Week 24 - Update
Until then I have added a link to each fixture below, which will take you through to Yahoo's Matchpack page. Yahoo update these pages with the latest news coming out of the manager's press conference's throughout the day, so it should come in useful...
Wolves v Liverpool
Arsenal v Wigan
Blackpool v Sunderland
Everton v West Ham
Fulham v Stoke
Man Utd v Birmingham
Newcastle v Tottenham
Aston Villa v Man City
Blackburn v West Brom
Bolton v Chelsea
As for my own team, I can't put together anything I'm really happy with as I'm badly hamstrung by the money invested in Bale & RvP, but I refuse to budge as there's still 14 weeks to go & those discounts will come in extremely handy! This is what I'll probably go with:
Reina, Caldwell, Kolarov, Bale, Anderson, VDV, Adam, Nani, Dembele, RvP, Torres
I'm almost certain I'll settle on Torres over Bent due to the better fixtures for Liverpool, so Walker has to be downgraded to Caldwell & Anderson comes in as a filler. He was rested at Spurs so he has a decent chance of starting one game and could feature in both, so for 4.7 I could do a lot worse. Dembele is my one big doubt - if team news can't confirm his starting status he'll probably go for Watson, Dzeko or Santa Cruz. I'm obviously missing great picks such as Meireles & Rooney, but I can't do anything about that unfortunately.
I'll be back tonight (probably very drunk) to update you on any major news you need to know. Until then, please let me know how your team is looking as we move within 24 hours of the biggest double-week of the season so far!
Cheers,
AM

genius 1st!!
what about Carson @ 1.0 to free up some cash? I had Reina for the last double and got -9!
AM - fellow readers, I'm considering N'zogbia, but as transfer rumors persist, is he still a viable candidate for the double week. - S
4th!!!
Encik Mawe
good point about nzogbia. the same goes for charlie adam. Liverpool, villa and probably other teams show interest in him.
kean seng here! i'm 4th! first time. hahah.
Yup, pretty much stuck with my bargains that I have gotten early in the season. Don't forget... i am a shrewd businessman! Wanna learn from me?
what about albrighton?? is he a good choice??
albrighton or vidic?
Rooney / Downing or Rodallega / Nani ?
I would choose albrighton over vidic.
@miecio, Rooney and downing for sure man!
ashley young ro downing? which one should i go for?
OMG...are u drunk...and give us advise...hahahahaha...great....
Albrighton may lose his starting place with Bent and Makoun now at Villa.
Looking at the starting positions listed on yahoo Albrighton is not there....

which one is better for this week santa cruz at home against west brom or carew away to fulham?
the line up on yahoo is just a predicted line up...theres players with doubts but yet inside the list...take it with a pinch of salt
Actual squad will only be out half an hour before the match kicks off.Cheers
Carson
nelsen,bale,kelly
vdv,nani,downing,dempsey,adam,
van persie,santa cruz.
i can bring ashley young instead of downing but hard to decide who is better to have for a double game.
will take any advice but thats my team for now.
Thank you.....I am never sure what to think.
I was not making changes based on it but....had my hand on the button!
http://www.manutd.com/en/News-And-Features/Football-News/2011/Jan/Rafael-fined-by-FA.aspx
I don't see myself making many changes
Reina
Kolarov/Pantsil/Ferdninand
Nasri/VDV/Adam/Meireles
rvp/Rooney/Bent
A voice in my head keeps saying Glen Johnson but that would take too much restructuring. I could swap Pantsil for another Liverpool Defender like Agger or Walker. Agger might not make it through two games though.
has anyone thought about aurelio for liverpool, is he available, might he play??
K. Walker + Meireles
OR
G Caldwell + Dempsey
I like Meireles better than Dempsey, but I'm worried that he may sit the second match with Gerrard coming back.
I had just finalized my team:
REINA
CALDWELL, SKRTEL, WALKER
ADAM, NANI, KUYT, LUCAS, DIAME
TORRES, RONNEY
Made some crazy decision to get rid off VDV from my team. I got a feeling that he might not get good point this week. Banking on 11 players from double gamers..
Good luck to all managers

any comment

with everton playing west ham i think i will have a good first match return from howard and beckford.. willing to take the risk with chelsea out of form..dembele will play if he is fit and he will go to work.
I am kinda stuck on some discounts though..this teams real value is 126,58 :O
Please help
G.Caldwell or J.Heitinga
Is it better to pick DGW or matchup ?
(caldwell could concede a few at arsenal )
Anon:
Caldwell a better pick.. Heitinga maybe left at the bench..Jagielka back in the team...
Mr. DrA
please help people should i get van der sar instead of downing? who will score big points?
van der sar can get 2 clean sheet n downing will have tough time against city maybe.just need some help.
Thank you
anon @ 5:19
Anon:
hard to predict who gonna score big points.. if we look into point consistency, i would say Downing a better choice than VDS.. So go for Downing..

Should I replace the suspended Torres with Berbatov or maybe upgrade two ther positions?
Anon:
Please read carefully..more than 20 people wrote Torres is NOT SUSPENDED!! So make sure he is in your team :-)
Mr. DrA
too many discounts...
foster @5.2
kolarov - bale - coleman
VdV - nasri - nani - vaughan
RvP - dzeko - rooney
only 3 DGers but replacement value 147.25
Foster will sure drop points, might as well get Reina. Drop Bale and Nasri and you free up some money for DGers.
Chalked up 7 DGers to try and beat my friends in private leauge.

