Two of the most popular Fantasy midfielders also feature, while the impact of a new Baggies star and Southampton’s resilience at the back also feature in the first of this week’s articles for our members.

      1) tactical

      2) Pardew said at the start of the season he was going to manage Ben Arfa's minutes to try and keep him healthy; THUS, when Ben Arfa is having an off day, I expect him to be pulled off the pitch early, and yesterday was an off day

            I actually don't. All comes down to how precious it is. My big players all remain the same but a wc would be freedom of sorts.

          your ManU fandom is coloring your judgment badly

          print out a picture of Nani and put it on your wall, not on your team

            I like my punts HoH. I judge seeing the game. And i got a feeling about this one.

              fair enough LR

              Chelsea point stands - think you might find someone in that game worth having for a hit or a WC

          History tells us not to argue with your obscure punts. I just think that you're bringing in an extra Soton too late - and you already have one of them so you're covered, Dawson's a risk, Barfa may still play so doesn't need to go right now (although he can be removed for free later). On the whole you can get a competitive (if not the absolute best) team with a -8 - so it really depends on how much you're valuing the WC. If you want Nani then probably do the Barfa transfer a week later.

      Soldado didn't have a good game against Chelsea, and got lucky with the assist. Ship for Sturridge IMO.
