I Tf'd Gabbiadini out because I thought he might be rested (Puel rotates a lot but I didnt think he'd make that many changes. One of the reasons I picked the GK rather than a Soton defender for 36 and 37) plus he just didnt seem to be getting any chances when I watched their last two games.
I also realized that if I brought Sane in (which I wanted to) myself and Mrs Grey would have 7/8 of the same FWD and MF players. As I needed to counter her bench boost by having a couple more different players to give myself a chance I decided he had to go.
I couldnt risk Koscielny (despite thinking he'd recover) and figured I needed the funds from him to Holding plus Alli to Son to get Costa in (the only other FWD I thought worth taking a chance on was Vardy).
It cost me 8 points but if Son, Holding and Costa do better than Koscielny, Alli and Gabbiadini my 97th, 88th and 89th Bazfers ;wahoo would've been worth it in a calculated risk type of deal. ;lol
Not that I analyse way too much of course.... ;hmm
Can you tell I'm typing for the sake of it whilst waiting for the Arsenal game? ;wink
Davies on bench for me... Hence the assist after 5 minutes ;doh Sometimes having too many good players isnt a good thing (allied to a consistent wrong selection from the squad choice factor of course ;whistle )
There's always a chance that a Chinese consortium could want a change of manager. I think I've done a reasonable job in trying circumstances, especially early to mid season where I had to use all my skill and experience (luck) to climb both tables ;whistle
I have to give credit to Redknapp though. He didnt copyright 'down to bare bones', 'wheeling n dealin' or 'triffic' so I could use them in my post match interviews
Ummm, you only have 1 chelsea player! It cost me 4 points to bring in Costa and watch him on the bench ;weep I could've saved those 4 points and watched Gabbiadini on the bench instead ;doh ;lol
Feel free to take it in turns.... Maybe some verbal chastising and humiliation too? Or is that just turning a little bit too much into 'fantasy' football ;wink
One of those bite you double GWs where the brave and the reckless and the canny had to fill the squad with Chelsea, Man City, Arsenal, Southampton and Spurs players.
Dont they care about the real game? Fantasy football!
They should have the decency to inform us a week in advance who's going to be rested so we can tinker accordingly.

This can be such a frustrating game

Your posts in this thread have been more entertaining that the actual game ;biggrin
