Floated this earlier but can't remember where it was. Anyway, who in your view is the worst Number 10 fr one of the big clubs in recent years?
My candidates would have to be
Joe Cole (chelsea)
Robinho (citeh)
Gallas (arsenal)
Dzeko (citeh)
Joe Cole (liverpool)Open Controls -
Sorry, lost this post a while back ... Okay, so if you were contemplating a wildcard, only contemplating (partly out of boredom, partly out of panic) what would you think of this little lot ...
Migs, Jussy
Verm, Vidic, Hughes, Williams, Clyne
Santi Corzola, Michu, Ben Arfa, Noble, Kac
Tevez, Graham, Van Persie
I'm assuming RVP will be decent ...
I'm probably doing this for therapy and will stick with my underachievers a bit longer but wondered who you would pick if you had to play a WC?Open Controls-
I'm surprised you have Graham

Nice one McClean!
Open Controls-
That was a joke decision. No way he deserved the 3!
Open Controls-
wasn't watching that game too closely, so who in your unbiased 😉 view did deserve it then?
Open Controls-
I thought Santi was the best player on the pitch, but he had too many shots off target. Nobody really stood out, but Migs/Cuellar played well, as did Clattermole.
Based purely on actual performance, I would have probably gone:
Santi 3
Migs 2
Cattermole 1Open Controls-
Also, on the topic of BS, Dyer 3 Michu 2 ? pls explain

Yes, yes they are. And I got zero. I hope you did better than me! With that, I'm off to bed

No players for me in tonight's game. A Rooney red would be pretty sweet though....
Open Controls -
i am looking to offload one of Cole or Terry, thoughts on which one??
Open Controls -
VDV owners what are you doing with him?
My own thinking is AVB is a tool. Also, it could have been that he decided to play a more energetic midfield to pressure Newcastle on the ball and VDV didn't fit the bill. So hopefully with the impetus on Spurs to do most of the attacking at home VDV will get his place back, with West Brom on the back foot and countering for most of it. Possibly wishful thinking on my part but i'll give him one more week before any decision.Open Controls-
I'm captaining him. Yes I'm serious. Now really I'm off to bed
Open Controls -
im just thinking to ask the same question....wheter to give him one more chance this week or transfer out and get siggurdson instead...
Open Controls -
I was planning on switching carzola (one week punt) for either VDV or Siggie. If VDV was going to start, I would go for him. I think VDV came on for siggie. If VDV plays, might siggie miss out? Not sure what to do now!! Any ideas?
Is it worth keeping carzola (terrible fixtures)? Or should i keep the transfer and use it to get rid of torres, to avoid the price drop (I would probably buy him back if chelsea don't buy a striker)Open Controls-
i will atleast give a player 2-week chance before transferring out..

Mini league teams all the same. Wildcard????
Boring at the min damn you chelski doubleOpen Controls -
Just to let you know, that there was a guy on here impersonating me (using my user name and gravator). Apparently he was trying to get people to post their email addresses. This wasn't me! Also, if he offended anyone. This wasn't me! If he convinced you to get marveaux, this WAS me (hangs his head in shame!!).
Open Controls-
Haha, glad I didn't bite into the Marveaux temptation!!
I did, however, get puffed into Podolski, and also ditched Ivanovic at the last minute.
Made any transfers yet?Open Controls-

I watched the Arsenal game, and Santi looked class. Superb vision and passing, and he's not afraid to shoot. I wouldn't bring him in this week if I didn't have him (sto, liv), but if I already had him I definitely wouldn't get rid.
Just had a quick look at your team - nothing urgent required imo. No MUN attack is a concern (I'm in the same boat) though. Who would you dump Torres for? VDV does worry me - I'm not sure I'd want a 9.0m midfielder who seemingly carries such a rotation risk. My advice - run the risk with no MUN cover and save the transfer. If VDV doesn't start (WBA) then Torres & VDV -> RVP/Rooney & Dyer/Michu in GW3
I'm more than likely taking a hit this week. Already done Mata -> Michu and will probably be doing Torres -> RVP later in the week!Open Controls-
Cheers. I think that I will probably stick. If I had more to go on for spurs mids, then i would go for one of them, but no-one else really stands out. I guess I could do carzola - man utd mid if we get an idea of starters.
I will probably only take torres out if it looks like I would lose money on him. if that happens, it would be for a man utd striker or maybe adebayor. Not before GW3 though.Open Controls

