You mean Corkinho, master of the tapinho? I still expect Remy to make a recovery and come on for a point.

Remy's injury seems to have worked out ok for a fair few people by the looks. There's a number with wba or Arsenal defenders that i've seen. And there's a pretty good chance CK would have had Siggy on his bench too. :o

I was edging towards benching Kane to be honest as Newcastle have been lax at the back for weeks, also part of the reason for getting Ospina for 36, as it is we got the information I decided that both were better options than Rémy. I will probably bench Sigurðsson in 37 if I do Cambiasso :arrow: Larsson.

Don't know if its relevant or not but Chelsea appear to have deleted the tweet about Remy not being available from their feed. No mention of it on CFC.com either.

I hear it took a while for the smoke machine to arrive due to bad traffic on the M25.

Yep, lucky Remy owners again getting lucky points from the bench. Typical. Does my head in. If I had Remy in my team, I can guarantee that my sub replacement would be a 1 pointer. Im sure that when Slurp doesn't play tomorrow there will be more people with lucky bench points.

I get Boyd's standard 2 points. Was really hoping for one of his occasional star performances, but not to be :(

Should we not at this point change the thread title to: "Rémy - could the time have been more wrong?" :lol:

Presumably it also did your head in in GW8, when you got George Boyd's 8 points off the bench, and again in GW14, when you got George Boyd's 9 points off the bench?

By the looks of it Remy isn't even in the provisional squad:

Courtois, Cech, Ivanovic, Luis, Fabregas, Zouma, Ramires, Oscar, Hazard, Drogba, Mikel, Costa, Matic, Willian, Cuadrado, Cahill, Terry, Azpilicueta, Blackman.

So, it looks like your points are definitely safe. Yay! :D

I will only relax when I see the team and bench and he's not on it. Fantasy luck vs fantasy skill.

I got rid of this turd as soon as i could this week. I don't even know what's wrong with him. He's never even on the bench.

He's injured (calf) although reports were that he was training this week (presumably lighter fitness training). It's possible that he will be back for the weekend, but Costa is back too so there's no point owning Remy at all.

Just a heads up:

Transfers out for Remy have really picked up. Looks like there's an outside chance he'll drop tonight. Giroud looks safe until tomorrow.

Now likely to fall. May have to bring Giroud in before the pressers.

Is he suddenly a really good option till the end of the season again?

Jose today said he's fit again for this weekend and that Costa may not be used again this season if the title is wrapped up. :shock:

Possibly, I'm not going to get overexcited yet, as Costa coming back in 36 could still put a dampener on it.

But if Rémy looks likely to play all of the games, I might do Kane :arrow: Giroud instead.

Probably worth just keeping my options open.

:lol: I've not sold him yet as was waiting to make sure that Giroud (or anyone else in my team) doesn't get flagged, but it's quite a nice home fixture (probably better than Hull away for Giroud). Do I really trust Mourinho, hmm I don't know but the scenario is basically the same as when I bought Remy in in the first place so I am tempted to keep him for this one game anyway.

Is Costa definitely out? I see he's red flagged on FPL now but that's not more mind games (no idea why they'd be needed)?

I don't know what I'll do yet, but holding the transfer to next week isn't a bad idea since I can still bring Giroud and Ozil in, but will just have to be careful on price changes as I've only got 0.1 spare now.

Yep. In fact it's worse than that - he may now not play again this season (if they keep winning)!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

It's a shame really, as I'd like to bring Remy back in if we knew for sure what would happen. I don't think I can justify it though so will likely be stuck buying either Benteke or Kane as a third striker for the rest of the season, neither of which I am at all excited about. :|

Even if Costa is out for the season and Remy is ruled fit it will be risky to have him. You have to assume that with the league won (presumably this weekend) that Mourinho would at the very least give Drogba the start for the last home game in week 38 and I would not be surprised if he did the same at home to Liverpool in 36. This is his last season at the club and Mourinho would surely want to let him get his well deserved ovation (yet again!) at the Bridge. For what its worth I think this will be the exact same situation for Cech which is why I advised people not to get Courtois for the double and beyond. Is just my opinion of course but make of it what you will.

Yes. I do think bringing Remy in would be a waste of a transfer (well 2 probably when you have to remove him again). If you already had him over the DGW though its essentially get rid now or wait a week and see what happens.

I won't lose anything by deferring Giroud to next week and will get an extra few days information with a potentially quite decent differential in my team.

Remy will start over Drogba most likely wont he... the league isn't won yet afterall.

I'm keeping Rémy for similar reasons Mav. I expect he should start, and if he does not play at all I'll at least get Cambiasso (NEW) off the bench.

I think Rémy this week is a marginally better prospect that Giroud, but carrying over the FT will better prepare me for any injuries to any players I am planning to bring in, changes in plans, and give me the opportunity to switch out Coutinho or Kane for an Arsenal attacker rather than Rémy should Costa be ruled out for the rest of the season.

I agree if you have him it is not bad to keep him. Just trying to persuade those thinking of bringing him in for the rest of the season.

Why would you ever sell Kane? His average has been great since he started scoring, and he had 2 goals and 2 assists against Chelsea for example. And do you really trust Manchester Citys defence that much. , 10/10

Look at the fixtures...with the DGW I would take Giroud outscoring Kane any day.

Yeah but getting rid of Kane shouldn't be any option at all especially if you paid less for him than his prize right now. The front rest of the season should be Aguero- Giroud and Kane for sure. Anything else would be ridiculous

But if Rémy was going to play the rest of the games of the season, I could either keep Remy or Kane if I get Giroud. Price wouldn't be an issue.

There's more than one way to skin a cat, however Giroud is 3m more than Kane for me so I don't think I could sell and still bring in Ozil or Ramsey alongside him and Sanchez. Stoke away and then Hull at home aren't bad games and most people are keeping Kane for the City game anyway so it's probably not a priority, although Everton away in the last game doesn't sound great.

I'm going to keep Remy for this game, and have two frees next week for shipping Arsenal players. Price change watching is imperative though as my 0.2 buffer is gone now.
