Well that's thrown a spanner in the works...

Barkley?

Yep. So uncertain as to what to do... if I knew if it were McCarthy or Besic taking his place I might be more confident in trading up my other mids... decisions decisions.

On Hazard, good long term but reading this suggests he may be a doub for this week (don't know if you care or not) http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11668/9424249/premier-league-fatigue-will-lead-to-weakened-chelsea-teams-early-in-season-says-jose-mourinho

Maybe it was all those bumps of yours...

Even if you take out my bumps it's twice as active as it was last year :lol:

Thanks for reminding me to do the last call for H2H :)

32 people, 38 would be amazing and twice the amount we had last year IIRC.

60 people in the classic league, I'm not even sure if ET has 60 different posters a year :lol:

Expecting a lot of carnage tonight.

It is a little worrying that Cameron has been left out of possible starting teams by a few publications. I thought he was a certain. Anyways, I think he'll start and it's just poor predicting from the writer.

Going with: Mannone-Pocognoli, Felipe Luis, Isla,Cameron-Young, Mata, Fabregas- Diego Costa, Diouf, Rooney.
Bench: Arnautovic, Eriksen, Davidson

I've gone with the scout's advice on Young here. Eriksen is good but I have no idea what he'll do today. As with Arnautovic, I may regret benching him. If Young doesn't play then I've got a few who will be subbed on.

I don't know who to captain :(

Im in this year, missed it by 1 day last time around.

Looks like im running a different style to pretty much everyone here.


Mannone WBA (A)

Baines LEI (A)
Caulker HUL (H)
Jones SWA (H)

Mata SWA (H)
Sigurdsson MUN (A)
Fábregas BUR (A)
Eriksen WHU (A)

Bojan AVL (H)
Rooney SWA (H)
Diego Costa BUR (A)

Subs
Krul MCI (H)
Hoilett HUL (H)
Ward ARS (A)
Coloccini MCI (H)

Took out #GYLFILAD for Henderson :(

So Cameron is missing today. he is perhaps the most popular defender. Would be up there. Good then that Arnautovic is starting and will be auto subbed at the end of the match day. That Villa line up looks so sad but they might surprise as a rag tag team.

Damn Isla not in QPR squad. Eriksen will also be subbed on later for me. Good Diouf and Pocognoli are starting. I hope WBA can get a clean sheet today.

Fark!!! Sigurdsson with an awesome game but I decided to get rid of him for Young! Dumb!!! That's fantasy.

Brought in Jones. He gets an assist. Utd lose. Good outcome all round.

Had Jones in and Rooney as captain :cool:

Good start so far, a clean sheet would have been nice though

WBA clean sheet AND IT'S GONE! Damn.

Should have tipped with my head over my heart, got Holtby instead of Siggy.

Double

Had Rooney as captain but I was even comtemplating before hand whether it was worth putting Ramsey and/or Siggy in :cry:

The gravy trains have de-railed, time to take them -4 transfer points.

I need Jordan "Better than Ramsey" Henderson to save my midfield tonight.

Which forumer is #1?

Had a shocking start. Wildcard already used.

60 point start aint bad considering my entire team played including bench

That shall be me, jlm.

Super sick stuff though!
My 2 last minute transfers (Cahill for Ivanovic and a tactical acquisition of Coutinho on the bench with Barry in favour of Naismith) were definitely sour points.
Apart from that and the inevitability that my strong bench will sometimes outscore my outfielders, it's a happy start

Great start for you!

A mate of mine pulled 70 this round, however i'm pretty sure he got bonus points just for the name 'Crystal Phallus' :lol:

I miss the days of Henry being worth 14 :lol:

Really bad start. only one defender played. Wildcard? not so sure yet.

Damn, was sitting pretty in 3rd and 1st in H2H before this last game day. If only Chelsea could have kept a clean sheet..

:lol: :lol: =d>
