Fulham away is a tough fixture, granted. Alex Mcleish was a negative manager throughout his whole time at Birmingham. You might say, OK he's gone to a bigger and better team so he'll change his tactics... I doubt it, that's his style, it would be like Allerdyce playing pass and move football because he's at a better club.

They should score goals against WBA and Norwich, no doubt about it and Darren Bent can never be a bad choice, but to say that people don't have a clue is wrong.

It's largely a result of people regurgitating the dross that other people have spouted.

Sort of agree with you here, but I would still be worried about N'Zogbia (not so much Bent). McLeish is more negative, and N'Zogbia had no idea what he was doing - I would wait for him to find his feet, especially when you have Yaya at a similar price and so many cheaper options that are safer.

Lampard is my captain this week, so I agree there isn't a worry about him not bombing forward.

Am I one of them?

Agree totally Nedved. Got both N Zog and Bent, Yaya and Hiralio and A cole. One game is no time at all to judge players.

I just look at the advice of people i recognise...saves a lot of time.

Yaya is a stat demon, he rakes up ICT, PPI, Opta, whatever they throw at him as he charges into the opposition box. Anyone who says otherwise is wrong, as you say.

Didn't see the lampard game, but his price tag puts me off. Shame I'd have been all over him like a NOTW reporter over Princess Di's mobile if he'd have been a little cheaper (10.5 would have been lovely).

N'Zogbia and Bent is overkill as Villa played weak sides in pre season and weren't exactly scoring loads. Bent is as much coverage as you need as he will be scoring most the goals anyway.

WBA and Norwich are both attacking teams and more likely to score against Chelsea than the likes of Newcastle, Stoke and Blackburn, imo...I wouldn't fancy them to keep 2 clean sheets even with Cech in goal.

Lampard was unlucky not to score even though he had 0 shots?

yeah agreed. as soon as someone states a fact like "lampard is playing deep" people who might not watch the games will just run with this information until told otherwise. thus you get other people who see this info and continue to give it as advice to other players not knowing themselves if its true or not...

You may think you are helping other players with this sort of advice when in fact you are just giving false info. Just something to be careful about and don't just take someones word for it, try to find out yourself..

+lots

from that above lot...Moses i reckon

ruddy to hilario for chelsea defensive coverage for only 0.5m,i'd downgrade young to n'zog for funds to do Aj to saha, looking good then

Torres for me.

Silva or Toure if you don't have Man City. Out of those 3 I'd go Young.

basically man city or fulham more chance of clean sheet against bolton an wolves?

My problem with him is, last season in the PL:

Appearances 25
Goals 3

I do think he'll come good again 1 day though, but maybe not while he's on the wing.

he is kind of on the wing though isn't he?

i have him as my punt of the week played well against fulham and looks likely to feature in Mcleish's plans. prob is he does play out wide rather than alongside bent

I agree he's cheap. That's as far as I'll go.

Nope, well done.

My major problems:
Tiote and Dyer

My minor problems:
I'm doubting you have 0.5m around to transfer Hilario when he stops being the Chelsea number 1.
You have Moses, Tiote and Dyer - that's not even rotatable.
I'm not sold on Cahill, but I could be wrong.

Yes, no, yes

But based on your name,

Yes, Yes, Yes

Would be a bonus magnet - but even that's beyond him now ...

Adam

Yeah I like it ... I would be tempted by Bosingwa for Lescott though but you can't please everyone!

downgrade baines to cole, upgrade brown to young(everyone has Given so u will get twice the amount of points of your rivals when he gets a clean sheet). downgrade young to Nzog (villa easy fixtures)..upgrade silva to malouda(risky but chelseas home fixture...need i say any more)

Fletcher looks like a good bet to get a few goals this season but chelsea's next couple of fixtures are too juicy for me to pass up Hilario instead of begovic surely?

i have .5m in the bank

I wouldn't pick any of those players. Rooney? Cole? Torres? Who are these jokers?

Which Simpson? If it's Bart, captain him. Full of energy, that lad.

My team is directly above yours. I think my midfield looks better personally. Otherwise your team balance is good (maybe a little too much in defence for 3-4-3). If you're not playing Moses against Swansea, do you really need him?

Vorm, Young, Cole, Bad K, Enrique, Barton, Malouda, Jarvis, Zoggers, Roonpig, Graham = boot, boot, boot.

Apart from that, I quite like it 😉

Just make the subs.

Hilario/Ruddy is a ridiculous combination in my opinion. Screams wild card in two weeks. Aguero not 100% fit AND his world beating performance was at home to Swansea don't forget. Better options for the short term out there in my opinion. Ferguson is a waste because he won't play. Would you have picked Formica and Larsson before they scored last week?

i would not have silva and aguero

one or the other imo

Only problem is...it's newcastle...

He'll take some of the set pieces too ... but even in my biased opinion, I think there's better value out there at £6.0:

Sinclair, O'Hara, (Sessegnon £6.5), arguably Barton

Was he on set pieces too FB? £1.5 short myself and vowed not to mess with it any more. 🙂

Upgrade Moses for me. Dyer is there to be a cheap player to sit on your bench. Nice team BTW.

Just can't see the point in having coleslaw in the fridge when there's so many better choices out there.

Coleslaw provides much needed moisture to my sandwiches, most days of the week.

Where do you stand on Tuna, Soop?

Tuna soup I hear you cry? Surely not!

Coleslaw is nasty. Whoever the **** invented it should be lynched if they aren't dead already and if they are dead i hope it was something particularly nasty like syphillis thatsorted them out.

Today I think I'go with Cheese & Piri- Piri sauce

Exciting times aint it?

and the alternative is my usual nonsense. Rock and a hard place!

boring isnt it...i havent done one RMT, so proud.

people are weak and need reassurance.

Just one more day 😉 (well if FPL don't decide to f*ck it up again)

Im not quite sure what enjoyment u can get from this game if u need other people to pick players for u? Surely its better to go with your own instincts then when it come off, least it was your own work.

I wouldnt want to bench Sessegnon or Holt this week ... maybe your team is ... too strong?

Look down you've probably shit ypurself

Warm fuzzy feelings are good. They often mean sweets are near.

Experience tells me to get my team sorted out now.

Change it then since u have unlimited transfers
