Begovic
S Taylor

Mata
Nolan
Carzola(vc)
Long
Berbatov

Kept faith with carzola last week when all others were dropping him and he rewarded me. Hopefully he will again.

Id have any of your subs over Clyne. If you exclude the one game he scored, he has one of the worst points per game ratio of any player. 0 clean sheets, and his average is less than 1 PPG. He's only got more than 1 point ONCE and hasn't kept a clean sheet!

I try to avoid having my forwards and defenders playing against each other tbh.
I see your point but whatever chance he has of getting a few points it has to be at home

This is a really, really bad way of looking at it (I'm guilty of doing it my first few seasons). I can guarantee its a bad long term strategy, you're trying to maximise your points haul by hitting the perfect 11, this is not the way too look at it. You need to look at each player individually.

Honestly, change Clyne, He is a distant fourth behind the other three, its not even close...

+1

His 7 points were invaluable last week,made the difference between green & red arrows for me.

RVP as captain today & Fellaini as VC.

Have both Hangelaand & McCauley away but my other options are Clark & Nelsen who I have no faith in to keep clean sheets.

God dammit last minute indecisions...

Lads, Bale and Lambert for Felliani and Ba...? Opinions?

I would bench him but it is a tough call. He is a great goal threat and Newcastle are missing Collocini.

Thats the problem with having 5 very good midfielders, makes it very hard to pick which one to drop each week as you will more than likely always play your 3 strikers.

This is what I'm going with this week.





It looks as if both my keepers are out of action. I would've had to take a points hit to get a new keeper in but I decided against it.

Jussi
Baines Rafael Shawcross
Mata Pienaar Cazorla Michu
RVP(c) Lambert(vc) Ba

Mignolet Sterling Figueroa Cuellar

8-10

Begovic

Clark-Williamson-Nelsen

Bale-Hazard-Cazorla-Routledge

RVP(c)-Suarez-Jelavic(vc)

Weak at the back I know! Williamson should play instead of Collocini right?

Stuck at 13:14 for me. That update a few months ago has been rubbish, it doesn't scroll for me either when the tab isn't open, click back to it after a while and there's a frenzied flurry of gibberish

giroud sounded like walcott assist

manual_man

Walcott took the corner

mailburner

confirmed

took the corner and giroud did the rest

omniscient_toad

Arsenal rather out character there, outplayed for ten minutes, take the lead with a thumping header from a set piece.
