I'm curious, why does everyone seem to think that Soton will suddenly start to struggle playing at home to the likes of Everton and Man U? Just because their fixtures are tougher doesn't mean thei…

I'm still mad. Let's pick on the signings. The good: none. The okay-ish: Moreno: Has been at fault for 2 goals in 10 games but he's looked promising going forward and is looking to be a good l…

Can anybody see any way that Poch can resist Kane's inclusion now ?..and if he notches when he get's a start will there be any going back ?

**Long Post Alert** Since almost everyone has a Clyne/Bertrand + Pelle and with Aguero, Baines & ADM seemingly indispensable, it comes down to Sanchez vs Costa. Sanchez: +Main man at Arsenal. +N…

So, whose been your favourite fpl player or moment this year (so far) ? I suspect a lot will say the Aguero 4 goals, but for me it was Tadics 20 pts in the same GW. It was unexpected, even at hal…

Okay, what do we think then. Costa is back in "individual training". Mourinho rules out Remy and has "no idea" if Drogba starts. Chances of Costa figuring. I'd say 50:50 at worst, personally.
