    @JOA - if Baines ends on 170pts for the season, would you see that as a "fail"?

      I dunno I guess it depends, if the midfielders keep scoring as they are then probably not because not many midfielders will get that the way it's looking.

        25 appearances 50
        Goals(3) 18
        Bonus 12
        Assist(5) 15
        CS(4) 12
        TOTAL 170

    Is the Arsenal presser on Thursdays or Fridays?

    "Theo is 100% fit, has trained well and will start" is what I want to hear, Arsene.

        How long was Santi out for? He came straight back into the starting 11. I think we will need his pace and directness against a decent Saints defence.

          Santi and Theo are different people, you have to take into account how they respond to injury and treatment, how quickly the regain match sharpness. all sorts of factors really.

        If Theo was a forward in FPL, no way would anyone be considering him right now. The lack of clear options in midfield is very much the guiding factor here.

          Youre not wrong there. It gives us that are behind in or MLs an explosive differential as well as freeing up funds (if downgrading Ozil)

    Thinking of doing Oscar to Sess to free up some funds. I was looking at bringing in a defender for a hit (Wilson> ?) then but I don't know if its worth it just yet. Will prob play Clyne for 2. It's either that or just do Wilson to Yanga.

    At some point over the next 3 weeks I will be doing:

    Mirallas & Nasri -> Walcott & Michu/Coutinho (Michu/Cout will be in GW14)

    I need to find 0.5m to do this, so my question is are there any better ways of generating the cash than from a Toure downgrade? And if so, any better options than C Davies this week (check the goal threat in the Comparison tool)??

    Morning All,

    I need a midfielder, 5.1m or under - I would very much appreciate your opinions on my options:

    A) RavMo - walking the tightrope
    B) Bacuna - has been playing reverse OOP (but Lowton is now back)
    C) Zanuzaj - not nailed on

    I think I've pretty much discounted Zanuzaj from my thinking as with the winter schedule approaching I need somebody who is 99% nailed on, but I'm toiling between the other two.

    Thanks.
