60 points thanks to jammy chambers transfer in this week, though all red arrows down to 5,993th this week.

If only I could get my captaincy right I'd really be flying. I think I have to get Utd coverage in but going to wait till after cl to decide.

I'm not sure what to do now. I intend to keep Costa, could get adm back in but may chance going without United cover v Palace to assess the options.

I'd prefer to go the Rooney route but won't be shipping Pelle before Leicester at home where he's captain material.

58 for the week! Lingering around 90K but will probably drop again slightly after tomorrows game. Need another big week with the correct captain choice to bump me back up the rankings!

Not sure at all. Rooney apparently played very deep today, which is why I think I'd like to see where he plays against Palace before getting him in.

If Rooney is not on form or not playing where he wants to play he's useless FPL wise. Do you have adm?

Have adm and have similar reservations about Rooney but don't think he will be played as deep in the 3 home games and has a great record against arsenal......I'd prefer an on form falcao to be honest !
Also have tadic which is why I've not got pelle

I'd prefer Falcao too. When is he back? I wouldn't double up, are you planning on shipping adm?

I have the luxury of waiting with Pelle in a great fixture and seeing what I'll do with 2 FTs the week after, so leaning towards that, the only downside being no United player against Palace. Whereas getting Pelle in now with his fixtures about to turn awful is not as attractive for you.

I could buy adm back either but not sure I want to commit to him again just yet.

54 without Sanchez/Kun or a scoreless DC.

Guess i have to happy with that. Southampton/Baines defence saved me again.

Welbeck must go NOW D'oh

AdMMM · 03-11-2014 11:30AM

Will be finishing on 61 points and up to 161k overall. Will imagine I'll be dropping a small bit tonight, but shouldn't drop below 200k. Switched the armband back to Costa (from Aguero) at 11:25 on Saturday, so could have done a bit better if I was hungover and forgot to do that.

I got 53 and don't consider myself having been saved in any way, make, shape or form!!

It's been a utter disaster of a week............................:(

You're 10 points above the global average! I think 'disaster' is a strong word! I'm sure you dropped a bit globally, but if your worst week all year is 10 points above the global average I'd say you'll do very well!

jimmii · 03-11-2014 12:35PM

In fairness the global average includes all those people who play the money game and are making 5+ transfers each week and all the ghost teams who haven't changed since the start using the top 10k average is a lot better way of judging the week as you know those players are playing and top 10k is a realistic target for most. Thats the score I always judge my week against anyway.

I fully realise that. I just think if you're 10 points above all those people you can't have had a 'disaster'.

How do you check the average for the top 10k? I'd like to make that comparison too.

You can find that and loads more on https://fpldiscovery.wordpress.com/ if you have a look at the stats you can see if there is much that you are doing differently from the top 10k and might help fix and leaks you have in your approach.

km79 · 03-11-2014 07:46PM

I really really need a van anholt wonder show. matching chambers score would make me feel happier

dahat · 03-11-2014 07:50PM

Please Lord let Mannone start tonight....need even 1pt from hit and to stop the Krul auto sub in.

What would you consider 22 points?

John O'Shea hat-trick tonight anyone....

Sunderland defenders owners unite

clean sheet minimum tonight. I believe in them ( not enough to start PVA but Moore was dropped)

03-11-2014 08:00PM

Sunderland: Pantilimon, Reveillere, van Aanholt, O'Shea (c), Vergini, Cattermole, Larsson, Gomez, Buckley, Wickham, Fletcher.

Palace team to play @Sunderlandafc: Speroni, Kelly, Hangeland, Dann, Ward, Jedinak, Ledley, Zaha, Bolasie, Chamakh, Campbell.

Welp, looks like Heaton is coming off my bench with 3 pts.

SlickRic · 03-11-2014 08:03PM

Mannone dropped.

Hello Krul's 8 points.

Mannone out next week or week after.

KevIRL · 03-11-2014 08:05PM

Limited interest for me in this one. No one from my main team, rodwell missing so no one from my ultimate team. O Shea and fletcher from my season long untouchable team.

Main hope now though is no clean sheets and no attacking score from PVA
