    Vorm
    Enrique, Jones, Raylor
    Silva, Nani, Walters, Bale
    RVP, Adebayor, Ba

    Ruddy, Gabbidion, ShawX, Ferguson

    If this was your team what would you do with 1 FT, 1.5 in the bank...

    I'm tired of waiting for Baines to perform, I'm thinking of:
    Baines to Richards
    Dyer to Drenthe
    Any thoughts much appreciated

      Wait on Bale injury news - probably would prefer the latter..

    Repost- Please can you advise me on which of these teams looks better please

    Vorm – Krul
    Enrique – Shotton – ? – ? – ?
    Silva – Bale – Walters – B.Johnson – ?
    RVP – Sturridge – Rooney

    A) Jones, Caulker, Gabbidon, Nani
    B) JEvans, Assou Ekotto, Brown, Nani

    Which one of these combinations looks best to fill the place in which the question marks lie?

      I prefer A, Jones has a better goal threat than Evans IMO

      How about B but with a swansea def in place of Brown?

    How ironic, all those captain choices. The agonising, the last minute change of mind. Ba,RVP, Ade or Granni.

    At least we cant think if only!!!!!

      Well the bookies were high on Rooney so if you had him- he was probably the first choice?
      That is what I did at least.

    Hello guys, tell me I'm overanalyzing!

    a)
    gw17 ba => sturridge
    gw18 brown => evans
    gw20 evans => hibbert

    b)
    gw17 -
    gw18 ba + brown => sturridge + evans
    No money to get hibbert (or any other eve defender) for doublegw.....

    I suppose a is the way to go, but hate look how sturridges value is rising propably 0.2 before I can get him!

      B.Johnson has been on the bench the last two game. If you need a sub 4.5mill bench warmer then look at Gower or Tiote.

    If you could keep Adebayor and RVP and still get Rooney in but it involved dropping Nani for a 4 point hit would you go for it?

      Nope - to be honest I think Adebayor is the loser out of those players right now - it's only the DGW and hope for a burst from him that keeps him in my team
