Tottenham spring to life at the Madejski to bring the weekend’s action to a close. That gives us the opportunity to delve deeper, plunder the members area data and pick out the points of interest from the nine Premier League encounters so far…
As a role model, refusing to shake the hand of your opponent is reprehensible. What message does this send out to youngsters who are told to shake hands and make up? They should be made to shake hands or face the next match sat on the bench with a camera on them highlighting what naughty boys they've been. Fining them is no good because their egos are not dented that way.

Don't mind me, I'm going to let off a bit of steam. It's not that I'm not disappointed with 28 points after WC. I can accept the fact that the "template" WC team failed because my team looks nice for next week and onwards.
RVP...these things happen and it's not as if we didn't know it could, just might happen.
It's Adebayor. I'm so gutted he didn't play. He was my one brave (stupid) differential for my WC team and I was so confident that it could claw me back a few points on the masses after my terrible start.
To round it all of.........I took Defoe OUT for Adebayor .........AAAARRRRGGGHHHH 🙁Open Controls
Suarez in for Adebayor. Nice fixtures from GW6 onwards and we're always up for a game against Man U.
Open ControlsFunny, he was the first player who jumped into my head.
Open Controls
Ouch Ouch Ouch.
AVB is a gitOpen Controls
Aside from the bit about DAD, I could say exactly the same*
I had Berba and Jussi as certs in my WC team, changed my mind Friday night and got Lambert and Foster instead. Next week can't come soon enough.
*Except I got 2 points more than you 😛Open ControlsIt should be DAVBD 😉
Open Controls
Cheers HVT. I actually did need to use WC...I had double City defenders, VdV, Ireland, Green that all had to go.
I'm still glad I played it...it's...it's just Defoe that killed me.Open Controls
Is it worth losing Ivanovic and going 4-4-2 to 3-4-2 to make room for Berbatov up front?
Open ControlsWhoa. That means you don't have Tevez and Van Persie? Shocking. Although if it's no Van Persie you're probably feeling pretty snug right about now
Open Controls
Chelsea at home to Stoke!? Surely you have a better option to bench than this?
Open Controls15/ 9 / 6 / 6 points so far.
Just do not get why people want to drop Ivanovich!!
Once he is dropped or injured fine.
Home to Stoke 😯Open ControlsStraight up!!!!
Open Controls
I don't like the rotation with Kac myself, but I'm liking the idea of getting him in soon and rotating with Maloney instead.
Open Controls
To be honest, he's going to be amazing and score goals every other week...I'm keeping.
Open Controls
Foster Begovic
Ivanovic Coloccini Cuellar Demel Clark
Hazard Santi Guthrie Michu Nolan
Tevez RVP Berbatov
What do we think of this team?Open Controls
is 12 point hit too much. Or am I getting into wildcard territory?

So can a backline of Ivan Ridgwell Demel (fonte barnett) be improved ?
With 0.3m i the bankOpen Controls
well fonte and barnett are no good to anyone...
Open ControlsCheapie choice to fill in the void. Might even consider playing three of Demel Ridge and Ivan whole season. But still looking for an oppurtunity to boost these backline by adding a goalthreat (clark reid baines verm etc). With my front 8. It might be a headache to pick 1 to be left out tho.
Open Controls
Gonna stick this up again 😉
Who bought Dempsey , Avb or Levy ?Open Controls
I would like to have one keeper who plays. I'm considering getting Foster (already have West Ham defense so don't want Jussi). Should I sell de Gea or Federici?
Open Controls
Mc Cartney nailed on?
Open ControlsHasnt he just been injured lately? Surely he will start ahead of o brien when he is fully fit?
Open Controls
61 points with Bonus and only Jagielka to go, looks ill be owning you rest bastards 😛
Open Controls- Open Controls
Good score. Well played.
Open Controls
Who are you?
Open Controls
funny enough, 2 weeks in a row without keeper 🙁
anyway, here is my team, time to WC?
