    Looking to change out Ward and Hutton for two 4.5s.

    QPR and Palace rotate ok so Rio could be in, what are Mariappa's starting prospects, anyone know?

    I think if a striker cheaper than Sturridge does well and Sturridge scores 2pts, we'll see a 0.5/6m shift but not vice versa. Agree?

    Is Filipe Luis really a major risk?

    http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/492162/Mourinho-explains-Diego-Costa-Cesc-Fabregas-Filipe-Luis-and-Didier-Drogba-deals

    I'm sure you all remember this, but it may be handy to those who haven't. Mourinho seems to reckon that Luis is a ''real'' left back, unlike Azpilicueta (who was playing OOP last season) and now Ivanovic can return to his favoured position, which is CB.

    I know it's old news as this was weeks ago, but from reading this, it seems to put Terry/Cahill at risk more than Luis/Azpilicueta.

    Chris Baird. Is this man the best undiscovered 4m player in the game? He has started three preseason games in central mid. He clearly is going to play there. He was Irvine's first signing and rumours are abounding that he is considering making him vice captain. Ok we have to weigh this up with... he's Chris Baird... and he's playing... for West Brom. But still, I'm surprised that more people aren't going for him over Wisdom.
