Back from the beach, and still top of the tab...Ah. Back from the beach, and still top of the table, another tropical storm forecast for tomorrow blew me, and Obama off of Chilmark.<br /><br />I hate being first. Too much pressure. I am #18 in the world, down from my brief time at #1. If Lampard had done anythng I would still be there. That, is absolutely too much pressure.<br /><br />Only change I made this week was to add Richards, dropped Paintsal. This due to fixture, and the presence of Lescott in the middle for City. This also makes Given a helluva of alot more attractive.<br /><br />This may be Lampards last week. If he doesn't score big vs Burnley he is gone. <br /><br />I am sticking with the Rodallega/Gomez combo from Wigan. They have come close a couple of times. My thinking is that an assist/goal combo is like a trifecta, beaucoup points.<br /><br />For some unknown reason I like Rooney against Arsenal. He is playing with real fire this year. He clearly needs to be the man and is stepping up. The danger, as cited above, is a red card. But I think physically ManU will beat the hell out of Arsenal. 2-0 ManU<br /><br />Modric needs to score some points for me.<br /><br />I am psyched. In the US Chelsea/Burnley is off at 7:30 am on ESPN2 in HD. Yeah! <br /><br />Chris m<br />velvet underground allstarschris mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-47950942225682228952009-08-26T13:11:43.103+01:002009-08-26T13:11:43.103+01:0010 minutes ago ;)10 minutes ago ;)Assistant Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04969590083093276952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-79650930967820188972009-08-26T13:10:30.398+01:002009-08-26T13:10:30.398+01:00@ AM

I feel Drogba is a keeper even if he doesn't score, he seems to be the target-man striker for Chelsea right now. Torres i have at a discount so i'd rather keep him over Defoe due to Torres's easy match-ups in the next two weeks. <br /><br />Midfield i have Lampard at a discount so he'll stay, Moko as the filler, Milijas as i think AM or someone had said before, everything goes through him. Deco may or may not be there in the end, have to see the starting 11. <br /><br />Wilko due to the discount, Bassong due to fixtures, Richards also due to fixtures<br /><br />Given due to fixtures and his form.mehicoradionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-64828829564982759012009-08-26T12:13:06.367+01:002009-08-26T12:13:06.367+01:00Hi Sam

I dont want to lose Torres' discount.<br /><br />4) Not 100% sure but confident nonetheless.<br /><br />5) Eduardo isn't certain to start and has a very difficult fixture.<br /><br />6) The 3 I have in my team at the moment.<br /><br />7) Myhill is cheap for a reason.

Defoe gets the easier match-up this week, but Torres has the easy schedule the next two weeks after this. <br /><br />If you have Gerrard at 18, definitely keep him 3 easy fixtures coming up. <br /><br />I haven't gone for Eduardo since as of right now it doesn't seem he'll get the start. Still i'm watching to see as the season goes on, if Wenger starts letting him play out there more.mehicoradionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-58134086297824695632009-08-26T10:47:44.591+01:002009-08-26T10:47:44.591+01:00My team as below:

Yesterday you posted 7 or 8 different teams in the space of a day.<br /><br />Anyway...<br /><br />1) There are no definitive "best three". You're replying to a 700 word article detailing the pros and cons of the top striker options, so you can now decide who YOU think are the best three. Use your own judgement, that's the point/fun of them game! :)<br /><br />2) I lke Defoe so Defoe/Modric for me.<br /><br />3) Only if you afford can to. Nothing wrong with 1 filler if's it's helping you to strenghten elsewhere.<br /><br />4) I'd take Lamps over Gerrard this week but if you have Gerrard at 18 then be careful as Liverpool have some great fixtures coming up so you might not want to lose that discount.Assistant Managerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04969590083093276952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-91468956941396507422009-08-26T08:19:42.884+01:002009-08-26T08:19:42.884+01:001)Which is THE BEST attacking Three??
