Gunners too much for 10 man City, Liverpool beat Big Sam but stay in the drop zone and Little Pea shows his class. Here’s the rest of this gameweek’s Scout Notes…

I hate the way lampard is protected. It means if he ever gets back on form you will still have to pay 12.7 for him when you could get him at a much cheaper price if he wasnt protected.
Open Controls
+1, i looked forward to buying him at 12.3/4 mil
Open Controls
Nasri or Fabs?
Open Controls
If fabs is going up tonight then I need to get him in (have exact pennies)...unless Malouda is goes up this week too?
Open Controls
From what I've understood Adam only got a cut in his leg and Elmo suffered a knock and no ligament damage. To go around telling people these two players are out injured is nonsense.
Open Controls
Whose doing that? I have both and im sitting on the edge on my chair, especially since i also have tevez/Alex.
My season could be derailing...Open Controls
regarding addition of FABREGAS in squad , i had a headache now
my midfield and forward line look like this.
ARTETA NANI VDV ADAM MALOUDA
CAROLL TEVEZ BERBA
HAving 2 free transfers This week , who should i transfer out for FABREGAS ???Open ControlsMalouda is the obvious choice imo. my front 8 is exactly the same excpet fabs for malouda and drogba for tevez
Open Controls
Do I play krul or foster?
sunderland are poor away but it being a derby game there will surely be an attacking threat from them.
also villa have only scored 1 goal at home this season.Open Controls
Logic dictates to play the player who is at home. To be honest though I wouldnt expect either to keep a clean sheet this GW
Open Controls
So I got rid of Gerrard the other night and brought in Fabregas and made a healthy 0.1M profit on Gerrard in the process :P. My plan was to get rid of Bale and bring in Arteta too this week but I'm having second thoughts.
Moyes seems pretty confident Arteta will be fit for saturdays game but the question is will he start? Besides, I have a good feeling about Bale away at Man U and after that Spurs' got a few decent fixtures coming up. Bale's price keeps falling aswell and I would hate to miss out on any profit.
Gah, the decisions.Open ControlsWith the uncertainty regarding Arteta's fitness I would have to say no.
Open Controls
scary arteta facts:
in his last 20 games he's only got 2 assists.
in the 3 'easy' fixtures this season he's got 2,2,2.
good points:
8 goals in his last 20 games
despite not really catching fire he's still averaging about 5ppg.
with under 5% ownership he's a differential
STK, blp, BOL - 3 defences with hardly a clean sheet between them.
his wife is a goddessOpen ControlsSo is mine....
Open Controlsgood point about the wife- I just looked her up. wow
Open ControlsThks.
Open Controlsthat was to AB. I couldn't find your wife, Inalize 😉
Open ControlsCheck my gravar buddy.
Open ControlsI wish, I'm 40 and that's the mother of my children.
Open Controls
Ah. Gravatars don't show up at work (access denied). I'm flying blind here!
Open Controls
any aston villa fans on here. who is on penalties for the villa now? Young/Downing/carew?
Open Controls
Is Fabregas going to go up soon or is he still 'protected'?
Open Controls
So what about Tevez? Are we likely to get any more news regarding his injury or are we assuming that he is ok after Mancini's comments?
I need to hit the button on my transfers today.Open Controls
i have enough cash to do a straight swap: gerrard >> fabs
Is this the transfer to make this week..or do i go gerrard >>nasri and look to use the cash elsewhere? I think i still need some tweaks in my squad and leaving myself with 0.1m in bank might make that difficult.
anyone got any advice for me please?Open Controlsdo the swap
Open Controls
fabs or nani as captain this weekend?? will tevex be fit this weekend?
Open Controls
who to axe? konchesky ot shawcross?
who to sign? odemwingnie or dembele (or..elmander)?Open ControlsI'd axe Shawcross based on fixtures. I have the same 2 and am ditching Shawcross.
Neither can keep a clean sheet at the moment so I'd go purely on fixtures.Open Controlsgood enuf for me. cheers
Open Controls
Odemwingie is a good differential, has a decent run of fixtures and has had a nice rest. Emander has Liv Tot everton in next 4 games. Odem all the way.
Open Controlsfair enuf, rules out elmander so
i remember watching dembele and thiinking he was absolute quality!Open Controls
Mummy (Derby @ St James'), Salcido (Home to wigan)
Malouda, Nani, Bale, Nasri, VDV
Odemwingie, Tevez, Chamakh.
Which 2 do I leave out for gameweek 10? I'm thinking Mummy- Newcastle will be fired up for this + after a good result + home advantage). My head says bench Odemwingie (Blackpool away- just coming back from injury) but my heart says bench VDV (V united away). I thought of Bale but after the disaster United had at right back V Stoke and Bales form it'd be tough to leave him out.
So, who to leave out;
(1) Mummy & VDV
(2) Mummy & Bale
(3) Mummy & Odemwingie
(4) Salcido & VDV
(5) Salcido & Bale
(6) Salcido & OdemwingieOpen Controls
right!! WC card time? whats can people post what they think are the must haves and some good differentials???
Open ControlsMust Haves:
Fabs Nani VdV(maybe)
Drogba(maybe)
Differentials:
Arteta
Gerrard(everyone's getting rid)Open Controls
i wildcarded last week and this is my team, got 70 points not bad. very happy with my team, will last for very long. only going to do gomes to schwarzer this week
Open Controls
Blackpool vs West Brom, Monday night.
I can see this being a high scoring game, quite tight, neither side keeping clean sheets, 2-2 draw at least. If we take Arsenal out of the equation, would anyone captain Adam?Open Controlsno imo. take his points as a bonus and captain a 'big gun'
Open Controls
I need a £4m keeper that isn't Carson.
Who is the best option... Mignolet or Al-Habsi?
I know neither are great, but who is most likely to keep their place. Mignolet seems to be keeping Gordon out currently but will it continue?
Al-Habsi has been No.1 but couldn't play at the weekend so will this mean kirkland could regain the spot?Open ControlsKrul
Open Controls
i think both mignolet & al-habsi are under threat from gordon/kirkland
i'd go for krul, as harper is still injured for a while yetOpen Controls
The Mig won't be dropped. You can't replace someone who has kept 3 clean sheets in a row and is apart of the second best defence in the league.
Saying that i expect something like 1 cleanie in the next 4 for him.Open Controls
its too risky! he's a good differential at the moment!
Open Controls
Afternoon lads,
I am thinking on doing the first 8 point hit this season. And I have 0.0 m budget to maneuver. The possible trades and reasons:
- Malouda - Fabs - this was discussed a lot so we could skip this topic easily. I mean that the captain is most important in the FF so be it.
- VDV out Nasri in - VDV has mun and bol next and Nasri has two very promising games. Plus VDV has CL fixtures where he must play so he could be rested at some point. Nasri technically could be rested also, but Arsenal are safe in CL so I think he surely will play in premier league. He is in incredible form, joint with Arsenal side so there could be goal fest in the next 2 and the Wolves game. So I will give 4 point advantage to VDV. I think they can be earned back from Mr. Nasri.
- The last transfer is Konchesky out Jags in - I am not assured of Coleman starting role and jags has started with the bonuses. In next 6 they play 4 at home and Liv are conceding from everybody literally, so this 4 points could be back in 1,2 fixtures IMO. Plus Jags is keeper.
I appreciate opinion. This transfers will be done around Tuesday/Wednesday because I am short on cash. The only thing that worries me in this plan is Tevez injury. But I am way ahead in my mini league and wiling to take some risks.
Cheers,Open Controls

