    Don't you just love the build up to FF weekend. The captain choice is always an exciting dilemma.

      I'm benching Evans this week. Come to think of it I haven't got points for Evans once yet this season. Keep benching him and he gets points.

      So maybe you should play him.

    I see the Aguero vs Dzeko talk has started again. Dzeko is cheaper but is less likely to give you high returns in the home games (which is why we are all getting a City attacker in) Aguero is on pens with Mario out and is nailed on

    They have a very similar ppg but if you consider Aguero at home (especially against the lower teams) to me it's a no brainer, even for the extra 3.1.

      In a similar position (although I'd have to downgrade Walters to afford it). It's a tough one, Fletcher scores well away from home and QPR's defence isn't great but he doesn't hit too many braces or hattricks. Whereas Ba may not start and may not hit the ground running but he's more likely to hit big returns

      RVP is the only class player in the Arsenal team at the moment. Service to him has been very poor and Arteta and Ramsay have not made up for Cesc's departure. Walcott and Ox need to provide better deliveries into the box. Saying that, RVP will always get a few chances in a game, even if has to make them on his own. Kind of feel sorry for RVP as he is having to pick up the burden of scoring most of Arsenal's goals because the rest of the team is so mediocre.

      Lose both Keepers, bad fixtures and bad rotation.

      I'm playing McLean over Dempsey if that helps.

    A) Sess & Walters > Mclean & Valencia
    B) Walters & Fletch > Siggy & Ba/Zamora

    Both wouldn't cost a hit. Walters has very nice fixtures but not feeling too excited about him.

    Or neither?

    Has Lawro ever actually put his balls on the line and predicted a winner in any matches between the top 4? I swear I've only ever seen 1-1 draws. Guess what his predictions are for this w/e:

    Chelsea 1-1 Utd

    Liverpool 1-1 Spurs

    What a surprise

      Hec, do you happen to have any City defenders? If not, I'd gamble Dempsey (who's going to be playing up-front)
