    First thing in the morning I'm phoning up to complain about the Sky Sports channels. Especially on Sky Sports News they keep spending a hell of a lot of time talking about the non sport bag-a-shite that is WWE. I want some kind of discount seeing as they sports channels aren't dedicated to sports lately. Do you think I have a case?

      You should get a discount cus its waaaay overpriced, esp as it means buying sky as well...was £40 when i had it a few years ago for the basic sky package and sports, when i only want the sports

      And now they dont even have all the games, i mean there arent really any other sports or competitions than the english football leagues that i would pay much to watch

      Firstly, plan your team with three transfers for the dgw, and contingency options in case of injury etc

      See which transfers you will definitely want to do based on what you can afford

      Then swap the guy out who looks worst for this week, probably nolan, for the guy you will replace him with in order to do the transfers you want next week

      Without looking too deep into your team, my suggestion would be to sell nolan for mutch, allowing a big upgrade of ki next week whilst benching mutch

    So Villa without Agbon and Bentekker, Fulham might manage to get something there..

    And, Newcastle without Remy or Sissoko, cant really see them scoring any against United.

    Thoughts?

      Keep looking at Vidic...That could be a handsome fixture and then bench for this DGW and ready for their nice run of home games and DGW37.

        How about Mariappa? Not that nailed?

        havent been following CPL much so dont know about their preferred back line.

        He plays RB so should give attacking points no?

      Same here. Last DGW proved that every single player in DGW produces points.

      Following the same logic and filling in golden players.