Given a lot of thoughts to this team. Think need a few tweaks? Comment apprieciated.
-JS
problem, anon, is that i have bale @ 13, nasri @ 8 and foster @ 5 -- all of them discounts of 5+. if i dump then i can't bring them back. and all have decent runs of matches against weaker opposition coming. even foster -- it's united this week, but he's the highest average-scoring keeper in the game and has had some big weeks against tough competition. meanwhile reina is as likely to put up minus-5 as plus-5.
@gaius i love your team, don't change it. I have 7dgers and the remaining 4 are players i have on discounts. I dropped Nasri and Lampard because their discounts wasn't much.
I have Torres on a 4 discount so id like to keep him but i dont want a zero this week while he is suspended so i'm torn !!
Frankly frank- you need to drop Torres because besides the suspension he's also out injured, early reports say he'll be out for a month.
Not only is he suspended but he's alledgedly on a one-man mission to do a geological expedition on Mars, blasting off tonight at midnight.
I think the suspension is just a rumour though
Pauly
Bale picked up a knock in the training today and will miss the game tomorrow. Watch out
Which goalkeeper is better?
Reina/Friedel/Szczesny?
http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/21012011/58/premier-league-fergie-ll-play-rafael.html
I think i'm gonna get Fabio into my team :)
I need some help picking the best XI:
Reina & Rooney & Walker
OR
Van Der Sar & Gary Taylor-Fletcher & Kolarov
I feel that Van Der Sar is guaranteed points, whereas Rooney isn't guaranteed points. But the 1st option is all 2 gamers. I'd welcome any thoughts.
To clarify, the 8 players I'm keeping are:
xxx
Kelly, caldwell, rioferdy5, xxx
VDV, nani, meireles
RVP, Bent, xxx
This is a fantastic blog, however there are several people providing poor information, know what you are talking about before posting.

I have read several of you guys posting on big discounts here and that but remember one thing, discounts are useless if your players do not perform consistently. Make sense?
Anyone see anmy glaring mistakes with this team:
Reina
Bale/Kelly/Caldwell
VDV/Adam/Nani/Carrick
Torres/Dzkeo/Bent?
any thoughts

Paul -- Torres is suspended this week so drop him.
@Anon 1:21am & @Paul:
TORRES IS NOT SUSPENDED
The 5 Yellow Card rule was only up to 31st Dec 2010. From 1st January 2011 a player will need to reach 10 YCs before the second Sunday in April to get a 2 match ban. 15 YCs accumulation up to the last day of the season will get you a 3 match ban which will be carried over to the following season.
Torres received his 5th after 1st Jan 2011. He is available for both games in the upcoming double-week.
AM provided this info yesterday.....
Cheers
marco
Reina
Kolarov Caldwell Figueroa
Nani VDV Adam Albrighton Meireles
Torres Rooney
I had Friedel originally, but I'm kinda nervous that Man City are scoring quite a lot now. Upgrading to Reina means I need to have 2 Wigan defenders :(. Any suggestions?
Reina
Bale Coleman Kelly
VDV Adam Giggs Albrighton
Torres Dembele Bent
What do you think? I need an opinion please!!!
It nearly killed me to do it, but I dropped VDV @11.4. If I had him at 6 it wouldn't have been a question, but I wanted to fit in VDS and Nani this week and that was the only feasible way for me to do it. Hopefully it works out.
VDS
Kolarov Caldwell Kelly Walker
Adam Nani Meireles
RVP Bent Dembele
Good luck everybody!
y nobody mention bout d.kuyt ????!!!!
anyone pls advise on this
what about rodallega??
bent or downing?
rodallega will have tough games
Hey AM,
How you so rich?
Kolarov, Bale, VDV, Adam, Nani, RvP, Torres
is a expensive price.
Which discount prices?
-RICHO-
RICHO, AM has Kolarov at 4+, Bale at 13, VDV at 5, Adam at 8, Nani at 17, RVP at 9 and Torres at 14.
It's not impossible.
I'm just too lazy too chance.. So this's my final: carson, kosc, kelly, caldwell, young, nani, adam, nzogbia, rodallega, ,agbon, rooney
-Cuy
so many anon's, i miss the regulars
hello!
Hello anyone got suggestion about D.Etuhu from fulham?
Will he plays DG?
Thx for help
duff or dembele? pls help comment!!
is it wise to remove VDV FOR berbatov or torres???
carson,bale,koscielny,stam,VDV,nani,adam,m davies,RVP,dzeko,bent
gk: szczesny
def: r.stam bale coleman
mid: adam silva nasri anderson
frd: dj campbell berbatov RVP
that one above is mine. PLEASE COMMENT
@Anon 7:33, yes Etuhu will probably play DG.
@Anon 7:49, Duff is a better choice because there is no confirmation that Dembele will play.
@Anon 8:24, it depends on your discount for VdV. If you have a discount of 6 or even 11, then by all means keep him. At any rate, i would personally stay away from berbatov.
@Anon 8:37 you should drop dzeko, he doesnt have a DG and his price is pretty much the same as last week, you can get him on BD
--neoncoffee
Darren Bent&Meireles or Torres + Joe cole Comment please :D
joe cole? you having a laugh?
which forward will be u guys first priority? darren bent or Torres or Berbatov or Rooney? Please comment n give some advice ^_^
Lads, Just ignore anyone who keeps saying Torres is suspended, everyone knows he's not suspended. They keep posting just to annoy people. Don't respond to their posts, it's no coincidence that they always post anonymous........
somebody help me... i can't decide... it's tearing me apart... my guts are churning... etc etc
downing+bent or albrighton+torres
... or even nani+varney !
ROONEY OR TORRES + bent dzeko
