    This Michu business is doing my head in. Really want to get him for the fixtures and price hike, but might imply a hit. Which of the three plans looks best, you think?

    1) Ramires -> Michu now. 3.0 in bank for a possible Torres->RVP or Torres-Rooney

    2) Ramires -> Michu now. Hold the fort no matter what (take no hit).

    3) Do nothing, let Michu rise, and assess later, possible doing Ramires-> McClean to free the 0.5 for RVP

    I have Dyer, mind you.

      He probably can't hack it on an adverse weather night in Stoke. Just like Messi, Pele and Maradona 😉

      PS. I brought him in for Carzola, would have been Taarabt but didn't have the cash. I see no harm in doubling up on Swansea, the fixtures and form should encourage it.

    Yay! #251 on ESPN fantasy football with three utd players to play, plus 3 chelski players for DGW. I feel that this success is also partky down to this site...thanks guys and gals!

    Of course by the end of the season I'll probably be nowhere near the top, so I thought I'd celebrate now 🙂
