    C'mon people, advice appreciated, what youthink?

    My team for this GW:

    Begovic
    Huth Luiz Terry Hangeland
    Lampard Dempsey A Young
    RVP Carroll Sturridge

    My bench is so strong it worries me: Nani Adam Baines

    What do you think? Am I crazy to leave any of those three out?

      Baines is super hot at the moment .. and as you know all have the potential to score big. My opinion only though I would bench Terry for Baines .. a risk for sure .. but ..

        You mean fortunate to get 2 penalties in two weeks?

        Big Risk? It's nuts.

      Play Nani over A.Young. Nani has got a goal, assist, or bonus in every home match he has played in apart from the opening game of the season. a.young can blow hot and cold. [then again, Fergie might play Valencia and bench Nani... good old fantasy conundrums eh!]

    Welbeck / Rooney / RVP

    Subs: Nani / Coleman / Simpson

    I don't like having Nani on the bench but I don't know who else to put on there. Adam would be the other option.

    I'm thinking of transferring Welbeck out for either Sturridge or Zamora. Is it worth it, or save 2 transfers for next week?

      ethers with a doublw should bring a minimum of 8 points vdv could come up with 2 = 4 and that would kill me....ethers safer option and likely to come up with one assist between the two = 14 minimum

          I brought him in, long-term he is still a better option than sturridge or zamora

        Here is my team lads:

        Begovic,
        Hangeland, Huth, Luiz
        Adam, Malouda, A.Young, Nani
        RVP (C), Drogba, Caroll

        Foster, Nasri, Smalling, Coleman

        Six of the front seven playing at home. Nasri and Smalling good reserves. Smalling may only get 15 mins as sub for Rio.

        Not feeling Dempsey love

        Good luck to all.
