    Hoping Kun doesn't play now so Gomez will come off the bench for me.

    Didn't see the matches today unfortunately - how did Benteke and Sakho play? Link up well etc.?

    Christ that was a woeful start - 20 points with just sterling left to play.

    The only consolation I have is that if you look at the dream team, for the most part they're not obvious, none that you'd ever guess would be high scorers. That's what I'm telling myself anyway...

    Sakhos work rate was through the roof he was everywhere.

    17 with Cedric's points and Sterling to play, what an absolute disaster. No keeper next week, Saylor prob won't play, Cedric was taken off at HT so may not start next week, I swore I wasn't wildcarding early this season but that may change!!

    Yeah Cedric being taken off at half time was not good to see - was he really that bad does anyone know?
    Hoping Bellerin will be back next week too.

    Yeah Sakho looked much more dangerous than Zarate. I'm happy with him going forward as a Sakho owner

    Cedric was taken off because he was one poor tackle away from a second yellow. He'll probably start next weekend.

    Cedric was great going forward but he's clearly not the best at defending.
    I own him and am not too worried. Martina wasn't great either.

    This is almost certainly going to be the busiest gameweek thread in FSA history, despite it being a fairly boring gameweek.

    We certainly have a lot to ponder! If Aguero playing 90 will certainly send the transfers flying!

    Ye it's only 10-15 pts behind what is a decent score so far no panic.

    25 with Sterling left with issues around Fab and Walcott but like you I'm pretty calm about it.

    Walcott is a big issue though and easily solved.

    if he plays 90 mins, or even comes on and plays 45, Rooney to Aguero :)

    I'm walcotts biggest fan but I'll have to sell him. I knew it would be shortlived with him.but thought we would get till gw 4 with him. He probably will start next game but I'm not taking the risk.

    If Pell trolls us and Aguero isn't even on the bench there will no doubt be a lot of angry people rocking up!

    I might give him another week yet. Depends if there are any indications whether he'll play. Mirallas to Payet an option for me too.

    Such a "coulda been" week. My last decision yesterday morning was between Mirralas, Payet and Cabaye.

    We all know what he can do but we hit away with him not starting today.

    Imagine if Arsenal had scored 2/3 goals and he got 15mins, nightmare scenario.

    Walcott to Ozil I think.

    Mirallis got a fairly hefty knock on the ankle I think, check before selling.

    The Bournemouth west ham and Liverpool Norwich rotation worked perfectly. Only problem is you needed to pick the away teams ☺

    tbh i have no idea what his fitness situation is, and just going from what i read here, folk seem to think he'll get game time. if he doesn't play, i'll probably just carry over the transfer and stick with Rooney.

    Poor weekend but probably in the same boat as a lot of people so no panic yet, got 25 with Kun and Sterling to hopefully play.

    I'm surprisingly calm, I won't be doing anything rash, may have to swap Theo out for someone if he doesn't start next week. I think I will bank this weeks transfer unless something happens tomorrow night.

    Have we got a price watch thread?
