    Mull and I are going for the lowest scoring tussle in the FFS cup on record. His 15 to my 19.

    On paper I have the edge tonight

    Me - Rooney (c), Valencia, Evans
    Him - Rooney, Valencia, Evans, Dempsey

        I'm just putting this week down to one of those weeks. Luckily my rivals and Mull are also having a mare. Still really happy with my team. Really happy to see the back of Silva for Valencia and Fletcher for Odemwingie. For the first time in ages I don't want to make any changes, which sounds kinda weird on the back of such a terrible week.

        The Rooney captaincy gives me some lovely hope though. I'm hoping he rips through Fulham like Sweeny Todd at an operatic barbers' convention.

    Ming, Krul
    Skrtel , Simpson, N.Taylor, Kompany, Evans
    Bale, Dempsy, Mclean, Siggy ,Valencia
    Rooney, RVP , Ba

    Am thinking Skrtel > Verm and Ba > Ade leaving me with 0.5m free, only other player im tempted by is walcott but cant see him being much better option than my big three in mid over next few weeks, thoughts?

    At the start of the season BP's seemed to make sense (boringly), but there's been more and more oddities as the season's worn on. Taiwo? What a bugger - wipes out my CS and gets 3 BP's for a consolation goal?

    Guys I’m struggling with deciding on my 2 FT this week, got £2.2m in the bank with the following team:-

    Krul, Migs,
    Skrtel, Evans, Cahill, Simpson, Kelly
    Bale, Young, Demps, McClean, Siggy
    Ba, RVP, Rooney.

    I’m thinking of getting rid of Ba & Skrtel, can’t decide if I should go for

    1. Verm
    2. Walker.
    3. BAE

    As for Ba I’m thinking a swap for Ade.

I really want to crowbar walcott in as think he'll run riot against taiwo (3 bonus pts are a joke), but only way would be to do Sess > Walcott and Skrtel > £4.7m def.....-4pts.

    Got 2 FT`s.

    R.Taylor -> Akotto/Walker
    Suarez -> Adebayor

    Is Akotto worth the extra 0.2 over Walker?

    Walker was man of the match against Chelsea. Also, he is a differential..

    Also, consider that Spurs play twice in 2 days. The 7th of april sun and the 9th of april NOR.

    Early on in the season when Spurs were still in the Europa League the only regular in the 1st team who played regularly in the PL who also played regularly in the EL was Walker.. so I feel he is less of a rotation risk than BAE.

      Actually I thought Ade had a brilliant game, he made a couple of bad decisions that made the highlights reels but his overall hold up play and tackling were excellent, for me he was the best player on the pitch, though that's not to say it's the kind of performance that translates to FPL points.

      He's been poor for a while now - FPL wise.

      Besides that penalty against Arsenal, he has had 1 good game since Christmas.

      BAE and Taiwo on the bench -> 17 points

      Caulker, McAuley, Enrique playing -> 3 points

      I feel really sick!

        lol, it does my head in. My starting 11 always seem to play. I rarely have a sub that comes in let alone one with decent points..everyone in my league seems to spawn it every week..
