LancsVillan

I maintain that Kodjia scores better goals than any of our other forwards but isn't the best goalscorer we have, though with Bruce as boss we will never play in a way to get the best out of in the box scorers. 

That said I feel sorry for Kodjia, not because of the injury but because of the hype and expectation level that is being built for his return. Not helped when the official site keep going on about it either. If he doesn't score for a couple upon return and we don't win then he could wel become just another scapegoat.

Bruce criticised the young players (he blamed himself for picking them because they were jaded) and he's mentioned that this game needs experience. I expect to see Jedinak, Agbonlahor and Hutton in the starting eleven. I hope I'm wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if both Whelan and Jedinak play in front of the defence. That will be a six man defence at home.

If Gabby starts I'll be watching Bake Off

**** sake 

I voted against it to try and stop it going through ..... shocking

Whelan looked Knackered on Saturday and gets less effective with every game for me. Green n Davis both injured, Jedinak nowhere near match fit so I would go, well actually I wouldn't as I would have drafted O'Hare and Doyle-Hayes in from u23 but not going to happen as they played last night. That said I would go:

Sam

Bree                   Chester                     Terry                Taylor

Lansbury

Elmo                                          Hourihane                           Thor        

Snodders

Hogan

It has the experience and supposed creativity / goals to win against any side in this division, if they are told to play with freedom and not defend should we go ahead.

Is RG3 still in the league?

Getting released by the Browns wasn't going to see a lot of teams coming for him

Looks like Kodjia will be playing 45 minutes at the Bescot on Monday. 

Should be interesting to see him back.

 

Kodjia v Virgil Van Dijk

I could be tempted into trading either one of Nelson or Montgomery. Not sure I like having 2 people from the same team.

just sent you one that should work for us both, be my first trade IIRC

EDIT: Rejected already....... oh well there were only 2 points between them on projection as well, never mind

Thanks for offer @rhyscartwright_avfc but I  am happy with roster at present and Lacy is dropping down ranks as it is

TBF to FDB Palace deserved to get something out of that, possibly save him from the sack this week too. Pressure sure to mount but sacking him now would be utterly stupid

Quite a few waivers this morning then...

I'm gonna lose to @LancsVillan this week by whatever Brady does, after drafting him, dropping him then trying to resign him this week and Lancs getting there first. Doh!

I can't see the league's transactions only my own

Cannot find, can only find our FF League Pick 'Em and I'm the only one doing it

Eli Manning is available for trade.

From the man who is joint top of class for report cards.

Predicted 13 - 1 Rob, bet you don't

50 Shades has 2 kickers , 2 defenses, Watson on the bench and no bench WR's.

It's  a bold strategy Cotton...

Yet his report is a B and is predicted to get a playoff shot...

I have no idea how that went, other than no one was laughing as I went this year, lets see what my predictions are after I was predicted to win just the 1 last year

Our scoring system favours Brees.

Wish I understood our system a little more.

Happy Birthday BTW

1 min is easily enough, I have work early tomorrow and might have to drop out if it takes too long. Hopefully the site knows when people aren't available and will auto-pick immediately for them like the Premier League draft did

Like a voice chat/text chat opensource place where we can hurl insults at one another.

Do it and you can all laugh at my selections. I had a quick look at the player listing and was amazed that Theisman and Riggins have retired

If only I knew what one was 

6th - how did I get that high. Post draft last year I was predicted to win only one week and ended up with a few more. 

@sexbelowsoundReading up before the draft - wish I had chance. What is so bad about Brady at 3, isn't he a bit good at American rugger

Locking this now as it did require a separate thread, but back to the generic boxing thread 

The ability to take a punch wasn't really a question CM had to answer, just sheer weight of punches

And finished...... boxer wins. Not as easy as most thought but once he had seen off that initial burst he was getting more on top by the minute. 

Quick stoppage, possibly but you have to remember that in boxing the ref will stop too much damage

Boing time for bed after a 12hr shift then the fight

Thing I cannot get out of head is that any sort of close fight will lead to a rematch

One that wouldn't attract the hype and/or $$$$ as it wouldn't be unique a second time (or are Yanks/fight fans that thick  )

I think it's turning a little towards Mayweather.

I'd go Mayweather in eight right now.

Do well to last through the 7th. Mayweather on the front foot, unlike him really

Floyd looks some distance from the boxer he was a couple of years back.

 

Probably why he looked for an 'easy' one to get to 50 - 0 .. oops

Agree with Bunce on 5L. Mayweather looking his age, he needs McGregor to start tiring, he does seem to be doing just that
