To make matters worse, I crashed my hard drive, a macpro, wiped out everything, getting replaced at the apple store, less than 25% backed up, so all my soccer bookmarks, info, data all gone. So I am in techno hell, bought a mac book, replacing everything, arrrgggghhhh!!!!.<br /><br />And I have another whole week to contemplate replacing my whole team, except drogba and verm whose discounts are too deep with double gamers. <br /><br />@kellz Absolutely agreed. Not giving him up, and will definitely grab Gibbs on the BD unless Clichy bounces back faster than thought. As I said earlier, Gibbs showed real promise. Which from me, given the way I am going, means he gets a red card the next game.<br /><br />The two DG'ers I like the most are Duff and Bullard, but both have injury issues and I don't know if they go twice?? Anyone have thoughts on that.<br /><br />The other problem is all the forwards on the DG teams basically suck. Saha is probably the best bet but Everton has the toughest fixtures. I thought ManU without Rio and Vidic would get shelled by Chelsea, but the didn't, so I don't know about the toffees. Toffee rips my fillings out anyhow, apt metaphor.<br /><br />So I am leaning toward Zamora wondering whether he can get in 2 games what Rooney can get in 1. At least when Villa had a DG there was some quality to select from. I think I am talking myself into rethinking this whole DG thing. Another week to go batshit.<br /><br />cheers<br /><br />chris mchris mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-86014429333998501182009-11-13T21:28:00.046+00:002009-11-13T21:28:00.046+00:00i can't believe "banking on a cleansheet&...i can't believe "banking on a cleansheet" is still on the fingertips of some posters!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-42665741395959442342009-11-13T20:19:34.510+00:002009-11-13T20:19:34.510+00:00@Bean: Agreed.

It's really hard to pick a MF these GW. I just can't drop O'Hara and I have Etherington on dc and I really want to hold onto him, someone might think it's points chasing but remember he is home to P'mouth, can it get any better...!!! So it's definitely going to be 3-5-2. As it stands for now: <br /><br />Schwarz<br />Verm,Paints,Baird<br />O'Hara,Dunn,Etherington,Duff(y),Bullard<br />Drogs,Defoe<br /><br />I could swap Ether for Zamora or Bullard for Geo and upgrade Ethe to Dempsey and Baird to Heiti...!!!<br /><br />Any suggestions...!!!Fidannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-17832834835393546702009-11-13T10:20:00.619+00:002009-11-13T10:20:00.619+00:00the Hull midfield is a tough nut to crack. I thin...the Hull midfield is a tough nut to crack. I think if I had to bet, i would say Geo has the best chance of starting both matches and putting up points. He has been a consistent points scorer and is only coming back from suspension, not injury. where Bullard is just coming back from long term injury and seems like it's a good possibility they don't push him too hard.. But he could still put up big numbers in one match if he finds last year's form. I've had Hunt for a week or two, but I'm done with him.beanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023186987058770884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-11017615958161399692009-11-13T10:15:49.179+00:002009-11-13T10:15:49.179+00:00or Bairdor Bairdbeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14023186987058770884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-8689935855264419392009-11-13T10:09:42.975+00:002009-11-13T10:09:42.975+00:00I think the Verm has definitely been cooling, but ...I think the Verm has definitely been cooling, but who's available in that 6.02 and below price range? swap for Gibbs?

Reasons:<br /><br />1)His points return has been average without a clean sheet. <br /><br />2)Arsenal just can't keep a clean sheet these days. Their attack-minded style leaves them vulnerable at the back. Also they concedes late goals when they leads by 2~4 goals and thinks the match is over.<br /><br />3)Arsenal's easy fixtures are over. They have Sunderland away next week which will be a goal fest. And they have Chelsea and Liverpool coming up.<br /><br />4)The lack of rotation sees Vermaelen and Gallas playing almost every minute of Arsenal football. Fatigue problem is gradually showing up.<br /><br />5)He's now being tight-marked at set-pieces.<br /><br />Finally, it's a good double-week(compared to the last) and it's much better to load up as many DGers as you can. I think it's a good time to drop Verm.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
