10 points with three to play, thought it couldn't get worse than last week but it has.

At least I have the wildcard to distract me now

Same as although I have 2pts coming of the bench lol

Down 3 million places at minute on my finishing position last year- must be a record!

Oh, yeah I was unsure about that. I just looked somewhere else after making that post which implied Man Utd were playing mid-week, must have read it wrong!

They have a Champions League qualifier.

Theo can forget his chances of coming on when they're on the defensive late in the game. I thought he might have had a chance of starting against Palace. Still don't see him starting regularly anytime soon though. He only clicks with certain fixtures.

Edit: Is the Capital One cup on mid-week? That's where we'll see Theo for sure, no wonder he didn't start.

Even as an arsenal fan, I'm puzzled by wengers logic sometimes. They got the win but like many surprised theo didn't get a run at all tidy

24 points with Ibe and Benteke (C) to play.

Have played my wildcard. I want to go 3-5-2 mainly.

Mr Average has improved a lot this year with all these bloody chips.

33 points this week.

Have Mahrez and Payet since day 1 thank god .
The 2-5-3 chip worked out okay. Henderson to go.

Sterling, Kane and Rooney to make way for Aguero and as yet unidentified 2 others.

Its kind of great, height of respect to anyone who pays their tenners every year and gets tailed off from the getgo time after time before losing interest. And now suddenly find themselves 40 points clear and lording it over the boring experts. Tis marvellous imo.

Top 3 in my league are bottom 3 from last year. I've already got one of them to do a side bet.

Holding my GW rank in the 3million club. Down to 2million in overall rank.

So after 2 weeks, my money league is being topped by a guy with the likes Falcao and Coleman. The same guy finishes around 300k ever year.

To see the teams 50 points ahead of be is hilarious. It's like they just decided to throw all indications of form out the window and do the exact opposite!!!

19 points from 10 players. Still have Clyne to play tomorrow. Have got absolutely nothing from my XI bar a point for Cech saving thrice. Worst of all, the player I was considering ahead of Bolasie is on the bench with 9 points.

FHFC

41 with Gomez to play. 78 total. But for my sub order blooper GW1 I'd be looking at 90 and a very good start.

Have most of the hot players in that i want. Defence and gks need sorting soon but Wildcard almost certainly staying put for now.

kronsington

28 with Milner to go.. Should have trusted my gut and ditched sterling and Walcott. Two of the most over hyped players I can recall ever. Can't figure out the best arsenal/Chelsea/ city mf combo between silva, haz, Sanchez, Ozil, toure, Fabregas. Difficult to fit the first three into the team

Sorry to cut in, I'm playing a decade this year (since 05-06) and don't remember any season like this.

I'm on only 82 points this evening from the two GWs with just Tekkers to go and I'm more than happy with that seeing the situation others are in.

I do think things will revert to form though. For example, Chelsea may be in a bad patch but are the champions for a reason.

Same. Never seen a year like it. Combined with the fact that the casual's favourite players have gone fcuking nuts, it's a disaster.

To conpound matters, ye may have noticed that if you autofilled your team, it selected some very good players instead of random muck. It means a lot of fun teams are about 40 ahead of me.

Currently on 46 points for the season.

Mint Sauce

44 with Cpt Bentake and Henderson to play. Considering a 4 to 8 pt hit to make 3 to 4 changes to bring in Aguero. Knowing my luck at this game he will either get crippled or sent off.

Meanwhile, the top 3 last year are in the bottom 5.

Mr.Prodston

38 with Gomez and the Henderbus to play. A quiet eve from Benteke would be nice.

Pleased though as things stand with this week, in terms of other peoples horror shows anyway. Ayew in for Theo paid off, Wessi who was only in ahead of Brad Johnson to enable Theo over Ramsey is also working thus far. While having Aguero from the start I feel was justified today even with just the one goal.

The less said about my defence and it's make up the better. I've got major issues with Mings and PVA while Gomez is far from guaranteed his place. That's before we get to double Norwich :P Better options to Pelle and Rooney should hopefully be clearer in a few weeks and they're capable of doing things in the meantime, as is Hazard who could be Sanchez or Silva in the next GW or 2.

Maybe I've got more fires I need to put out than I thought, but I will try to hold firm on the WC and take it week by week and make it to September. More problems could certainly reveal themselves between now and then.

I don't think the start has been all that mad. Week 1 perhaps but stuff is starting to revert to somewhat more normal now.

Two recent seasons have had an unusual start with a DGW in GW1 cause of Chelsea in the supercup so that might be skewing things a bit.

The chips are throwing things out of balance at the moment. I'm seeing a lot of them already used in my various leagues.

40 with Clyne left, im happy enough.

Need to figure out what to do with Kane, im going to give him another week.
