            FT or hit?

            Hoping Bony can deliver against Stoke. I'll be keeping him this GW to address other issues

      Is Dzeko worth a punt?

      Next 6 is SUN, STK. Blank, VIL, hul, FUL
      Can upgrade from JRod with FT
      Can cover for the blank as at the moment I only have Yaya and Mata blanking.

        Hazard is the numero uno as far as mids are concerned. It's not a bad move at all. Especially the way Mata was deployed last game. Moyes seems to not have a clue.

        I think Mata will probably outscore Yaya for the rest of the season but he's proved me wrong so far this year. Probably not a good idea doubling up on united the way they're playing too

          I don't think he will to be honest. Yaya has continued to prove people wrong and Moyes has already shown that he's prepared to make Mata look ordinary.

      Morning y'all. Need some help for my draft team this week. I need a win!...

      Boruc/Mannone
      Azpilicueta/Baines/Shaw/Evans/Reid
      Mirallas/Ozil/Eriksen/Noone/Puncheon
      Suarez/Jovetic/Bony/Agbonlahor

      A) Is it wise to pick Baines from these for the captaincy should the Liverpool game be cancelled? I need to submit my team by 6pm/9am UK time.
      B) Any ideas on a starting XI?!

        Boruc
        Baines - Reid(if starting, Shaw if not) - Azpilicueta
        Mirallas - Ozil - Eriksen - Noone(if starting, Puncheon if not)
        Suarez - Jovetic - Bony

        If the Liv game is off, Baines and Mirallas look your only real captaincy contenders IMO.
