      Change captain for this week only. Chances are Chamakh will be starting for RVP this week.

        RVP rested most of the international break and he can rest in the Carling Cup midweek... I don't believe one thing you're saying Needle.

      Easy choice. If I owned an attacking Chelsea player, I would captain them without question this weekend. At least you know Lampard will be a guaranteed starter.

        Lampard is at risk if AVB decides to do the right thing and bench him.... I doubt it though.

        Mata needs to be utilized through the middle and Lampard needs to take a bow.

    Vorm / (Hennessey)
    Kompany / Baines / Enrique / (Gabbidon) / (Simpson)
    Ramsey / Walters (vc) / Ramires / Silva / (Dyer)
    Adebayor / Suarez / RVP (c)

    Pretty much set with this lot. RVP gets the nod for the Captaincy obviously. Have I got it right by giving Walters the Vice, in case of an RVP no-show? Slightly tempted by Ramires, but you can't ignore Walters, especially at the Brittania.

    Suarez, Adebayor, Agbonlahor

    I've got 1 mil in the bank and 2 transfers... willing to use any/all of it.
    Seriously considering getting rid of Suarez. Also considering ditching Barry for Bale, and then putting him out in favour of a striker, maybe.
    Anybody?

    Vorm (Given)
    Woodgate, Jones, Enrique
    Dyer ,Ramsey, VDV ,Silva
    Ade, RVP (C), Suarez
    Subs: Moses, Ward, Simpson

    Really not happy with defence ATM. Have 0.7 mil and 1 FT
    Intiail thoughts were VDV > Bale,as my closest rival (by 2 pts ) WC last week and has Bale) Will also free up funds.

    Also thinking :
    Woodgate > Brown
    Ward > Assou-Ekotto
    Given > Westwood
    Moses> Walters
    Suarez > Sturridge/any Man City striker
    Any of these worth a 4 point hit?

    Many thanks in advance
