Haha, so glad I went with Hazard from the start, my mates thought he was a gamble but he's been so consistent the first few weeks on FF. Unfortunately, every man and his dog will put him in now. Before the season started only about 15% of people had picked Hazard, that's already shot up to 24% and will probably go up again after this Newcastle game 
I'm on 45 points with Clichy, Yaya, and Gibbs still to play tomorrow, and any other points that Hazard and Torres get in this second half!

Hazard captain.not sure if I still have Torres in or not, can't remember!
Why don't you just look?
Mismatch week for me. Have Michu, Torres and Hazard (and Vorm!) but Nani and Riise didn't play and two others didn't due to the rain.

Surely if you can post on here on your phone you can access the fantasy football site too?

True, but it's an absolute pain dealing with the small screen and tabs. Much easier on an iPad so I picked that up instead.

Transferred in Hazard (for Mata) and Michu (for Sinclair) this week. Good call 
Spurs players letting me down as they do every season. That's karma I suppose. Need to use my transfers on shipping out some others though.
To echo the above personally I avoid non-free transfers unless it is either absolutely necessary (to be able to field 11 players) or it makes such a difference to my side in both short and long term to be worthwhile. For example replacing an expensive player who isn't starting games with one who is on form, has a better fixture list coming up and likely to offer good long term returns may be worth it. If I feel I want to make more than 3 paid transfers I usually think about the wildcard.
Mertesacker will play today but I suspect Ramsey won't as he isn't first choice and Stoke away is the worst possible fixture for him as he gets a lot of boos and abuse from them following the Shawcross incident. I'd expect Wenger to 'protect' him from that barring emergencies.

Next week will be interesting. People (including me) who took great advantage of Chelsea playing twice last week are in a bit of a predicament as Chelsea aren't playing next week. Nor are Reading (who didn't play this week either!).
.There is an app, I'm using it.
Yeah I started using Fantasy Football Buddy(android). It is really good, manages transfers and such very easily.
Tevez, Toure, Shawcross and Gibbs got a few points back for me today. Lescott didn't play though.