Arsenal To Sign Sahin, M’Vila And Llorente Within This Week

Okay, don't me mad but I done it. I just played my wildcard. It's a public holiday here in Singapore, I'm bored, yadda, yadda. I know, I know. To quote Ray Winstone in Sexy Beast, "I'm a c**t, I've always been a c**t.
Please RMT, out out of sympathy if nothing else ...
Vorm, Jussy
Verm, Vidic, Ridgewell, Hughes, Clyne
Santi Corzola, Hazard, Michu, McClean, Kac
Graham, RVP, DefoeOpen Controls-
get spurs player
Open Controls -
Verm = terrible fixtures
Clyne = terrible fixtures and terrible defence
carzola = terrible fixtures
McClean = no strikers for sunderland means not many assists
Defoe = won't be in the team when they sign a new striker
RVP = might be eased in. Not had much pre season (but then neither did barfa or cabeye)Open Controls -
I'd be more apt to have Bale than Defoe as Spurs will most likely sign a striker.
If they don't make a move, that's a really nice team.Open Controls
-
How did Spurs look defensively? Yes they conceded 2 goals, but with a nice run of fixtures, a defender could be a nice pick up..
Open Controls-
mm not that great.. average...
gallas out if i was in chargeOpen Controls

-
So no price rises liked said.
Open Controls -
Is ba likely to do well until early september ( when the sun transfer window is)?
Open Controls -
So what do we take from this, that no one has gone up?
1) A different time limit
2) No rises before end of GW1
3) Different NTI thresholdOpen Controls-
1) The time of price changes was all over the place last season. Sometimes happening even as late as 10am GMT
2) Price changes never happen after the first day of the season. Last season no changes happened for about 3 days.
3) The NTI threshold changes every year. Right now only those at FPL know what the new threshold is. Sites like Tfpl and Fiso are making estimates based on last season's outdated data and so will only become accurate after a week or so into the season.Open Controls-
Buddy i need your help. Check my team. My next transfer should probably be Aguero >RVP/Rooney correct?
Also want Graham and Tevez in my team. No hits for now right?
Have a look.Open Controls
-
-
Has Michu reached the supposed NTI?
Open Controls -
Michu has gone up. Song has gone down.
Open Controls-
It hasn't updated for me or you're lying.
Open Controls -
Lets pray to the gods, then, that my 'decision' not to transfer him in is a good one. Espeically since my main rival has him.
Open Controls-
Well i cant do that since i have him Gw1. Decent score 😀
Just got to figure what to do about the Aguero + Torres prob. Hopefully some news on the injury today.Open Controls-
Ah, the Torres problem. How did we end up there?
I think Aguero will be fine, at least for GW3, which is the most important really. Wouldnt waste a transfer for one GW.
If you got something banked, getting UTD cover seems good.
Personally I am hoping Kagawa will look like the good transfer, as I now chose not to Ramires->Michu Torres->RVP (0.1 short now)Open Controls-
i do have 2M in the bank so can do Torrs> rooney or Aguero > RVP/Rooney
Feel like getting rid of Petric and getting Graham in as well.Open Controls-
Petric is a differential in my mini league, so think I'll stick and bench for GW2, which was the plan anyway.
Front of
Dyer - Santi - Ramires - Bale - Taarabt
Tevez - Torres
Most likely going Ramires-> Kagawa or Torres -> RooneyOpen Controls-
Well wait and see the RDG game for this one.

Getting the scan done and then the results will probably mean we will know Aguero's injury extent after two days...

I stand corrected. I have Michu so it's good news anyway.

Is anyone else still in shock at Graham coming up empty? I mean how does a lone striker not even get an assist in a 5-0 drubbing? Unheard of.
Open Controls-
most frustrating thing ever!
< graham ownerOpen Controls -
Brings back memories of me taking a hit to get Evans and Rooney in for (WIG) last season. United win 5-0 and I get a combined 1 point from the pair.
Open Controls-
I remember I had Rooney for that. That must have seriously hurt.
Open Controls

-
Hes due. Think ill kick petric out and get him in.
Open Controls-
Yeah I started with Graham over Petric just because Swansea have the better fixtures in the long run. Still hoping it'll turn out to have been the smarter choice and hopefully he'll get pens too when Sinclair moves on.
Open Controls

Not his fault.
In no way surprised to be honest it's entirely feasible and in no way diminishes him as a fantasy prospect.Open Controls

Do you think Buttner will start ahead of Evra?
