City’s in-form frontman continues to catch the eye. Newcastle’s on-loan forward also impresses, while we cast an eye over a couple of midlands-based midfielders and assess attacking threat from the back over this weekend and the last six Gameweeks:

    Chances of Muller starting for Bayern this week?

      I think he'll start. Was benched for the last CL game. Can't see him benched again.

      We'll get all the lineups as well. So, no worries there.

    Repost from earlier today.

    Falling stars update (GW10) (prices correct as of 31/10)

    You know the rules..a fictitous team made up of those players who have fallen from grace.Cheap as chips, all less than their opening gw values and collectively on or less than the original 100 mill budget. Definitely no knee jerks allowed and affording the absolute luxury of awaiting Friday pressers.

    GW10 team as posted 31/10

    Harper(8)

    Johnson(DNS) Cole(1) Rosenior(9)

    Michu(2) Mirallas(2) Sessegnon(6) Cabaye(7)

    Torres(2) Benteke(2) RVP © (24)

    Subs..DDG(3) Rat(6) Williams(2) JWP(7) BOOM..after auto subs 69 pts GW10 average 52 pts

    Harper/Rosenior prove great budget picks..Cabaye shows the worth of a player ON kicks..and RVP finally living up to his somewhat overpriced hype. On the downside..Torres once again flattered to deceive and Michu proves the worth of a 9.0mill player NOT on kicks.

    Boom again for the falling stars. It was hard to compete against a seven goal haul by the City megastars and Captain Aguero this week but not too shabby…happy with that

      Sorry to rain on your parade Demi.

      Do you think Tomkins is worth the 0.2 over Rat? Rat gets forward a lot, but he doesn't really have an outlet for his crosses. Tomkins seems like a BP magnet and a decent goal threat. Reid is a bigger goal threat, but he's too expnsive for my tastes.

        Tough one. Rat seems more nailed on to me. Collins could get his place back after a couple poor performances, whereas i see that as less likely with Job. I'd lean towards Rat for the money saved and occasional assist

              no idea, FPL just says unknown return date.

              will consider this during the Norwich game. It just seems to me that CBs are more likely to get BPs when they keep a Clean Sheet.

                Seems generally true but doesn't seem to have been quite the game changer it seemed to be 6-7 GWs ago when the returns from Vidic/Terry/Ferdinand suggested you might get an extra 2 bonus from your centerbacks. Think the truth is that it's more about owning an exceptional centerback than owning any center back at all.

                  I guess the other big factor is the supposed goal drought turned out to be a load of baloney so any advantage in CS bonus comes into play less often.

    Clyne Dawson Coleman Toure Wilson

    I feel I don't have a cheapie I could do with one at 4.0m at least. And my players have upcoming tough fixtures, I had considered sending Dawson on his way but hes good for BPS in a decent defensive team.

      Like most cup competitions there's too many rounds for me to see any realistic chance of winning it, not going to let it interfere with my decision making tbh.

    After a great week for my wc team in UCL 2 weeks ago it now lies in tatters

    Adriano -doubtful
    Sneijder - injured
    Zlatan - doubtful

    May have to get rid of Muller for Ribery and get Drogba in.
