Around SBN: The MMA (After) Hour

Week 24 Pre-Deadline Countdown LIVE

Untitled-4_medium

Morning all - I have the hangover from hell after a DJ gig last night where I was fed unlimited free drinks - I've only had a few hours sleep and now Sarah wants me to do "chores". I have decided instead to open this chat.

My team currently:

Krul, Ayala, Taiwo, Vermalen, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Sigurdsson, Sessegnon, Silva, Campbell, Aguero, Van Persie

Doubts over the starting status of Ox, RvP, Campbell and I don't want Ayala, so there is a lot of work to do over the next few hours. Let the live chat commence! How's your team shaping up?

Arsenal line-up

We MIGHT get it – we usually get the 12:45 kick-off team news via Twitter around 10-15 mins before deadline but with Arsenal v Blackburn at 1pm today it’s going to be very tight

Pls rate my team

Hi Nik, what do you think abt my team :
Krul
Vermalean Clark Taiwo
Dempsey Gibson Ireland Siggy
RVP Aguero Cisse

Am a bit worry not having Silva, but I have to downgrade Taiwo to Ayala in order to afford Silva.

Bad feeling

I think this weekend will be very tricky and it will boil down to whether RVP starts and perfoms. paying for him full price is really kiling me.

by John Garcia on Feb 4, 2012 1:19 AM PST reply actions  

bad luck

i finally have a week where i can make a good team WITH picking RVP at full price and arsene decides to think about resting him.

Krul/Clark,Taiwo,Vermaelen/Silva,Ox,Siggurdsson,Valencia/RVP,Kun,Jelavic with 0.51 left in the bank. I still hold Onuoha and Donovan in the back and wondering if i should go for that instead of Taiwo and Jelavic. Any suggestions?

Cheap defender

I’ve got 5.79 to spend on a defender and can’t decide. Could just keep Ayala and hope he gets me some points. This is my current team Vorm- Clark -Taiwo – Silva – Gerrard – Dempsey – Bellamy – Aguero – Cisse.
Any views?

by Spoonthumb on Feb 4, 2012 1:23 AM PST reply actions  

Do we trust Wenger :-)

My team at the moment

Krul
Clark Taiwo Verm
Silva Ireland Siggy Ox
RVP Kun Ba

I was happy until I read Nik’s post that Sun was saying RVP may be rested. Sitting with RVP on 21 so keeping him anyway but not wanting two 0’s if Ox is out as well

To Bale or not to Bale?

I was thinking to swithc RVP to Bale. Any comment?

by Musteng on Feb 4, 2012 1:30 AM PST reply actions  

Considering Wenger might rest RVP, changing to Bale is safer

by eXoDuZ on Feb 4, 2012 1:32 AM PST up reply actions  

Like many in the same boat...

I’ve squeezed RvP in at the expense of other areas. I’ve had to plump for P Cisse, who’s another high risk starter, but he’s not exactly stale after the ACN. I also went for J Morrison on the BD.. and suspect WBA will actually have too much for Swans at home.

Question is do I drop RvP and P Cisse for Ba and Zamora!?

by chrisgeorge on Feb 4, 2012 1:44 AM PST up reply actions  

I’ve gone for Walcott.. not in the same scoring sphere, but guaranteed a start and blackburn are pony. Allowed me to replace P Cisse with D Cisse and Ba too.

by chrisgeorge on Feb 4, 2012 1:44 AM PST reply actions  

yep, I have both + ox – I’m going to have set up a “without RvP” team in case we get news a minute of so before deadline, which may involve RvP to Ba and Campbell to Henry (if he’s starting). Would then be able to upgrade Ox to a much more expensive middie

by Nik Argiropoulos on Feb 4, 2012 1:47 AM PST up reply actions  

not a bad idea. im looking for a contingency plan, myself. but if there is no news before the deadline, im just sticking with rvp+campbell.

definitely possible that we don’t get it, although if RvP was rested it’s the sort of big news hat might sneak out before we got full line-ups

Ox – doubt, late fitness test

Sigurdsson – doubt, rotation risk

I’m worried

by Nik Argiropoulos on Feb 4, 2012 2:17 AM PST reply actions  

maybe rvp will be rested, but will come off the bench to score a brace?

