    I'll take the Begovic 3 points all things considered.

    Better than nothing but i brought him in at -4. Still it's a long term plan and i was not comfortable playing McCarthy today. Would have gone for Myhill if i knew he was still first choice.

    I didn't. Romero and McCarthy were my keepers and I just said 5.0 for Chelsea guaranteed starter was good going.

    Beginning to wonder how much Chelsea defensive coverage is actually worth though...

    Looking at some of my cash leagues, Aguero is a major differential as captain. I really hope he can turn the league tables around and knock the poor FPL players off their pedestal.

    With palaces makeshift defence and poor home form, and aguero scoring in midweek, the omens are good. This is the week:cool:

    It's not rotation since both Silva & Sterlign are slightly injured but you could be right though and Yaya may be the great FPL beneficiary of all this!

    I'm already regretting not going Silva -> Yaya for -8 this morning. I see his 15 pointer coming. Everything's backing it up. Stats, form, Palace H2H recent history, no Silva, no Sterling...

    I wouldn't worry yet, best to take a long term view. Yaya is no spring chicken and will be certain for rotation too with the CL games in mind. The whole City defense could be a rotation minefield.

    I'm already terrified at the prospect of having not captained Aguero.

    Thats a rush of blood to the head? Most would just call that sensible.

    Almost a perfect result for me in that game, Pedro blanking is annoying but enough people in my league have a couple of Chelsea players so it's not the worst. Delighted I sold Lukaku this week too, 3 goals and nothing for him. Would have been raging :pac:

    Yaya has been rarely rotated in his whole career. I'm not sure he'll be rested much (unless he gets tired at some point).
    I agree about their defense and their wings options though.

    Thought the white captain thing looked weird! Ok thats a bit more like a rush of blood to the head hope it comes off for them I have him regular c'd. Not super bad I guess but seems a bit of a waste of it.

    Had Pedro on the Bench for this game, so 0 points after the first match after transfering Barkley out this morning. Looking like having Chelsea players is not the way to go this season.Hoping Pedro gets them rises, and I bring Barkley back in to the fold.

    I was only saying it last week to a friend that it would be insanity to use any of your triple (C), bench boost etc before the DGW's come up...and here I am. Sanchez has a good record vs stoke and there's always goals in this combined with Walcott starting and Sanchez supplying I thought why not.

    I mean I could be completely wrong :pac:

    1.9% ownership for Naismith.

    Watch that spike next week.

    I hope you get rewarded with a monster haul! Pretty much no matter what happens you are bound to regret it next year when everyone has theirs used during a DGW and you end up going into it hoping your captain blanks twice!

    Come on Andrew Surman (my 5th mid who'll come in for Silva).

    A lot of double Arsenal defence around. A Stoke goal would be extremely welcome.

    I think yaya will also get the odd rest Delph being injured helps short term. Yaya is 32 now I think they should look to keep him fresh for tough midweek cl games or he may need a rest after them. From pellegrennis quotes I took it that silva could have played but they wanted to take no risks due to cl.
