      I don't think Szczesny is completely awful, but I do think he can slack off really quite hard and it doesn't matter as he's never NOT going to be first choice until they sign another decent GK.

      Even if they just had a better second choice to keep him on his toes it'd probably be good, as right now he can turn in absolutely crap performances like Saturday and know it really doesn't matter as he'll be starting against Fenerbache and Fulham.

    Hm... I could take an 8 point hit and have the following for next gw...

    Boruc
    Shaw Coleman Luna
    Oscar Walcott Mirallas Snodgrass
    RVP Sturridge Benteke

    Mannone Ward Brayford Whittingham/Garvan/Koren/Elmo/Barkley

    At the moment that's a pretty nice team. But I think I'd need my Chelsea boys - Hazard, Oscar and Ramires - to net me some serious points to be able to afford the hit. Otherwise I could consider a 4 pointer, holding on to Anelka or Ramires instead of Mirallas or Benteke.

    Then again, Benteke (liv) looks pretty good to outscore Anelka (eve) by 4pts and likewise Mirallas (WBA) looks pretty good to outscore Ramires (mun) by 4pts, so the hits might be justified.

          But seriously. I'm tempted by the Benteke idea. I could hold onto Ramires one more week and I reckon for 4pts, Benteke + cheap mid should outscore Hazard + Anelka both over the next 2 and beyond.

      I am hoping they do not get William (pool fan) and that Welback cracks the XI. He appears to be ready to get in the first side now. Especially if Rooney takes off. Fellaini and Welback behind RVP? Watch out!

    No FPL action on tonight's game, and very little across the various FF formats, so I guess I'm hoping for the customary 1-1 with goals for Ameobi and Nasri...

    Afternoon ffs sages, can I get some feedback on my team please? I started with this:

    Foster (Boruc)
    Cahill, Koscielny, Agger (Brayford, Moxey)
    Walcott, Hazard (vc), Tonev, Coutinho (Kim)
    Soldado, Lukaku (c), Negredo

    I've already knee-jerked Cahill out for Coleman as part of my Chelsea exit strategy... should I be overly concerned about anything at this stage?

    Bit of an heads up concerning lukaku. I think you should keep him in ur team till after the man u game. I can see him starting against villa and the man u game. Torres will start in the supercup. Then u will have two transfers to use.
