The Man City defenders were shown up on Saturday, time to get rid me thinks ! Richards was muck.

Green got bonus pts as he scored a peno. I think theres 6pts for that alone.

Wasn't the game 0-0?!

Unearthly

I drafted in Agbonlahor for this week and made him my captain. He's in decent form and they play Derby next week.

Risk but I need a player who most don't have to get me back up there

I'm also considering puttin Gabby in, though maybe not as captain. Flog Torres for him and pocket the excess cash to get Drogba in next week.

Anyone thinking of splashing the cash on Lampard?

Can't you be more original

I'm thinking of buying Shevchenko, but not sure if he'll get enough game time. Chelsea have a pretty easy run for the next few game. I can't afford Drogba

Class midfield there chief but you are going to be struggling for clean sheets with those lads at the back.

Is that Carlton Cole up front?

Just transferred Gareth Barry out to bring him in. In fairness I only sold him in the first place when he was injured and started to drop in value.

If I were you KevIRL I'd drop Gerrard or Ronaldo from that midfield and spend the money elsewhere.

It is. Purely on West Ham's forward crisis at the moment. I have a mil in the

Basically Im so far behind in my leagues a gamble is needed, and this is it. It all hinges on picking the right captain every week though

Same prob as the rest of us

Juan Pablo

Injuries and out of form players have forced my hand, used the wild card with 11 changes! Team value had gone up to 103.6m so was able to assemble a dream midfield

Now have

---

GREEN

---

---- LAURSEN

---

ALEX

---

GABBIDON --

--- ARTETA - RONALDO - LAMPARD - ELANO - FABREGAS -

---

L. MOORE

---

C. COLE

---

--- NIEMI, CLICHY, DISTIN, JEROME

Just hope Moore starts against Derby tommorrow.

Smegball

Brilliant midfield but havty say bit of a dodgy strikeforce there

Unearthly

After bringing in Ferreira earlier in the week at the cost of 4 points, he goes and gets injured for 6 weeks

Lesson learned there

Grid.

Was just about to bring him in meself! Might take a chance on Bridge to try and gain some points, defence is Utd/Arsenal so could lose a hatful! Thinkin of pickin up Yobo to replace McShane as i'm hopin Everton keep a clean sheet!! Anyone know if Malouda is gonna play??

besty

Adebayor Out, Robbie Keane In
Richards Out, Martin Laursen In

KdjaCL

Anyone beating me with no transfers?

561 points?

Very impressive that. I'd probably be below 400 if I kept my original side

Oh theres a big bet on this, i am romping away with it.

but i never do transfers till xmas then all my subs gone.

Im gonna risk leaving evra in because he might get some assists . Hope he doesnt leak me points.

I've been saying that since the start of the year. Evra's useless this season for assists or goals. Getting a terrible return from him so I dropped him for Lescott.

Hes on 4 points atm Not great but not too bad. He was in the dream team for a good while though!?

machiavellianme

Typical, comes good as soon as I sell him. Same thing happened with Van persie and Lescott. Which is why I bought Lescott back and will pick Van Persie up again when he returns

You sold van Persie before his injury? He was never "bad".

machiavellianme

Yeah when he was dropped against Derby. Bought Adebayor because it was inevitable his value would go up. I'm aiming for the highest priced team by Christmas (dont ask why) but its currently worth ~108million. Van Persie returned to form a week later but got injured soon after. Twas a good time to get rid but I shouldve delayed by a week.

PHB

Rooney better get that goal and Ronaldo better get that assist, he's my captain. My policy of switching to defenders seems to have completely backfired considering nobody is keeping any clean sheets anymore.

machiavellianme

Another assist for Shorey. Xavi6 must be thrilled?

Ha ha you read my mind! Was just gonna post that. No doubt he'll go on to conced seven.

Chardee MacDennis

made 5 changes today but missed the deadline - 4 of those have scored including laursen

Xavi6

Apparently Shorey just barley missed with a free kick. Damn him!

machiavellianme

and now he's conceeded another one

Unearthly

My decision putting Gabby Agbonlahor captain spectaculary backfired :cool:

Ha so I see. I just can't change him for sheer entertainment value. It's the ultimate love/hate thing.

machiavellianme

I've had it with Lescott. Every time I drop him to the subs bench or sell him he scores. Whenever I play him they leak goals in the last minute. Everton are rubbish of late.

EDT:and a third conceeded for Shorey

I'm well aware of that

Dave!

Wow, Villa clean sheet and Laursen goal = 12 points for him. Thank you sir! And finally Utaka did something for me!

KevIRL

My wildcard with the midfield of dreams is paying off so far.

63 points from today.

3 players left to play as well

genericgoon

Kanu seems to have been usurped during his injury. Time to bring in a new striker methinks.

Necronomicon

Down 20 places to 41st. Need Elano to work some magic monday, and Richards to miraculously pull through.

yayamark

horrible weekend sofar i changed capt from fabs to keane. 2points:mad:

3players to play so heres hoping

Aye same here. It was a safe option more than anything as Derby can't score away from home.

Disappointed that Richards isn't playing. My first sub is Hreidarsson who was injured. My 2nd sub is Utaka who scored. My 3rd sub is Kelly who played the 90 but got 0 points. I presume because Richards is a defender Kelly will come in for him.

Nope Utaka will come in and your formation will just change automatically for this week. Lucky!

No he wont. Eirebhoy is right. Kelly will be in since you cant have less than 3 at the back. Since Hreidarrson is also a defender, I'm assuming you have a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-3 formation. Its Kelly coming in if you do.

Whats worse is if only 2 of your 5 defenders play, one of them will not be substituted

Ah yeah sorry. Forget he only had 3 at the back to start.

Unearthly

Gabby got 3 bonus points so wasn't that bad of choice after all :cool:

I still need a clean sheet from Dunne, Garrido, and Green to make this week respectable though
