Vardy on!!!!!!

Post by **Tom QC** » 16 Jan 2018, 21:29

Mahrez running at defenders backing off from him is one of the sights to behold in today's premier league. It always seems to lead to a goal.

Post by **buttonphobic** » 16 Jan 2018, 22:35

What ever possessed me to bring in Vardy today!!!! Only plus is that it was for Rooney and I think I'd rather have Vardy v Watford than Rooney v WBA.....just

Just noticed I've slipped into the starting Xi top 100 and without a Man City player!!!!

I'm 227th and I've got 2 - and 5 other good picks. Other 4 are appalling though. Mkhithingy, Tom Carroll, Jack Stephens and Kolasinac (ok he is more so so and now unlucky rather than appalling). Made sense at the time......

I think all 4 of those made sense at the time. My team is Coutois Cahill Alonso Davies Valencia Willian Salah C Milivojevic (my weak link) Kane Lukaku Rooney. Fingers crossed for a Willian ha trick tomorrow!

I’ve actually got 4 teams in the top 100 out of 12 teams in total

Sadly this only underlines how badly I’ve played this season when I compare that to overall league positions .... I suspect I’ve got too many Fosters and Bertrands for my starting 11s to deliver any prizes.

What do you guys think to Christensen as a transfer tonight (considering he starts)?

Cahill imjured and Chelsea have a good run of easy fixtures coming up.

My only concern he isn't a nailed on starter long term.

Post by **SPR** » 17 Jan 2018, 18:37

He was nailed on until Cahill took his place for a couple of games.

Find out how long Cahill is likely to be out for as in the last few weeks Christensen hasn't been first choice.

From Twitter - Chelsea team tonight: Caballero; Azpilicueta (c), David Luiz, Ampadu; Zappacosta, Bakayoko, Drinkwater, Kenedy; Willian, Batshuayi, Pedro

Christensen on the bench

Post by **murf** » 17 Jan 2018, 18:49

subs: Eduardo, Christensen, Sterling

, Kante, Musonda, Hazard, Morata.

There's one big January transfer I hadn't heard about!!!

No Alonso...

FFS.

Post by **johnmc** » 17 Jan 2018, 18:55

Who nthe fu$k is Ampadu. I'm guessing he's playing centre half, instead of Christensen

Let's hope he or Luis pull up in the warm up.

Post by **Tom QC** » 17 Jan 2018, 18:56

Is David Luiz only playing in the Cup this year for some reason? Conte not happy with him or something?

Post by **murf** » 17 Jan 2018, 18:58

All I can hope for tonight is that Chelsea concede and Christensen comes on to save them with a hat trick. That's all after Conte realises Sterling is cup-tied after playing for Citeh in the 3rd round (proper!) and so puts Alonso onto the bench instead and he also comes on to set up all of Christensen's goals.

Post by **Sieben** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:01

The FA Cup is such a lottery. Most manager's just take the piss anyway. I was convinced Kane and Vertonghen would be rested but both scored 12 points. I have Sanchez and Son instead. Oh well

Post by **murf** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:02

Oh, and to confirm that nobody has anything to care about tonight:

Swansea City manager Carlos Carvalhal makes eight changes from Saturday’s 1-1 Premier League draw at Newcastle, with Alfie Mawson, Tom Carroll and Jordan Ayew the only players to retain their places.

Swansea XI: Nordfeldt; Naughton, Mawson, Fernandez; Roberts, Mesa, Fer, Carroll; Narsingh, Ayew, Bony.

10 changes for Bournemouth:

AFC Bournemouth: Boruc; Cook, Surman (Capt), Pugh, Arter, Afobe, Daniels, Mahoney, Fraser, Mousset, Simpson.
Subs: Federici, Hyndman, Ibe, Butcher, Hobson, Ndjoli, Taylor.

(I say nothing to care about but 10 goals from Tom Carroll would push my leading starting xi up the leaderboard nicely. Please!)

Ampadu is a very promising 17ish year old who I used to see play at Exeter. Ok so that was Exeter

I believe that there was a row a fair few weeks ago, and Luiz has been "injured" since; and various rumours about a move for Luiz. However, gven the Soap that is Chelski: Roman may like Luiz and will sack Conte for a manger that will play him... (I'm hoping this is Simone who insists on bringing Costa with him

)

What position?

Post by **johnmc** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:11

Just googled him Centre half or defensive midfield.

I think Dave might be worth a 2/1 shot. Captain's armband. . .

Yep centre half who like to bring the ball upfield

Post by **ChrisD** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:23

Christensen's become quite annoying. Chelsea not conceding but illness kept him out and then rotated. Can't quite justify getting rid as their upcoming games are so good and he may still play.

That said he was never getting a clean sheet tonight, the Canaries will hammer them. (He says in hope rather than expectation)

I 2nd that and my floating back up into the top 10 looks bu3gered.

Post by **LenH** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:35

Thirded!

Also praying for a late Hazard encore of 2 or 3 goals to get them out of trouble before he finally bigger off (out of my team, not RM) at the weekend.

Post by **phils69** » 17 Jan 2018, 19:48

Game delayed until 8, just for info. Doesn't affect transfers.

Post by **brencarr** » 17 Jan 2018, 20:06

Bournemouth cleanie gone at Wigan
&
.... Swansea 1-0 up, J Ayew

Post by **SPR** » 17 Jan 2018, 20:08

Christensen not starting should mean he's a starter going forward, would be nice if he got some points today though.

Hazard not starting is very disappointing, should have cut and run on Saturday. Hopefully Hazard comes on though after a scoreless first half.

FISO
