Matchday Open Thread
Sat Dec 15 02:06PM
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?

IM this storybent with 3rd who wud have thought my team bb very pthetic tday worst performnce 4 a decade
From adeem991 on Sat Dec 15 04:43PMWho looks better on the barn door between RSC and Bent. Probably won't keep either in the end but want some options. WIG seems to have the better double week schedule.
From bradley_albright on Sat Dec 15 04:55PMMarcus Bent for the barn door? Can this be just a blip, or is the "other Bent" rounding into shape to do some damage?
From krokodil_g on Sat Dec 15 04:58PMScharner can replace Bale as the defender who plays midfielder..
Nolan continues to get points for me on the cheap... good back door pick.
Got Yakubu back door.. before his hat trick.. continues to produce...
Got Tuncay on the cheap back door... another keeper.From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 05:02PMScharner can replace Bale as the defender who plays midfielder..

Someone mentioned Bent/Wigan. Bruce has these lads fired up. I'd avoid West Ham and Blackburn for the time being... Bent/Tuncay - both good back door picks...ditto Harper/Reading...From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 05:04PM(33) Perhaps Landzaat? He is cheap... and on a roll, as well... and on my squad... w/good matchups...
From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 05:07PMRe: (6): Agreed. Was all set to pick up N'Zog, but seeing him in D makes me wonder.
From bradley_albright on Sat Dec 15 05:21PMdropped cruz two minutes before deadline last nite =[
From matt.chizzy on Sat Dec 15 05:21PMdecent team i had santa cruz tuncay downing larsson petrov muntari scharner samba nelsen given
now i am a bit confused on who to pickFrom vincentca2003 on Sat Dec 15 05:36PMAnother back door possibility... Parker/West Ham.... he looked in form today...
From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 05:41PMParker did look good, but he's the sort of player you want in your real team not your fantasy team. He might score points here and there, but he'll always be too inconsistent since he's more of a holding midfielder.
From mjk437 on Sat Dec 15 05:46PMWho would have thought Spurs were capable of keeping a clean sheet? And against Pompey no less!
From mjk437 on Sat Dec 15 05:50PM(41) I hear what you are saying... and have opted for the likes of Landzaat/Parker(Reading)/Nolan, the latter two games ago... Johnson/Birmingham is a similar to Parker... I've had some luck w/midfielders like Parker, though... ditto Whitehead... neither are long term "holds".... more "filler"...like Convey.... "filler"...
From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 06:04PMSchwarzer and Given should also be on the back door list... if someone needs a cheap keeper...
From donegal08 on Sat Dec 15 06:21PMPoor ol Fulham--but though Newcastle grab the win, Martins managed to do pretty much nothing, which seems to be in line with my luck thus far.
From mjk437 on Sat Dec 15 07:10PMCrucial penalty decision...How unfortunate can Fulham get?
From wrigavin on Sat Dec 15 07:11PMdoes anyone know why given hasn't received any points?
From matt.chizzy on Sat Dec 15 08:11PMsorry about the double post. does anyone know why koumas and given haven't recieved any points?
From matt.chizzy on Sat Dec 15 08:12PMi Got 40 points and only dropped 70 points seems like evry1 had a poor week
From mamur_a on Sat Dec 15 08:15PMi Got 40 points and only dropped 70 places* seems like evry1 had a poor week
From mamur_a on Sat Dec 15 08:15PMRe 47 & 48: Given didn't yet get points becuase NUF-FUL was a later game, points from that game should be updated later. On Koumas - he never got off the bench.
From krokodil_g on Sat Dec 15 08:24PMwhy don't pens count as SPG's?
From biggerp2002 on Sat Dec 15 08:35PM116 pts baby and im back up there with top 2000!!!! inspiring week
From vincentca2003 on Sat Dec 15 08:35PMsomeone tell me why didn't komas play????????? and will he play next week??? and could we pick players from Newcastle for next week after what we have seen in that poor game..
From fear_zone_911 on Sat Dec 15 09:07PMGiven looked just fine.
From krokodil_g on Sat Dec 15 10:15PMWhere was Oliver Kapo today, he wasnt listed as either starter or sub.
From packerd_00 on Sat Dec 15 11:57PMomg,still have rosicky,joe colw,lampardd,ronaldo and eboue,really can't wait the match..deg2
From shunshetzbhoy_10128 on Sun Dec 16 01:13PMC'mon Pool! Shame they don't televise the match in the US.
