    Sorry for the re-post.

    Thinking long term should I swap Lennon for Yaya Toure and save some cash or get Dirk Kuyt?

    It seems that with 1083 entrants on that list (not including entrants after 11pm Friday), even qualifying for the cup is going to be a challenge

    Good luck to all!

      Looks like we already have enough for an extra round then.
      1024 gives us 9 rounds instead of the 8 from 512.

      (not that I'm not confident of making it or anything....)

      I think he probably will, but it's pretty uncertain for this week and very doubtful for next with Richards, Boateng and Lescott in contention, I believe.

      Worst possible round to start the cup in, an 8pt hit with Richards playing seeming unlikely.

        I see, I still don't have Nani so a decent score from him = no 2nd round for me.

          Fingers crossed for you then, Nani has to have a quiet few at some stage, maybe this could be it. Although having grabbed some form of points in his last 5 and United scoring 2 goals+ a game every game so far it would seem unlikely.

        True, but I'm just thinking about the Diggler as a differential pick. Liverpool should bang in a goal or two, and he's picking a few up these days.

        This will be an 11.29 choice I think...

      1/5 people on the Captain Poll have gone for Gerrard, he's the second most popular pick. So it's far from a risk and certainly not a differential.

              The problem you've got is that Carroll, Foster, Shawcross, Knight, Clichy and Ferguson will probably all get low totals this week..

              1 clean sheet and maybe 2 goals

      Hes not a rotation risk.

      I cant see Ferguson playing Park and Giggs on the wings.

      The only chance of him being rested is probably in a 433 with Rooney on the wing.

      When Valencia is back it may be a factor but at the moment and for a few months (Bar injury) he is a must have. I don't know when Valencia is back. Nani is there best player at the moment so I doubt he will be rested.

    Good Morning all
    This is my 1st season play Fpl (apart from the sun,s league) and everyone seem to be against making large number or subs and taking the points hit. I played my WC in week 2 then had a good week then the following week I had a bad one so I took a 16 pt hit and it to me was worth it as I had a good following week! Then last week was a mare but most people had there worst week then. I took a 20 pt hit for this week! So I exspect and hope for a good return. Now looking at out FFScout league the team in 6th (Newcastle Utd) whome is overall 96th and so far has 411 points has done 6 subs too. Now is he out to win or what?

    Thanks for taking the time to read

      Too many transfers, way too many transfers. Look at your ranking and mine, and look at the amount of transfers I have made. Don't knee jerk after a bad week. I want Tevez this week but I doubt he will score 8 points more than the players I transfer out. Think. Long Term.
