      I'm going with Drogba basically because he *likes* playing against Arsenal. Scores for fun, usually.

    If you have Drogba as one of your forwards, and decided that you were going to play 2 cheaper forwards and stick more of your cash into midfield, which 2 cheap forwards would you pick?

    e.g. Odemwingie, Carroll, Jones, Dembele etc

    Or anyone else?

      I currently have Carroll and Odemwingie because they rotate home games well (so I can play 3-5-2 most weeks), but I'm not completely convinced by either of them yet.

      That's not shocking. V similar to mine and I'm happy. I'm not expecting a huge score but enough to preserve my lead in my leagues and at not lose ground. I want 2 trfrs for the next gw so am unchanged this week. Arshavin is the obvious worry this week. 9.8 is a lot of cash for a player unlikely to get more than 2points but the 2nd trfr is more important IMO

          Arsh to fabs definitely. Arsh was brought in for arsenal coverage and as a financial placeholder for fabs. Keeping bale though. Might spend my second actually doing something to my defence. Haven't touched it all season.

          Very much doubt he'll play, Wilkinson is the only defensive doubt for Stoke I think. I'm just going to play Foley and hope their game at Wigan is a boring 0-0, and Samba bags a goal at Stoke!

        Why? There's 4 from that bunch I'd be happy to play. If you have a cheapie defence, don't expect much more than 10 from 3 of them each week. One cleanie and two 2-pointers will do. Maybe the odd assist or goal (see Knight and Jara last week). With a cheap defence you expect your main returns from the front 7

          True, I just don't see any clean sheets in there except possibly Wigan v Wolves but Wigan are the more likely to win if any. My front 7 currently are Malouda, Nani, Gerrard, Barton, Dempsey, Drogba & Tevez. Pretty bog standard but plenty of points in there I hope!

      They both have awesome fixture lineups in the next 8 GW's. Toure is looking there abouts in terms of Fantasy returns while Parker will be required for alot of the Hammers midfield drive and returns. Toure would be the more popular choice but there's more reason to opt for Parker.

      It should break you even this GW, if not make you points. Only question is, which is better in the long run? From memory B'ham's fixtures stiffen considerably while Man City have come crackers coming up as do 'Pool. I'd pull the trigger.

      I hate having AJ in my squad. Who do I start this round: him or Arshavin? I guess Arshavin will just get 2 points, and when AJ comes on from the bench he gets 1. That's a one point difference. And I think AJ from the bench has better point scoring potential this round than a starting Arshavin. Or?

      I had a dream that Liverpool beat Blackpool 6-0. I'm struggling to remember to goalscorers though :s
      Gerrard(C) could big a big hit or big fail. Drogba(C) standard option. Tevez(C) seems good looking at stats. Decisions decisions
