Do you remember Wenger’s face last week;
imagine that as a little angel on one shoulder, and the devil is then the
frustration of the fans? I don’t know how you should imagine my inner voice,
but perhaps someone with an emotional gravitas, Geoffrey Rush say. SCENE SET
Inner voice - I really have a system, I
didn’t just pull it out of the air like, what happened?
Angel - Don’t worry, it’s not you fault,
you made decisions no one died, you made
them with a good heart.
Devil - You are a c***
IV - woah there Devil, that’s bit harsh.
D - F*** Y**, spend some money you C***
IV - I did, 98.5 million
D - … oh yeah. Can I change my opening line?
A - Ok
D - Thanks…. I still don’t like you Angel
you know that yeah?
A - It’s ok, I forgive you
D - F*** you, you C***
IV - Ehm, for an inner voice I’m not doing
much talking lads?
A - Sorry Ronan
D - Sorry you C***….. anyway….. What were
you doing game week 1 and the
same mistakes as last season and the season
before, you’re a disgrace…
A - He does have elements of a point there
Ronan.
IV - But I said it was going to be
different!
D - Saying and doing are two different
things, like those stairs in your house, you’ve
been saying you will repaint
them for ages but have you actually done it?
IV - Good point well made. But what does it
do for my fantasy team and the
Back Of The Net Boy blog?
A - Oh yes, how about some constructive
feedback and thoughts of Game week 1 Devil?
D - Meh, that’s pretty boring I’ll leave ye
do that yerselves.
So here we are, Gameweek 1 came and went, Chelsea,
Man City & Man Utd are the current 1,2,3 of the actual premiership and that
is how many predict the league will finish at the end of the season too, but in
the FPL it’s still all to play for etc.
REVIEW OF MoRoDon’tKnow FC PERFORMANCE IN
GAMEWEEK 1
Points earned - 73
Average
- 63
Place in BOTNB League – 50 (bottom spot of
the 1st page)
5 players got 2 points or less, pffft. The
lads at the front led well with 3 goals between RVP and Soldado, and my captaincy
of Hazard got me 16 points, and Ivanovic’s goal and NOT sending off earned me
15 - those 4 players earned my 75% of my
points. This was a medium return as opposed to mediocre, I will need to shake a
few trees (and not obvious big hitter trees to get this ship back on the road),
to get to the top. So that means serious study and committed work….
TRANSFERS
There are so many balloons in the air after
GM1 regarding transfers and the list of names to come up on radar is a lengthy
one. I am going to make no transfers this week, not particularly to have a
double for next week, just cos I will stick with my hand and see how it goes.
(ie I need to head off)
GAMEWEEK 2 SELECTION
I look at my team and can’t decide what to
pull at first; it’s like when you start emptying a cluttered room, where do you
start? In my case I usually look, sigh, go off for a coffee and make a
list. As proffered to me on the BOTNB Facebook
page I made a mistake with O’Shea, and the one match kneejerk reaction has been
that Sunderland are dooooomed.
I have no reason to say that they will pull
it together but I’m going to leave him in my team, as I fear more for Liverpool
playing at a vexed Aston Villa ergo I leave Touré on the bench. With Anelka not
an option this week R.I.P. [yes I know he has apparently retired], I have the
question of whom to bench between McAuley, who will be playing at Everton with
WBA or Lescott at Cardiff? Right now I will leave Jolien on, even though as I
see I have one of those win-lose scenarios since I have Bellamy playing too.
Perhaps I will tinker the WBA man on after all.
CAPTAIN
The
SlowMotionSequenceInAnAmericanSportsMovie fan in me wants to go with Bellamy,
first home game with Cardiff etc etc, but realistically it’s a toss up between
my front two of Mister 14 Million and Soldado, and while I don’t think the
Swansea defence is porous, I feel pensioners will try and put quite a squeeze
on the game in Old Trafford, so I’m erring towards Soldado getting the armband.
That might get tinkered with of course.
FUTURE TRANSFERS, ON THE RADAR
Interested in Sinclair switch to WBA (can
any Irish FPL player have a single thought about any WBA player without
thinking about his effect on Shane Long – I’m thinking Long leading the line
and creating space for Sinclair to run into?); also on my radar is Bent at
Fulham, and despite my fears at Sunderland, I’m intrigued by Altidore too.
I hope you have a great fantasy weekend
fellas and fellettesm but not as good as me.
