In my blog just this morning, I highlighted Henriquez as a player who could be a diamond in the rough. Yes I have a blog now. 2013 goals and all that.

Fair play to ya, I may be sold on the young lad at Wigan, I'm downgrading Suarez to bulk up my defence and midfield for the second half, I was looking at Pog.... for Reading but he's fairly crap, I'll be playing 3-5-2 or maybe even 4-4-2 for the rest of the year.

Michu, what a guy

Don't learn the hard way not to play him like I did.

2nd mistake of the night from Ivanovic...

Swansea have a hectic schedule coming up now. Could argue that their cup games are more important.. Graham getting goals. I fear Michu may be rested ......
Offside goal and a pen claim for Ba in only 10 mins play. Damn he has me thinking again !!!!

and i was just minutes late clicking on confirm to have Ba (and 3 Chelsea others) in my wc team

4 in 4 from Graham. Laudrupp will have a bit of a headache.

Chelsea have been poor defensively recently! im wondering is there any point having Chelsea defensive cover for the DGW at all now!

I'd say Luiz is a safe enough option especially as Ramires was terrible. Mata was terrible tonight too along with most of the Chelsea team though!

Ivanovic with 2 assists tonight. Think i'll definitely bring him in now.

Same here. I bet Torres isn't even in Torres's FF team.

But for the double Gameweek, a four point hit would have him gone.

Don' t ever rest Michu, the man is a beast!! For anyone with the big 5 in midfield and want to play 4 in midfield this week then fellaini or Walcott should be benched. Personally I am keeping three big strikers and doing without fellaini so it's not a problem for me!

Rumors circulating that Fellaini has had his release clause activated and he won't feature this weekend. Probably a load of nonsense but a good few sources are saying he's off to Chelsea.

Adebayor has definitely declared he'll play in the ACON. Defoe could be a good bet now.

With regard to Chelsea,they played some decent football tonight but had a striker that seems to have forgotten what his job is on the field.
Ba will start at the weekend & I feel Chelsea will come out of this slump,especially if they score first.

This would make my life a lot easier! I'm planning on having a strong 3 up front (RVP, Suarez and Ba) and having Puncheon in MF instead of Fellaini.

I wasn't sure of who to drop between Michu and Walcott (for Puncheon), but last night has decided it. Walcott looks set to warm my bench. Yet again I wish we could do a 2-5-3 formation...

As for Ba, I think he's definitely worth the risk. He's hit the ground running and looked fantastic in his 10 minutes last night. If he gets a full game against Southampton I expect him to score, and if he features in both he could run riot. If he only plays a few minutes in one/both then I can get rid easily enough for Ruiz or even Defoe, but I wouldn't like to be on the wrong side of a big score from him in a DGW. The fact he didn't start last night makes me think he'll definitely start against Southampton.

Finally with Mata, he'll be my captain either way. So many people will captain him this week that it almost cancels it out, so even if he only scores 3 or 4 points then you shouldn't lose much ground.

I think I'm going to bench Puncheon to be honest. Sure he has a DGW but they're not the most attractive fixtures. Theo's form is too good, and last night was a slap-in-the-face reminder of how stupid it would be to bench Michu.
