Anyone heard anything on Boswinga? Heard he picked up a knock on his knee with Portugal in training.

Heard a rumour that Scolari wanted him rested and used his old Portugal contacts Probably sh1te but i fully expect (hope) he plays at the weekend.

Whats the story with Green at West Ham - is he fit? heard he pulled out of the England Squad

Injuries ruined me this week - Green, Boswinga??, Sagna, Robinho & Zaki - disaster

SickBoy

What's wrong with Zaki?

Charlie

Really got butt fcuked this week with injuries. Skrtel, Cesc, Torres and Owen all out. Luckily I have a bit of depth on the bench, so it will be a straight swap of Torres -> Rooney and Cesc -> Frank. I should then line up as follows:

---

Kirkland

---

---

Beye----Bosingwa----Clichy

---

Ireland--Lampard--Gio--Bentley--Young

---

Rooney(c)

---

Zaki

---

Not too bad, but I had really earmarked this week as being a time to move on Bentley and Zaki. Oh well.

Sherifu

Thinking of getting rid of Corluka, Reina and possibly Zaki in the near future.

I'll have to keep an eye on the Bosingwa thing, hope he starts.

Jugs82

What's wrong with Zaki?

Link

Also, on the brilliant Fantasty Football Scout website - link - he's down as a major doubt

Thought it couldnt get much worse with injuries - then i hear that Fabergas is doubtful with a broken nose :mad:

token56

Dont think this week is going to be a good week. Decided to get ride of Zaki and get in Carlton Cole. Its freed up about 1.1 million too, but just have a bad feeling about this week.

Team is

---

Cech

---

--Bosingwa

---

Arbeloa

---

Laursen

---

Figeuroa-

---

Ronaldo(c)

---

Arteta

---

Denilson

---

---

Cole

---

Adebayor

---

Defoe

---

Subs: Schwarzer, Morrison, Little, Pele

Mr. Incognito

Petrov injured
Reid out for the season
Owen injured (surprise)

This gets better and better

Loco

Clichy for Agger
or
Fabregas for SWP

Which one would you guys do?!

Mr. Incognito

SWP

Chance that Hypia could come in instead of Agger with Agger being rested for Champions league.

You had Rooney and Lamps on the bench?:eek:

Mr.Nice Guy

Alright time to get back into the swing of this game.

Zaki out, Cisse in. I have a funny feeling he'll do well for Sunderland against Fulham. Then again that might just be gas. Ah well, let's see. :pac:

Im_No_Superman

After much deliberation Fabregas and Defoe out, Denilson and Rooney in.

Loco

Resting Agger?! Would of thought he would try and give him as much matchtime he could before CL.

Liverpool have Chelsea next too. Maybe i should go for Laursen?

That said, Man City's fixture list looks good

machiavellianme

ah no, Gallas out till november. I've now got 7 players for this weekend (including subs)

Dave!

A Young out -> Geovanni in
to give me cash for (not that it's a bad sub anyway)...
Zaki out -> Rooney in

I expect Rooney to start banging in the goals now; which means he will NOT

I coulda actually bought Ronaldo just there and maintained a decent team! But decided Rooney would be the better option. I am certain I will regret that, but oh well

Team........

---

James
Bosingwa

---

Evra

---

Distin

---

Ireland---Arteta---Wright-P---Geovanni

---

---Rooney(C)---Defoe----Berbatov

S.M.B.

Rooney and Berbatov up front? :eek:

That :eek: is not a "oh how i'd love those two in my team" and more a "that's surely madness" :eek:.

And to everyone selling Zaki, stop! I don't want his value to drop at the moment.

Anyone know of a website that will allow you to analyse past matches between two teams i.e. with Arsenal playing Everton this weekend, where I can select these two teams and it will show historical results and goalscorers?

You probably want more detail than this but if you go to the BBC's reports on the team news it will give you head-to-head records as well as the goalscorers from last season's corresponding fixture:

Thanks, no looking to be able to analyse home and away results over a few years, tks anyway.

Hmmm.I am in pickle.A Young or W Phillips to start?

My final team for tomorrow.There has been a lot of changes.

Cech or Schwarzer depening on fitness

Laursen Kompany Clichy

Ronaldo Lamps W Phillips Marney Denilson

Zaki Defoe

Brought in Lamps on a moment of madness.Took out Young and Arteta to accomodate him.Hopefully,it will pay off.

Boswinga is confirmed to start

Soby

lol

Just as I post it.He scores!:D

Pity my head to head has him in the team too.

machiavellianme

Zaki and Fabregas both start. Not as bad a week for injuries as I'd feared now.

Thrill

I've picked up 14 points from Chelsea's win, Lampard 8 and Boswinga 6. Hopefully a bonus point or two will be awarded to one (or both) of them later.

Mr.Nice Guy

Hmm my decision to transfer out Zaki isn't looking so good right now. :pac:

Kinda wish i'd captained him now :pac:

Didn't know about Cech

Charlie

Agreed. But his value was minimal in the leagues I concentrate on, as those I am challenging had him as well. They have also subbed him out this week. So, much of a muchness really.

Necronomicon

I keep thinking the Zaki bubble will burst, which is why I've yet to bring him in. Stupid really, since the name of the game is picking form players

Schwarzer to possibly collect 8 points!:O

pwd

2nd goal for kuyt. Just after taking him out to make room for ronaldo

Necronomicon

This game makes me cry sometimes. Not literally, but inside.

FFS! Why didn't I check boards last night!!

After reading that Zaki might not play I stuck him on the bench. Now I've got 10 points sitting on the bench.

I should've just left him there and if he didn't play he would've just been subbed. Bleedin game!!!

Cech being injured did wonders for me!:)

Is the Premier league websit down?

Mr.Nice Guy

I'll have Schwarzer come in for Cech who didn't play so that eases my Zaki pain somewhat.

pwd

i also removed walcott, who also just scored

Clichy is gone from my team.Evra or Boswinga?

Chelsea dont look like conceeding many this year. Even their sub keeper is better than VDS so you'll probably get as many if not more clean sheets with Boswinga. Bonus points/goals/assists are probably equally likely from both.

Mr.Nice Guy

I have both but I'd personally value Evra more as it seems to me Bosinwga is more likely to pick up injuries.

Mr. Incognito

I' have Clichy aswell. I think I'll sleep on whether to give him the chop or not. Long term having 5 defenders from different clubs is a decent strategy. I could kiss Zaki. He has single handedly wiped out my head to head opponent who had ade as captain. Hoefully he won't pick up bonus points again for doing NOTHING!.

tribulus

Zaki, what a hero, declares himself fit and then manages to score yet again!

I'm also quite pleased with myself for subbing out Almunia for Schwarzer.

35 points so far with Ronaldo(C) and Ferdinand to hopefully get a win and a clean sheet as well as 3 players left to play.

darkskol

Was about to get rid of zaki this week as I didn't think he was fit, good job I didn't!

Frisbee

Schwarzer to come in for Green which will give me 34 points with only Kompany and SWP to play..... disaster

Mr.Nice Guy

I've a question. I have Evra but he went off at 34 minutes with an injury and currently I only have 1 point for him. If United keep a clean sheet will he earn more points than this?
