Krul (NEW) 4.6
Enrique (LIV) 5.1 – Bosingwa (CHE) 6.0 – R Taylor (NEW) 4.5
Mata (CHE) 9.5 – Silva (MCY) 9.9 – Arteta (NEW) 8.2 – S Wright-Phillips (QPR) 6.5
Suarez (LIV) 9.5 – Torres (CHE) 10.5 – Gervinho (ARS) 8.9
Total Cost: 83.2. Captain: Torres. Vice-captain: Mata.
That leaves 16.8 for the 4 players sitting on the bench which can be made of cheap players from the following teams:
NEW, WBA, QPR and NOR.
Other good picks for this week include: Aguero (MCY) 11.2, Cabaye (NEW) 6.0, Barton (QPR) 6.0.
My own team looks nothing like the above, but it’d do a lot better if it did. I do own Krul, Enrique, Bosingwa, R Taylor, Silva.
I transferred in Mata for Nasri. It cost me 4 points, but I made Mata my captain for the week so I hope it pays off. I’m guessing EVE are going to be very defensive playing City away this week. I just hope Nasri isn’t the player scoring and assisting the MCY goals. Chelsea have a good run coming up though so the transfer pays off. My only worry is how to get Nani into my team for next week when United play Norwich at home. If I transfer out Dempsey I can replace him with Nani if I can find 0.1 extra. Don’t know if I want to make that transfer though with Fulham playing QPR at home next week. I might transfer out Silva for Nani even though I’ll lose 0.2 on the transfer and Nani is only good for one week with Liverpool away the next week. Arteta for Dempsey will be a good switch that week with Fulham playing Stoke away that week and Arsenal playing Sunderland at home. We’ll have to see what happens.

Total points: 38. Average: 32.
Not so great. I think it was an unlucky week. All defenders and keepers were close to a CS but all let in a goal. Torres I think was a great pick but got sent off like an idiot after 38 minutes. Chelsea and Arsenal both performed so you would have hoped that Arteta, Mata and Gervinho would get some points, but not to be.
My own team is on 30 points with Barton and Agbonlahor still to play.
What really messed people up this week is the last minute Rooney injury. I wish I could have subbed in RVP for Rooney. Arsenal have some nice games coming up.
