        Me too. Plus I had Carroll instead of Rooney at first to have enough money in the bank to be able to react to form players andbe able to buy anyone in GW2.

      Sess - plays in supporting role and should start to score one or two.
      Young or Nani - Don't have a clue, both are still rotation risks and both could easily score well.
      Odemwingie - Easily the better player, Long is a player for next season possibly.

      If you went of the Stoke game you'd have to go for Torres, but with him more of a rotation risk than Malouda along with Malouda being strongest at home it's a tough one.

      Malouda probably just gets it as there are a greater wealth of players upfront to choose from in the cheap to mid range.
