Matchday Open Thread

Sat Dec 22 11:13AM by Jeremy

Newcastle United's Obafemi Martins

So that was fun.  Basically spent the day paralyzed by indecision.  Cesc, Martins, CJerome, Torres, Adam Johnson... ???  What to do?  Whom to pick?  Match-ups.  Rotation.  Form.  Argh!

So after reviewing the rules I decided that the final tie-breaker was the ever-popular "Pick whomever is playing Derby and/or Wigan."  So good luck Torres and Martins!  Best seasonal wishes to the festively named Eliot Omozusi.  Here's hoping that Cesc doesn't make me regret dropping him off the barn door. Though you and I both know that he will.

Happy holidays to all, and consider this your matchday open thread.

    RVP has picked up a knock and not making the first game. Hope he makes the next.

    Not wishing to be smug (well, maybe a little bit) but I'm surprised so many of you put RvP in... Given his high price and recent return to action I'd have waited at least one more week.... Mind you, I'm relying on Dave Kitson as a 3rd striker this week so what do I know?!

    Wow, next week, both Bolton and Blackburn are blessed with a Derby/Sunderland double. I know we don't bet on Bolton (or BLA lately save RSC), but this is a definite "except when we do."
