Johnson's back too.

If anyone's gonna be dropped though it will be Elano, a la the Sunderland game.

Ronaldo as captain this week!

Charlie

Cesc as captain, bout time Hull get another tonking.

Are you sure Neil Ronnie will get more that 60 mins given his lack of fitness, and CL match this week?

He'll have wrapped up a hatrick with bonus points by then! :P

This better not be another "Walcottgate."

3 Everton players is dodgy but all are capable of goals.

99% sure he'll play in a midfield three with Kompany and A N Other

Jaysus, Green in goals is interesting. Obviously going for the shots saved bonus and not the clean sheet bonus

Am in two minds about Yakubu and Arteta. Not sure if they will be getting many points out of that game.

SWP as captain is defo a possibility for me though.. Decisions decisions.

Have been toying with putting Walcott in but I think it might be too early. Ronaldo as captain is interesting.

I've been trying to get rid of him for weeks but I don't wanna take a 4 point hit cause if my replacement doesn't keep a clean sheet then it's not worth it.

Final Team(hopefully)

Cech

Clichy Kompany Laursen

Ronaldo W Phillips Ireland Denilson Arteta

Adebayor(C) Zaki

I goty badly burnt in week 1 and 2 by that Lewis hamilton lookalike.

More than likely my starting 11:

---

Kirkland

---

---Bosingwa

---

Skrtel

---

Clichy

---

Cesc(C)

---

Ireland

---

Arteta

---

Young

---

Torres----Owen----Zaki

Torres really needs to start getting points on the board to justify his inclusion.

U know Walcott has a massive week in him but he keeps startin on the bench. Ronaldo cost me enough and its games like Bolton at home where he;s liable to get a hatrick + bonus points. Now he's gonna get me 1 point.

I had Green for the guts of last season, when west Ham were conceding buckets, but he racks up the points in saves, bouns, and pen saves. I would stick with, as for that price, you won't get much better.

Yep, he got a ridiculous amount of peno saves last season.

I had James because he was a points monster last season, but I've just brought Green in.

Thats a solid team, but I think we will be seeing less of Fletcher as we go forward. He has being playing well but most of Uniteds midfielders are back. I don't rate Corluka either tbh. Someone like Dunne from Man City would prob get you more points, given Spurs poor run of form.

Cheers buddy, thanks for the advice! I dunno why but I thought I was going to get roasted for asking anything like that... Anyways, looking forward to saturday

bUILDERtHEbOB

Evra in for Carvalho, I hope to god Clichy plays tomorrow too as my other defenders are very unlikely to get anything.

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Don't worry both Wenger and Clichy himself have said that he will be playing tomorrow.

Think i'm gonna try and stick it out with the team i have now despite my poor start and resist the wild card temptation for the moment. Fabregas and Torres have to get going fairly soon i reckon

Frisbee

I've had Green in since the start, he's always good for one or two points save bonus. Clean sheet not so much, but he's cheap as chips...

cech

Figuora clichy laursen

w phillips a young ronaldo Arteta Denilson

Zaki Adebayor

Thoughts?No doubt this team will change again before 11:30am

Xavi6

The problem I have with Zaki is that I can't see him sustaining that sort of form over the whole season. So that begs the question - who can come in and replace him at that sort of price? You're gonna be pretty limited.

Handsome Bob

What the hell happened to Joe Cole?:mad: I already took a 12 point hit, feck that, I'm just gonna play 4 defenders instead of 3.

KevIRL

Im pretty much settled on my team but wondering who to leave on the bench from

Ronaldo—Arteta—-Wright Phillips—A Young—-Denilson

Van Persie—-Zamora—-Zaki

One has to be left on the bench, one has to made capt. At the moment Wright Phillips is on the bench and Van Persie is capt. Thoughts?

I don't know, but I only just brought him in for the injured Deco

Edit: Sweet, because I used the wildcard I can still transfer him out for free.

Grrrrrrr....exactly the same. I just hope all of my first 11 plays because all of my bench is injured/suspended.

Necronomicon

A question to others who have brought Ronaldo back...putting him as captain this weekend? He should start, but I'm still not completely sure he will.

I would have left Zamora out.

Good potential, with a particulalry strong offense, whilst also have some quality at the back. However, I would question Anderson's inclusion. Holding players rarely score well in the fantasy, on top of the fact that he is not a guaranteed starter. There's plenty of good options at 6 mil to have a decent attacking mf.

The Gambler 101

i know hes the weakest link imo, it was a bias selection

ive cesc as captain

Mr.Nice Guy

I've gone with Tevez as my captain. A bit of a gamble alright but I reckon he could do well against Bolton.

Frisbee

Swapped Deco out for J Cole and now he's injured, brilliant!

Aha yes! Torres, Young and Bosingwa all in my team. Knew my patience would pay off eventually. Expect Fabregas and van Persie to be rampant later!

[edit]- ah bollocks im just after realising it was the champions league one i brought Bosingwa in

Dave!

Young + Bosingwa

Hmm, Rio/Lescott, Arteta and Berbatov or Figuero, Captain Ronaldo and C Cole.

Ronaldo was just gifted some points there.. Pain in the tits!

jesus_thats_gre

Oh look, United go on to score another with Ronaldo getting the assist.. you would swear that this **** is scripted...

Mr.Nice Guy

A dire day for me so far. A provisional 25 points with only four players still to come. I need a big performance from Arsenal and if they don't keep a clean sheet I'm f*cked.

genericgoon

Ronaldo as Captain. :D:D:D:D:D:D Plus I'm pretty sure there is some bonus points coming.

jesus_thats_gre

34 points with 4 to play - Denilson(c), Sagna, SWP and Zaki..

Tis a bloody shambles.. Won't be putting him in my team!!

bUILDERtHEbOB

I'm afraid to look at my team.

Frisbee

Didnt see any of the game but thought I heard one of the commentators on Setanta there say that Carew scored directly from a Young free kick. No points up for an assisat for Young though.
Anyone see the game?

No, it wasn't directly from the free-kick. From what I read, Petrov picked the ball up after Young hit the wall and crossed it to Carew.

Im_No_Superman

Ronaldo you beauty! 38 provisional points with Fabregas, Clichy, SWP, Kompany, Ireland, Zaki and Defoe still to play.
