Sturridge getting crocked completely threw a spanner in the works for me as I planned on banking the transfer to have. 2 next week.

Oh well.

Captain Olivier, please continue where you left off last week

Just saw that now. He'll be out a while from the sound of it. Somebody mentioned Coutinho also possibly missing. Any truth in that does anyone know?

Here's my team for this week. Going Aguero captain though.

L.A.D

Still having a tough time deciding on whether to go for Giroud or Negredo as captain

Only brought in Ozil last week though

Jumped on the bandwagon too late!

Menas

Ozil is in the last chance saloon for me. I bought him as soon as he transfered to Arsenal and after a good start he has been dissapointing.
So today is his last chance.

Arsenal play Hull at home Wednesday night so I'd give him that game too.

HighClass

Evra or Zabaleta? I know whichever one I leave off the team will end up scoring and getting a clean sheet.

Nastastic injured means I'll have start lovren

FutureGuy

Go back to bed ye crazy feckers :-)

G1032

The Nastasic injury means I'll have to start Ridgewell. If he didn't play then Clyne comes in. Not ideal but I've got to make do. Aguero captain.

L.A.D

How certain are we Negredo will start tomorrow?

Play safe and go with Giroud (c).

SlickRic

I actually have no idea whether to play Barkley or Lallana.

Barkley

Suarez, Aguero, Suarez, Aguero...

KevIRL

First time in a long time waking up on a Saturday still drunk. Damn you work Xmas night out, too old for this $hit.

Scorpion Sting

Start Townsend or Brady? Have Andros in the starting XI atm.

HighClass

Szczesny

Evra, Mert, Gabbidon

Ramsey, Bacuna, Yaya, El Ahmadi

Suarez, Rooney, Aguero

Still not sure on captain and not sure if I made the right move bringing in another Villa midfielder. I can see them banging in a few goals against Sunderland today and winning handy enough though!

Bacuna is a midfielder in fantasy but a full back in the villa team......

OctavarIan

Surely Aguero captains himself this week. He's in awesome form and City have been hammering teams at home this season. Last two games at home they beat Norwich 7-0 and Spurs 6-0. Earlier they beat Utd 4-1. Suarez will score but think Aguero will score more.

Suarez

Lallana I reckon. He had some decent attempts last week. If Stoke get physical I could see Barkley getting involved resulting in a yellow

I have never seen a team containing 2 Aston Villa midfielders before. They are 2 differentials that could work out this gameweek but I think it's to the detriment of your team having them for a longer spell.

Who you going with as el captain?

L.A.D

Negredo? Likely starter?

Augero, home fixture swings it ahead of Suarez

My own thoughts exactly. Last week I let yourself and Iused2likebusts sway me towards Aguero when I was slightly undecided.

My own thought is Aguero again this week so makes it easier when ye two lads are going for him also.

bo-sco

Have a selection dilemma in defence.

Two from Johnson away to Hull, Vlaar home to Sunderland, Koscielny away to Cardiff. Terry is my 3rd defender.

Bookies clean sheet odds would say Johnson and Koscielny but I have a feeling Villa are more likely to keep a clean sheet than Liverpool.

Any thoughts?

Saw a Twitter rumour saying Ravel Morrison will be rested today.

Just took a hangover effected points hit I really didnt need and will almost definitely regret

I can't see why he would be. West Ham hardly suffer from fixture congestion.

Mr.Prodston

No early game to distract me from assignments this morning. Looking forward to rewarding my morning's hard work with Norwich vs. Crystal Palace at 3

Alfred Borden

anyone else feel dodgy having walcott? doesnt sound like he will start and got rid of Oz for him, so hope this doesnt go belly up.

TheSetMiner

Ran a script to get stats on top 101 FPL managers just now. I have it on a google doc if anyone is interested https://docs.google.com/document/d/1qxdLmi2jAeQkWnMxOz8eWMu8kUSDIRIsVGrcgWy7hqs/edit?usp=sharing

I've got Walcott but would be like yourself in thinking he won't start today.

yeah he's not done alot wrong but it looks like bobby m will be using both him and osman fairly equally, i'd say barkley against the better teams for his better defensive qualities
