Matchday Open Thread

Sat May 03 04:45AM

This week we're upping the photo jinx!  Last week we got two... this week we're going for three!  My Who is Playing Derby? team has been running away with things over the last month so it's no surprise that my "real" team is trending in that direction. Last week I had four Gunners and this week - like the image jinx - we're uping the ante.  No fewer than seven Rovers.  JRob, RSC, MGB, BFDB, Warnock, and the former-MLS tandem of Nelsen and Big Bad Brad Friedel.  Jummy makes the team as I'm thinking home to BRM should mean fireworks.  The other places are enablers... Theo up front.  Not loving the home to Everton matchup but Theo is nicely priced.  Enabling, right?  BFAndy Reid in the midfield.  Again, the matchup isn't great @BOL but he's been on the team for a while and he's been worth the 7 and change.  The last spot and the biggest worry is Paintsil @ManU.  How bad could he be, right?  And if I drop from Big Brad to Carson, what do I get?  There are no defenders six and below that are of real interest.  Maybe Woody, but not loving @Red.  Konch or Stalteri?  Meh.  So we roll the bones against Derby.

Good luck to all this weekend.  See you in the comments, in this, your penultimate matchday open thread.
