With the international casualties totting up at an alarming rate and the Champions League a serious rotation concern for the forthcoming gameweek, we’ve taken the step to start piping in the weekend team news nice and early.

You’ll find the latest collection of fact and speculation collated for you in our Team News section. We will endeavour to keep this ticking over, fed by the fresh stuff delivered via our Twitter feed, before every team gets a full overhaul when Friday’s pre-match press conferences deliver their wisdom.

        Swap the top scoring midfielder for one fluked goal and two assists? When Fabs is on song he is no doubt the best but I want to see him at least halfway back b4 I use my fab-bank money on him.

  It depends on how you want to play it really.
  
  Some people with Gerrard might just get Fabs in now, others are waiting for GW10 to do it.
  
  I'm weighing up just getting him in now as Gerrard probably won't outscore Fabregas over the next 2 weeks anyway, and by week 10 Fabs will probably be £12m again.

    Have fun, I went with the school a few years back for four days, it was as funny as you like, good experience. And surely you will find a computer somewhere even if you have to pay like 10 cent for every minute you are on it. Is what I did in Austria, I spent about three Euro's in the end, took so long to open up each page, that and the fact I had to talk to my parents on msn.

        Still think your back 7 are a bit weak, but your front 8 are sounds certainly IMO. Going to be a hell of a lot of teams with a similar front 8.

    Be careful with Mignolet as Gordon is back now and one bad game could see Craig back in goal for Sunderland. I'd only have a £4m keeper as an emergency back up to someone like Hart or Cech, not as a rotater with a £4.5m keeper.
    
    I quite like that front line, but I'd probably want some Chelsea and/or Man City representation in defence. Personally, with that midfield and strike force, I'd be inclined to downgrade Van der Vaart and get Cashley in.
    
    If funds are tight maybe Odemwingie for Carroll as well. That way you can get Barton instead of VdV who is great value a £4.7m and still helps you take advantage of Newcastle's good run of fixtures.

I am going to do one of the following for a 4pt hit, would love some help deciding (important for me to do well this gameweek):

1. Larsson -> Nasri or Walcott (would like to double up on arsenal)
2. Larsson -> Arteta
3. Larsson -> other 5.5-6m mid
4. Dembele -> Chamakh
5. Malouda -> Fabs (if not now, then getting for GW10)

3.3 M in bank.

If I do not lose Larsson, I will most likely have to play him due to injuries, which kind of sucks.

        Look, if you really want Chamakh then nothing I or anyone else on here says is going to make the blindest bit of difference as you will just get him anyway.
        
        Personally, I think Fabregas is plenty enough Arsenal coverage. Arteta will serve you much better than Chamakh over the course of the seaso.
        
        But, hey, if Chamakh's your man then go for it.

      You may well be jesting, but i think you need to be very careful about what you say, Hattrick.
      
      Some things shouldn't be mentioned even in jest, and definitely not on a public forum.

        Hey, I'm chilled Hat-trick. But people can trace your IP address and in the kind of world we live in all it takes is someone to read a comment like that and next thing you know police are hacking into your PC to see if you really are a paedo.
        
        Plus, you never know if someone on here has been a victim of child abuse themselves. The odds are, sadly, quite high that there will be. Its probably not the kind of thing they would find amusing.

  GK-same advice I gave Somalion.
  
  DEF-Just keep an eye on Williamson in the near future. I have him too but may need to ship him out when soe of the regulars return.
  
  MF-Albrighton is carrying an injury. I also think Adam is better value than VDV as gives you more money to spend on defence and GK.
  
  The front 3 is one I'd love to have for the next 4 or so weeks. Tasty stuff indeed!

  Doh... Just pulled out the internet connection so I could download some TV stuff... I've got your PSN written down somewhere - leww86.. I'll add you tomorrow morning or something like that. Too busy guiding Lincoln to world domination at the moment.
  
  Although I just got knocked out of the JPT. Attila was right, I really should have practised penalties! I didn't score one! Not a clue what was going on!

    Haha, ok no worries. I probably should get some practice in anyway.
    
    I find it a lot different playing online, you have to press 'x' a lot sooner to time passing?

  Coleman. An out of position player. Who owing to injuries in the squad, will see him being played for a few games at least.

Jus played a 'replica' game of arsenal vs bham on FIFA 11. I was arsenal and won 4-0
fabs - 1 goal, 1 assist 3 bonus
chamakh - 2 goals, 1 assist 2 bonus
nasri - 1 goal, assist 1 bonus.
I love how at the end of the match it tells u players ratings and man of the match, and passes completed, crosses completed, dribbles completed, tackles one etc. Very good feature and very pro fantasy football 🙂

I have 3 injured defenders. Alex is the first one (I had him since gw2). Whom should I replace with?
O'Shea jumps to my mind but are there any other better one with less than 6 m?

  Keep Alex. Looks like he'll only be injured for the one game.