Nice try there!Open Controlsdam u

will that have any affect on his game?
Open Controlsnah- this was a minor offense. boys will be boys.
Maybe the assault on the ex-girlfriend might be more troublesome...but he prob doesnt careOpen Controls

Hello everyone, I'm Coops, and I make too many transfers, help me!
Open ControlsI want it man, but I want it now, not next week, or the week after!
Open ControlsI could run a course on this, but I'd need 100% commitment!
My track record of not making too many transfers is very good.Open ControlsThis is what im dealing with at the minute:
Hart/Carson
Cole/Bosingwa/Coleman/Salcido/Babtiste
Nasri/Walcott/Van Der Vaart/Etherington/Nzogbia
Tevez/Berbatov/Drogba
Where do we go from here?Open ControlsCoops.
That is a bloody good team. Have you made any transfers so far this week? Did you make any last week?
To quote Nick Cave, Where do we go now but nowhere? You just sit back and wait for the deadline to approach before you do anything at all!Open ControlsI made my transfer for this week on saturday. Wilshere for Walcott. After reading some of the posts on here though I fear Nasri and Walcott may not get on the pitch much together. If you were picking 11 from that squad for gameweek 10 wat would they be?
Open ControlsListen my new found friend. Transfers on Saturday is the road to destruction for you if you have a problem of making too many transfers. Stop looking at the 0.1 here and there and make do with what you have.
I think the Walcott gamble could pay off, you just wait now and hope it does since you've already made the transfer. Team is good, don't make any more transfers this week. I strongly suggest that you make it a habit to not even look at transfers before thursday or friday.
Hart
Cole, Bosingwa, Coleman
Nasri(C), Walcott, VDV, NZogbia
Tevez, Berbatov, Drogba
Subs: Salcido, Ethers, BaptisteOpen Controls
Haha this is my favourite convo iv ever seen on this site. I love you both

Open Controlshow many transfers have u made this season?
Open Controls
what price rise site better total fpl or fiso?
and worth taking in both nasri and fabs for nxt few gameweeks.Open Controlssurely Fabs is still protected?
Open Controls
hi guys
my team is
carson/stockdale
j.oshea/dann/elmo/r.johnson/tamas
Nasri/Van.der.vaart/Malouda/Bale/Adam
Berbatov/Drogba/Tevez
adam/tamas and depending on fixture one birmingham defender or oshea on bench
is there any where i could improve (i know keeper area is week)
thinking of foster , but relying of birmingham too much then.
stockdale is injured (any decent replacements?)
i have .3 in the bankOpen ControlsEverybody buy Malodua he is best scorer, what r u waiting? He is great captain choice even better that Drogs. He need to rise 0.1 by Thursday. Come on lads pull the trigger. 🙂
