Talking Chelsea and two-gamers with my friend, and fantasy football newbie, Tundra United.  After the jump.



[14:49] Tundra United: Wait.
[14:49] Tundra United: Looking at your lists again...
[14:49] Tundra United: did you sell Drogs???
[14:49] Jeremy Spitzberg: waiting
[14:49] Jeremy Spitzberg: i haven't saved changes...
[14:49] Jeremy Spitzberg: but yes, that's the idea
[14:50] Tundra United: ahhh...I unsaved my changes. Starting over. Not so high on CHE now...if Drogs is out...and Lamps and Ballack and..
[15:05] Jeremy Spitzberg: jcole bargain of the week?
[15:05] Jeremy Spitzberg: or does he still find himself behind deco?
[15:05] Tundra United: at what price?
[15:05] Jeremy Spitzberg: 6-something
[15:06] Tundra United: Could be. But you're right: does he play?
[15:06] Tundra United: And do you really think Drogs is out? I
[15:06] Tundra United: I'm thinking he plays. He's a force of nature.
[15:06] Tundra United: I'm not making changes until Thursday for that reason.
[15:06] Jeremy Spitzberg: i'm waiting for more definitive news
[15:06] Jeremy Spitzberg: broken ribs aren't fun
[15:06] Tundra United: Although I am contemplating Schwarzer for Robbo.
[15:07] Tundra United: As well you know...but Drogs has better pain-killers than you had.
[15:07] Jeremy Spitzberg: it's the logical move...
[15:07] Jeremy Spitzberg: though if robbo does enough at $3...
[15:07] Jeremy Spitzberg: almost a waste of 7 bucks
[15:08] Tundra United: Yeah...I'm just concerned that he gets shelled in one of the games.
[15:08] Tundra United: AND...I'm counting on most of my MFers and FWs to do just that.
[15:08] Tundra United: So I'm kinda betting against myself with him in the net.
[15:09] Jeremy Spitzberg: hedge, or double down?
[15:09] Tundra United: potayto...potahto
[15:10] Tundra United: What about Jaasklainen? Home to Rovers...possible clean sheet.
[15:10] Tundra United: And same price as Schwarzer.
[15:11] Jeremy Spitzberg: maybe he'll save a PK
[15:11] Tundra United: And maybe he won't.
[15:11] Tundra United: But do we really think Schwarzer has a shot at a CS? Home to Rovers, @Birm?
[15:13] Jeremy Spitzberg: a shot, sure
[15:13] Tundra United: I'm also thinking that there's no point selling Drogs...I only get 10.76 for him.
[15:13] Tundra United: Replacement value is squat.
[15:13] Jeremy Spitzberg: but no, not sure it's worth the addtl $7
[15:13] Jeremy Spitzberg: now...
[15:13] Jeremy Spitzberg: where to spend that money is another issue
[15:13] Tundra United: Stop being so sensible.
[15:14] Jeremy Spitzberg: schwz/emerton to robbo/baines
[15:16] Tundra United: that's almost 1:1
[15:16] Tundra United: dollar (pound) wise
[15:16] Jeremy Spitzberg: wait... forgot i was still on kalou
[15:16] Jeremy Spitzberg: $2 shy of moving to the elk :-(
[15:17] Tundra United: emerton is interesting to me. DGer, low-cost, not many people have him...all good things.
[15:17] Jeremy Spitzberg: doesn't get any points is the downside
[15:17] Tundra United: I have his teammate, Givet, at .33 more.
[15:17] Tundra United: Yeah...for .33, I figure Givet is the play.
[15:19] Tundra United: Now Baines...lotta point potential there in two games. But...almost $12
[15:19] Jeremy Spitzberg: takes kicks
[15:19] Tundra United: And on road for both (ManU and Hull).
[15:19] Jeremy Spitzberg: i love them kick takers
[15:19] Tundra United: Gotz to kickz if ya wantz da pointz
[15:19] Jeremy Spitzberg: bellamy @ liv
[15:20] Jeremy Spitzberg: hmmm...
[15:20] Tundra United: Yeah...he's still in my lineup. I'm torn.
[15:20] Tundra United: Will the real Citeh please stand up???
[15:20] Jeremy Spitzberg: not anelka home to wolves
[15:20] Jeremy Spitzberg: but...
[15:20] Tundra United: Can Anelka do it on his own?
[15:21] Tundra United: Switching gears (and positions)...I ask again: Stephen Hunt.
[15:22] Tundra United: Discuss amongst ya'selves...
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: i'm not sold
[15:22] Tundra United: me neither.
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: seemingly bullard and geo in front of him for pts
[15:22] Tundra United: bullard perplexes me too thought
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: kicks, etc
[15:22] Tundra United: though
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: great fantasy player
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: selfish as all hell
[15:22] Jeremy Spitzberg: ball hog, shoots from anywhere
[15:22] Tundra United: But 2x the $$$ of Hunt
[15:23] Jeremy Spitzberg: because of that
[15:23] Jeremy Spitzberg: just that he's been out for a year with a horrible knee injury
[15:23] Jeremy Spitzberg: not sold on hull in general
[15:23] Jeremy Spitzberg: but with 2 home games..
[15:23] Tundra United: Well, that too.
[15:23] Jeremy Spitzberg: not sure who plays what where w/ bullard healthy and geo back
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: geo still off the striker with bullard behind?
[15:24] Tundra United: Geo burned me twice.
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: ditto
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: more than that dating back
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: burned me when i had the opposing keeper
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: then promptly went cold when i bought in
[15:24] Jeremy Spitzberg: i never learn
[15:25] Tundra United: But ya keep comin' back for more, don'tcha?!
[15:25] Jeremy Spitzberg: i always do
[15:25] Tundra United: Here's a squad no one's talking about right now: Spurs.
[15:25] Tundra United: Home to Wigan.
[15:25] Tundra United: Thoughts?
[15:25] Jeremy Spitzberg: what about West Ham at Hull?
[15:26] Tundra United: Thinkin' a little THudd might go a long way.
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: collison ;-)
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: hurt his knee...
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: but if he's back...
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: also they host burnley next
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: CCole?
[15:26] Jeremy Spitzberg: if he's back?
[15:27] Tundra United: is a single-gaming FW worth 10.77?
[15:28] Tundra United: other than, say an RVP, Rooney, Torres (no counting injury, of course)
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: shortage of good 2x game FW
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: Saha...
[15:28] Tundra United: Clearly.
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: [crickets]
[15:28] Tundra United: Saha seems the obvious one;
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: yak?
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: zamora a value pick
[15:28] Jeremy Spitzberg: roberts or disanto
[15:29] Tundra United: Yes, 2-gamers all...but all on the road.
[15:29] Tundra United: Is that really two games?
[15:30] Jeremy Spitzberg: JVoH?
[15:30] Jeremy Spitzberg: Jozy?
[15:30] Tundra United: AIIIEIIEIIEEEEE!
[15:30] Tundra United: JVoH????
[15:30] Tundra United: STEP AWAY FROM YOUR MACHINE
[15:30] Jeremy Spitzberg: don't make my type it out
[15:30] Tundra United: SLOWLY, CAREFULLY, WITH YOUR HANDS AWAY FROM THE KEYBOARD AND MOUSE
[15:31] Jeremy Spitzberg: just listing the options
[15:31] Tundra United: That's no option.
[15:31] Tundra United: None.
[15:31] Tundra United: Zero, zip, zilch.
