    I believe the differentials between the Aussies and the FFS Old Folks' Home is this:

    Australia: +20
    Myhill x3, Ospina, De Gea
    Kolarov x2, Bertrand x2, Lescott, Vlaar, Toby, Skrtel, Mike Wazowski, Burke, Baines, Moreno
    Sanchez x4, Silva x4, Mane x2, Ramsey, Fabregas, Bolasie
    Kane x3, Vardy x2, Aguero, Wickham

    Old Folks:
    Schmeichel x5
    Ivanovic x2, Huth x2, Schlupp, Stones, McShane, Mangala, Hutton, Duff
    Ozil x2, Cazorla x2, Albrighton x2, Cambiasso x2, Puncheon, Delph, Boyd, Hazard
    Benteke x6, Giroud x2

    Quite a few tasty differentials there!

      If this is accurate and assuming all of these players played today, the updated version is this:

      Australia:

      Ospina
      Kolarov x2, Skrtel, Moreno
      Sanchez x4, Silva x4, Ramsey, Fabregas
      Aguero

      Pakistan: +40pts

      I like the idea although I'm not sure that adding restrictions to the prices of players adds anything of value, if anything it discards some of the best picks like Kolarov. 🙂

        perhaps a limit on ownership to 5 / 10% at any point. (Yes I have that ownership data to hand 😛 )

    Tom Fenley's wildcard is taking this gameweek by storm, absolute scenes in the Windies dugout as their worst nightmare is realised.

    @Pakistan, this is what happens when you give us an Aguero differential 😛

      Still think you're in a good position. We could do with a score draw in Chelsea game with Skrtel and zouma goal 🙂

        Thought Silva only got a goal. Looks like he has a goal and an assist - lovely.

      I brought Silva in this week for first time this season. Sri Lanka have taken the gloss right off.

      Terry goal, Henderson assist. Think we will probably end up losing this one!
