          Still feel the balance of my team is better going into the next 2 weeks, even without Baines. 11 points from Baines would have been nice though.

    Morning all. Like most I'm planning my dgw coverage. I currently have bale and ade, but I'm pretty sure that my opponent has just signed bale, giving him bale and ade.

    So who should my other dgw transfers be, thoughts on the following please

    A. Vdv & jags (would mean losing mata)
    B. Walker
    C. BAE
    D. Walker/BAE & drenthe (would mean losing mata)

    I was set on a spurs defender but perhaps an extra spurs attacking player is the way too go.

      Id do Mata from those. Im torn between Mata and Nani.

      I dont have rvp either but if i did then the armband would be on him, i cant understand people not going with him for captain if they have him.
