Malouda
Ethrington
Johnson
Drogba
Tevez
Torres (c)

Morzadec

Sorensen or Friedel to start?

speedboatchase

Carragher yeah? Strange choice...
Having said that I'm 46th in boards league so...
My team is Given, Dunne, Zhirkov, Evra, Valencia, Arteta, Malouda, Nasri, Tevez, Bent, Torres (c) with subs McCarthy, Knight and Mears.

Thinking of making no subs this week. Any thoughts?

Any word on Arteta and Songs' injuries??

I very much doubt we'll see Arteta in the final 5 games.... unfortunately...

Source?

Feck, I thought it was only a minor groin strain.

Vim Fuego

Who should I go with for captain? I've not been doing so great in recent weeks

PH4T

Milner is now down as doubtful. What's the story there?

PH4T

Lampard or Tevez as Captain?

cullenswood

Right have no idea what to do this week. Was leading all my leagues until a couple of weeks ago and have fallen badly since.

I am thinking of a couple of options and most involve two subs ( I have only one free but dont mind the four point hit) I could get Lamps in for Arteta, if I take Song out and bring in some other cheap defender.

Or I could bring in Malouda and maybe Valencia for Arteta and Rodwell.

or finally I could just get rid of Bendtner for one of Tevez or Adebayor and make do with the rest.

Would really love some opinions on this as its wrecking my head.


Thanks

Tough call. Tevez and Drogba are both on form. Maybe Drogba as Bolton at home could be another goal fest for Chelsea.

I have Lamps, Tevez and Torres - but I'm thinking of going with Malouda as captain, am I mad?

Not mad, just trying to gain a few points on others who go for Lampard, Tevez or Torres. Could work out, may not, its all crystal ball stuff.......

Not really Malouda is bang on form and is arguably Chelsea's best player at the moment.
I have Drogs, Lamps and Malouda and I'm finding it hard to decide. But with Lampard on penalty duties, his general tendancy to consistently score big and his current form, I'm finding it hard to look beyond him.

Obviously Drogba isn't a bad choice by any means either. All 3 have the capability to score double figures this week

Do you have any link for this?

I was planning on hanging on to him as I think he will score big when he plays, and EVertons final fixtures are very nice. But I may well consider taking a points hit to take him out this week if he's gone for the whole season

He was rested last week as he had or has an Achilles problem. He should play against Chelsea in the FA Cup and if he doesn't aggravate it should play against Everton the following Wednesday.

Never mind that. Physioroom and premierleague.com say he's doubtful for the next game. That says to me there is a chance he will play. He only has a Groin injury. Chances are he wont play this week but hopefully he'll be back next week. I've yet to see anything that says otherwise. If he's not coming back next week I'll get rid of him then I'd say.

Torres, Drogba, Tevez or Lampard as captain'???

Tusky

Important week for me in my head to head league. Would love some advice on a potential substitute or two ?

Was thinking of selling Milner and Duff and bringing in Malouda and Etherington ? Although Villa have a double gameweek coming up...

daithijjj

We have very similar teams tusky. I seem to remember the last villa dgw x2 not working out for alot of folk, i have 2 villa defenders myself anyway so would be silly to sub them, i wouldnt bring in any either tbh. Im gonna be toying with the choice of captain like many will, gettin to the stage of tossing a coin.

Gotta love that front 3, I have em as well...Who to captain though?!

1mcampo1

I'm sticking Malouda captain v Bolton at stamford bridge....hopefully it'll pay off!

Mezcita

In Frank we trust.

JPA

5: Nasri

6: Milner

7: Arteta

8: Gera

9: Bendtner

10: Drogba

11: Tevez

I have these 7 in my team but can upgrade any of them for anyone with the money in my bank? What is recommended?

Well I just sold Milner for Kuyt, either going to epic fail or quality move

V.similar alright. What substitutions have you made this week ?

Thinking Lampard or Drogba as captain.

daithijjj

Brought in johnson for rosicky and etherington for diaby (when i thought stoke had 2 games). But not fussed on the -4, diaby has been doing nothing for quite a while and has been a sub mostly with lee in the team instead, they have both gone quiet. Still got 1mil in the bank.

shovelsfc

is worth getting in lampard?? i already have malouda and drogs!

Mr.Nice Guy

Think I'll go with Gerrard as captain home to Fulham. Need a good week as I've had a terrible spell of late.

Earthhorse

Made a rake of changes this week. Should have had 0.8m left after the spend.

Click Make Transfers
Click Play Wildcard
Click Confirm Transfers

Player values have changed, please reconfirm transfers.

Now have 0.6m left in bank. Damn you, Fantasy Football, you thwart me even at 2am on a Saturday, damn you straight to hell.

Lex Luthor

can see Birmingham holding City to a low score today.

Chelsea players all the way for Capt this week.

D'ya think or are you just putting the doubt in our minds and secretly have Tevez as your capt!!!:D:cool:

Think I'll end up flipping a coin at this stage.....

shovelsfc

sold dunn for adam johnson! tough games after this week but he should be involved in everything city does till the end of the season!

I hate that I looked at my subscribed threads at 11:31.. Completely forgot to do my team.
Only 4 behind in this month in work after last week and then I do this

v3ttel

I hope I don't regret not Captaining Drogba. I didn't want to risk him being on the bench like he was against Villa (while Lampard cleaned up all the points), and against United were he was on bench warming duty too.

I've just transferred out the only outfield player I've had all season... Evra

Same here with Drogba, went against my gut and picked Lampard.

Sherifu

KittyeeTrix

Went with Drogba instead of Tevez......

Final team - fingers crossed!

Whenever I go against my gut instinct, I'm usually wrong too. Delighted I bought Torres as all of my rivals have him, most of them have him as Capt. Ideally I wanted Huth instead of Faye, but Ricketts lost 0.1 in value, so I couldn't afford it.

Jimmy Iovine

Nice to see I've moved up 47 places despite not getting a single point. Hopefully this luck will keep with me for the rest of the week now

SantryRed

Torres out injured

Mr. Incognito

No Torres.

No Evra.

Going to be a week for deep benches. Mascherano and Jerome going to come in for me. Tevez as captain.

bench for kuyt today

v3ttel

Got rid of:

Evra - 0 points
Bent - 2 points

For:

Faye - 6 points
Torres - 0 points

Broke even with the points hit. Torres not playing means that one of my rivals has Alexander coming off the bench though.

Stargal

Got 6 points from Kilbane (despite conceding 4(!) goals), 7 from Sorenson, and Craddock is going to come off the bench for Torres and bring in another 6 points, so that's not too bad so far considering wasn't expecting anything from those defenders.
