Damn, not liking my chances in the cup this week, looks like:

Me:
Vidic
Gerrard
Adebayor
Santa Cruz
Benjani

Opponent:
Cahill
Fabregas
Bentley
Tevez
Berbatov

Very different teams this week making the whole thing less predictable but overall I reckon his players have been in better form than mine. Going to need a lot of luck or a lot of changes to get through this I think.

I've screwed this up so badly I deserve to get knocked out of the cup. Decided that I needed to swap my team around so I used my wildcard.

First mistake - I dropped Benjani
Second mistake - I've just realised that I forgot to pick my best eleven from the squad I have so I've got players playing who should be subs.
 
Ive done pretty poor today. Berbatov captain (assist), Almunia (clean sheet), Ferdinand (clean sheet), Hleb (assist), Tevez (assist)

Got a few to play, annoyed as I was gonna put Wheater in (he's on my bench) and he scored!
 
Looks like I might get away with my screw ups. Currently scores are tied but I have 2 points to come in from a substitution plus Gerrard, Dunne and Howard to play whereas my opponent only has Lescott and Cahill to play. I'd be looking even better if Forsell hadn't been brought on for the last 20 minutes today as I've also got Lescott on my bench who now looks like he'll be staying there.

How many others have we got still in the cup? By my reckoning anyone who has got through todays round is in the last 32000 or so.
 
Yeah I thought he would have got suspended for that too but he played against Spurs. So I take it he was meant to be suspended for the Spurs match, but they agreed to play him, and have him suspended for the derby match instead
 
Nope no agreements. Thats just the way the rules worked. They mentioned in the cup that he would be suspended for the City game. Sure someone can explain why it worked like that cos I'm not sure.
 
My team - your views please

Green

Ferdinand - Belletti - O'Brien A - Lescott

Ronaldo - Davies - Hunt

Anelka ( C ) - Tevez - Benjani

Subs Gordon - Pearson - Flamini - Laursen

I have 1.0 over in the bank

I am thinking of taking hunt & Flamini also Green out and replace with Jo Cole or Wright-
Phillips and Jaaskela-
inen that leaves me 5.1 to buy a donkey midfield
 
My team - your views please

IMO you've got way too much money sitting on your bench. I play with at most 1 'proper' sub all the others are just the cheapest players I can find to free up money for the players who are actually playing.

Not sure what Laursen is doing on the bench either, he's been second highest scoring defender this season and needs to be in your team in place of O'Brien