DDG Fed
Zab A.cole Cuellar Demel Hughes
Hazard Guthrie Yaya Michu Pineear
Tevez Torres Berba
2.6m in bank
going to clear out zab, change my keeper combo if I WC, and maybe get in Carzola, and get rid of torres.
worth the WC, or just wait till the next int. break?Open ControlsI would wait. One or two 4 point hits is good for the soul early season.
Open Controlsget rid of DDG for foster?
what do u think?
4pts. hit btw, already did early graham>berbaOpen ControlsI wouldn't, no. Foster would HAVE to get a CS for it to work, and that's risky.
I would have held onto Graham and dealt with your keeper situation firstOpen ControlsTheoretically DDG could play next week...Federici not so much.
A four point hit isn't likely worth it for this week only. Value wise, Foster will go up and DDG could go down this week. If you don't care about value, wait until the end of the week. Man U play in the CL and Lindegaard could get hurt.Open Controlsaway to liverpooll isn't excatly CS material though, and as I am not planning to keep DDG long term anyway, value matters for me a bit
Open ControlsFWIW, I will bring in Foster for DDG tonight (and I have Federici) for my one transfer to beat the potential price rise. Typically I don't take the 4 point hit so early...I save the second transfer (and pt hit) in case of injuries in mid-week CL matches.
Open Controls
Assou ekotto out for four weeks. Who will replace him? Worth brining him in for cheapness?
Open Controls
Anyone considering Gervinho, City and Chelsea are tough fixtures but hardly watertight.
Open Controls
Far too many options, Walcott, Giroud, Chamberlain. If you want Arsenal it has to be Podolski or the best AM in the league... Cazorla!
Open Controlswaiting to see if Caz's form is reflected in FF before spending 9.X. He could be a Modric / Dembele type or he could get a few assists but no goals? Historically he doesn't score all that many and 9.X is a lot for anyone who isnt irreplacable like Haz (or like Lamps used to be)
Open ControlsI sort of agree. I think Santi is a great prospect and I'm happy to own him but I'm not ready to anoint him a "season-keeper" like a lot of other folks. However, I feel the same about Hazard. His only goal has come from the spot and that will only happen if Lamps isn't on the field.
Open Controls
will jussi rise .2 this week? I think he just might...
Open Controls
Bale bonus 3 ???????? Defoe bonus 0 ??????
Open Controlsi watched that game and can't make sense of that at all
Open Controlsyep I know Defoe missed a few shots but Bale didn't do much
Open Controls
haha makes me happy 😛
Open ControlsCan't quite believe it either.
Open Controls
Whhoa - 3 more points from nowhere. This is bizzare!
Open Controlsvery bizzare
Open Controls
Surely that's a mistake?
Sandro 2 even though Defoe scored twice. MadnessOpen Controls
When Sagna comes back, who's place will he take in the Arsenal defense?
Open ControlsSczcesny
Open Controls
on 32 with baines piennar and jelavic captain i NEED everton to win
Open Controls
If you were getting a midfielder next week would you find the extra cash for Cazorla or settle for someone £8.4m or less?
Open Controls
Considering Zab > Ridgewell and Kagawa > Cazorla for a 4 pt hit.
How does that sound to anyone?Open Controls
Looks good. Although from memory Carzola's immediate fixtures aren't great.
Open ControlsSolid enough but I think Kagawa has just as good a chance of matching Cazorla's scores over the next 2 weeks.
Open ControlsYeah, I agree with that, half an eye on value. Cazorla's next 2 arent great, but at least he's going to be getting 90 mins. I'd want Cazorla in the longer term, and have RVP, so Im considering giving him a go against the tougher teams if he's going to rise.
Open Controls
Just got back from a little trip away and thought I'd share my horror week with everyone :p:
I had:
DDG
Fed
Zabaleta
McCartney
Bennett (The one that didn't play)
Valencia
and to top it all off...RVP captain. Fail!!Open ControlsThanks I feel (slightly) better now
Open Controls
Karloshi thanks for giving me somethin to think about. That 2 cheapie mids can really boost my team. But id have to lose Santi/barfa in the process. Is that okay?
Open Controlswhich keeper to get to rotate with Fed? (so probably want a keeper who has good fixture in the next 2/3GWs)
