was going to pick up a little £25 last week but 595th wasn't quite enough

If Kompany is back I reckon the Man City defence will be popular. They are the only one of the teams in Europe with both games at home so might well be the way I go. Some things can only go on so long before they happen and Kane and Hazard must surely be due a goal or two. Like a couple of weeks ago the game was won with a Stoke defence who hadn't kept a clean sheet until their game at Villa it was due too.

[mesmerised]

Thank pluck the International week has come and gone, now we can get back to some proper football.

For the weekly, City's defence has to be done especially now Kompany is back, they only started to concede when he was injured, it may well be popular but a boat not to be missed with two home games, you're a braver man than me if you go with Chelsea's or Arsenal's backline, or crazier

Leicester have conceded 15 goals in 8 league games and are there for the taking, Morgan and Huth are slow and on the wrong side of 30, constantly being pulled out of position, Pelle and Mane will have a field day.

With Walcott in midfield, it's like having 4 strikers on the pitch if you go 433 and is desperate to prove himself as a striker, though Bayern have only conceded 4 goals in the Bundesliga and 0 in the CL, Arsenal have to go for it, lose or draw they're out, they wont be getting any change in Germany

Fancy Sturridge to score v Tottenham now Dier is suspended, can't underestimate the defensive job he did in place of Masion protecting the back 4, he's better than Bentaleb too who will probably slot in there. Question is, will Sturridge start v Kazan, with Benteke out, Ings out and Origi not good enough, I'd imagine yes, especially with Klopp's gegenpressing style, Origi would be a poor focal point. I'm reluctant to use any of Chelsea's players, it seems to me, because there were so many untouchables last season that virtually played all season long without break, they are now mentally and physically exhausted.

Would be no surprise to see giroud starting v Watford with Walcott and perhaps Sanchez being on the bench

Kompany prob wont be played and saved for midweek, I also have question marks over DB starting too.. Kolorov may also miss out

Not as easy as it looks

[Redrum2]

Think Mane maybe on the bench after playing in an international match this week.

Remember Koeman didn't play in the league fixture after he played an international match last time.

Mahrez may be on the bench as well.

Anyways, Man City should beat Bournemouth without the need for Kompany and so they can give him a rest for the midweek champions league fixture.

[em9999]

Leicester will get a result v Southampton

Southampton will not get a easy ride

[the-postman]

man city should win of course but they have shown in the past month a vulnerability to leak and Bournemouth will carve chances against them with their style of play

no silva to control the middle either

then a Seville team who are hardly a back number in Europe

yuk

[em9999]

Hard to predict man city's back four also

I may and I say may risk a Chelsea defence

Not sure yet but I'm also tempted by a arsenal back four as I think we will do well against Bayern and keep a clean one v watford

[the-postman]

Bayern are awesome when on it..anything resembling the last match it could be a greek tragedy again

Chelsea is the big imponderable

if they do wake up well

[em9999]

Bayern are good yeah but don't over egg the pudding. We are more than capable of beating them, home and away

Nothing to be scared of, its them that should be scared of us in fact

[sleuth]

Bayern are good yeah but don't over egg the pudding. We are more than capable of beating them, home and away

[MADCHESTER UTD]

9 times out of 10 I go for block back 5 defences but ive changed it this time. fed up with picking a block only to see them concede a goal in the first 5 minutes (or last 5 like Belgium conceding to Israel last few minutes), thus messing your chances up of doing well. especially annoying when its the early 12.45 kick off. I know the block tactic usually wins a weekly but I need some consistency for the fiso weekly game

[MADCHESTER UTD]

Bayern munich P11 W11 D0 LO Scored 24 in last 6 matches. Lewandowski has 41 in last 41 games club n country. my favorites for the champions league this season. real Madrid have boring benitez so wont be as potent and will draw too many, barca don't look the same as they did last season, juve have lost some of their best players, and the prem teams to be fair look 2nd rate compared to the cream of Europe. actually think if arsenal finish bottom of group and avoid Europa league, then they'd be my new favourites for the prem title. decent defence now with cech, Gabriel looks decent so CB cover for mert and kosc, sanchez is on fire, Walcott n giroud seem to be scoring consistently, ozil is starting to look the part, ramsey is one of the best midfielders in prem and more importantly city, utd and especially Chelsea look nothing special etc etc

[em9999]

Wait till arsenal beat them

Bet they wont be any good to anyone on fiso then

All I will hear is ain't Bayer crap

[em9999]

And quite frankly I want us to lose anyway

Best thing that could happen to us having less games than our rivals

And having a team that looks fully capable of winning the prem

[sleuth]

So the prize pool is £30k for this week with prizes for the top 1,000.

what a load of eff SHITE!!

SO 990 PRIZES OF A eff POXY £25 THAT DOESN'T EVEN BUY A eff ROUND NOWDAYS. THATS £24,750 WASTED IN PRIZEMONIES.

Just make the winners prize worth eff winning and a couple of runner up prizes what a waste of time trying to get excited about wining a poxy £25 .

eff ruining this game this season.

[the-postman]

it is a strange year so far and yeah arsenal have a chance again but that's more down to city losing major players at an alarming rate than arsenal being better than last season
you can see them finishing in front of utd and Chelsea though as it stands

not replacing giroud will probably hurt you in the end because Walcott more often than not falls apart at some stage of the season

agreed 100%. they really need to sort this out for next season and this season hopefully. when will dave Watkins realise that none of us are that bothered by £25? I don't mean that to sound bad in an arrogant way as im only a postie myself but surely our eyes would light up far more if the top 100 got the £24k spread instead. don't think by finishing 1000th you should get anything as you were probably miles off even 100th place.

[mad dog]

£25 down to 1000th place. Just don't understand it. Would much rather the top prize was more

[Zimmerman]

[mad dog]

Leicester will get a result v Southampton

Southampton will not get a easy ride

Do you think? I'd have Southampton easy home win.

Hazard owners should curse the starting of this thread - if I had done it I was going to have Hazard in the title following my nostradamus like title for last week!

Start a new one....Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Suarez's Bite]

think moderators can change thread titles but never mind that let's predict how which excuse moanrinho will use this weekend when villa take all 3 points....the grass was too long? Ivanovic was out? Costa was rusty after 3 game ban? Zouma's laces werent tied up properly? Matic wasn't wearing his lucky socks?

he always has one up his sleeve

[em9999]

Again always down to other teams having injuries or being poor

Change the record its boring, we have had more injuries than anyone and if the man city squad cant deal with that they don't deserve to be champions

Yawn yawn yawn
.

[Stoneybatter]

Is there a breakdown of the prize money anywhere? All I can get is 30k spread between 1000 players.

[em9999]

Willian is the Chelsea player with the most appeal at the moment

[MADCHESTER UTD]

Willian is the Chelsea player with the most appeal at the moment

scored 2 for brazil mid week but I don't think i'll ever go for willian even when he's on form. not prolific and im always wary of whether he will play or not since pedros arrival

[the-postman]

im not anti arsenal emm..its clear to see wenger has been messing them up for years

4th place is like winning a trophy

[bloggie]

Bought no-one,Terry stopped performing most probably due to age others probably due to being overplayed last season,structure gone and sold their prize goalie to Arsenal.
