Also, am I reading that report right in that the game occurred at 12.45 BST. Is that British Standard Time? So it essentially happened at mid day yesterday meaning Oscar could have been on his way back to London by the time the other games were kicking off yesterday.

Why is it Chico and not Rangel or Davies that you give top billing to? I've seen very little of Swansea except highlights but I notice his offensive returns have been non existent since he arrived in England(Wales). Santi Cazorla will be involved on Saturday and Walcott may be in the squad also.

But that really is throwing all my eggs in the defence basket this weekend. I'd be starting: Vidic - Dawson - Coleman - Nastasic - Terry Is this a wise move? I could always downgrade Coleman in later weeks if I need to bulk attack.

Should be more concrete news by tomorrow, initial reports promising http://www.fanatix.com/news/arsenal-hopeful-on-minor-mesut-ozil-injury/156498/ That's a lot of cash tied up in defenders IMO. I have Chester and am hoping to hold onto him as my other 4 defs have reasonable fixtures the next 2 weeks while hull have 2 tricky aways and he would be bench material anyway. Chester is hoped to be back for Hulls next home game to Sunderland, as is Brady so I don't want to waste a transfer for 2 weeks. I'm hoping to keep chester long term as he's the only 4m defender who is a fairly definite starter in a team who look resilient defensively especially at home, so I think the best 5th defender for home rotation in FPL, with Clyne a close second.

I think the fact that internationals now take place on a tues rather than wed should also help him. Their still has to be a doubt because of the schalke game and the fact its cardiff at home but may go with oscar myself

I want to build with Oscar as my number 10. I want the other two players, from the side (wings), to adapt to that reality and to learn how to do things that they were not ready to do before."

He's a long term choice and I hope a player I'll be warranted keeping a while. The other midfielder I looked at was Michu but, believe it or not, I don't overly rate Swansea. They over achieved last season and they've alot of ordinary players IMO. I got laughed at when I said the same about Newcastle two years ago but I feel justified in that opinion now. The Swans also seem to be struggling with UEFA and league football which hits alot of teams. The new signings like Bony haven't hit the ground running either.
