Chelsea v Man City on Monday. I'm not sure I have 11 players playing in any of my teams this weekend but i'll be entering them all. Gotta be in it to win it. Rooney, RVP and Suarez all look tempting but will starring one of those be enough without a full team playing? Might be time to think out of the box again.

Looking at how many teams I have left... I dont think I can be so choosy about which ones I enter.

Massively reduced field with no Chelsea or City players.

The likes of Vidic being injured also has an impact.
Those Liverpool blocks (QPR at home) could be very useful!

Only entered 14 of 61 teams because the others had at least 3 Man City/Chelsea or injured/out of favour players.

Fair to say my enthusiasm has been on the wane anyway and couldn't be bothered trying to find some hidden gem of a starman to put in these remaining teams

Those 14 have either RVP Suarez Rooney or Welbeck captain

All my Man City based teams..................the (possibly not so) lucky dip button will be in full use this week

Yep, reckon it'll be quiter this weekend. I still entered all of mine though.

Decided to go big on Ba* this weekend, he scores well away and RvP, Suarez, Adebayor will be too popular a pick I think. Rooney maybe a surprise pick tho - he's off the radar at the mo.

Just Lucky Dipped 60 of my 61 teams, starred the striker that the Lucky Dip chose, didn't even look who they were half the time, except one I noticed as Robbie Keane n/a so I starred the midfielder instead.

almost half of my 12 teams are chelsea blocks or at least 3 city defenders so not much chance.as mentioned already 'think outside the box' only a mix of 3 starmen for me.long,bendtner and agbonlahor

Knew I had a problem but didn't realise how big. I only have 1 of my 61 teams with more than 8 players this weekend. Only 35 entered due to time issues. All the others have at least 5 not playing anyway so not too fussed. Steve Morison is my man this weekend!

Where do you find the above info?

Added and starred Nani in a fair few entries, nothing defensive to go with him though and precious little in the front 6, ratings, MoM & tomorrow's games to make the difference I guess.

RVP helps me and just about everybody else

Best I think I can do is:
Chesney
Mertesacker
Gibbs
Jones
Enrique
Lampard
Arteta
Dempsey
Suarez
RVP
Balotelli
Verm
Nani
Rooney***

Any chance?

I reckon that team will end up with 105 points after ratings.

Got..

Shawcross tp
Verm
Nani
Dyer
Sessegnon tp
Ba star
Rooney
Suarez
Rvp

Rest are injured or Citeh
Not much hope as Sinclair, Suarez, Enrique, Roon, Nani, Rvp, Ba etc. are all popular picks

I've got one with great potential - IF Bale scores well tomorrow (and he might not even play )

Friedel

Kompany
W Brown
Richards
Olsson

Nani
Bale *
Moses

Suarez
RvP
Rooney

Smalling
Adam
Ba

Thanks Ashers, reckon that'll be enough? Seems to be an odd week with the likely players scoring but every team missing some Chelsea/City players

Looks good for £100 to me but may just miss out. I have nothing this week barring a miracle.

101 tops IMO, can't see it winning but possible £100.

My teams only got a chance if Sess or Shawcross both perform outstandingly, now I've had more unlikely things happen so who knows. (I'd guess it being at 81 atm, unless Ba gets SM)

Would be very surprised if it got anywhere near winning but £100 would be nice (not that it's likely that I'll see it this side of next Christmas!)

Think your about right on the rating although is Arteta based on a CS and a rating of 6 or lower? If so he got booked as well which would see another point wiped off.

Maybe 100 will be enough for a prize this week. Here's hoping!

My Wigan block got 9 goals, had 3 players score 2 goals and starred someone with 1 goal

Thats the problem with Wigan blocks

It wasn't by choice, I've got 8 Wigan players

Only other option would be a team with:
Enrique 8
G Johnson 8
Dempsey 0
Sinclair 8
Nani 13
Rooney 18 (assuming a star man)
Adebayor 8
Van Persie 13 (assuming a star man)
Ba* 36 (massively assuming a star man)

112 if that all comes off and am more than likely to lose at least 15 of those starman points.

j hart 0
W Brown 3
J Woodgate 3
M Richards 0
J Mata 0
artea 5
bale 3
R van Persie 13
W Rooney 13
L Suarez 13
T Vermaelen 8
Nani * 36
E Adebayor 8

obv looking for all the ratings to go my way but cant seeing 105 being enough maybe good for hundred quid.
best i can do

Actually managed to get over 100 this week, ratings for the likes of Larsson & Klasnic will make the difference for me I think.

This is about my best I think

GK D de Gea MAN £5.0m
DEF C Smalling MAN £4.0m
DEF G Johnson LIV £4.5m
DEF P Jones MAN £3.5m
DEF J Enrique LIV £2.0m
MID C Dempsey FUL £4.0m

MID D Silva MCY £5.5m
STR E Adebayor TOT £4.5m
STR S Aguero MCY £5.5m
STR L Suarez LIV £5.5m
.............................................
DEF D Agger LIV £4.0m
MID A Young MAN £5.5m
STR R van Persie ARS £7.5m *
