I am irked because I had Cahill for awhile then dropped him for Nani, who sat. I kept Rodwell who didn't look as good as in the past couple.<br /><br />Big consideration this week is the CL fixtures, who plays, who gets hurts, and who might get rested next week.<br /><br />My major dilemma and I think many of you share this, is what to do with the midfield. There are two sure bets-Lampard and Gerrard, then maybe Fabregas and Ash Young, but then after that there are a big series of question marks. There are some one offs, like Benayoun but I don't think he is a long term hold.<br /><br />Then there is the question of who starts? For the big clubs there are just too many options, thus I get stuck with Nani sitting this week. Outside of of three players above, its now just about impossible to figure out who starts for Chelsea, ManU, Liverpool, Arsenal, and soon Everton, and Man City. For that reason someone like Gomez for Wigan, who I stupidly dropped for Diaby this week, now look like solid long term picks. And then too, many of the surer starters for the big are worth nothng as fantasy players, Mascherano, Fletcher, Ballack, Essien who seems to be backing up Mikel now, even Gareth Barry, and Steve Ireland, aren't putting up points. <br /><br />So I finished with 85 or so. I would have been 30+ that if I stayed with my first hunches and kept Cahill and Gomez. This leaves me irked. This week I get screwed by Nani and Torres, who both screwed a lot of other people.<br /><br />My solution to the midfield problem is to put my $ up front and stick with Drogba/Rooney/Torres. I have BD'ed Rossicky who I hope doesn't get hurt, I would have stuck with Modric. Hell they play alike, look alike, have the same body. And both get hurt all the time. I put Gomez back dumping Milijas. Which leaves me trying to figure out what to do with Diaby and Rodwell. <br /><br />Let's try to have a little discussion of my perceived midfield issues. I think its a problem for many of us.<br /><br />chris m<br />velvet underground allstars (falling fast down the table)chris mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-7861740279372019162009-09-13T19:38:49.086+01:002009-09-13T19:38:49.086+01:00Not a great week for me... but I ended up right ar...Not a great week for me... but I ended up right around 80pts, which is what I seem to be averaging over the last few anyway. Torres was disappointing but I think I may hold onto him at 15. Have a lot of options for Week 5. Here's where I'm at early on.<br /><br />Myhill<br />Vermaelen (Season Keeper), Distin, Dunne?<br />Hunt, O'Hara, M.Tay, Young<br />Drogba, Torres, Tuncay<br /><br />I've still got 5.74 to spend. I'm fairly happy with that however I would like to slide a certain Arsenal player into the fold. Am hesitant to switch out Hunt, but he could be the one to go to make room for Cesc (or maybe Lennon?). I screwed up and played with my lineup before, so I lost my slight discount on M.Tay.<br /><br />Do you think Taylor will keep it rolling against Stoke? (Could swap him instead of Hunt maybe)<br /><br />Any other solid options in place of Dunne on the back line?<br /><br />Was also giving Liam Lawrence a look. Any advice?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04748810651605336622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-66303390118009656292009-09-13T19:27:28.215+01:002009-09-13T19:27:28.215+01:00ToffeeDave, what do you think of Heitinga?

Benayoun isn't final yet. If he doesn't start on mid-week I'll surely keep him, because Benitez is known for his rotation, but he'll start against WH anyway, and never forget the 'Playing-Against-Former-Club' sindrum.<br /><br />I've decided to keep: Given, Verm, Lampard, S. Hunt, Drogba and Defoe.<br /><br />I think I'll keep Bent too until October, when he has back-to-back meeting with Liverpool and ManU.<br /><br />My biggest hesitation is about wether to keep Skrtel - if anyone has a better option I would be glad to hear it.<br /><br />Have a nice week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-31116313272328882182009-09-13T18:59:39.537+01:002009-09-13T18:59:39.537+01:00He's already in my team haha.

Yak is in another class of strikers a la Drogba, Adebayor, Torres where on their day they simply can't be marked.

I could switch him out for Taylor or Cesc or something.
