CC League 1 - 12th/13th August

Welcome rc...nice to see you here.

I'm a big fan of the 'defenders as strikers' bets, as they are perhaps the most blatant of value punts. Cheers for the info

[rcgills]

Thanks for the welcome. Just to clear one thing up, Spiller is usually a central midfielder rather than a defender. He does chip in with a few goals even from midfield, but obviously it's nowhere near the same value as if he's playing up front. I'll post team news here before 3pm, if you prefer to hold fire until you know he's playing up front.

Even better then...not some useless oaf with a foot like a 50 pence peice

[rcgills]

Useless oafs? None of those in the Gills team, I'll have you know . Anyway, line up is confirmed, team unchanged from first two games. Doesn't guarantee Spiller will be up front, we could go 4-5-1, but he has been in both the first two games.

Can also recommend Chris Hope (central defender) as a potential scorer. I tend to back him most weeks anyway, he's always up for corners, free-kicks, etc. (and has been known to score from direct free-kicks). This is also the first time since he joined us in 2000 that he'll have played Scunthorpe (his previous team). 9/1 to score any time.

I'll give it a bash with interest stakes then - cheers rc

[rcgills]

Spiller's just been taken off after 60 mins, fingers crossed for Hope then

[Beanie]

You never know, and at the very least it looks like they could notch the three points

[rcgills]

Well I'll certainly be happy if it stays like this, don't suppose it'll be much consolation to you though

[Beanie]

ICT and Hibs are winning with my big bets for the day, and unless Hibs lose 3 goals in 10 minutes I'll finish the day in profit whatever happens, so Im as happy as a pig in shite

Just little interest stakes on these ones, and I reckon we got value for money, so no regrets about taking it.
