The Rounded Keeper - FPL Pub Talk & Matchday Banter 2016-17

[TheoRiginal]

Valencia's clean sheet gone in 33 seconds . . .

[Stemania]

What a start!!

Pedro (Alonso) 1-0

[From4corners]

Amazing pass by Alonso.

[Pirlo's Beard]

Amazing pass by Alonso.

Alonso assist? Damn, I might have to get him in for Valencia earlier than planned. He's going to absolutely beast that left side of Chelsea's team.

In terms of the game as a spectacle though, that goal is the absolute best thing that could have happened, as Man Utd can't just sit back now and hold on to what they have.

[Weisenwolf]

Despite the poor performance on the eyes (though they completely dominated the last 15 mins or so and looked very dangerous I thought), it was against a very very well organised unit - possibly for me one of the best 2 in the league defensively. After all the main reason City didn't win was simply because Stones passed the ball to Redmond one-on-one with the GK - Southampton didn't really look a threat otherwise.

Anyways - does anyone else wish they didn't play FPL sometimes? I really want to enjoy the spectacle of the 4pm game, but I know just about everything that can/will happen (Costa/Ibra goals or Che/United CSs) is bad for my FPL so will be tough to enjoy.

Your an optimist I have only Costa and would love a high scoring ding dong of a game but I fully expect to feel like I'm waiting for the 280 to Oxford

[JoonaR16]

Nice. I have a clean sheet and goal on the bench and Mancunian wink(s) starting.

You wait the whole weekend and when one arrives another three will probably turn up as well.

This might explain your long waits: "Due to long-term roadworks in Oxford, the 280 service will be operating a non-standard timetable from 6 June 2016"

[blahblah]

Is McQueen a possible FPL pick?

He and Martina are only playing because Bertrand and Cedric are out.

Target?

Yep, Targett and Pied injured too - four fullbacks out for them amazingly. Makes their defending more impressive.

Or it says more about Citeh's attack?

I was faffing so wasn't really watching it, but Citeh didn't look going forward from what I saw.

[Aldershot Rejects]

#MCFC players still locked in dressing room with Pep 40 mins after final whistle. He doesn't sound a happy bunny.

shame there's not room for the hundreds of thousands of FPL managers that they have pi55ed off

[Stemania]

Cahill (no assist?) 2-0

[blahblah]

Ah the joy of having shipped MU defenders

[Stemania]

Chelsea's improvement has coincided suspiciously with Ivanovic dropping out of the team.

[foxinthebox2001]

More drive and determination in this Chelsea team in 20 minutes than in the whole of 16 league games they played under Mourinho last season put together.

[TheoRiginal]

Ah the joy of having shipped MU defenders

Well, I tried to bench Valencia.

Unfortunately I replaced him with Amat . . .

[Malrom]

Shall I get rid of Kund and Ibra?

[Aldershot Rejects]

Ah the joy of having shipped MU defenders

Well, I tried to bench Valencia.

Unfortunately I replaced him with Amat . . .

That's a tad unfortunate!

[Pirlo's Beard]

Man Utd players appear to be auditioning for a Night of the Living Dead remake.

Or:

[Spinynorman]

Ah the joy of having shipped MU defenders

Still got De Heya and Shaw.

[TheoRiginal]

Is Shaw injured or poorly again or does Maureen just not rate him?

The way Blind is being ripped to bits by Pedro and Moses I think Shaw might get a speedy return to first team duty real soon.

[payetme]

lol, chelsea battering united

[Striker]

Soon or in about 5 minutes time?

[From4corners]

Hazard with the third. Matic assist I believe.

[blahblah]

Chew Chew Eden, how much is he now? 5m?

[scarletjim]

Hazard with the third.

Dammit, wanted him to fall a bit more before possibly getting him in a few GWs.

[TheBigLewandowski]

Was out today so just back in. See 3-0 Chelsea but then realise nothing for Costa who is in my team. Ah well!

[Paulista]

Costa if you aren't going to score or assist today, at least get a fifth yellow.

[Owsler]

Hazard with the third.

Dammit, wanted him to fall a bit more before possibly getting him in a few GWs.

Yes, this is a real pain.

[blahblah]

Costa if you aren't going to score or assist today, at least get a fifth yellow.

Only the 65th minute, it'll be after 80
