    I tried to do carroll to suarez saturday, couldn't because of those fpl amateurs.
    Did it yesterday to gain value for my team and this morning everybody seems suddenly think his price won't go up for days!
    How did I forget how much I hated this game and those price protection "rules".
    Ah well, enrigue propably rises this week, so I can't take him next week.

      I did Suarez too and I wouldn't rely too much on protection. I had players who I thought were protected, change value last season so I'd say you've made a good move.

          Ivanovic was benched so if he does not play at Stoke, he isn't playing. Alex was very good to so it will likely need an injury for Luiz to get back in. I would stick with the rest except DJ. Can you afford Fletcher?

        Agree ^^^ about Bosingwa. Malouda was poor. Seemed to have forgotten how to pass, dribble, shoot and what Cashley looks like.

        Nani was ok. a usual game for him, looked lively in parts (missed a few sitters that could easily another GW have been goals) and then was absent for large parts.

        I know its early days but is anyone a little worried about Malouda?

              Alex was very good. I guess as I just expect that from Alex and not so from Torres I have got a bit over excited about the Spaniard's performance 🙂 I cannot believe there are still rumours of us selling Alex and buying another CB?!

                Yeah I know what you mean, I was delighted to see Torres gliding past Stoke players, but I was at the game and watched Alex's movement, and he was nearly always in the right place at the right time, never got beaten in the air and distributed the ball well, it's ridiculous to think we'd sell him because we couldn't bring in a better defender. When someone on here mentioned it a while ago I didnt believe it but they posted a link to a Daily Mail article in which the writer "put his mortgage" on Alex being sold. He seems like a really good journalist...

                  I hope yesterday changed all that about Alex. How were the Stoke fans yesterday? Lovely bunch. I once got punched by a fully grown Stoke fan as a 15 year old just for wearing a Chelsea shirt. Was a midweek Worthington cup game at their old Victoria ground I think. 0-0. 0 degrees. Good times.

                    Won't be going back to The Britannia anytime soon, the atmosphere was immense though, especially for the first fifteen minutes. But some of the chants Stoke were shouting were disgusting, and that banner is annoying. Stoke fans were alright on the whole but as usual a few c*nts made it in. Luckily I didn't get punched. It was a very long day but even though we didn't score it was nice to see AVB was very animated. Most of the fans were okay but the ones that weren't really WERE NOT, I suppose you can't even call them fans to be fair. Looking forward to Man U away now but that'll be another long journey.

        He was very ordinary yesterday. But certainly no worse than Kalou who was very poor. I would still expect Malouda to start because of the balance he offers but I do feel nervous about him now. Sturridge will walk into this side when he returns on current form.

        Will be very interesting to see if AVB mixes it up next week. I predict Malouda,Torres,Anelka as the front 3.

            Was strange how much game time Kalou got. I dont think anyone saw that one coming. We were all looking to Benayoun to be the surprise starter and that Drogs was nailed on.

            Wonder how many more starts he'll get.

    Quick question for anyone in the know about these things.

    Can price rises kick in anytime? Like if enough people go out and buy a player today- say Rooney (who hasnt been flagged as a doubt or anything)- then could his price change today?

    Sorry if this is a dumb question.

          Thats how I did it. Does it say in the side box on the right 'Transfers 1'?

          As if it doesnt then that person hasnt made a transfer and is possibly lying to you.

          Try some other people and if you see that they've made a transfer then it will be on there and if they've changed their subs etc... you can see that too.

          You're no where near wildcard territory, but I would think about trying to improve your defensive rotation (see below). It doesn't have to be this week...sitting on 38 points with Silva and Kompany and Sinclair still to play should put you near the top of your mini-leagues. That's no place to play your WC.

        Bosingwa: Looked good against Stoke

        Jones/Smalling/Fabio: with the injuries mounting up there is a lot of cheap options there 🙂

    H-2-H leagues: I'm sure this question has been asked before, but is there any news when the h2h leagues will be up an running? All I can get is a list of the teams in my league... no match-ups, points, fixtures etc.

    Being a competitive little soul, it's the best part of the game for me.

      You can survive 1 week without knowing your rival. It will all be revealed after the City game.

    are the bonus points worked out on this?

    http://www.premierleague.com/page/PlayerPerformanceIndex

    If they are then fabio gets two bonus points? which would seem odd

        True but those scores are clearly taking into account the performance from GW1. Either that or the premierleague is already scripted out and the players just go out and perform their duties as instructed
