Lol. 27 for me. No hit. Pelle and Wanyama to come.

The icing on the cake is the long list of injuries I now have and I need to ship out Clyne. The hit I took actually covered itself and made me 2 points with Dave's clean sheet, why oh why didn't he score.

Rose (Doubtful)
Downing (Doubtful) Scratch that, injured.
Chadli (Doubtful)
Moses (Doubtful)
Coloccini (Injured)

I'm up **** creek without a paddle and a -8 looks like it's on the cards for next week.

No need to panic yet, Forster to save a peno and score a goal, Clyne to score and Pelle to assist them both and get one himself. I got this. :pac: :pac:

Not quite as bad but my injury list reads
Baines
Downing
Coloccini
Duff

Just did Welbeck to Austin! Thought it was the right move selling one of my fit players!!

36 with clyne and tadic to go

47 with 4 to play, decent considering I accidentally slept in on Saturday and couldn't make any changes

Nothing confirmed. Big Sam was slating Hodgson and said something along the lines of 'we need to be careful with him now or he could end up out for a couple of weeks which could be 4 games for us'.

I'm hoping he was getting a dig in and Downing will be back next week.

Ah crap. Shoulda read the updated news on the transfers thread before posting that!

Edit: Still can't find any update, just rumours.

Here are the Allardyce quotes....

"It is something we have to cope with as a squad, but it is disappointing that you come to face Everton and, through no fault of your own, you lose your players. That is the way it is today."We need to be very careful about our fixture list coming up and if we risk a player on Saturday, if it aggravates the injury even further, then we could lose him for two or three weeks, and if you do, you lose him for four or five games."

I'm in the same situation and -8 or -12 don't frighten me anymore (I mean if my players are bound to get 0 pt whats' the big risk ?) . It may be time to play agressive tactics and attacking football .
I have 2 FT so must give a good kick in the nuts at my team. I feel this could be a good week to do it since there are some key changes in the fixtures difficulty (e.g. Saints/ Swansea opposite fates).

Come to the dark side sometimes attack is the best form of defence.

Can't believe I've risen 1000 places today with two points (and I'm inside the top 30k)

Really want Villa to score tomorrow....

Anti Thank.......

Similar to a lot of others here: 38 (-4) with Forster and Pelle to play. Rival is catching up. Can't let this happen, will never hear the end of it

Dropped 331 places to 5.4k and have Pelle, Clyne and Hutton left with Chambers' 1 point to come off the bench. On 30 points so breaking 40 is the minimum aim for tomorrow.

27 points so far
Pelle, Wanyama, Bertrand to play

2 points to com in off the bench.

Awful game week with Captain Aguero misfiring

It's not really awful as not many will have gained much ground.

If you captained Aguero over Costa (and own both) you only missed out on 4pts, the equivalent of a transfer hit. I wouldn't worry too much about that. It's the weeks where a big player scores double figures that you lose ground. Only Hazard is in this category this week and most without him would have Fab instead for 2pts less
