No Gylfi pleasure for me, Dempsey heartbreak more like. A trip to the Cottage inspired the decision to throw my FPL armband the way of Captain America, only for Sigurdsson to steal the thunder and banish me to a miserable tube ride home.

Mark lends an (un)sympathetic ear in this latest episode, as we roll through the regulars whilst discussing how we’re all heading back to the drawing board for our third striker solution.

    Using sherlock Holmes logic, I think my 3 rivals all have brought in Valencia. I have Young and a 26 point lead. I rarely use reactive transfers but it looks like Young to Valencia really has to be done right?

      He's probably not going to be fit for the west brom game. Should be back for liverpool. According to Pardew, he was going to play left back at arsenal before his injury. I think he'll get plenty of playing time. Split between right mid, left back, and the bench. Probably spawny enough to keep getting good points even without playing 90 mins every game. Saying that, Mrs China Mag is looking to get rid.

              Surman has been very impressive of late.
              He's a great threat & should have scored against NewCastle.
              His place his more guaranteed than other Norwich Players.

    This article is fascinating considering how it talks about Dempsey rotation. I will look to play Siggy ever game so it frees up the possibility to rotate Dempsey with a cheap midfielder or striker. Morrison, McClean or Sessegnon are good options. Is anyone else looking to rotate Dempsey and if so who for? The other option I suppose is simply to get rid of Dempsey

      I think after NOR and perhaps bol, there are only 2 games I'd want Dempsey for in the run in. At over 9m that's an awful lot sat on your bench for 4/6 weeks, so I'm swaying towards getting rid in GW33.

                  Yep fair call. In the final week you generally take a 1 game punt on someone so you'd just trade Dempsey out

            I'll be playing him only 5-6 times over his good fixtures in 9 games. It isn't too much, as long as you have a decent rotation plan for him. Siggy, Caulker & co make it possible.

                Nah, dirt-cheap Siggy as a 3rd/4th mid makes it possible to have a luxury rotation for the last place.

                  This is exactly why its a good idea to rotate Dempsey with a cheapie. Money is hardly an issue.

      Currently on Morrison myself, but worked against me this week as I rotated him with Siggy. But certainly a good option if he continues to play in an advanced role.

      Sunderland don't have attacking form or the fixtures - I'd stay clear until we see some improvement.

      My personal favorite is Danny Graham. Cheap option for the 3rd striker and gives a great set of fixtures with Captain America.

          Not so sure about them after their toothless display against Blackburn. 0 shots on goal for such a capable team against one of the weakest defences. I don't know - maybe they need Sess.

      His remaining home games aren't as easy as Wolves, and although Fulham do well at home, I think Pog will take the big points from him.

        Yeah the Pog is a good alternative to Dempsey. It allows for cheaper rotation whilst still having solid Fulham cover

        I need Gerrard for the differential. I can bring in Rooney for Aguero but I'd be 0.9 in the hole and would have to downgrade Dempsey or Dempsey/Richards.

        I'd also have three Man United players which I never like.
