I have O'Hara at 7.12 as opposed to some people's 5.xx so he'll likely change too. <br /><br />For those who BD Nelsen, be aware that he is flying to New Zealand and back for the weekend in attempt to get NZ to the world cup for only the second time (after 1982). Win the Game and they qualify! Here's hoping it is a fruitful trip.undernewmanagementnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-79665131659920018042009-11-08T20:19:48.357+00:002009-11-08T20:19:48.357+00:00SF: Drogba only 1 SOT and YC which was wrongly awa...SF: Drogba only 1 SOT and YC which was wrongly awarded for the ref thinking he flopped. <br /><br />And yes Liverpool are out of sorts at the moment. But the long interational break will give time for Johnson, Torres, Riera, and possibly Gerrard to recover. I guarentee that Liverpool beat Citeh a Anfield. But Given can make enough saves to get positive, I just think a double keeper is the way to go. I forsee a low point week but positive for Given. And since I bought him for 6.89mil and hes not 7.79mil it was easy for me to drop him for the DG and pic khim back up.Kellznoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-51651713373187378332009-11-08T19:29:34.745+00:002009-11-08T19:29:34.745+00:00Oh dear. 54.5 points.

And still, overall I'm up this week by 60 places, and I hope I won't drop a lot after the Liverpool match (0-0 please!!!!).<br />I didn't make many changes at all. O'Hara, Hunt, Vermaelen, Drogba and Gibbs all stay. Fabregas and Given will too - Fabregas performs really well, and I believe Given should have a good at Anfield (yes, if you haven't noticed - Liverpool aren't that good). I'm not so sure about keeping RvP, but with 3mil discount, and with Rooney, Berbatov, Keane, Defoe and Anelka unstable, he'll probably stay after all.<br />I BDed Zamora and Nelsen as Double-gamers, along with Hunt I already had. Nelsen is a weird pick for me, but many will take him as well anyway. If I find any other worthy replacement, he'll be out. Etherington is also in on BD - home to Pompey, great form.<br /><br />Given<br />Vermaelen Gibbs Nelsen<br />Fabregas O'Hara Hunt Etherington<br />Drogba RvP Zamora<br /><br />Any advice?<br /><br />SF<br /><br />PS: What happened to Drogba?! Half a point? Really?! He has never got under 10.5 before... it IS a bad week!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-50371449791636951982009-11-08T18:42:04.589+00:002009-11-08T18:42:04.589+00:00thanks Kellz,

Through Givet in the defense. Hope not too much on Blackburn. <br />Actually dropped Etherington to get more double gamers.<br />Probably going 3-5-2 with the plethora of MF options that look good for the double. Not sure who to pair with Drogs up front have about 12 to spend. Any thoughts?

He's at 7.75 a game right now, and that plus not having to worry about my 2.00 keeper of choice putting up a -12 every other week is more than worth the price.<br /><br />If I was buying at current prices, I'd probably think differently though.J.

Though Hunt at least got an assist and Heiti will be starting in the midfield today. <br /><br />Even though i don't have him on yahoo, glad Etherington scored, help out my team on the premier league site.<br /><br />For the BD i grabbed AY, Carew (spot holder til the Fulham game is over), and D. Dunn. Also grabbed Etherington yesterday. Giving me at least 4 set-piece takers for next week.<br /><br />Planning to take a striker from Fulham, for the double week, likely Zamora. Probably going to look for someone to bring in to replace Gibbs as well.mehicoradionoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-80913416662481382862009-11-08T15:10:42.708+00:002009-11-08T15:10:42.708+00:00Christ, now Stoke give up a goal to Hull, and Olof...Christ, now Stoke give up a goal to Hull, and Olofinjana no less? Can nobody keep a clean sheet this year? I really wish there were some defenders under 3.00. Alexander is indeed looking like a good season keeper at this point, and I'm glad I grabbed him on a points-chasing lark before his price went up last week.J.

Robinson 3.35<br /><br />Gordon's apparently broken his arm (or more accurately Defoe has broken it), so Fülöp's probably going to be available for awhile.<br /><br />I thought Jaaskelainen was going to join the ranks of the bargain priced, but with 7 SVs and 1 PKS, he still managed 5.0 points after a 5-1 thrashing.
