On the other hand, it's even worse when you have players playing on the Monday and they do feck all. I brought in Lukaku & Baines last week and had 2 players on the Monday for the first time in I don't know how long. Paltry return of 6 points from 16.4m worth of investment.

It really depends on how did you do in previous games. I had a good week so far as some other posters and having another 3 players to go tonight can only improve overall ranks. It is all about Costa, Hazard and Chelsea defenders. If you have 1 of each you won't be dissapointed.

Even if they do nothing as this will affect everyone who have them and will hurt those who don't.

Yeh its a lot more interesting having a few playing! I normally seem to have very few Monday players and its normally a case for hoping for a boring 1-1 with random subs getting the goals! Tonight and nice one sided thrashing would be good to see!!

Chelsea? More chance of a lunar eclipse

Yeh doesn't seem to be something they have in the locker but it would be a nice Christmas present for most of us!

I hope You are right.

Any chance for Azpi to be rested again? Clyne waiting with his 8 points:mad:

If Azpi didn't play today that would be a sign of him doing 90 minutes in the next one. He will feature I guess and if he does 6-7 points are up there.

I do hope Stoke won't repeat what they did to City earlier this season. That would be a disaster.

I've got the Clyne 8 point bench sadness as well. If Jose wants to rest up Hazard for his hatty against West Ham, I'd be perfectly fine with that.

He better not. He will put him for last 10 minutes and that's it.

All or nothing. I don't want Costa or Hazard benched. Azpi? Maybe.

You know that's what they do;)

An assist and 5 points will force you to keep him for another week or two. Then he will score 2 weeks later and get a yellow, then another blank etc. You will never get rid of some players.

Ha, bit like Baines, 1,1,2,1,1, next game has to be the big point scorer:rolleyes:

Last chance for him next week.

Any chance Schurrle starts tonight? Have the option of bringing him in tonight in Ultimate but thinking I will probably be better off keeping hold of the 3 points from someone else.

EDIT: just realised the deadline is kick off so will have plenty of time to see the line ups first!

I've a feeling Terry may be rested tonight with Ivanovic moving in to the middle.

away to Stoke ? no chance
but he will be rested soon.....

Hope you're right. I have Terry and my opponent has Azpil. We both have hazard and Costa.

Costa brace with the 3bps would do nicely! He owes us guys who have kept him! More likely he gets booked though...:(

I hope Jose can look deep into his heart and rest Costa tonight, it would be a nice early Christmas present

Hadn't even considered that for a second and I have Charlie Austin as vc, it'd be smashing if he couldn't play for any reason, I even have 5 points coming off the bench for Neil Taylor.

Courtois; Ivanovic, Cahill, Terry (c), Azpilicueta; Mikel, Matic; Willian, Fabregas, Hazard; Diego Costa

Fabregas in that position I feared he'd end up in.
