Chelsea and Villa’s assets feature prominently in the top 10 of our ICT Index after Gameweek 1, with the two teams supplying five players between them after opening the season with a pair of fixtures apiece. While many of the usual suspects have made an instant impact, we turn our attentions to the newly-promoted sides and attempt to look for the positives after all three tasted defeat in their opening fixture of the 2013/14 campaign.
So Aguero or soldado as captain this gw?
Open ControlsPlease rate my team!
Boruc (Foster)
Zabaleta - Ivanovic - Coleman (Toure, Chester)
Walcott - Snodgrass - Mirallas - Hazard (R.Morrison)
Dzeko - Soldado (C) - Sturridge
Ready to go?!
Thank you!Open ControlsSeems good
Open Controls
which defence would you rather?,both cost the same..the 2nd has more balance yes but i like Zabaleta+Mignolet 😐 and im settled on my font 8 so not penny pinching from there 🙂
1) Mignolet Harper
Zabaleta Coleman Shaw Chester Ward
or
2) Boruc Davis
Lescott Coleman Toure Shaw CollinsOpen Controls1

Despite Willian not being a steal at 30m, I feel sad about the situation. The player even underwent a medical for christ's sake!!! 🙁
Open ControlsPresumably Spurs were paying for his flights/hotel too
Open ControlsI'm a Spurs fan, and slightly relieved..
37 million is an atrocious amount for a player his quality.
He's undoubtedly good, but by no means worth more than 22 millionish..
Hopefully we go for Lamela +1 nowOpen ControlsDirty move, Lamela would ease the pain a lot! Plus there would still be 60 mill of Bale money left
Open Controls
Coleman Shaw zaba do i have the best back 3 for this week 😉
Open Controls2 to play from Toure, Collins, Ward and Chester?
Open ControlsBoruc
Evra / Zabaleta / O'Brien
Hazard / Coutinho / Mirallas(c) / Snodgrass
Soldado / Giroud / Benteke(vc)
Subs: Westwood / Kim / Chester / Amorbieta
Save FT... or ship out Amorieta this week?
Still sitting on fence with (c)
Thoughts please 🙂Open ControlsDon't captain Mirallas...Surely Coutinho, Soldado, Giroud are all better options

The Killers - Human
Open ControlsSo Chelsea signing Willian. Another attacking midfielder, looks like they are buying players so others can't again.
What a waste.Open Controls+1 and I'm a Chelsea fan... Pointless signing!
Open ControlsWhat happened to all this financial fairplay stuff?
Open ControlsTerrible! Could mean Mata for Rooney happening
Open ControlsIf he can play RW it's what we need. Putting Mata out there is a waste of time. Qualify for FFP by letting people like Malouda, Paulo Ferreira, Yossi and other go.
Open ControlsRubbish. Chelsea make big losses every season
Open ControlsYep but you only have to show that you're making progress. You can still make a loss. Letting players on players on 80k+ leave frees up a lot as anything spent is spread over the years of the contract. i.e Willian 30m + 70k pw on 5 years deal means we're charged 6 for the move (covered by Maloudas 100k a week contract) and they wages are covered by the others.
Open Controls
Snodgrass going down tonight?
Open ControlsChrist if Willian goes to Chelsea I think I'll avoid them altogether - was planning on keeping either Hazard or Oscar but think it'd be too risky now. Don't think you'd confidently be able to give any Chelsea player the armband which is what I'd want from a 9m+ player
Open Controlsall about the fat one
Open Controls
Joe Root, what are you doing mate...?
Open ControlsWhich two to start from Turner, Collins & Kim?
Thanks.Open ControlsTurner and Collins, both could get cs whereas Kim is unlikely to do anything.
Open ControlsTurner & Collins.

Should I use my WC as I'm feeling very nervous, don't like the look of my team and thought maybe take advantage of price changes, Man city fixtures and performing players after GW1
or stick with what I've got ?
FOOLISHLY perhaps I've already done 2 transfers (-4)
Mignolet,
Zab, Ivan, Dawson
Mirallas, Barklay, Coutinho, Hazard, Kim
Soldado, Welbeck
Anelka -Turner (Car) - Chester, HarperOpen ControlsNot perfect, but not bad.... no way should you wildcard.... prices are quite stable. Patience!
Open Controls
Good to go for this week?
....................Boruc...................
Clyne.............Zab...........Shaw
Mirallas....Silva...Arfa...Coutinho
Dzeko...........RVP.......Soldado(c)
Bench, Whitakker, Barkley, CollinsOpen ControlsToo much Southampton at the back for my liking!
Open ControlsToo much Southampton defence 1 goal ruins you...
Open ControlsI know I am taking a chance but one CS also gives me 18+ points 🙂
And at home to Sunderland thats a chance I am willing to take 😉Open Controls
Oh man thats a southampton gamble
Open Controls
2 for now
Open Controls
Anyone know what chance Jay Rodriguez has of starting this week?
Open Controlsdepends on Osvaldo form and acclimatization
Open Controls
Lambert, Dzeko, RVP, Walcot recommendations for captain?
Open ControlsWho else thinks Chelsea going for Willian will clear the way for a Rooney/Mata exchange?
Open ControlsMourinho denied that Mata was leaving in the press conference.
Open ControlsMe!
Open ControlsI do in spite of ^
Open ControlsI'm sure this will happen if he signs. Unless Mata wants to stay that is...
Open ControlsA lot of that theory all over twitter.
Open ControlsLooks like it, the Chelsea midfield is just far too congested and they need an out and out forward. Man United want a midfielder of quality, it makes sense but whether both clubs want to play ball is an entirely different matter. Once mondays game is out of the way things could escalate quickly.

Anelka > Andreas Cornelius next week......who's with me?
Cardiff fixtures gw3 onwards: EVE, hul, TOT, ful, NEW....
Nice warmup at home to City this week to get him sharp...Open ControlsMy team is so sexy
