I've said it before, but its your input that makes the blog interesting.<br /><br />Skip/Bojan - See Arsenal post for my thoughts on the future of this team (to be posted tonight).<br /><br />Gunner - first of all thanks for posting, and you've assembled a very nice looking team. Having suffered through several failed 4 points losses a couple of season back, I would almost always recommend avoiding spending points, apart from favourable double week matchups. <br /><br />Your defense looks in good shape and I really like Everton, Villa and Arsenal though obviously Shawcross carries some concern. That being said, while United have done well on the road this year (8 in 3), last year they scored just 25 goals away from Old Trafford and Stoke are very solid at home. After the epic derby they might relax a little and Shawcross is therefore not a disaster of a pick (especially consider his threat from set pieces).<br /><br />Spurs have a great fixture so Lennon and Huddlestone are a lock, and Ferguson also looks good value against a poor Bolton side. Jimenez has a potentially tricky trip to City, so long as he comes through this week's Carling Cup game. Lampard is obviously a great pick.<br /><br />I would therefore propbably go with Vermaelen, Baines, Distin, Collins, Lamps, Ferguson, Huddlestone, Lennon, Torres and either Shawcross/Jimenez depending of how much you fear the United attack at Stoke. Both of those boys should give you 2 points so Van Persie would have to get a minimum of 6 for you to break even.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-92046462183403021162009-09-22T10:54:19.300-04:002009-09-22T10:54:19.300-04:00Hi Chris,

I'm a first time user/reader of this insightful blog.<br /><br />I've got a query (i've been going back and forth with this in my mind), which i'd appreciate your advice on;<br /><br />I'm currently 3rd in my private league (6 points behind 1st). i've already made my change for the next GW. Vermaelen in for Lescott. Now, i've got drogba in my team as well but he'll definately NOT start/play this weekend due to his injury (i pray it's just cramps).<br /><br />GK<br />Hart<br /><br />Def<br />Vermaelen<br />Shawcross<br />Baines<br />Distin<br />Collins<br /><br />Mid<br />Lamps<br />Ferguson<br />Huddlestone<br />Lennon<br />Jimenez<br /><br />FW<br />Torres<br />Drogba<br />Altidore<br /><br />I've got two scenarios i'm thinking of;<br /><br />1) Dropping Drogba to the bench and only playing Torres upfront. Playing my full compliment of defenders and starting Huddleston, lennon, ferguson and lamps. My reasoning behind this is, i reckon drogba will be back for the next game and taking a 4 point knock (WC already used) might hurt me in terms of losing more ground on 1st place.<br /><br />2) Take the 4 point knock by dropping Drogba for either RVP or Saha. Maybe even going as far as taking an 8 point knock by bringin in both RVP and Saha (altidore out). I've got the cash to do this. But that would mean i'd need to sell twice to bring Drogba back in. Plus who would be the better option RVP or Saha?<br /><br />Your advice will be very much apreciated. I look forward to your reply.Gunnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908072993031410757noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-38031959463948690422009-09-21T22:30:32.163-04:002009-09-21T22:30:32.163-04:00Chris, I must say, since following your blog I hav...Chris, I must say, since following your blog I have fared much better in fantasy as well as keeping up with current trends and news.
