        Back when I used to play NBA fantasy, John Wall was my favourite player to own. CP3 as well. Millsap was always a solid pick too, good for 15/10 on any night. Didn't realise Bledsoe was doing well, what do you know.

        This is my first attempt at NBA Fantasy, and i'm loving it. Plus i'm placed second now behind the Commish.
        
        You should spend some time on it, bud. You got a nice history with it 😉

        He was great when he was with the Cavs, although it was so frustrating that he couldn't seal the deal and bring home a championship. A great baller indeed. I'm sure he's fantasy gold.

Chico is a nob for getting that extra booking last week. Now I have to play Mertesacker or Ward this week. Both have crap fixtures and I don't want to take a hit for a defender. I guess Mert has a bigger goal threat so I have to select him right?

Christian Eriksen is back.
Worth monitoring for jan WC,I rated him better than ozil due to price difference.
At 7.1 player of his caliber is a steal and a viable 4th mid option with 3 big hitters in mid.

Lotta talk about Marshall / Speroni rotation at the moment.

In the spirit of Christmas giving, look what you get for the REST OF THE SEASON if you plumped for Marshall and Mannone (4.2!) any time from now:

WBROM
NOR
SOU
SUN
VILLA
WHAM
SOU
STOKE
NOR
HULL
VILLA
HULL
WBROM
FUL
CPL
nor (you don't want LIVERPOOL @ Home)
WHAM
CPL
EVE/sou (could be worse)
STOKE
CAR
new (or ManU Away - possibly better, lol)
SWA

Don't know about you guys, but that reads like a bedtime story.

I know it's Cardiff and Sunderland but both are capable of cleanies (remember Southhampton's clean sheet joke status at the beginning of last year before they became the new Stoke?) and if Mannone keeps his spot, he's a snip at 4.2 (Westwood @ 4.5 ain't the worst option either)

Sorry if this has been highlighted already, but I laghed out loud when I stumbled on this combo the other day.

I'm currently running Myhill Marshall which is pretty sweet till the new year but Foster waiting in the wings forced me to look for a myhill replacement. Santa suggested Mannone.

Merry Christmas

    I brought in Baker for villa's supposed dream run (they aren't a CS team like Hull or Crystal Pulis or Cardiff even) and I definately can't justify Guzan @ 5mil when I'm pretty sure that there can be no better run of fixtures for defenders and keepers than this one surely.
    Correct me if I'm wrong coz I did check most combos in this price range.
    If only Mannone vs. Westwood was clear of doubt.

        Possible bookmark for failure but seems like most teams have CS potential this season - even Crystal Pulis...who woulda thought that even three weeks ago.
        
        Home fixtures all season avoiding the top half of the table are as good as any reason for buying keepers and chaep defenders I reckon
