45 points with Suarez (C) and Mignolet to play. Up 600 odd places to 3.3k overall.

2 free transfers, probably Aguero to Rooney and Terry to Burner. Would give me some funds towards turning Brady into a Silva or Walcott.

Would you pick B Turner over one of the Sunderland lads? Trying to think of who to get in

I already have Gabbidon so the plan is Turner to get me some of that tasty Palace/Cardiff rotation action. A Norwich and Sunderland keeper/defender is also on my medium-term radar as I look to cheapen my backline, with Mignolet and Santon not delivering value for money.

Lemlin

Up from 9k to 4k. I expect to fall tomorrow when Rooney plays. Hopefully wont fall back down to where I was or below it though.

Even if Aguero is injured and its confirmed tomorrow, I won't be bringing Rooney in until after the Carling Cup game Wednesday night. Too much risk of injury for him.

I hate bemoaning luck in this game, but how Remy didn't score 2 today is beyond me.

Not sure luck comes into a player being off form tbh. That's his third blank in a row.

My 56 points so far have seen me rise nearly 50000 places. I'm pretty sure though that by tomorrow night my grin will have rotated 180° as I have no Rooney and captain Lukaku didn't deliver quite as much as I'd have liked.

Hoping for a Mignolet clean sheet tomorrow as he's kinda become a differential for me in my private leagues.

HighClass

41 with Suarez & Shelvey left to play. Delighted that Mert and Zab got me some points, didn't think I'd be getting anything from my defence this week.

Mostly red arrows after yesterday, a few grey but not a green in sight. Lets go Rooney and Fer

Menas

My christmas party hangover has been slightly relieved by the discovery that I got 61 points yesterday. Top 9000 for the gameweek. Suarez to play.

I really need Rooney to fail to have a chance in FFS Cup. Can't see it happening though.

One Rooney goal and 3 bonus will net my opponent 18 and I'm only 14 ahead.

And I need Rooney to get at least 1 goal, but ideally more to close a 20 point gap in my FFS cup game.

Ah well at least one of us will be in the hat for the next round. Good luck!

The odds are stacked in your favour tbh. The Chester clean sheet yesterday evening is what I reckon will be the beating of me.

If Mig wants to keep a clean sheet and save a peno it'd be nice as well.

I dunno, I always prefer to have points on the board than be chasing. 20 points from 3 players required, even though one of them is my captain its never a gimme

My hope is for a relatively quiet day but I can only see United stuffing Villa. Rooney will be heavily involved if they do. He's on free kicks, penos, will more than likely be up top.

United will be keen to bounce back after their last two losses and Villa are no Everton or even Newcastle at the back.

Would be great to see Liverpool and Spurs play out a nil all but I see Spurs scoring and Suarez getting at least one.

40-16 point hit sees me slide back to 80k from 49k. Fer, Migs and Suarez to play

orkkukunkku

51 (-4) and Suarez and Rooney (c) still to play. If Rooney brings the goods I ll break to 100K

Necronomicon

I'm reasonably happy that I only fell 4k places to around 60k with my 38 points, I'd feared more of a drop. Dawson and Suarez to play.

16 point hit?

I've fallen back to 90k after an average 40(-4). Captain Suarez and Coutinho to do the business today against Spurs please.

Paully D

I'll miss the games today. When I log back on at around 6pm I want to see that Rooney (C) has run wild, oh and Suarez too but since everyone has him that won't make much of a difference.

shayno90

On 49(-4) with Rooney(C), Suarez, Davies left to play

Yep. Cleared out alot of deadwood. Have made up 13 of those 16 yesterday. Fer needs 3 to break even but confident hell get me more than that.

Jaysis, I'm praying Rooney has a very quiet day today...

roryc

Yep, no points for Rooney please.

Mr.Prodston

A Fernandinho bandwagon is something I would love to see as the tracks lead off a cliff into the abyss :pac:

I would be confident Danger has already transferred in himself and Walcott...
