  id go with walker or carragher if you really want a pool defender.he played wisdom the last day and took him off to switch to 4 at the back with enrique coming on.i expect wisdom to play on sunday.that could mean johnson or enrique missing out.its a nothing game so id go with walker if i were you

  The obvious tactic if you just fancy a free bet is to tweak one player only, probably better value than gambling on the £250 lottery.

  With transfers done and superleague pretty much sorted, gives us something to occupy a week with
  
  £250 for the best team, given all the games are the same day that seems geared up for the multi entrant who covers all main player eventualities having seen the starting line up.

  These were not the best performers of last season, but merely the ones FFS chose. Gylfi and PDC were both half-season wonders. Correct me if wrong, but rooney for one must have had more points that PDC last season.
  Vrom + Tremmel = 142, second highest, same as Jaask.
  Gylfi, Dempsey were both somewhat doubtful, moving into a set team such as spurs. Dempsey will be a good pick for next season methinks.
  If Rio goes off, Evans will be a monster pick for next season - he is getting goals and assists now.
  Agree with the rest. Silva will be there and thereabouts. He is still the main man for city
  
  
  Of these, Rooney and Silva are probably the big examples of players who have had no reason to be worse this season, but somehow are just nowhere near as important to have. Rooney has performed in bursts and is no longer even playing; Silva has been anonymous FPL-wise for much of the season. I think he's only once ever created a buzz about him.
  
  As a Liverpool fan, I still say it's Siggy and Dempsey's fault for making the wrong choice of team - if they'd gone to Liverpool, they'd be must haves again by now...

  Very odd week for me. I'm on 52 with Hart, Mertesacker and Silva to play, which is a pretty decent score, better considering I captained Bale and my rival, who I've moved ahead of, captained Lampard! Just think how much better my week would've been if I'd captained Sturridge as I had originally planned, and hadn't benched Michu for the first time this season

  Of their 5 best players, he inherited 2 (Tevez and Kompany) and spent £87m on the other 3 (Silva, ag and yaya), plus astronomical wages.
  
  I know there is an element of having to pay over the odds, but he has been given the time and the money, but they have gone backwards this season.
  
  
  City have just as an important player to them as RVP has been to United. Yaya Toure, no coincidence that while he was out of the team they lost a lot of ground to United and never recovered it.
