    There's a large list of FF resources here: http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2056550109

    If you scroll down a handful of posts, you'll see my addition, laid out semi-competently with some extras. :)

    What a bizarre week.

    First I choose Krul over Mignolet with my benched keeper saving a pen and my chosen one failing to do so. Amongst the rest of my squad, I had two players receive minus points, three not play at all (Silva, Richards and Bale) and had two red cards and a missed penalty.

    And I still come out with close to 70 points! Thank you Dempsey (c), RVP and sub McAuley. I'll take that!

    I'm trying to sort my head out for some kind of strategy for the rest of the season now and to be honest, there's a lot to think about..

    The main thing is, despite the current bandwagons, you have to ask yourself, which team has most to play for in the remaining matches?
    Do I pick someone from a mid-table team that might be safe from relegation and not entirely up for it or do I risk someone from a team at the bottom that may well be putting in a huge effort over the next while.

    I'm not talking about the likes of Wolves seeing as they're a headless chicken right now but maybe a more stable team like Villa, QPR or Blackburn (yeah, I know...).

    Looking at Blackburns matches in the next while, they could shine (as pointed out by Carlcon in another thread). Villa could be a better option seeing as they have, on paper, more talent at their disposal.

    I remember at the end of last season, it was worth investing in the teams hovering around the relegation line. Something to factor in this year maybe...

    I also have Dyer! !

    A lot of people are going for McClean from the same Sunderland squad. I'm thinking of going for Pederson or N'Zonzi from Blackburn seeing as I'm not replacing any of my strikers for the rest of the season which is blocking Yakubu from coming in.

    I downgraded Cisse to Holt and got in Walcott, who though being a terrible player, does seem to deliver in FF terms (except for the one or two times I've gotten him in ;)) hope it works out this time...

    Dempsey cost me BIG yesterday. Rivals in my league had Aguero as captain, I went with him too but had RvP as VC. Watched the game and the head dropped as he banged in those goals. Even with one of them having Sess and Ba I still lost ground.

    A bit gutted this week, even though I had Dempsey as captain. My rival in my cash league, who was 80 ahead of me before this weekend, had Aguero as captain, but his VC was Van Persie the jammy bastard!

    The hardest thing to take though was the fact that two of my subs were used, bringing 2 points into play for me, and my third sub was McAuley with 15 bloody points! I would have cut his lead by 25% had he come on. Catching him is worth €150 to me too. :(

    McAuley was my third sub as well, but with Silva, Richards and Bale not playing, he came in. You must be gutted! But what can you do? You made the right call... Four times out of five, McAuley would score two points at home to Chelsea. It was a fluke... With a bit of luck, you'll catch a fluke in your favour to narrow the gap in the next week or two!

    Bad things this week - Aguero(C), Silva, Bale, Richards not playing, Ba peno miss(VC), Sess red

    Good things - Subbing in Pogrebnyak and he gets hattrick, Caulker assist/clean sheet, not having enough players so Aguero remained my captain instead of it switching to Ba

    Here's hoping. I need to start making some pretty bold moves now to catch him. We have a few too many of the same players for my liking so last night I made the very bold (I'm being kind when I say bold) decision of taking Aguero out and getting Suarez in. I know how incredibly frustrating Suarez is (both from a FF point of view and a Pool supporters pov) but with the double game week and what not I said feck it. Also have 3.0 in the bank for next week.

    I just took an 8 point hit to get rid of Ba, Aguero and Silva and brought in Rooney, Suarez and Yaya.

    72 hours since the last post in this thread, easy knowing that many are doing too well. :p

    Komapny being out for about 2 weeks will affect many (myself included). Great news considering I ran the risk of getting Suarez in early this GW and also having two suspended for a few weeks (Sess + Dyer).

    I presume the majority are going with a Liverpool player as captain this GW?

    I have the choice of 3 of them, suarez, enrique and henderson.

    I went with the obvious choice of suarez but very nearly went with enrique with memories of spurs dgw when ade did sfa and BAE cleaned up points wise.

    The 8 points from playing 2 games as captain is a massive difference to my captain last week coz neither played :-(

    I've stuck with RVP.. Newcastle have been leaking goals recently and Arsenal are flying. I did transfer in Rooney though.. he looks set for a strong finish to the season.

    Lots of ground could be made/lost this week. I've seen Enrique, Rooney and Suarez with the armband for teams that I'm competing against in private leagues.

    As a Toffee, I'm pretty pleased with today. More giant killing from Moyes and I'm hoping for good things for the rest of the season. On the FF side of things, I didn't get any pool or Toffee players in because I had a plan I was trying to stick to before I knew about the double gameweek and to be honest, I wasn't going to get a pool player in on principal. ;D

    Have 20 points from 5 players (Mignolet, Senderos, Warnock, N'Zonzi and Dempsey) with Captain Van Pirsie, Rooney, Evans, Aguero, Silva and Surman to play. I'm hoping Aguero will be a differential seeing as everyone and their granny dropped him lately...we'll just have to see but I have a gut feeling it might be worth keeping him.
