    I started my suspended or injured 4 players too. It kinda feels like a subtle trolling of those around you in the league :)

    Also, it's a nice boost at the end of the Gameweek.

    Its nice to get that ranking jump at the end of the GW though! Saw someone on FFS captaining Saylor with Hazard vc and Costa first sub! Playing with fire a little there!

    Only duff of my injured players could possibly start, if he does its in place of Ings, so not too worried.

    Going with just one captain pick is the real risk how many times have we seen a player get injured in the warm up they have no back up in case that does happen to Hazard!

    Brought in RVP and gave him the armband. All or nothing.

    Cake, and grief counseling, will be available at the conclusion of the test

    That is silly, but it could work out. I fear hazard running riot this week, i've stuck with Fab, they guy is a point machine this year

    City are the best away side in the league this season.

    It will be interesting to see how they do without Aguero. They have done well without him in the past.

    De Gea
    Wisdom Azpi Naylor
    Hazard (c) Sanchez Siggy Nasri
    Costa Kane Dzeko

    No hits either

    You're right re City. I'm letting my memory of last season cloud my judgement. They struggled away then.

    I'm happy enough to go without City cover still though. It's Silva or Kompany I want and I can wait on both.

    Yeh better to just play safe than inviting trouble! I tried to find a way to keep Fab too but figured it was better to move him on to bring in Costa for a few weeks.

    Playing mindgames with your injured/suspended players is one thing. But doing the same with your captain is plain stupidity in my opinion. As jimmii said what if your captain gets injured while warming up? I really don't see the point in taking such a useless idiotic risk.

    Took a -4. Kun and Chambers out for Sakho and Clichy (fingers crossed he plays). 7.2m in the bank.

    Guzan
    Baines Wisdom Azpi Clichy
    Mata Siggy Hazard(c) Tadic
    Costa Sakho

    Subs: Dummett Brady Austin

    The template is well and truly dead, should be an interesting GW.

    This is why I always laugh early in the season when people get annoyed that everyone's teams are the same.

    They never stay the same, and there are always changes to be made to keep you ahead of rivals.

    Aguero & Chambers out this week for Sahko & Ivanovic. Both players that I think will do well. Slight reservation about Ivan missing a game over the crimbo but my 5 defenders all start.

    I've been travelling this week so I've had to leave the assist manager in change for most of the week. He has taken a (bit of a) punt on Sanchez as captain this week. That has me nervous!

    Guzan
    Coleman, Hutton, Ivanovic
    Boyd, Siggy, Sanchez (c), Yaya, Oscar
    Sahko, Costa

    Sub: Yun

    56% of top 10k took points hits this week. Interesting difference between top 1k (Hazard 49%, Costa 36%) and top 10k (Costa 44%, Hazard 36%) for captaincy.

    Ha, speaking of "templates", just noticed today how different the top 5 teams in my main league is. Luckily none of them have copped City's nice upcoming fixtures and I'm the only one with Yaya :P

    EVERYONE in my 3 main leagues who is anywhere near the top of the table has Yaya. If he scores big I'm in mega trouble. I should have brought him in. Nightmare.
