I got 73 and I think you beat me in the H2H by just 4 points

Ah yes it was pretty close, I credit those 4 points to Osman and Mata's rather disappointing displays

Good luck for the rest of the season mate.

[Hutcho 8,443]

Yeah, the captain dilemma is here too. I want to put it on Benteke, at home against Liverpool! Or as you say Zabaleta! Guaranteed clean sheet!

Went through just for fun and re-did my whole team if i was to use the wildcard. And basically the result was having pretty much no defence. I also have a slight issue in that lukaku has gone down 0.1mil which may as well be 0.5 mil as it means if i get rid of him i can only buy a 7.5 mil player, and not an 8 mil one.

Gonna do as i said and let it ride, hope lukaku gets the start vs man utd and impresses then i can keep him and his value will go back up.

I fear the benteke situation will be another Michu. Everyone was jumping on the Michu bandwagon and i hesitated and then after 3 weeks i was like, well i have come this far no point joining it now. And that was my downfall. Obviously will have to wait til after gameweek 3 but i might have to get on board the train early. Hopefully loads of people quickly put him in now before realising he doesn't play W3.

I'm not transferring anyone this week, but I've changed my subs and I'm also having a captain debate...

How are Robin van Persie stats against Chelsea? Not only in ManUtd, but also in Arsenal?

I didn't watch their match against Swansea... I refuse to watch Utd, but how did he go? Was Swansea really bad defensively or did he do his magic?

I watched their game against Wigan - with my brother - but that can't be the parameter.

He kind of worked his magic. If it wasn't for RVP then swansea could have easily got a point.

I might probably be doing a swap of Lukaku to Dzeko if Dzeko continues to start for City. He looked pretty good too, linking up with the midfield. I am also not too impressed by Hazard, thinking of ditching him but haven't really given much thought!

Benteke for me was a season keeper! He isn't leaving my team unless he gets a red card!! I have already done my Ashley Cole to Coleman transfer as Coleman was rising! My team needs a little tweaking, should be good by the end of 4th Gameweek i guess!

Basic Rule of FPL: If you have RvP, you captain him!! He is fixture proof, meaning he will do whatever he does irrespective of the team he is facing! He scored twice at the Bridge last season, hence if you have him, captain him unless someone in your team has a very very easy fixture and is the main man to get the points!

but I don't want to jinx us. JDY already blames me for the Benteke goal

I don't want Robin to score because I want a clean sheet in Old Trafford... I want him to score against others - and for ManUtd to concede so they drop points.

If all of us captain him it seems like all of us want him to score...and we don't. Sort of.

Yeah, we all sort of have the same feeling somewhere in the season! But the decision is yours, see if you have a player who is playing somewhat small team who is very likely to concede and make him the captain! You will be getting the points of RvP anyway!

[Sidzeret 2,257]

Next week i think i am gonna take a bit of a gamble and make Zabeleta my captain assuming they can keep a clean sheet vs cardiff. Because we have united away obviously and RVP has to play against us. Only 2 of my team is at home.

I'm making Zabaletta captain as well. Is Baines a better option?

[Hutcho 8,443]

Baines has a better chance of scoring, though zabeleta should have scored in the last game. But west brom could well score vs everton wheras i can't see cardiff doing that even at home.

[Ankit 3,176]

Could very well be! WBA weren't very sound offensively in their last match and Goodison has never been a happy ground for the visiting teams. I would say you should go ahead and make Baines captain!! Free Kicks, Penalties, Corners!

[Hutcho 8,443]

I have distin in my team. But i can't see him scoring. And at least zabeleta gives me a chance at having a big gameweek if he can get a goal/assist and obviously keep a clean sheet.
