Nope, no Ramsey and Giroud and Bentekkers both having shockers :lol:

Aaron Ramsey double and a Szcefoknfgoksnny clean sheet, top start to the round.

Rambo double, Ozil 2 assists, Lukaku with a goal

Poor Captain's choice with Aguero but to still manage 72 is very pleasing thanks largely to Coleman, Zabaleta, Ozil and Ramsay.

I made two transfers (copping the 4pts) to bring in Barkley (didn't play) and Walcott (off the bench last few minutes but at least got an assist) but given Lalana and Townsend (who I replaced - I had cash in the bank) did very little I kind of got away with it... assuming Theo starts some matches from here on...

I just recover top spot on the 442 league but 'drop' to 24th in the country after losty heights of 11th after Saturday night. 1278 worldwide - not wanting to sound smug about it but it's fair to say I'm going ok.

Sometimes, just sometimes- you have to take a risk.

98 points from the mid-week round. Yeah bitches.

Suarez (c) has outscored the rest of my team the past two rounds. Probably won't make many changes for the rest of the season after dropping Ramires and Taarabt for Holtby and Shelvey

Shelvey had better perform this week.

Have to keep up this momentum, gaining ground every week and get good Imno.

Eh I'm 4th, I'll take it.

Second come right after first...

I missed the deadline to change my team on the weekend (GW17) and still had Aguero and Zabaleta play... significantly I missed the chance to cash in on Suarez as captain... that's when I fell to second (from top 20 in Aus to 145th have since recovered to around 75th place).

Loving the challenge and aside from a mate I play with at my Club this league is my most competitive.

Been a great season so far but it's a long season and now almost 65% of the league having to sell Ramsay will shake things up...

Average for this round is 39 points :lol:

57% of teams have Ramsay
50% have Suarez
42% have Toure.

All three score six points between them. That's gonna make for a low average.

Transferred out Remy for Rodriguez. Very good call.

As of right now, I have none. :( 8-[

I march on in the cup. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

I didn't even know there was a cup :lol:

Anyone else still alive in the cup? \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Only flogs.

Time to give me 2nd spot plz Quichefc.

Still in the Cup. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Honestly JLM I'm managing that poorly that it's yours for the taking...

Gonna have to put some serious work into this team. I mean honestly how can Ozil still be getting a game with his outputs??

Still a long way to go...

Will give this a bump, because I'm into the next round of the cup. \:d/ \:d/ \:d/

Going to be without Cabaye, Ramsay, Remy, Coleman and Lukaku this week. Probably time to use that wildcard. Going to wait until the window closes though.

Why? The players wont be added by the time the wildcard expires.

I thought the wildcard expired after the matchday?

Expires before this match day starts " until Gameweek 23 ends (1 Feb 11:30)."

What I'm saying is they probably wont have added any transfers done on deadline day before then, so just make sure you dont screw it up :lol: :lol:

Eh, I did it already. Most of the players coming in didn't really represent good value. Still not entirely happy with the team, need Ramsay and Coleman back to fitness.

Ramsey will be out for at least a month, not sure if you have him or if you just want to get him.

Have him. But if I get rid of him then I'm going to lose an arse-load of cashola. This whole 'getting half of the profit' on a player's value increase is bollocks. He's worth 7.2 and I'm only going to get 6.6. You either have to make constant changes to your team or commit to players all season. Anything in between fucks you.

IN: Etheridge, Koscielny, Caulker, Sagna, Huddlestone, Adam Johnson, Sturridge, Adebayor
OUT: Stekelenburg, Michael Dawson, Williams, Fonte, Schurrle, Shelvey, Giroud, Lukaku

Team is now:

Mignolet, Etheridge
Shaw, Koscielny, Caulker, Jagielka, Sagna
Johnson, Eriksen, Bentaleb, Lallana, Huddlestone
Suarez, Sturridge, Adebayor

Anyone want to pick my SXI for this week?
