I couldn't be bothered to confuse myself on the Jensen issue.<br /><br />Vermaelen stays, O'Shea is in with a possible CS and is sure to play with the UTD injuries, and Fergie being unhappy with Rio.<br /><br />Alexander has a good chance of a CS, as does Shawcross who is dangerous at set pieces.<br /><br />Milner is the first name everyone should have on the team sheet for the double header.<br /><br />Reid has a great home match up, Boateng continues to produce the points, as does my last selection Elliott.<br /><br />Yes, I dropped billy at 4.71 to try something different. O'Hara was available at a similar price, but to have KPB and O'Hara together was not the wisest choice I thought.<br /><br />Drogba stays until the ANC.<br /><br />This last spot caused me all sorts of problems! Diamanti and Agbonlahor both have 2 opportunities to rake in the points against Rooney's 1. There was also the consideration to drop Rooney for Berbatov and save 5.5+ to spend elsewhere.<br /><br />In the end I took Rooney in the belief that he will have a great game, get back on track, and earn a lot of YFF points.<br /><br />Thank you for listening, and I hope it has confused you even more.)<br /><br />Best of luck.GTR 34noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-44770198934025787382009-10-31T09:35:58.719+00:002009-10-31T09:35:58.719+00:00Given

But it is that crazy to keep him for one more week in spite of this?<br />My fear is that he'll be injured for next week too... and to keep a player for 3 weeks in a row without getting points isn't that good.<br />So I couldn't afford O'Hara instead, but it's probably a bad idea to have him on the same team with KPB. Kightly and Rodwell also came through my mind, but it's really a matter of faith here - of course I'll take the wrong decision.<br />I just can't press the 'save' button. Losing a discount of 4mil on such a good player seems like a suicide mission. And it just for one more week, right?<br />If you have any idea what to do, especially with Osman and Pienaar waiting to come back, tell me what you think.<br /><br />SFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-78869820914650603952009-10-31T05:08:27.971+00:002009-10-31T05:08:27.971+00:00Hi AM,

We'll see what happens over the course of a few weeks. Barring injuries, the one major variable here will be the ANC when all of us holding Drogba will have to scramble for alternatives. I continue to be absolutely amazed as to the extent I actually have to seriously think about playing this game. It really takes more effort than I though possible.<br /><br />good luck tomorrow<br /><br />chris mchris mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-55036209241545940742009-10-31T00:33:13.914+00:002009-10-31T00:33:13.914+00:00@Chris M,

I always figured things that way in the sense that discounts are golden, and if you have deep discounts on hot players it's insane to drop them. But I noticed last year a couple of the teams at the top were swapping out a different squad each week, going for matchups, player form, etc... I think the main thing is to not let the simple fact that you have someone at a discount be the reason you keep them.. sometimes it feels so clever to have a huge discount on players and that's all we tend to worry about. <br /><br />So I think a more "stable" approach to a team, where you find a good core squad that you want to keep unless injured and you let their points come to you as opposed to chasing the flavor of the week. I'm no statistician, but it seems better odds to keep a player for 2-3 games before dumping them. As opposed to picking a player up and dropping after one game if they don't peform. Just seems like totally gutting your squad week in, week out is more like trying to hit a moving target, chasing points, etc..<br /><br />wish I could get back to Drog,Torres,Rooney again but just can't at the moment.

Three factors, injury status, Pienaar perhaps replacing him, and difficultly of upcoming schedule as Dr. Teeth pointed out.<br /><br />I was going to take a flyer on Aquilani, but now he's definitely out with a virus. I think Swine flu is going to be something we all have to keep an eye on in the coming weeks.<br /><br />I decided against going for any double gamers. To avoid losing deep discounts the only player I could sell was Rooney and I am hoping for a 20+ performance from him.<br /><br />I had a thought, and I would like some comments on it if any one cares. We all started the year with a finite amount of assets to purchase players. Many of us have players at deep discounts we would never think of selling, the two foremost examples for those of us who have had them from day one are Verm and Drogba. But with other players, especially this week with the double game issue, there is a lot of buying and selling going on. Every week for that matter. It seems to me, that while the 100 pt figure is still static, managers who trade a lot are constantly slightly eroding their purchasing power. Thus many of us are gradually ending up with lesser players and more limited choices.<br /><br />For this reason, I have reached the point where I am leaning toward becoming static for awhile.<br /><br />My lineup this week is:<br /><br />Given<br />Verm Heiti Seabass<br />Kightly Dunn Duff O'Hara<br />Drogs Rooney Torres<br /><br />The only player I am unhappy with is Seabass, but the only two defenders with any interest to me at all this week that I could afford were Mancienne and Spector who might be a double gamer. The only change I definitely see coming is bringing in Aquilani when he's ready.<br /><br />Torres's fitness is a constant worry. But thus far nearly all of the leaders have relied on this front 3. From my perspective, if it ain't broke don't fix it.<br /><br />Now of course, this week, Milner Diamanti, Agbonlahor, will all run amok, ring up 40 pts a piece, and blow the season wide open for those that went the double gamer route. The way I have been going, like saying Lampard was through, people should do the exact opposite of what I am doing and they will do well. <br /><br />cheers and good luck<br /><br />chris m<br />velvet underground allstarschris mnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-58955003408803358552009-10-30T20:45:48.674+00:002009-10-30T20:45:48.674+00:00@Bojan - SkySports thinks that Diamanti will start...@Bojan - SkySports thinks that Diamanti will start.
