    Is it worth doing Silva-->Bale when I've got Ade as my only spurs coverage....but shipping silva out will leave me with Kompany as my only Mancity coverage..
    Thoughts??

    I might start playing 1 of Krul/Simpson every game, as they're getting CS when not expected to.

        Mate just saw your reply on the previous page - I would leave Krul and like you said you are happy with your defence - so leave it all entirely...

        what about midfield? Modric looks a good one... good for bonus points plus he looks to play more attacking nowadays...

    first goal-less GW so far, 2 clean sheets, 1 assist, 2 bonus points. after several weeks on the rise and closing in on the top of my mini league, my stubborness in not having Bale & Ba has come back and bitten me. last 6-7 weeks I have been able to counter their high scoring thru my players generally out performing them, but in such a low scoring week otherwise, not having them has really cost me.

    with this team, is there any stand-out changes to be made? 1 FT, 1.0 in the bank:

    Richards / Aguero >> RvP / Shotton

    worth a 4point hit? or worth it at all?

    note - also have Kompany

    by the dgw planning to get bale, vdv, and osman/drenth in for shelvey, valencia, and nani/silva for one hit

    if i were to dump silva and get osman I would end up with 0.0 in the bank meaning i’d need to get bale in before he rises, probably for silva or valencia

    so:

    osman or drenth?
    get rid of nani or silva?
    and bale in this week or next?

      i wouldnt go for either! - but Osman if you must

      Silva (Nani more likely to get >10 point hauls and less rotation)

      Bale - this ideally

    Will Landon Donovan be available for the dgw? If so, worth a punt?

        BBC website says he'll be available for selection but will he be added to FPL in time?

    What did Friedel do to get the Baps? I think he also got maximum 3 points a few weeks ago..

    Vorm's penalty save and 12 saves of Stockdale were not enough.
