    After all the talk of WCs, do we dont we, ups and downs, injuries, etc etc this week, it seems everyone has forgot to do the GW Thread.

    So after much thought, I have finally settled on my single transfer, and gone with this, just hope West Ham and Cardiff end in a draw going by my GKR and DEF.

    No access to laptop after tonight till tomorrow evening so no more changes for me, with a GW first this season of 5 midfeilders.

    I remember a time when the Gameweek threads were started on the actual Matchday!

    Getting earlier every week alright. I'm hoping for some of this from my secret weapon (if he plays!):

    I've invested money in my defence with this wildcard. New team looks like this for the week.

    Marshall (Hvs WHU)
    Coleman (Hvs NOR)----Azpilicueta (Avs HUL)
    Sagna (Avs AVL)
    Januzaj (Hvs SWA)--Hazard (Avs HUL)----Ozil (Avs AVL)---Eriksen (Hvs CRY)
    Suarez(C) (Avs STK)---Adebayor (Hvs CRY)---Giroud (Avs AVL)

    Subs-- Silva (Avs NEW) Kolarov (Avs NEW) Chester (H vs Chelsea) Mannone (Avs Fulham)

    The plan all along was to save the wildcard till the end to get in Aguero but I've decided to shelve that plan and just roll with it. As good squad depth as I've ever had playing this but perhaps the strikers are a small bit weak. I feel Januzaj will do something this week so Silva misses out, I think United will turn it around vs Swansea and a lot of it will depend on Januzaj..

    Are you a United supporter? Leaving David Silva, one of the best midfielders in the league, out for a teenager who plays sporadically is beyond madness.

    I read earlier on FFS that Newcastle are missing something like 3 defenders as well.

    With a lot of people taking 4 or 8 point hits to fix their team this week I would be very surprised if I don't move up the rankings this GW. Whether it turns out to have been the right move to use my WC now will be another question.

    No Liverpool!! Haha! Might put Silva back in.

    Also what would you reccomend;
    Sterling and Faye (Hull)
    or
    Januzaj and Chester (Hull)

    Vincent Tan has revolutionised football. David Marshall has now scored a hattrick after 30 minutes! Unreal!

    My team for this week:

    Mannone
    Coleman Mertesacker Terry
    Mutch Cabaye Ozil Hazard Silva
    Suarez (c) Lukaku

    Harper, Ben Turner, Ward, Rooney.

    If Mutch or Cabaye misses out, I'm happy enough to play Turner home to West Ham. I expect Cabaye to make it from the articles I've read but I don't think Mutch will. It's a pity because he could have been a real differential this week. I fancy him to sneak something if he did play.

    The other hope is that Ward isn't needed off the bench. I don't think Spurs will have a walk in the park vs Palace but I also can't see anything other than a 2 pointer.

    I go into the week at 2559 and with green arrows since GW9. I can only see that run ending because, from reviewing my own leagues, it appears the majority of people have played their wildcards.

    So this is the game week with all the reverse fixtures from GW1 (bar Chelsea's double)

    Will we see similarly high scores??

    When can I play a wildcard?
    You can play 2 wildcards a season.One wildcard can be played at any time. The January Wildcard can only be used after Gameweek 20 starts (1 Jan 11:30) until Gameweek 23 ends (1 Feb 11:30).

    The above from the help section of Fantasy Football

    Regards

    Team.

    Mignolet
    Burner - Mertesacker - Baines
    Silva - Yaya - Hazard - Ozil
    Adebayor - Suarez - Rodriguez

    Mannone,
    Coleman, Sagna, Merts.
    Silva, Hazard, Eriksen, Huddlestone.
    Adebayor, Suarez (c), Lukaku.

    Happy enough going into the Gameweek, only slight worry is lack of Aresnal attackers (after holding off on getting Ozil) as Villa have been dodgy at home to the big sides, but my gut says that's gonna be low scoring. A clean sheet for Arsenal there obviously makes my day!

    No need to worry about Jelavic taking Lukakus place -- he's off to Hull!

    Could be a sneaky differential if he gets some form.

    No Chelsea mid or Man City attacker. I'd be concerned about midfield -- Gerrard only just back, Ozil only back, can't rely on Jan to start or Lennon to get points.

    Szczesny
    Mert, Coleman, Zab
    Yaya, Hazard, Ozil, Henderson
    Suarez, Ade, Welbeck

    Trying not to change the captain from Ade to Suarez, could change my mind before 11:30 though!

    I should be in the middle of an 8 mile easy run. Instead I'm stuck indoors trying to decide whether to move it of Suarez and onto Adebayor.

    My brain says keep it of Suarez - it's what everyone in your league will do and you have plenty of VERY strong differentials in Adebayor, Rodruigez, Silva and Baines.

    My gut keeps telling me risk Adebayor.

    Opinions? Honestly, I'm not sure about Suarez this gameweek.
