    Good evening gents

    quick question about UCL Fantasy: is Adriano (Barca) injured, I know he played the last match but he's red flagged in the game for some reason. (did he pick up an injury after the game?)

      Yeah if you're sacrificing Arsenal cover in midfield.

      My midfield currently reads

      Walcott - Ramsey - Oscar - Hazard

      Just remember Podolski is two weeks out. Giroud is in dire need of rest. Wenger has admitted the return of Walcott gives him more attacking options. Wally can play as a striker.

      I did Ozil to Wally this week.

    They are working well as a two, Aguero for such a great striker is quite unselfish and Pellagrini has said Neg is his ideal Prem striker. Not bad for nearly £3 million less...

        This is only my 1st SERIOUS season of FPL (played casually for a few seasons but always forgot to make transfers, would lose my 2nd FT, would forget to solidify my lineup before the start of the season after just plugging in 15 to have my team just 'in place'), where I'm actually paying attention to all teams beyond recreationally watching games..it's a ton of fun but I'm doing something wrong:

        Next season I'm going to have a firm policy of taking zero, or as few, hits as possible unless my hand is absolutely forced by some crazy string of injuries to my players or something of the like. I've taken a -4 once this season, a -8 4 times, and a -12 once. It's just out of control. I'm too lazy to check the final differential between points lost from hits and points I would have had if I just stuck, but I have to imagine based on that, I'm at least in the negative somewhat, if not a lot. 22 transfers so far this season AND my wildcard already played.

        Migs, Lewis
        Clyne, Coleman, Rosenior, Burner, Rat
        Januzaj, Ravel, Hazard, Ramsey, Gerrard
        Suarez, Aguero, Rooney

        I like my team, though I want to do a FT this week but am going to do my best to remain resolute and hold it for next week so that going forward I can always do my 1 FT (so as to not lose my 2nd FT) and have the luxury of doing a double with no hit if I really need to.

        I know it could use some work (ESPECIALLY the defense), but I will remain strong! Last time I didn't take a hit was GW9..wish me luck.

      Was discussed this morning .... The debate is still out but see below for comments

      It is very simple for me. With any player, you have to put yourself on the training field. If you do that, you will be in with a chance of playing. Jon Flanagan was immense. He will be in a derby that is shown on Sky Golden in 30 years' time because of his desire and will to put himself out there every day.- BR

      It moved Steven Gerrard to say: "Our star man for me was Jon Flanagan by a country mile. He doesn't get many headlines but as captain of the team he was the player I am most proud of. I thought he was unbelievable. He's been fighting hard in training just to get in the 18, never mind the starting 11, but the manager threw him in at the deep end against a top-class player like [Kevin] Mirallas and I thought he was sensational. It was one of the best derby performances I have seen for many years. He reminds me of [Jamie] Carragher in a lot of ways. I don't think you would judge Jon in terms of ability or skill,"

    This is only my 1st SERIOUS season of FPL (played casually for a few seasons but always forgot to make transfers, would lose my 2nd FT, would forget to solidify my lineup before the start of the season after just plugging in 15 to have my team just 'in place'), where I'm actually paying attention to all teams beyond recreationally watching games..it's a ton of fun but I'm doing something wrong:

    Next season I'm going to have a firm policy of taking zero, or as few, hits as possible unless my hand is absolutely forced by some crazy string of injuries to my players or something of the like. I've taken a -4 once this season, a -8 4 times, and a -12 once. It's just out of control. I'm too lazy to check the final differential between points lost from hits and points I would have had if I just stuck, but I have to imagine based on that, I'm at least in the negative somewhat, if not a lot. 22 transfers so far this season AND my wildcard already played.

    Migs, Lewis
    Clyne, Coleman, Rosenior, Burner, Rat
    Januzaj, Ravel, Hazard, Ramsey, Gerrard
    Suarez, Aguero, Rooney

    I like my team, though I want to do a FT this week but am going to do my best to remain resolute and hold it for next week so that going forward I can always do my 1 FT (so as to not lose my 2nd FT) and have the luxury of doing a double with no hit if I really need to.

    I know it could use some work (ESPECIALLY the defense), but I will remain strong! Last time I didn't take a hit was GW9..wish me luck.

      I've lost track of how many seasons I've been doing this now but I'm still learning things. I've always been a bit too hit-happy myself and I think the value of saving transfers has finally dawned on me. My 5-way rotation in defence has worked pretty well too and that's a tactic I haven't tried before either.

      Your team looks decent so good luck with your first proper stab at FPL!
