    Oh wow, I had a good weekend.

    If I hadn't left Sturridge and Sess on the bench it could have been a whole 17 points better - though captain Clint and Al-Habsi were inspirational decisions. :coma:

    Think Arsenal-City has 0-0 written all over it this weekend, so I'm going for captain Sturridge.

    How come you left Sturridge on the bench against Villa? And do you not have any Utd players to captain? That was Sturridge's first goal for 15 weeks.

    The last sentence kind of answers the first question, and with Chelsea on a poor run of form and away I thought Pogrebnyak would have been the better call.

    I have a thing about not having any non-Arsenal top players unless they're cheap and useful - I have Jones who I considered captaining, but I'm nowhere near the top of this league so I figure some wild gambles might make me a few places in the last few games.

    I suppose it's a risk that could pay off given they have Wigan, and he'll probably start.

    I remember going through a period when I didn't have City, Spurs or Arsenal players when Villa were around the top 4/6, those days seem a long time ago now...

    We'll batter you the form we're on, we'll brush you off like we did with Liverpool and Stoke

    Nice! What are they?

    I've got mine sorted for this week and all potential plans sorted up until pretty much the last week.

    What I've realised though is that too much planning can be a bit bad though (I try and go overboard)... I'm going to make the pretty much required transfers as needed but make my differential ones closer to the time when I check out the form of the players.

    Would be nice to win this league but if I have to make crazy transfers to win my other ML which leads to £ then I won't mind too much...as long as I win that one :grin:

    Planning to save a free this week. Then i will have 2 gw 33 and 1 for GW 34, by which time i will hopefully have 10 players to put on the field. Going to use the final 4 weeks to catch up big and bring in differentials. I've already won one of my other ML's and it's quite close in another. This is the one i really wanted though, to wipe the :smug: off Colbert's face. Alas it's probably out of reach now.

    I'm giving Dempsey 1 more week and then selling for Walcott :shh:

    My plan looks pretty set and the only thing that can ruin it is injuries
    I won't be bringing in rotation risks like Mata/VDV.

    Wish I could get onto FF at work and plan for the final few weeks.. I've got a 40 point gap to make up.

    Ahh nice. Hopefully I'll have 10/11 players for GW34 and then maybe around 7 or so for the DGW. Very possible to still catch up though, just got to keep up on the differentials.

    I ...might be doing the same with Dempsey

    I'm not too sure with Mata/VDV, going to assess them closer to the time, they're potential massive differentials.

    I'm having a 'mare with my transfers this week.

    Totally lacking any inspiration.

    Mata or Valencia for captain? I have faith in Mata! He's my idol <3 Also, QPR are doing surprisingly well against the good teams.

    Spent hours pouring over my transfers and then realised I screwed up because I won't have the right amounts of money for each week. Had to re-think :facepalm:

    Think I've worked out what I want to do though. Not going to change that much for gameweeks 34 and 36 just a couple of transfers me thinks.

    The deadline is at 16:00 and the Newcastle-Swans game is at 16:15 - and I already used up my free transfer. oh well, hopefully the players I have on both sides will play.

    I hate this fixture haha. Ba, Ryan Taylor, Neil Taylor, Krul,

    Decided not to play either of the Taylors, and a bit hesitant with putting on Ba.

    I think Mata will be rested.

    Well..it'd be a good idea to rest him anyway; he looks a bit worn out from having played so much.
