“I love to attack and I love to go up front...It is a little more difficult than when you are playing centre-back. If you play the way that I want to play, I think my influence is better as a left-back. For the team, it is best that I play as a centre-back. I like to bring the ball out. You need to move the game quickly, and that is one of my qualities as well.”
Jan Vertonghen outlines what he feels is his best position for Andre Villas-Boas

Morning lads. Apologies to non WCers. I have Jenkinson and he’s risen 0.2 and will probably rise again on Friday.
If Arsenal get a CS (very possible) Vs SOT, we can probably expect another rise for Jenkinson before Arsenal’s two tough fixtures.
So, my question is ; bank the 0.1 profit now or hopefully bank 0.2 next week plus hopefully get his clean sheet (but waste a valuable transfer)?
Thanks.

Been playing this game since 2006 but the idea of having team ‘cover’ is new to me.
If Arsenal were playing well I’d want to have Cazorla AND Podolski in my team but the popular advice on here would be to swap out Pod as I already have Arsenal attacking cover. Advice seems to be to go for Barbatov in place of Pod for example but I’m looking at it and thinking Pod will score more goals than Berba….will he not?

Ciarin Clark a good swap for Fabio? Anyone have any idea if he will retain his places in the coming weeks?

Probably been mentioned but Stoke have kept a clean sheet against Arsenal!
Please can this be updated?!

Gorkss is Reading’s vice captain, a goal threat at corners, and comes at 3.9 only because of Reading’s blank gameweeks. Why isn’t he on everyones bargain-list?

As a WBA fan – Popov won’t challenge Ridgewell for his spot… While Goran has experience, he is new to the country and there’s nothing to suggest a swap between the two at all.
