Hats and scarves on folks, we’ve one last roll of the dice in gameweek fourteen as Sunderland play host to Everton this evening.

This morning’s paper reports proved to be correct as Asamoah Gyan sits out with leg injury allowing Darren Bent to return to the team. Anton Ferdinand comes in for Sunderland’s rock – no joke – Titus Bramble, presumably having picked up a knock too. Everton are unchanged. Full teams follow…

Sunderland XI: Gordon; Onuoha, Turner, Ferdinand, Bardsley; Richardson, Henderson, Cattermole, Zenden; Bent, Welbeck

Everton XI: Howard; Neville, Jagielka, Distin, Baines; Coleman, Arteta, Heitinga, Pienaar; Cahill; Saha

    Intersting Captain Poll so far....I have all the top 4. It feels wrong not to captain Drogba, he's gotta come good one week soon and with a battered Newcastle licking their wounds this week could be the week!

    Hi Folks,

    Have 2 transfers this weekend

    Mignolet Carson
    Cole Coleman Dann Williamson Huth
    Nolan Fabregas Nani Adam Bale
    Carroll Tevez Torres

    Going to do Torres -> Elmander

    For other transfer thinking either

    Bale -> VDV
    or
    Nolan -> VDV

    Do people think it's a bad move having both Bale/VDV in the same team ?

    Cheers

        I would have benched Foster and Dann still, no doubt. The only thing I would have changed was Elmander as captain, and even with that being said, at half time in the Arsenal game I was quite happy with my Fabregas choice as captain.

      Who said that the people with Nani, Malouda and Jara actually think that those players deserved anything?

      And did you read the article earlier about Malouda? You know the one that basically said he was amazing against Birmingham, and created more chances than any other player has created in a single PL game all season? So, yeah.

      Your point is a terrible one. I feel robbed by both the Nani and Arteta BPs.

        OK not sure what you are trying to say (does Malouda deserve them or not?), but we all know Wellbeck derserves the 3bps, and then it was really between Cahill, Arteta, Distin and Zenden for the remaining 3bps.

          In the first paragraph I'm saying that the BP's that Nani, Malouda and Jara got mean shit when it comes to complaining about Arteta tonight.

          Then I argue the case that Malouda possibly did deserve BPs (I didn't watch the match, so I don't truly know).

          Then I have a go at your retarded point.

          The point i think that is trying to be made is that this decision is no worse than any of the seemingly random choices every week - it shouldn't really come as a surprise to anyone anymore, but we still have to go through the motions every week.

          Everyone knows who the bonus darlings are and instead of moaning about it every week maybe people should just take it into account when making transfers.

          I honestly think the only people they piss off are those that take this too seriously (not entirely excluding myself from that collective).

          I've never heard any of my workmates moan about them for example. And in theory i think they do have merit, you can reward someone who creates lots of goals but doesn't have an assist or goal to their name for example.

          They are flawed of course but i think it keeps things interesting personally.

    2) Rooney
    3) Torres
    4) Arteta
    5) Cahill
    6) Elmander
    7) Davies
    8) Kuyt

    Please help! Also should I keep Elmohamdy? This guy or should I say the manager is getting on my nerves.
