Heartland

Woohooo! Another GW! 5 down and already some of us have our heads in our hands. SOME players need to pull their socks up, gird their loins and score some points. Or be rested so they can get back on fleek. Stevie baby has summed up the last GW so here we are in the Batcave for a soothing post-Champions League normal set of fixtures. It was a bit up and down for the English teams, but at least there aren't any big injuries. A positive - Ronaldo has been offered roles in several pantomimes so watch your local press.
Fixtures and fittings for the week:

Saturday 22nd September

Fulham 12:30 Watford I think Fulham will spank Watford's backsides and show what they really can do.
Burnley 15:00 AFC Bournemouth A draw to give Burnley a small boost but frustrate Bournemouth
Cardiff City 15:00 Manchester City FPL's top goalie v the top scorer. Both teams could do with a win. There could be a rollercoaster game in store.
Crystal Palace 15:00 Newcastle United If Zaha survives, Palace will win.
Leicester City 15:00 Huddersfield Town Leicester really neeed to sort it out.
Liverpool 15:00 Southampton Ings' return a bittersweet one or a triumph? Neither, as he's ineligible to play. I really hope Salah is back to full fitness soon.
Manchester United 15:00 Wolverhampton Wanderers Wolves to win, despite Pogba. A little European tiredness may help.
Brighton & Hove Albion 17:30 Tottenham Hotspur Lordy, owt could happen. Spurs now three losses on the bounce. Kane needs a break or he'll lose all confidence. I won't be watching this as Mr S' team are on TV at the same time and it's his birthday so he wins that one.

Sunday 23rd September

West Ham United 13:30 Chelsea Spam v Buns. Not sure this is the most attractive fixture.
Arsenal 16:00 EvertonThis could be very interesting. Walcott is back and looking good. Might be worth a lounge on the sofa for.

Stats from the Stats page: Salah was the most transferred out player this week, Aguero 3rd. Kane went last week. Most tv in - Hazard and Fraser, who got 38 points between them last GW. Injuries to look for -Arnautovic, Lascelles, Mendy and Matic. Luckily Aguero and Firmino appear to be ok (nice eyepatch celebration from Bobby the other night).
Onwards to GW6 and the pesky Carabou Cup to add to injuries and fatigue. And that's just us.
Check that your team is woke, and all will be well. x

Ready

I think this weekend could be a tricky captain pick.
I think Lloris will be a wise choice though.

SABOTAGE!!!!

i said nice things about palace, too. *flounce*

I have come to the conclusion than Pep is checking my Fantasy team and deliberately dropping any Citeh defenders I have picked that particular week. Is he a m*****n fan??

haha. i think if Pep relied on most of our FPL picks, he'd be out of a job by now

tbf, most of us are in danger of being sacked :p

Tbh that was a better Spurs *flounce* than the ones we normaly see from Dele Average most weeks

Heck in a handcart, if I can't outflounce a mere male footballer I need to hand in my goth credentials, never mind my girl ones

oh crap....better check my team...

yes, please!

i think i'm okay...at least my team seems okay..

Ms Strange, I did say you outflounced Mr Average, so please keep your girl status as I doubt any male deserves to remove that. Now can the Mighty Reds build on Wembley last weekend *hides behind bar stool*

Let's have a little look at Liverpool in training this week

Hmm.
Quite happy with today's haul so far.
Would be happier if Aguero hadn't been hauled off on 60 minutes. He loses the clean sheet points now.

is ok, Swinnow, i'm not THAT keen on having a girl status :p
Steve, what you on about? Aguero doesn't get clean sheet points...

I have amassed a mighty total of 40 points. I am currently above average...

(by 1).

BTW; the subs don't work.

They only get added when the GW has finished & the site tots up the scores

Anyone manage to stay awake through the Wet Spam v Chelski game?
Good result for Liverpool I suppose, but if the blues play that bad next week they will get their erses handed to them

i had it on while i was doing my maths planning but it didn't impinge on my consciousness.
bit like this arseve game
