Yeah I had planned on getting in VDV now I'm thinking Pineaar instead. Might take an 8 point hit
Valencia, Sig and Greham out, Pineaar, Cabaye and Cisse to come in.

With my disappointing week that I've had, having made all the changes I deemed neccesary for the upcoming DGW, I decided that something else which must simply be done to strengthen my team and bring along good fortune, was a change in kit, which I think you'll agree, is rather lovely and ties in with my club name.

Ha I changed my team-name a few months ago and the difference was unreal. I've shot up about 100,000 places.

I used the same name that I had for my team in the American football FF league. It was my first year doing that and I won every trophy in the league and my team was by far the best.

It's obviously a complete and utter coincidence that the change made such a difference for me but I like to think that it played a major part. It gave my players a new lease of life to be fair. They were able to break free from the shackles of the previous regime .

Yes, it's gives it a breathe of fresh air, I don't think it coincidence at all, it is pleasing to the gods of Football Fantasy, and they in turn have rewarded you well, I only wish I had changed my team kit sooner, for as soon as I had so in December, my team rose greatly and showed no fear, picking up points like there was no tomorrow. It is fate.

Yep did the same moves myself, at a 4 point hit to get Tevez in for Rooney. Coupled with having Rooney as captain the week RVP scored high, and the opposite the following week. Captain choice has cost me a massive amount of points the last 3 weeks and has seen me drop from 3rd to 15th in boards league

A bloody brain fart this week, out went Rooney (who was my captain at the time) and in came Tevez. Decided to stick with van Persie. A net loss of 16 points which saw me slip to second in my league. I wouldnt mind but I'm normally so cautious regarding transfers, and that one was made at 11am on Saturday.

On to next week. Jelavic in for Tevez, giving me 6 DGW players. Jelavic, Cisse, Bale, Simpson, Bogdan and Ben Arfa. Who to captain?

I am finding it hard to look past Cisse for the double gameweek.

56 so far, with Martin Petrov to play again tomorrow night.
15 ahead in lge now, and broke thru the 2000 barrier

Other guy in contention has no Bolton/Villa players so hopefully Petrov had the game of his life!

Right guys need your help please after falling behind mate in private league he has a 40 point lead and need to reel him in my team below:

Vorm/Mignolet
Kelly, Enrique, Verm, Evans, Simpson
Sess,McClean, Siggy, Valencia, Bale
Cisse, Aguero, RVP
I've used my transfer this week shipped Walcott for Bale.

His team is and he has 2 free transfer this week:
Vorm/Krul
Cahill, Bardsley, Evans, Kelly, Shawcross
Siggy, Valencia, Demp, Walcott, McClean
Cisse, Rooney & RVP

Is it worth taking an 8 point to get a few more DGW in and if so who do we recommend.. I've had a really good season so far into the top 7k overall. Any tips much appreciated...

Maybe get Pienaar or VDV in for Sessegnon or McClean preferably. Now wouldn't be a bad time to change you're goalkeeper as neither have particularly good fixtures in GW37/38. Howard is decent option to come in for Vorm. That could wait until next week I suppose considering Mignolet has Bol(H).

A warrant has been issued for Pienaar because he never showed up to court for questioning about who was driving his car when it was caught speeding.

I wonder if that means he's effed for the DGW?

Seems like he'll be okay

The warrant for Steven Pienaar's arrest for alleged outstanding speeding fines has been withdrawn, KickOff.com can reveal.

News coming out of the Bafana Bafana midfielder's camp is that the issue is now in the hands of Pienaar's lawyer.

Media reports alleged that Pienaar was caught speeding twice in 11 days, on the same road, and he was said to have dodged a court date.

The warrant was issued on Monday and according to UK law Pienaar was obliged to let authorities know who was behind the wheel.

But news of the warrant for his arrest caught the Everton star by surprise – he had no idea that there were alleged outstanding speeding fines.

Can't possibly pick any Chelsea players for the DGW now bar the ones who have been banned for the final.
