Plain and simple I fancy Villa not to score more than West Ham not scoring.

Surely Chelsea will have some sort of lag after the cup final.

Then go for it so! Game is all about opinions have to go with what you believe.

After GW 2 I was ranked 258k overall, by GW 12 I had plunged to 1.2 million but finally after GW 27 I've managed to get back to my GW 2 rank. At 244k now. If I get inside the top 100k it'll be a good season!!

You should still be aiming higher than that at this point it wouldn't take much for you to be able to get into the top 50k or so. 50k is on 1470 right now how far behind that are you?

EDIT: hmmm actually tougher than I thought 200k is almost 70 behind 50k still doable though. 100k is 36 ahead of 200k so that should definitely be a achievable then throw in a little luck and who knows!

Only 70 behind 50k, that's not too bad actually. I still have a wildcard left! My best ever overall finish was 42k so I still have a bit of a chance to beat that.

A good WC is definitely going to give you a chance! Sounds like its very close from 200k to 244k if you're only 70 behind! 200k is 67 behind according to The Gargatron. I still have mine left too but every season I have been able to hold it I have dropped like a stone the last few weeks never seem to be able to nail the late one!!

Guys I am in the middle of my Wildcard and have one big question remaining. Heres my line-up as it stands

---

Foster -- Myhill

-- Bruce -- Terry -- Alder -- Bellerin -- Rose

Hazard -- Ozil -- Silva -- Eriksson -- Ameobi

---- Kane -- Aguero -- Sturridge

I don't really want to go without Sanchez just yet. The only way I can keep him is to downgrade Terry. I will be selling Rose as well Id imagine at some stage

I have just enough for Terry --> PVA and Ozil ----> Sanchez

I was half contemplating leaving Terry on the bench this week as it was. If Sanchez fluffs his lines over the next few weeks I could always revert. Main issue is only having one Chelsea player for the time being.

Thoughts?

Good shout. I could do Rose

> Zouma but may wait until next GW. Interestingly enough Terry is at 35% ownership in the top 1000 & Ivanovic at 25%. Surely not many have both so that's a nice percentage covered by either or. Zouma at 5%

Just looking at future fixtures of Costa and Sturridge.

Sturridge
16 Mar 20:00 Gameweek 29 Swansea (A)
22 Mar 13:30 Gameweek 30 Man Utd (H)
04 Apr 12:45 Gameweek 31 Arsenal (A)
13 Apr 20:00 Gameweek 32 Newcastle (H)


Costa
15 Mar 13:30 Gameweek 29 Southampton (H)
22 Mar 16:00 Gameweek 30 Hull (A)
04 Apr 17:30 Gameweek 31 Stoke (H)
12 Apr 13:30 Gameweek 32 QPR (A)

I reckon for GW30 would be the perfect time to bring in Costa for a two gameweek punt when he plays Hull and Stoke. Then bring Sturridge back in for Newcastle at home.

The big problem though is Costa's yellow cards. Two more and he misses two games so it could be a waste of a transfer.

The only thing is I have a feeling this United team is very out of sorts and going to Anfield vs a somewhat resurgent Liverpool could get a spanking. Unless United improve a lot I'd fancy Studge for that one.

IIRC the yellow card ban gets increased to 15 before GW33 so Costa will be good to go for their DGW. Before that I'll be playing it by ear.

The deadline for 10 yellows is qpr gw 32 I think. Worst case scenario he gets his 10th yellow that day. Utd beat arsenal in fa cup meaning Chelsea have a blank gw 33. Then costa is suspended for both games of Chelsea's double in gw 34

That would certainly be interesting :pac:. I can't believe some of my casual "rivals" love for Costa. Two of them held him through the 3 match ban and blank instead of getting Aguero. "He's too expensive"

Random observation - last GW my starting 11 consisted of players from just 4 different teams - city (3), wba (3), arsenal (3) and Newcastle (2). Can't get any fewer than that! Time to diversify.

a rival of mine took a transfer in GW27 and then 2 in GW28 but its not taking minus 4 of him. odd

spock.

He must have had 2 FTs in GW 27 but only used 1. He got another one this week so he had 2.

He was probably carrying a spare one from 26 or so.

Does anyone know where Yacob plays for WBA? Is he playing defensive mid or on the wing? I'd like West Brom cover and I could save 0.1m by bringing him in instead of Dawson :P Also, if he plays on the wing maybe more chance of an assist!

Defensive mid. Last four weeks Dawson has actually played further up the pitch than him so he tends to stay very deep!

spock.

BT Sport chose a great pair of fixtures to show this weekend
Bradford 0-0 Reading
Liverpool 0-0 Blackburn

Makes it all the sweeter!!

4 out of my last 6 weeks I've had a GW ranking in the top 100k. Much needed boost!

In the last 13 gameweeks I've had a massive 1 green arrow! Dropped from 22,000 to 177,000 The worst thing is it was very gradual, most weeks I was still beating the average score and then in the last 3 weeks dropped over 100,000 places...

What are people doing with Bertrand/clyne for this game? Benching them for someone like pva who may not start? I'm thinking that after chelseas long midweek game, that game could easily be 0-0.

Or after the, let's just say negative response from the press to the way Chelsea played, they might just come out and actually try to win a game by means other than haranguing the officials. They might hit the ground running and try to rack up a few goals to try silence their critics. They could hit The Saints for 4 or 5. I can't see Southampton keeping a cleanie.

Benching Berty and playing Ivanovic, can't see Saints keeping a cs.

It means doubling up.on WBA though.
