Cue,Harte getting 6 points & Southampton conceding 6 over the 2 games:pac:

Left Clyne out,too dodgy depending on Saints players for points.

Asked in another thread but no answer yet...Gibbs or Demel?

I put Bunn in goal today as he is home to Newcastle and left Begovic on the bench as I have 3 Chelsea players and expect them to get a return. However, knowing how things go Begovic will play a blinder making 12 saves, keep a clean sheet and score a stoppage time winner :-P

I went with both. Who are your other defenders?

Luiz,Clyne & Martin. Currently have a back 3 of Luiz,Martin & Demel.

Gibbs for me,City aint won at Arsenal since 1975 so stats suggest a possible good show for Arsenal defenders.

Ya have me fuzzled again over Clyne/Harte......damn DGW!

Well if you are talking about a straight swap between Demel and Gibbs and you can afford it I'd go Gibbs and go Luiz, Clyne & Gibbs.

Newcastle haven't won a game in aeons & even though Norwich have had a poor run,I have a feeling they'll hold out for a clean sheet so tempted to stick with Martin.

The DGW has clouded a lot of people's minds,Saints are sieve like at the back also.

Oops, sorry. I completely forgot Martin. I put Bunn in goal myself for that same reason!!! Luiz, Martin, Gibbs then.

My double gameweekers are Shaw, Cahill, Puncheon & Lampard as Captain!

Think DGW's are overrated when it comes to smaller sides. Wouldnt be overly tempted by Southampton players this week, or West Ham the following week.

Double your chance of goal, assist or clean sheet, not over rated IMO.

2 hattricks for him this week so.

Southampton will probably get murdered at Chelsea IMO. And I cant see West Ham doing much at the Emirates when they have their DGW coming up.

Definitely good to have Ba, Mata etc but I wouldnt pick rubbish defenders just because they have 2 games.

I remember picking a Reading defender who had DGW over Clyne before Xmas, Clyne got more pts in that one game then my Reading lad in two. Looking at the opposition is key.

Van Persie is most captained and most vice-captained this week.

No surprises with that really, people playing safe this week with top side playing each other.

thing as though alot of those are 'sleeper' players, who haven't touched their team in weeks, if not months. i wouldn't be surprised if Mata is the most selected amongst regular players of the game

I agree. Sure 51% of people in this weeks poll on here said Mata. And we're number 5 in the world :-)

Ah i must have missed that! Were not in the top 5 anymore anyway!

If you go the status tab tab when logged in and scroll down to the bottom of the page you see the top 5 scoring leagues in the world (i think they base it on the average of the top 5 teams in each league). Boards.ie was recently no. 5 but i see now we've dropped outside the top 5

Stupid time zone differece. Never got the chance for a last minute puzzler as to whether to bring Puncheon in for Walcott, Michu or Fellaini. Back to bed so. Mata better go nuts. Ba with his tight hamstring can sit both games out. That would be a good weekend.

I know, thats why i said "what" i didn't see us in there... although still good to know we were in there previously i didn't realise! I never really check that status page for much bar injuries!

I did exactly the same. Newcastle have no Ameobi, Cisse, Ba! and I'm hoping might struggle to score. Norwich aren't the worst at home

so theres a lad just above me in my money league, he had 3 chelsea players but then ba signed for chelsea so he has 4. All 4 are in his team this week! this cant be correct. i thought 3 players per team
