So, in the end Mata barely played 15 mins in 2 weeks... surely he won't need rest for the next few games? Hazard more likely as he played two full games.

Couple of points :
1-Man utd had 5 England players starting , young 78 also as sub, Rooney/wellbeck played 90
Rotation alert .
2-Rvp played 86 minutes for Netherlands (4-0 win over romania)and scored twice (once last sat also) -Couple of interesting stats from that Dutch win - 14th qualifying victory in a row, Van Persie now has 17 qualifier goals in Euro and World Cup, level with Denis Bergkamp.
3-Rvp / rooney both scoring well for country ....

Evening, pals.

Surprised no-one has nominated me for a full jonty yet. Such a truly inspiring story...one boy had a dream...and that dream came true...it brings a tear to my eye every time...

😥

England were great first half, it wasn't the players. The tactics were off second half, Hodgson did not react to the Montenegro shift imo. Once they came more narrow Cleverley had no space to play, which makes him useless. That's why i hate seeing Cleverley played deep, he needs to roam up top where we can benefit from his creativity and passing. Buy i'm probably talking bullshit as usual, i'm not a professional football manager 😀

If my country entertains any oligarch connected person as the next football manager of England I may as well give up hope and hang myself or take a radio active pill.

We may rejoice the fact that blood money spews itself across the English channel and can infect the very heart of our national sport. But even though we can sell certain clubs to European mafia men I get a sense of Bile rising in my stomach if that descends into our national game.

Give me a good uncorrupted English football manager for fooks sake.

I have a good lead in my ML and I don't care about my overall rank so I'm willing to take hits now.

Cameron,Punch,Theo to Mertesacker, Maloney and Punch for a 8 point hit?
OR
Davies and Punch to Mertesacker and Maloney for a 4 point hit?

Cazorla needs approximately 4,600 transfers in to rise. If the rate stayed the same he might make it to Friday without rising but I sense the rate will rise and he could rise in price Thursday night, I'd love if he made it to Friday without rising so we could hear about Walcott!

Shouldn't this be be a Townsend vs Jenas article?

what are people thinking about RVP –> Rooney?

Only considering it as I need to free up some cash to get Carzola. Was also considering selling suarez, but who the heck would I bring in for him?

I really hate the international breaks.. I leave my FPL team for a while, then come back to it in prep for the next GW, and don't have a clue what is going on.

back to an earlier questions lads. how do i accept the new cookies on premierleague.com?

* Slipped on the M in Mata and put "

Worth taking a 4 point hit to move from Walcott to Cazorla or is there a chance Walcott might go this weekend?

Still so frustrated with tonight's result 👿

Thought on having these are my 3 FT before the double game week:

Mata to Lampard

Lukaku to Berbatov

Michu to Santi Carzola

England's problem in my opinion is they have some talented players but they don't use them enough in games that matter.

Tonight I see that Gerrard had more shots than anyone else (Rooney had 5 to Gerrard's 6)

Now I know Gerrard is a great player but he's not really the world beater he used to be. So why not deploy him in a more creative role and play guys like Young/Chamberlain/Sturridge/Defoe/Baines/Lampard from the start.

They all just got to show off against San Marino and score 8 goals but then when it comes to the big games England persist with playing the likes of Milner/Welbeck when they are either not the finished article or just not as creative as the other guys. England need to play more attacking football that reflects the premier league style and not just nurture all this talent only to let Gerrard to take long rangers repeatedly because he's 'experienced'

2 problems

1) Luiz - i want to get him on the wc, but if Chelsea have a DGW in 33 and he hasn't been booked yet, he's too much of a risk. Might just have to get Azpi. (If Chelsea win i may risk Luiz)

2) Berba - Looks like he's going up tonight, but can't see that Suarez or Remy are worth selling for him.

What say you folks.

Suarez (C)?

Hmmm, just had a look at Gigging order's team, not really sure what's interesting about it apart from having Ciaran Clark for quite a few minus point weeks...maybe he found Jonty's cat... 😯

Ok so I now have 2 wc teams

1 in the case of a United DGW in 33 (which involves Giroud or Chica) and 1 in the case of a Chelsea DGW

I also have 2 sets of transfer plans

In short I NEED A LIFE

Did Suarez play the 90?

Here's an interesting quiz.

After Bale, Mata, Michu, Gerrard, Cazorla, Hazard, Walcott, Fellaini and Silva (basically the usual big guns), without looking, name the next 5 highest scoring midfielders in FPL so far this season.

Just working out the DGW options, for either FA Cup result.

It would be so much easier if United got through, I don't want a Bale blank or to worry about squeezing RVP back in. Also, realising that the Fulham DGW is definitely on has thrown me, I wish they had some decent midfield options.

Michu + Benteke -> Santi + Berba (-4)?

How did Jovetic look today? Missed the game; got called to the hospital.

therefore Sissoko>Santi is a no brainer ey ? i see Santi's okay now ?

Night lads

because someone should, often: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V1bFr2SWP1I

How good is total fpl will Berbatov rise tonight?.
