Just a quick reminder to those competing in the Paddy Power Cup V – Round of 16 that the Quarter-Finals will take place over Gameweek 21, and not Gameweek 20, the deadline for which is tomorrow.

The Last 16 results will be published later in the week, along with the all-important Quarter-Final fixtures.

    5 injury doubts, one freebie, and 0.9 in the bank, need words of wisdom

    Vorm
    Enrique | Kompany | Brown (Inj?)
    Drenthe (Inj?) | Nani | Bale | Mata
    Adebayor (C) | Sturridge (Inj?) | RVP

    Ruddy, Brunt(Inj?), Simpson, Evans(Inj?)

    at the moment thinking
    Brown, Brunt OUT -> BAE, Moses IN (4 point hit)

        Well my honset opinion(Arsenal fan tho), is that Bale is just decent, since say last season, he had his moments, but still Walcott just was better in any stat, he got the hype from few great apps, wich were exceptional but rare. Ade is just wasting as much as suarez, but just got lucky too much. VDV is really solid star. My only concern is them rotation, wich is unfaimilar with me. Is Bale playing behind the striker or winger when VDV is in or what's the case? Why did VDV score last game overall?

    I think I know what the sensible option is but the gambler in me thinks otherwise...

    A) Evans -> BAE, Ramsey -> Osman (-4)
    B) Evans -> Walker, Ramsey -> Drenthe (-4)
    C) Evans -> BAE, Ramsey -> Drenthe, Naylor -> Hibbert (-8)

    or even just Hibbert and Osman. or a leftfield, ultra differential signing of Sandro...

    I have Nani and Vermaelen, and am thinking of replacing one of them with either Walker or Van der Vaart for the double.

    I already have Bale and Adebayor. The tricky part is that I have 0 in the bank, and would lose 0.2 on Vermaelen, or 0.1 on Nani. Unless price changes happen, I won't be able to afford to bring them back in.

    Any advice?
