#3 in overall standings in Champions league fantasy, 6 points behind first place 🙂

Would you take a chance in my place and go all-in with Chelsea defence next week? Could be disastrous, but could also be a first place winning differential.

Baines probably out for the season = Valencia starts ahead of Sexignon..

Shame about sess and bendy.. failed miserably GW34.. chasing 10 pts in Europa now to go through..

Team for this week:
Bogdan
JEvans, Kompany, Simpson
Valencia, Walcott, Siggy, Dempsey
Aguero (C), Rooney (VC), P Cisse

Krul, Vermaelen, McClean, Caulker

Would anyone do anything differently? Don't like benching Vermaelen but I can't see him keeping a clean sheet against Chelsea while playing alongside Djourou.

R.Taylor to Collins would be a good move for this week or McClean to Ben Arfa ?

Hey guys I'm seriously thinking of getting in Dempsey for Walcott this week to face Wigan at home followed by the DGW and then Sunderland at home.

Given that i) Walcott is also playing at home to Chelsea and ii) Dempsey's DGW fixtures are both away, is this a good move? Just not that sure about Walcott tbh. Also have Bale but I have more faith in him than Walcott.

i think yesterday's game has proved one thing:

BARCELONA COULD SUFFER ON A COLD NIGHT AT THE BRITTANIA!!!

in other news chelsea have made a bid for rory delap to take long throws duty form ivanovic

Team for this week:

Krul
Evans - Wheater - Skrtel
Valencia - Bale - Siggy - Dempsey
Tevez (c) - RVP - Cisse (vc)

Subs: Vorm, Walcott, McAuley, Caulker

Good to go? Subs alright?

Morning!

Honestly guys I am getting just as cheesed off with this Rooney/RVP >>>>Aguero/Tevez situation as it the next guy. But you can't hide away from the fact that any of those moves could pay off handsomely. These are the kind of moves we should be craving at this stage of the season. For those of you that are chasing your respective mini league leaders this should be a no brainer. But this should also be appealing to those that just want to better their overall ranking.
Personally if I was to make a move it would be RVP>>>>Tevez and then I would stick the captaincy on him. If you break it down RVP has only amassed 1 goal in his last 6 (granted with 3 assists in that time). Compared to his 7 goals in the previous 6 (also with 3 assists). That stat is most likely to worsen without the influence of Arteta in the middle of the park. Plus they face a resurgent, full of confidence, strong Chelsea side that are fighting for one another who will want to extract some sort of revenge after THAT game at the Bridge. You could argue that Chelsea need it more in their battle for 4th spot. Also when you look at the ownership of Tevez and RVP you should be rubbing your hands together. Ownership of RVP as at around 38% and Tevez at just 2%. If it pays off think of the differencial factor giving your ranking a healthy shot in the arm.

Also lets not forget City play the basement club who's form and confidence is shot to bits...added to that they've lost arguable the best aspect of their defence in Wayne hennessey. We've been moaning all season about how unpredictable City's strike force has been with regards to rotational issues but surly this is arguable their most settle strike force in terms of rotation.

Listen I am not a one for the knee jerk (except for Dzeko at the beginning of the season, but the less spoken about that the better ;)) but this move has got legs. I know RVP could easily score against Chelsea, I know RVP is a class act and can score against anyone for me he's the Player of the year. I have had him all season long and even went against the grain last time and kept him for the game against Chelsea at the Bridge for THAT hat-trick. He's saved my ass on a number of occasions but maybe now it's time to part ways.....sniff sniff. But I can't do it alone.....

It's all about improving my rank for me now. Used my ft to do McClean to HBA. £0.1m left

Vorm, Al Habsi
Evans, BAE, Williamson, Cahill, Turner
Dempsey, Walcott, Ben Arfa, Sessegnon, Siggy
RVP, Rooney, Aguero

So many avenues floating around at mo. A 4pt hit will get me 7 dgw and Vorm, Sess, Siggy and Aguero with favourable/intriguing fixtures

Captaining Aguero 35
Cisse, Mata or Bale in 36

Am I far off the mark?

