        Yeah my big players/point bringers pretty much remain the same. But i think Siggy/Nani/Walker are nice for this period.

    I have 1.3M in the bank, just enough to do Brady to Ramsey, but to do that I need to drop one of my 3 Arsenal players. So drop one of Giroud, Ozil or Koscielny or use the money on other issues like JWP, Chester or Collins?

    I'm starting a new feature

    It's called sharing the moments of the weekend gone by where my players got me points

    I'm sure you'll love it

    Firstly John Terry does the "does my ear look big in this" celebration netting me 11 tasty points with a headed second half goal at WHL
    http://images.sport.co.uk/630x350/4cc3e9dc5c42c99d580e1b4635d9e391.jpg

    The Saturday lunchtime kickoffs saw further 11 points coming my way, this time from the now-injured Robbie Brady. Standing in a pub full of west ham fans, I decided to keep my elation to myself
    http://e1.365dm.com/13/09/660x350/hull3_3011243.jpg?20130928164652

    In Saturdays late kickoff the "Welsh Messi" Aaron Ramsey showed the benefits of "getting over the ball" with this roof buster

    After waiting patiently, Monday night delivered my last significant return of the gameweek. Lukaku took advantage of Newcastle's first half sleepyness to rack up an impressive 16 points, Tim Howard chipping in with his customary assist for the season

      I agree with WR on the Michu thing - or if you're feeling punty go for Pablo Hernandez (if confirmed fit) - it'll save you 4 pts and might be just as good. But definitely no need to WC.

    I have a feeling that Mr. Set-Piece-Wayne Rooney's returns will start regressing. I'm referring to goalscoring particularly here.

    Through out the WBA game, United lacked creativity as everyone noticed and it was Rooney yet again dropping back to dish the ball around and start moves from midfield. Giroud/Lukaku/Sturridge/Soldado and now Suarez all have higher average positions and more goal involvement in teams that are NOT struggling to score goals.

    Now that Van Persie is nice and fit, I think he'll go back to his playmaking duties with preferential focus and as a consequence points will dry up relatively.

    Planning to ship him at the first sign of it despite the great fixtures.

    Thoughts?

              United arent scoring or creating even half as much as other teams though.

      I will be surprised if Rooney is not a high point scorer this season. I had him for the last few weeks and he done well for me but have switched to Suarez as I think he will outscore Rooney and has better fixtures coming up.

      Rooney is also the best route in to the Man Utd attack at the moment.

    I really hope selling Lukaku to Suarez and back to Lukaku GW 8 works out. I'll be buying Lukaku before he plays on Saturday.

    I just think Suarez v Palace is better than Luk's v City. Both are rising so money isn't too much of a problem....

    Anyone here about Zaha not being picked because he slept with Moyes' daughter.

    Carroll also a crackhead apparently.

            Why the 'this site' anyway.

              He's the prat?
              But you're the one spreading idiocy?

              He says "this website" because he probably doesn't want you to pollute a place he comes to with inanity.

          Everton game is not easy, I donk think Peller will take risk with Richars (who hasnot played in EPl for ages)

    Argh. More bad injury news regarding Brady now. Played my WC to get in RVP and turned out to be an absolute disaster and now I am ranked 700,000 after last week. Need to get a few good weeks in. What to do with this lot?

    Boruc
    Coleman Vidic Wilson
    Michu Whittingham Ben Arfa Eriksen
    RVP(c) Soldado Giroud

    Vorm Brady Collins Chester

    Thinking of swapping Chester out for another Hull def, or swapping Collins to someone. Need Ben Arfa to play!

            I'm recovering from huge fall on GW5... bit alergic for hits atm... But considering Collins -> Clyne.

            Is Collins defo out?

              nope. He played in that midwek in cup game. Maybe a random rest for him
              Maybe dropped>
              We will see it this weekend but WHU fixtures look bad, he goes for me anyway

        30 million euros I think. He reminds me very much of Nani.
