Hart out this week, crap, i'll put trustee Shay in to bat away the rockets of Anelka.

Why not just have Schmeichel as your sub keeper?

Third_Echelon

Transferred out SWP and Defoe. I don't know if Defoe will play this weekend and he hasn't done much lately anyway (same with SWP)...

Took the 4 point hit and brought in Anelka and Ireland.

I reckon lampard will play, so I'm going to gamble on that, but I'll remove him as captain. Give that to Anelka as I reckon he'll score against the barcodes.

Team for this weekend:

---

James

---

---

Evra

---

Bosingwa ---- Laursen ----

Ireland -- Barry -- Lampard -- Arteta -- Duff --

---

Bent

---

Anelka (c)

Cunning on the Lampard thing - might use this especially given all of Chelsea's midfielders are nearly fit again. Also I cant see Chelsea continuing to score such big wins i.e I think they might be due a couple of one-nil wins as opposed to the five-nil ones which will cut down on Lampard's points.

Ditching Lampard is complete madness. He has consistently been scoring goals in this league for years now.

Currently has the highest amount of bonus points in the league (21). Finally, Chelsea are outscoring everyone at the moment and Lampard is guaranteed to start every game assuming he is fit.

FutureGuy

Ronaldo or Anelka as captain...there's a decision to make! United away to Villa, Chelsea at home to Nooocastle.

Silver-Tiger

berbatov confirmed out now,
think ill swap him for keane,

use the remaining monies to but liv defender

I think 3 liverpool players over next few weeks are essential imo

doonothing

Defoe, Berbatov and Lampard are out? Are you kidding me? What am i meant to do now!!!

Mezcita

Think Lampard will play.

When it appears that The Arsenal is in turmoil, that is the worst time to play us, easy win for Arsenal.

Keane is a also slight doubt according to physiotable.com.

JPA

Anelka or Ronaldo as Captain?

Frisbee

Had Le Sulk as captain but with all the turmoil in the Arsenal camp I've given it to Ade. Reckon Citeh vs Arsenal will be a goalfest...


cue 0-0 draw...

Strange conclusion to come to.
Gonna go with anelka I think, in his best form for many years and hopefully Ronaldo will have a quiet game. (fingers crossed)

eirebhoy

Gonna go with Bentley as captain against his old club.

Did Adebayor not get injured midweek?

Defoe not starting,not even on the bench!:(

Lamps is starting as is Malouda.

menoscemo

Adebayor not in Arsenal squad.

Mr.Nice Guy

Nooooooooooooooooo!

I made Defoe my captain and he's not in the squad?! Adams you said he just had cramp. YOU SAID HE JUST HAD CRAAAAAAAAMMMPPPPPP!

OPENROAD

No Wayne Bridge

genericgoon

Definitely a weekend for having a decent bench it seems.

Im_No_Superman

Feck I left Bent on the bench by accident and second choice on the bench at that! Watch him go score a hatrick now!

Trampas

Steinsson scores for me

Gone for a 5 man backline.

I notice scors are not updating during the game :mad:

LOL.

Trampas

like their servers can't take it

JPA

Ireland scores. Points for all!!

Xavi6

Superman once again

darkskol

swapped swp for ireland this week good choice I think...although kept Defoe thinking he would play

Trampas

scores updated now

Trampas

Goal robinho.

3 goals so far

Robinho, Ireland and Steinson

DmanDmythDledge

Holy Trinity of Ireland, SWP and Robinho deliver once again. Anelka fails to deliver as captain.:( 42 points before Ireland's bonus with VDS, Barry, Arteta and Bent still to play.

OPENROAD

Only 2 of my defenders played today from my squad, will I still get points for my striker sub?

JPA

I thought Hart was out for weeks, benched him and put in Turnbull.

roryc

Reina (7), Arbeloa (6), Bosingwa (6), Ireland (8), Sidibe (6), Zayatte (4)... Lampard and Geovanni let me down... and Im sick I subbed out Robinho for Anelka!!

Still Ronnie as Captain and Laursen to play now, and Zaki tomorrow... hopefully hit 50-60... all depends on Ronnie though

Nope, your team has to have at least 3 defenders so one defender will be in the team with 0 points if only 2 played.

Why did you bench him in the first place? I could maybe understand benching a player after a relatively long injury because he may come off the bench and get you 1 point. But benching Hart was a bit foolish. If he didn't play he'd be subbed automatically anyway.

Frisbee

Adebayor as Captain = Epic Fail!

Ya I know but Hart had the tougher opposition today anyway.

sionnach

Poor performance by midfielders and forwards but clean sheets for all my defenders and goalie, should break 50

Im_No_Superman

A dissapointing 42 but a good result for Wigan Monday night and Ill hopefully break the 50 barrier.

titan18

36 points with Bentley,Bent,Cisse and Zaki to play

genericgoon

41 with Zaki and Howard to play. This is going to be a bad week.

I can relate. I f*cked up my captain selection for the second week in a row.

36 points with just Jenas, Figueroa and Valencia to play. Looks pretty grim unless I can get a goal from one of them.

Xavi6

46 with bonus points to come for Ireland and Robinho at least. Happy enough seeing as Ronny fecked over everyone.

KevIRL

Bonus points are in

Only got some for Schwarzer (3) and Lampard (1) though

44 in total with Zaki to play

Mr. Incognito

mm the debate was Bosingwa or Ronnie for captain. Still though can never take it from Ronnie.

63, with Zaki to make a comeback tomorrow.

I should be climbing anyway. Low scoring week, this is where 5 top defenders comes into it's own, and bonus points for vidic and laursen,

Trampas

67 for me. the bonus points in boro vs bolton game are crazy. none for steinnson :mad:

roryc

My defense was rock solid today, got 30 points from my back 5, could have been more if I'd included L.Young.

I've almost 60 points with Zaki to play tomorrow... I actually hope he stays injured, I've Sidibe as first sub and he got an 8 pointer

Thinking of getting rid of Zaki tbh, but I only get 6.6m which is about 0.5m less than his current transfer price...

FutureGuy

A very meh 41 today, with Bent and C. Cole left to play. Anelka as captain didn't work, but Ronaldo didn't do a whole lot either. My defense of Arebola, Bosingwa, VDS and Agger did most of the scoring.
