    coleman got all the glory from everton but by looking at the bonus points system baines was 5th. he was behind the scorers only. I guess whenever he scores he is set on for 3 bps and also if games finish 0-0 or 1-0 for everton he is set on bps as well. his all around game will benefit him. really tempted on bringing him in instead of coleman.

    GW4 - GW9/10 - the period where everyone is getting RVP - is also the period where my planned 3 strikers (Soldado, Sturridge and Giroud) have the best fixtures out of any teams in the league according to the ticker! I do think a non-RVP team is still very very possible. I know that no one else will score as consistently, but I think the money saved by not having him currently outweighs that for me.

      Not having him gives you the money to have Bale, if he stays. Also expecting Walcott and Hazard to raise their games...

    My favourite bit of the article was the "0" bit.

    When I went on endlessly about Anelka being this since 2010 in league games;

    Chelsea
    2010-11: 32 games, 6 goals
    2011-12: 9 games, 1 goal

    Shanghai
    2012: 22 games, 3 goals

    Juventus
    2012-13: 2 games, 0 goals

    And about the fact his prime was at Arsenal 14 years ago.

    And about how he is just a money grabber after another signing on fee.

    Why did so many insist he was a good option?

      That's what I was thunking, but Ward might not be a bad back up if Holloway's trying the old "hard to beat" and Stoke are as toothless as Saturday.

      No, only in team because of Bassong injury.

    With RVP owned by 45% would non-owners agree with the following:

    Bad GW1 = get RVP asap to cover the 45% ownership and use your other players to climb the lower ranks.
    Good GW1 = stick with the plan and bring him in for GW4 (or not at all)

    too simplistic/too early for snap judgements?

      Depends how your strikers did/are set up. The Bad GW1 is probably down to people's midfields apart from Lukaku, who still has a game left.

      I think it will be difficult to find differential to climb when you have so much money blocked by RVP. Will need a good pick to find the performing midpriced players.

    Soldado is one of the best Strikers in the world. Underpriced at 9.5

      Tottneham have the worst creative midfielders of the top 6-7

      He's a good pick, but far from the best

      I have heard Aguero is fully fit for tonight. Hope he does not get over 45 minutes. That is where you might lose coz Cole might outdo Hazard... But its 50/50 I would say.
