    Interesting quotes from Wenger: http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/team-news-who-s-fit-to-face-aston-villa
    Could go either way this weekend for Gibbs/Ramsey/The Ox/Giroud/Ozil.

    And on AGUERO.... 😀

    He's posted a video of his recovery work - looking sharp to me.

    Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. My TV isn't great, so WC team at the minute is:

    Foster - Davis

    Kosc - Nastasic - Clyne - Ward - Chester

    Silva - Hazard - Ozil - Oscar - Bannan

    Jrod - Suarez - Lukaku

    This leaves enough in the bank to do ozil to ramsey and lukaku to kun, when he's back.

    I'd prefer bony over jrod but this would require an extra transfer to get kun back in.

    Any suggestions?

    Also, is the paid membership worth it? Thanks.

    Repost.
    This is rather for GW22 onwards, as I'm planning to get Aguero when he fully recovers, so I found 2 decent options how to do it. What do you think??

    A) Howard, Lallana, Ramsey (when fit), Adebayor (then Lukaku, Ozil -> Ramsey, Aguero)

    B) Marshall, Eriksen, Ozil, JRod (just Lukaku -> Aguero)

    Pls RMT.... final time before I put it down

    Sagna, Coleman, Mert (Kompany, Ward)
    Silva, Gerrard, Haz, Ozil (mutch)
    Adebayor, Lukaku, Suarez.

    When they fit... Ozil ->Ramsey, Lukaku->Aguero

    Looking for some differential to climb the ranks, but should I have Toure over Silva? Lallana over Gerrard?
    Too much bank in Kompany on my bench? (if so, where else to put it... it's a waste in my bank)
