Fantasy Premier League

Matchday Open Thread

Sat Dec 15 02:06PM by You

Manchester United and Chelsea players are silhouetted during their English Community Shield football match at Wembley Stadium in London, August 5, 2007.

Today is just the warm up. The appetizer to the football buffet that is Grand. Slam. Sunday. Excuse me, Grand! Slam! Sunday!

But for fantasy managers, it doesn't matter if your points come from Eastlands or the Emirates; Joe, Ashley, Andrew, or Carlton Cole; Steve Sidwell, Howard, or Gerrard; Xabi or Mikel; Dickson or Kelvin; etc... You get the, um, point(s).

Good luck, and let us know how your team is performing.

Consider this your match day open thread.

Update:

Big holiday week with two-gamers as far as the eye can see coming up. I'll start the barn(es) door discussion. Bianchi, BFDB, Nelsen --> Martins, Koumas, Scharner. Rovers are CHE,@MAC. Which is probably the worst set of games for the week. Wigan - though lord knows I think they are terrible and are doomed this season - play @FUL,NUF. I'm not picking Bramble or MBent, but there could be some points in those matches.

What do you think? Who are you picking up before the barn door closes?

    Wigan's only creative player Koumas dropped to the bench...Steve Bruce is stupid.

    Koumas on the bench for Wigan. No Dawson for Spurs, but the Kevin Prince-Boateng (KP-B) era begins. DeRidder drops to the bench for BRM as Johnson and Forsell start. Revised Barn Door, Koumas out. N'Zog in. Sure to change 15 times in the next few hours.

    Jeremy - Does N'Zogbia playing at full-back not put you off him?

    Wow, so that means bad news for teams who gambled on Koumas, Elano and Mokoena. Mokoena's on the bench for Blackburn. Didn't choose any one of them thankfully. =D