Pick 3 for this week

Verm, Evans, Skrtel, Simpson, Caulker

Sooo, Baines-> ???, Huth maybe?

Happy I didn't use either of my transfers yet, gives me more options.

So who are the top Everton defender picks for the DGW and rest of the season. I heard that the central defence is now Distin + Heitinga/Jagielka and I imagine we have Neville/Hibbert

Are these the likely picks or will they drop Coleman back?

Who's going to be on pens for Everton? Jelavic? Cahill?

Kompany is very close to a rise but I need Valencia to rise as well in order to afford:

Kompany, Verm and Valencia>Cahill, Walker, Lampard.

Could only happen if Valencia goes bonkers against Everton!

Any ideas on fixing up my side?

Krul Vorm
Verm Evans Shawcross Simpson Turner
Walcott Dempsey Siggy Sess Valencia
RVP Rooney Graham

0.7 in bank, 1FT.

Probably selling Rooney for a City striker, any 2nd trade for a hit worth it?
Also which attacker to bench, Graham or Sess?

Thanks in advance.

Sorry if it's been discussed before, but who will the Everton penalty taker be now? Pienaar? Jelavic?

Morning. I'm away for the weekend tomrw so I have to set up my team today

Krul
Verm. Evans. Simp
Valencia. Siggy. Demps. Walcott
Rvp. Rooney. Cisse

Subs. McCLean. Caulk. Baines

Look ok? I have 1FT.

Arteta has missed 3 games (2 full games & the Wigan one) this season for Arsenal, they lost all 3 of them.

In the games Ramsey has played 60 or more minutes (25 games), Arsenal have won 12, drew 3 and lost 10.

In the whole season Arsenal have drew 4 and lost 10. In other words, With Ramsey playing less than 60 minutes they've only drew once and won the rest.

Doesn't look good, I miss Arteta already =(

Bbc Sport.
The Liverpool Echo are reporting that Everton and England left-back Leighton Baines could miss the rest of the season with a hamstring tear.

Having to waste a transfer on taking out a DGW player for another 1 is a massive kick in the swingers, this season just isn't throwing me a bone.

Rooney RVP Suarez

Plan was to swop Rooney to Ade next week but not convinced Suarez will play both games. City rotation makes me nervous about getting any of their forwards, especially with no dgw and Man Utd looming.

Suggestions appreciated

Can anyone comment on Ramires for GW36 for me? I thought he played well and always seem to get quite forward.

Bit unsure about minutes though...

For this gw
A) sell Young & Walcott play Nasri
B) sell Young & Nasri play Walcott
C) sell Walcott & Nasri play Young
D) sell any of 3 and play Sigurdsson

I plan to sell the remaining one of the top 3 trio next week (injuries permitting)

Replacement for Baines? Have Verm already.

Kompany
Assau-Ekotto (wouldn't touch him without the double tbh)
Other

?

i need 12 quality players (1600+) for h2h league
code: 789344-589137

Devestated about Baines. 🙁

Ive had him a few months now and was hoping for some good returns from GW36/37&38.

Im looking at Terry as my replacement. Any thoughts on his playing time? Who is more likely to get a rest in GW36 A.Cole or Terry?

Has anyone ever transfered players in late at night just before bedtime and forgot you put them in in the morning?

I woke up to check if Tevez price had gone up to see if I'd missed out and then realised I swapped RVP for Tevez and Sessegnon for Dempsey

Holy sh*t!

Another issue that i'm sure has been discussed aplenty around here all week..

How likely is G.Cahill to play both dgwk matches? Trying to find a Baines replacement 🙁

DAMN YOU BAINES! 3rd in my money league and the leaders didnt have him. Total nightmare! Who would you guys bring in as a replacement? Ashley Cole perhaps?
