shadowcomplex

About time this was started , any fresh injuries to report, so glad the epl is back this week, I hate international breaks

SteelyDanJalapeno

Doesn't seem to be any,

Made some very drunk motivated transfers last night! They weren't too bad thou

Tevez out, Suarez in
Clark out, Ivanovic in

Cantona's Collars

Nobody for me in the early game.However.....C'MON UNITED!! RVP for a hat trick today.

MD1990

my midfield is Ben Arfa,Hazard,Michu & Nolan
should i maybe drop Ben Arfa for Sterling since Sunderland & Newcastle can be very scrappy games?

How Soon Is Now

Switched to Carzola from RVP for captain there at the last minute hope i dont regret this.........

What's the early game? Spurs Chelsea or what?

Edit: I stopped being lazy and checked myself.

I've just Hazard in it.

Joeyjoejoe43

Ahh!!!! I've just made 2 last minute changes... These have a bad habit of going tits up on me... Changed captaincy from Hazard to Michu and benched Ashley Cole for Westham's McCartny!! Just have a feeling Chelsea may not deliver. Cue Chelsea 3-0 win, with a Cole goal and 2 Hazard assists! I hate and love this game!!

Rayne Wooney

My midfield is ridiculous today Hazard, Carzorla, Bale and Sterling

Did a last second change of my captain from Carzorla to Berbatov, hopefully it pays off

Lemlin

Spurs team from their Twitter page:

@SpursOfficial: Here's our starting line-up v Chelsea - Friedel; Walker, Caulker, Gallas, Vertonghen; Sandro, Sigurdsson; Lennon, Dempsey, Bale; Defoe.

And now Chelsea's:

@ESPNFC: Chelsea team: Cech; Ivanovic, Luiz, Cahill, Cole; Ramires, Mikel, Oscar, Mata, Hazard; Torres

Thatsfootball

Have RVP captain, nut for some reason I think Fergie will start Hernendez and Rooney!!

Alpish

No Gareth Bale, his partner is in labour.

MD1990

Bale isnt playing
Huddlestone taking his place

Had the same feeling, so sold Torres (tough game with Tottenham) and brought Podolski in (relatively easy game with Norwich this week...).
I hope both Gervinho and Podolski score today.
Lucky to have Hazard and Vertonghen, so first game will put me on top of my league, but not for long...

The waters must of broke late so!

Forgot to change my team. Always a good start.

WHERE IS BALE??!!! CRAP. Now Morisson's gonna get subbed in and he's got a game against City! F*ck!

His missus is preggers and just about to pop apparently .

Cahill goal should be a Hazard assist

Kerrydude1981

Great finish by Cahill

I changed my captain from Hazzard to Cazorla though, hope Cazorla knocks in a hat trick against Norwich.

FatRat

Nice aul yellow for Ivanovic owners. Baines level on points with him now

FatRat

Apparently Jack Wilshere is back today. Dunno how true that is or if he'll be startin, more than likely not.

No way he'll start.

Amirani

Mata probably should have scored.

km79

Dempsey is popping up in dangerous position s ....

FatRat

Dempsey is looking dangerous. Yellow cards all over the shop. Some game though.

dahat

Hopefully Ivanovic lands another yellow!! Chelsea clean sheet going would be a good help tbh....

Well, that's just frickin' convenient. I have dead-weight worth 9.5 million in my squad now. That dead weight will be subbed by Morisson who may/may not have a good day. Let's hope their home record comes good and they get away with a 1-1 draw.

Tbh, Morrison is nearly as good a bet as Bale for today. How many CS's have City kept? Away CS's? West Brom are at home and love scoring goals lately. Morrison is in good form. It could be a lot worse. Infact, it probably couldn't be better for you, unless someone has Cazorla on the bench or a player like that.

I'd go to say that Morrison might score/assist today. I also think West Brom could squeeze a draw against city today.

Sure Morrison is playing every bit as good as Bale in terms of FF,either player would have done any team.

EDIT -- Fat Rat got there before me and 11/4 the draw is a cracking bet.........

I know, but still, it's City. They aren't predictable!

Presume that means Rooney will be deep again.

Who_8_Paul?

God damn, no Aguero. At least RVP starts, not the first time I've said and need a big haul from him

Was an Oscar cross, cleared by Gallas.

Devia

Now I'm glad I switched in Mata for Hazard.
