Mark Chelsea ended a run of six away matches without a win by inflicting another mauling on Bolton in front of their own fans. Didier Drogba’s “worldie†strike accompanied goals from Nicolas Anelka, Ramires and Florent Malouda, as Chelsea’s forgotten attacking talent put Fantasy Managers on alert with an emphatic display.
I hate it how Drogba's 9 points last night makes my potential Drog->RVP trade with my WC so much harder to do...

6 - Darren Bent has failed to score in his last 6 PL apps v Wigan , and not been on the winning side in any of those games. Blockage.
Hope that continues, a clean sheet for Al-Habsi would be nice.
So whats the latest on Adam? Is he going to play vs ManU? I can do with some luck as my mini league rival is scoring points with non double gw players!
Eg Robbo/malouda
Ugh. Bruised shins, a twisted ankle and cold sore. That's the last time I try my hand at darts.
Stick to surfing! 😉
Is it just me who's tempted to stick with Tevez until GW27 instead of jumping ship to RVP? Tevez's next two fixtures look quite tasty.
Morning chaps, Like all i'm planning my wildcard, could I please have your thoughts on my team:-
Foster / Gomes, Begovic
Coleman, Rafeal, Bardsley, Simpson, Murphy
VDV, Nani, Fab, Malouda, Ferguson
Van Persie, Berb, Tevez
Obviously this is dependant on teams missing fixtures in GW28.
can u really afford that team?
Who is a better bet for the run in from Drogba and Malouda? They both seem to be scoring similarly. Cant aford both as need cash for other players. I love the Drog but Malouda was on fire at the start of season too and can only see that getting better once Lamps gets back so Malouda can play further forward.
Lamps will be back though taking points from Malouda.
I'm planning to get Drogs back around my WC. I like him for the run in, especially if he's coming back into decent form. Not looking to do much changes to my mids when I wildcard.
That said, I am getting a bit concerned about Van der Vaart. Since he got back from injury he hasn't been getting big scores. After GW32 they have some tough fixtures too.
after wathcing the game last night its clear that malouda is playing as a 3rd striker. My other 3 forward spots are taken by RVP, Tevez and Berb, so it has to be Malouda for me.
Malouda, Arshavin, Nasri, Dempsey, Gerrard (occasionaly), Nani (ish), Kalou, VDV, Cahill, AYoung, Walcott.
@George. I watched the 2nd half and it struck me that Didier wasn't quite attacking as he normally was, having to go quite deep to retrieve the ball. Did you see that too?
Cheers guys, even though Drog is cheap-ish now, Malouda saves much needed money for elsewhere as champs league rotation is going to demand strong bench players than can get more than 2 point minimum.
+1 I think Malouda is a great shout for the rest of the season.
In terms of value for money I think he is a better shout than Drogba. Yes Drogba may well score more points but in pure value terms a Malouda and a, say RvP, is a better proposition.
Also I think that Lampard's return is the best thing that could happen to Malouda - Lampdard becomes the default third midfielder which allows Malouda to play as the third striker - the role he scored so many points playing before Lampard got injured earlier on this season!
WC team alert!! What do you reckon to this shower...
Foster/Kingson
Rafael M.Kelly Djourou (Coleman R.Johnson)
Fabregas Nani VdV Adam (Ferguson)
Rooney Tevez RvP
Managed to get 3 Brum players in ready for GW27!
If A*se and Brum both get to the Carling Cup final, then you'll be missing 3 Birmingham players, Djourou, Fabregas, VDV and RVP. Whooopsie!
DJ Campbell owners your man is fit for the game tonight so you won't be getting anyone off your benches.
"If he shines tonight Manchester United might want him"
Ian Holloway on Charlie Adam
"If I tried to stop him playing United, he would probably kill me"
What do you blokes reckon of this motley crew?
Robinson
Coleman Kelly Simpson
VDV Fab Adam Nani
Tevez RVP Berbatov
Bench: Al Habsi, Brunt, Hughes, Murphy
I know the defence is shite but any thoughts?
Monitor the Hughes injury. It's a hammy not sure how serious
Anyone know whether Hughes is likely to be playing against Liverpool on Wed?
who to captain for gw 25? right now mines van persie
Blckpool are 7/1 to beat man u tonight with the draw at 4/1. That's craziness. Also Bebe is 7/4 anytime goalscorer. The same odds as Nani!
bookies will always offer those odds for a striker, if they went higher and he started theyd be screwed
Sold madlouda for zogbia this week
rather annoying 🙠...so far
Do we have to guess what it is?
M&M's? Pork pie? A ferrari? helicopter lessons? A butt-plug? Fabregas for your FPL team?
mmmmm butt plug!
