Everton - Chelsea looks hard to call so have booted all four of their players to the bench including my talisman Ivanovic

[Nikolas Vitus Lagartija]

Looks like you might be needing that hair dryer again, boss.

[Pista]

This any help?



Mwahahahahaha

Where are the rest of the Imaginary Boys this week ? A classic case of "You're not singing anymore " ??

[Pista]

I think they are frantically adjusting their teams as quite a few of these "world class athletes" appear to be knacked after 2 games.

[Mav787]

Choices, choices, choices

[Pista]

Di Maria's looking pretty dangerous. Could be a good signing there

[Johnny Rev 7.0]

Is it me? Or is Rooney a bucket of shite?

[Pista]

Need Dzeko to come on and score a couple of goals now

[eastmidswhizzkid]

Need Dzeko to come on and score a couple of goals now

no such luck.

[Pista]

Yeah. I know

Still. He had a couple of shots

[Nikolas Vitus Lagartija]

My wholesale changes have totally backfired and having captain Rémy withdrawn before the game was the final straw. Heading for mid-table obscurity. Sorry, Boss.

On the plus side Remy not playing means you are getting the Ivanovic points.

On the negative side the captaincy moves to YaYa so you get his points doubled, and he only scored one point.

[Mav787]

Also when Remy is confirmed as a Chelsea player you will have 4 players from Chelsea. So you will have to transfer one out.

Aye, I'd forgotten that.

took you long enough

[eastmidswhizzkid]

although dzeko was match-fit as he only played 28 minutes i'd have been better off with my 4-5-1 formation...but only by a point. 29 points from 6 players -ivanovic being my hero again- with 5 hopefully starting tomorrow. totally needing a big result from liverpool

got to replace giroud at some point but not making GW4 transfers till i see how the rest of GW3 pans out...just in case.

Blimey you're all researching long and deep into the ins and outs and possibilities of each player in the context of each game aintcha? Is that how some folk have already amassed upwards of 150 points? I just go with players I know are half decent for their club, and look no further....and it shows, a measly 14 or so points today. I figured it'd all even itself out over the season, clearly there's a fair bit more to it eh? All being well tomorrows lot will do better, but tbh I have no idea how players amass points other than by scoring or assisting, I just know my one city muppet amassed none today. If I sell him he'll score a hat-trick next week, for certain. Ah well, until I start to seriously let the HL Massive down I'll just have to make do, no time for studying form like some of you seem to be.

^ cheers for that, I don't like the sound of those minus points one bit.

Seems counterproductive to say I'm hoping for a big game from Spurs today, but hey Lee at least one of us will have contributed to the cause today

& Lambert's on the friggin' bench again

& Lambert's on the friggin' bench again

As a LFC supporter I could tell you that Lambert isn't going to start many games at all BUT as you're on the opposite team I won't.

& Lambert's on the friggin' bench again

As a non LIV fan, but a Nigel, it was always pretty obvious that he was bought as an impact sub. Even before Mad Mario's arrival. Maybe he'll start a few when the CL starts and rest/rotation kicks in.

A waste of one of your forward slots, especially when there's a blue-shirt on the other side of Stanley Park who's banged in 3 in 3. And is £2m cheaper.

@ Mav787: Maybe we should be charitable and throw them a few scraps every now and then?

Otherwise by the time we get to GW10, they'll be pissed off and take their ball home.
