One of my worst transfers of last season. I took Yaya out for him because Yaya was missing two GWs.

I would probably play Dummett. I think Newcastle will put up a good fight against United. None of the options are likely to claim a clean sheet so all you can hope for is attacking returns. I'd see Newcastle being the most likely to score against the big boys and Dummett may get some attacking returns.

Sanchez and Hazard likely to be rested means disaster for me but only one week so will suffer on.

Likely to captain Bony as other options are poor.

Very different opinions on them being rested.

Ben Dinnery reckons Hazard is available but may have "limited gametime".

I think West Brom are more likely to keep clean sheet at home to City than Newcastle are away to United.
Poor 3rd choice keeper and no Tiote away against almost full strength United attack.
City are without a striker and although coping extremely well with that it is still possible for West Brom to be hard to break down and City then have very little options to change it with no strikers.

60 mins would be ideal and a goal!!!

A bench of Boyd,Moore and Cissoko leaves me exposed this Xmas season

Yeah good point. Coin toss I'd say Rick. :pac:

Menas

I have a few worries this week. Chambers, Duff, Hazard and possibly Sanchez may not start.
Have already taken a 4 point hit so will just have to sit tight and hope for the best.

Is Chelsea team set to be named in time for Hazard owners to react by 11:30?

They are never officially announced before the 11:30 deadline but some reliable sources such as Ben Dinnery get their predictions about the star players correct more often than not.

At home to QPR, best time to rest him.

West Ham away on Sunday. He needs to be rested. Walcott back too. Podolski available. Perfect time to test Sanchez. The more I think about it the less likely I think he is to start. He could come in with 20 to go....

Steven81

I think people saying who they are resting from front 8 is relevant, about 2pm people will be on about how many they will have playing.
You cant beat the christmas games.

Costa to Falcao is tempting me also. If I get Falcao not sure I'd have the gut to captain him.