Kingson Foster
Vidic Hangeland Skrtel Bardsley Simpson
Nani VdV Nasri Adam Cleverley
Berbatov RVP Torres
0.8 in the bank.
One week punt suggestions?!
Any Everton fans considering Bily for their nice run of fixtures?
No - but I'm looking at Osman - just to wind up Andy ... 🙂
Not quite an Everton fan, but yes.
Although only for a one week punt in week 26. Will wildcard after that....
what are we doing with our teams this week JP? How does N'Zogbia OUT Brunt IN catch ya?
OK just trying to get my head around this.
If Arsenal beat Ipswich and Brum beat West Haaaam, Arsenal and Brum will have their games in GW28 postponed?
Brum have Chelsea and Arse have Spurs so would this make Spurs not feature and Chelsea's DGW become a single GW vs Man U?
I think you've got it! 🙂
This is true. Annoying as Arsenal have a DGW in GW27 and Birmingham have a potential triple GW, meaning you can't really overload on their players if you want to field 11 the following the week!
Yeah that's very true.
It'll make some interesting decisions for sure.
Yup, i already have 3 arsenal players, vdv and a brum defender. Hopefully West Ham go through!
+ 1
Ipswich also take a 1-0 lead vs Arsenal... West Ham vs Ipswich final would make life easier.
Jesus!! I wish I knew this before I WC'd!
I am suddenly having terrible reservations over not having Fabregas. Already used WC too... Nasri>Fab has to be shoehorned in somehow
Don't worry too much, he's not been "amazing" so far. Good, but not amazing.
Id rather have Nasri and RVP than Fabs and a 7 mil striker. Nasri has been unlucky not to score big in the last few weeks imo
He could have got 20 points Saturday no problem with a bit of better finishing from his team mates and bar a couple of wonder saves.
He was amazing.
When is the best time to bring in RVP for Berbatov? After this game week? Gameweek 27?
So going back to the GW28 scenario... it'll be better for us if West Ham reach the final, leaving Brum's TGW much more valuable.
yeah WHU and ipswich final please
Assuming Rafael is back in contention for Man U, who is the better sub for gameweek 25, Coleman (away to Arsenal) or Bardsley (home to Chelsea)?
Coleman due to OOP
I'm not too worried about GW 28 as GW 27 is gonna bring so many points that the points lost in gw 28 should'nt matter too much.
I'm still keeping 3 arsenal 1 brum and VdV for sure
So a dgw, with players rested for the CC Final in the second, then no game the week after, is better than two games from another team playing two good fixtues?! Everton have a double, then a good fixture for example. Coleman, Cahill, Arteta anyone?
"A centre-half who can also play at right or left-back, Luiz is valued by Portuguese side Benfica at £25.5m. "
Re David Luiz, was going to go for Bosingwa on WC next week but not sure if Luiz goes to Chelsea, Ivan/Luiz/Bosingwa/Ferreira will all be able to play RB.
Back to the WC drawing board
I know, I know tell me about that.
Anyone catch Cesc's late tweets yesterday?
He was happy Drogba scored, because he has him in his fantasy team. Does anybody in here know of other PL-footballers playing FPL? A link to their teams would also be very much appreciated 🙂
he keeps assisting cause he doesnt have himself
I'm playing my wildcard at the moment and am really tempted to double up on two Arsenal midfielders who, in my opinion, offer great value.
My question is, will Nasri and Walcott remain Wenger's preferred starters or is there a significent risk Arashvin will oust Walcott from the starting 11?
What does everybody think?
Quick question iv had few dif answres, if you have a 2 transfers and only use 1, does the other transfer carry over and you get 2 frees the following week?
Looks like Adam might play tonight. I need a good perfomance from Charlie, my mini-league opponent played Malouda last night.
My mate not hasn't checked his TFO team in months, I check and re-check every single week. He's 3 points behind me..
Add that to the "Luck is over 70% of this game" pile!
il second that, guy is 1st in my mini league (200 for the winner) has only made 4 transfers all year and hasnt changed his starting line up since GW8
Ouch, that would wreck my buzz and bake my noodle!
Same thing here. Guy in the lead of mine hasn't changed his team since about GW10 and has about a 50 point lead. Captain has been left on Berba and he always, ALWAYS gets ridiculous points comnig off his bench.
Last week for example, he had Nolan and Ivanovic coming off the bench. Some 27 extra points. Sickening!
*my mate notty
This season more han others imo.
Like the %50 of people who kept Bale despite him getting 2,2,2,2,2,2,2 then 15 and giving me a red arrow
