I'm thinking of Ballack now, because surely he'll start after having a good game against the magpies. Sam I could indeed make two transfers but a 4 point penalty might just be too much given how tight it is in my league. I know the 2 above me will choose Ronaldo as captain, might do the same and hope I can overtake them with my other players. 1 point behind 4th and 8 points behind 3rd, it’s tight!

I know the 2 above me will choose Ronaldo as captain, might do the same and hope I can overtake them with my other players.

If you are right Lukey then my final transfer of the season is now becoming clear. Update - just been on the FPL website and it says: Latest News Groin injury - out for season Bugger So what do I do. I can buy Gerrard NOW with zero left over, that means if there's a price shift in the wrong way, he's out. I could buy Ballack or Essien. Is Ballack guaranteed a start? Not sure. I think Chelsea will win well. Gerrard is away to spurs, could be a tough match. Not many goals. Need to get this one right could mean the difference of finish 5th or 3rd in my league... need your help guys...

Looks like he has his eyes closed when picking out a pass. I note that tonights match is 4pm, so nice for punters who have to work for a living. Is this the first time ever it's been at that time mid week? Eboue is really dreadful isn’t he. Looks like he has his eyes closed when picking out a pass.

The Arsenal v Everton game was a waste of time - Andy Johnson looked quite sharp early on and Adebayor has two good chances but the rest was barrel-scraping stuff; and Eboue advertised very explicitly his uncanny knack of giving the ball away literally every time he had the ball..

Had no idea Fab would be benched, and sounds like Adebayor had an average one? I didn't see the game. Clichy really bailed me out of trouble on Sunday.