by chrisgeorge on Feb 4, 2012 2:18 AM PST up reply actions

…worried about the snow? I know Premiership grounds are supposed to be able to cope, but they do get called off. From the forecast it sounds like the most likely affected games are Man City, Newcastle, Chelsea.

by the_junes on Feb 4, 2012 2:40 AM PST reply actions  

I wouldn’t expect so, ice outside was the biggest risk for postponement last year and it was a whole lot worse than this.

by Federal on Feb 4, 2012 2:41 AM PST up reply actions  

tomorrow's games are more likely to be in doubt that the ones this afternoon

Snow’s predicted for mid afternoon – games will take place today but if it was really bad then tomorrow’s could be in danger because of the health and safety but I think its a very slim chance

Hello everyone

This is my team as it stands now:

Krul

Vermaelen – Taiwo – ……
Silva – Ben Arfa – Valencia – Sigurdsson
Agüero – van Persie – Cissé

I’m looking for the best defender then: Onuoha? Heitinga@7.66? Santon? Williamson?

Then if van Persie doesn’t play, everything could change… Got him @full price.

Thanks for your opinions!

Nik - thoughts on weather

Never thought I’d have to follow this like the NFL in December, but here are my questions for you:

I wanted to start Dembe Ba, but I’m having 2nd thoughts. How does a player react to playing in tropical climate to sub-freezing temps in one week?

2. Is the weather going to cancel any of the premiership games? Wondering which place has the best possibility of a frozen pitch?

Thanks.

It is snowing everywhere this afternoon, but will clear from the west of England fairly soon, so no worries in Manchester. In the east. i.e Newcastle, London, it may snow until the early hours of sunday morning, but there is no snow for tomorrow during the day.

I wouldn’t worry about it TBH

by CPFC on Feb 4, 2012 3:10 AM PST up reply actions  

No weather should not affect the pitch.. Most premier league clubs have under soil heating.

It should snow heavily in London tonight but no signs of chelsea game being affected.
Newcastle game shouldn’t be a problem.

Even if RvP starts I think Henry will get some match time and a player of his quality will find it very easy to return his value

So the consensus is to keep RvP at 21?? I’m torn. Market is what, 25, and wouldn’t he come down in price if he sat? Wouldn’t be left with a big discount…

Aside from a minor knock to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Wenger has no injury concerns from the game at the Reebok Stadium but the tight turnaround in fixtures means he may shuffle his side. At his pre-match press conference, the manager did not even rule out resting Robin van Persieand the Dutchman is surely the first name on the teamsheet right now.

I had him 3-4 times this season. Hoolahan is not a sure starter. Perhaps dropping Baines and updating your MF/F line. But your choice.

by Sanitizer007 on Feb 4, 2012 3:50 AM PST up reply actions  

RVP

if he plays, price may go up later today, with all of us in same position. . and you missed the window to get him just under 26. He’s the top scorer by far— by almost 100 points. I’d be more worried about Ba not starting.

Ox

Sold him and took ramsey instead. Great

Had 4.5 so went Ayala to Onouha – not ideal having 2 QPR defenders but had 30 seconds to make up my mind!

let see who is better. both start

by mzul on Feb 4, 2012 4:12 AM PST reply actions  

rosicky

he’s been so poor so many times it’s VERY difficult to see him getting more than 5 points. Ox looks really lively every match, it’s a question of time his shots turn into SOT’s and goals

Subsitutes

YFF is by far the best fantasy game out there, BUT for not having subs.More luck involved in guessing who managers will pick, as to who will perform based on match up & form

by shakanorbs on Feb 4, 2012 4:12 AM PST reply actions  

Exactly

Should have one sub at least, I mentioned this several times last year. I am doing fine this year, (top 500) but luck plays to large a role.

The only counterargument is that Nik is an example of skill over luck with his consistent finishes over the last few years.

good morning all. this is the happiest i have been with my team in a while.

szczesny
vermaelen, senderos, wheater
bale, bozsaky, siggurdson, sessegnon
aguero, lando and ba

the only alternative that i liked was van persie and ox for ba and sessegnon. hopefully arsenal gets a dominating win and vermaelen gets a brace.
