How many doubles for GW26?

Post by **Bert** » 06 Feb 2006, 10:33

10 for me, would have been 11 but Chimbonda's suspended, so Lampard stays

Ive got 8. RVN, Lamps and Jaskaalinen are my single GWeekers who will play.

Post by **Jonathan** » 06 Feb 2006, 11:36

7 at the moment for me... that could well change but nobody is really sticking out at the moment. I like the look of Jenas or Keane for just the two games but they then miss GW27

Nine over here.

Cech and Lampard the exceptions. Still need to upgrade Zamora to a double gameweeker and Ramage (another with a possible 2 games) will be confined to the bench ... 8)

7 or 8 depending on team selection for me with Jussi/Lamps/Nolan/Ruud making up the other 4 that could play. I'm reluctant to sell any of those so I don't think there will be any other changes.

i see the momentum is building ... perhaps an "i dropped frank" support group may be in the pipeline.

9 for me - Lampard and RvN the exceptions. may yet sell lamps if i can find a good bet for the double GW who also fits in with my long term plans ...

8. The others in my team are Gallas, Lampard and Rooney. I also have Griffin on the bench who's a bit useless for his upcoming games. But I should probably sell Rooney for someone.

7 currently, 8 if I play Lennon. Free transfer might add another.

Post by **Elvis77** » 06 Feb 2006, 17:35

8 for me so far possibly 9 not worked out number 9 yet.

Post by **M-boy** » 06 Feb 2006, 18:09

8. Theoretically 9 if I played 5-4-1 and Lee returned, but I won't and he won't. Actually, it could have been 10 but for Reina's moment of madness. I will now have to bring in a new keeper. Also, Chimbonda could have made it eleven, but is now suspended.

10..oh no wait..no keeper

9

9, possibly 10 but may not go for all of them....................

Post by **fancy dan** » 07 Feb 2006, 13:24

only 5

(2 Liverpool, 2 Blackburn, 1 Charlton), would have been 6 but Whitehead's suspended for 1st game. Maybe it's time to get transferring...

Post by **squealy** » 07 Feb 2006, 15:30

8 as things stand. Might well be 9 before the deadline.

Post by **redrum** » 08 Feb 2006, 06:48

mine is possibly down another now that gerrard is in doubt for the Wigan game. i presume he will be back for the Arsenal game ... which leaves the choice of keeping him in and treating it effectively like a single GW for him and hoping that he does play against arsenal, or trading him for this double GW either for another liverpool player or someone else likely to start twice .... and take the 4pt hit and money hit on gerrard ......

Redrum... you have a stirred a question I have been meaning to ask. In a double GW, you have player who, for whatever reason, misses the first game but plays the next. Does autosubbing wait until the GW finishes and therefore the player you originally picked stays in?

Chimbonga (as my wife calls him, bless) is banned for the first game in GW26 but available, and therefore presumably will play the second, he will stay in won't he, and get whatever points he gets for the second game?

I realize I'm not redrum but...

A player in a double week is only auto subbed if he doesn't play both games.

I have Ashley Cole on the pitch and Chimbonda and Breen (in that order) on the bench. If Cole doesn't play either match, Chimbonda plays only the second game, and Breen plays both, which sub comes on?

sadly .... yes. the manager above me in our work league has reina, carrol, heskey, chimbonda and gerrard. hows that for an interesting couple of days of FF management ...

the subbing works as it always does - the highest eligible player on your bench who plays is the first one onto the pitch. the only difference is that before a player is subbed off, he must not have played in either game (as opposed to the one game in a normal GW)

Only one way to tell if you are Redrum ...

Are you or are you not trying to justify making your 60th change of the season? (is this some kind of record?)

twitters ... the gap is narrowing.

OK... as I thought.. just wanted to check on behalf of my wife - not that she needs my help at the moment: 72pts last week and currently 50pts this week with D Bent and Powell to play

You should hear her say Chimbonga though.... makes me laff!

A fightening thought. Truly frightening.

I just made my transfer for the coming gameweek to bring my total to 38.

I've been much better lately, much more disciplined with an actual plan, and I can see it starting to pay off.

Instead of my past strategy of panic and uncontrolled tinkering.

I'm in awe of the idea of 60 transfers. That's a lot of commandment breaking.
