Well a close fought game between Cogidubnus and Team Shag. Only 1 point in it. Close

 

[Raymond Lin]

I'm sure that when I looked earlier in the week he was £8mill but when I transferred him this morning he was £9.5mill.

I did it Saturday night and he was still 8mil.

 

[Pighardia]

Anyone with Anelka in their team should get him out now. He has left West Brom, and possibly retired

I know he looked like a bit of a bargain at 6.5m

 

[Wink]

Really not sure what to do with Lukaku.

I think Mourinho will give him a fair bit of game time but will generally start either Torres or Ba

 

[Brabbinho]

I think Lukaku will start on Monday so will give him one more week...

Any link for that? I haven't heard anything.

I couldn't risk it, with Luiz and Mutch not playing from my team. I've jumped on the band wagon with Benteke so he better deliver.

Benteke is a guarantee start for the next 37 games (if fit).
Lukaku is not a guarantee start for any games.

Forget goals, just playing 60mins per match will get you 2 points so Lukaku is a risk, unless he turns into Droba mk2 in the next 3 matches or something

 

[Brabbinho]

I've got Benteke, Soldado and Lukaku presently, so I'll give the latter another week to see if he starts and then replace him

Ive already made my sub for this week, might have to just bench him until I can get him out of my team

 

[piggeh]

Kasami and V.Wolfswinkel in this week. Not making too many changes, early days.

 

[RoboCod]

Ithought the Anelka retirement story was BS? He is just on compassionate leave!

 

[Doomedspeed]

Liverpool vs Villa poses a challenge, do i bench (not making any transfers) Struddige and Migolet or Benteke? Tough choices..

I expect Benteke to put one past Mig, and Liverpool are not at full strength at the back. So I'm going with Boruc this week.

Indefinite leave apparently. His agent died.

West Brom head coach Steve Clarke says Nicolas Anelka has told him he wants to quit football - more on #SSN

Seems the original reports had some truth to them.

 

[mcleish]

Already used my Wildcard. Bad gambled selection from the start leaving me way behind! Putting Torres in was the worst decision in my fantasy career!

Wasn't his agent a relation of his? IIRC it was his older brother, I could be wrong

That's what I thought as well but it's just being reported as his agent. Sounds like he's been hit really hard by it hence why he wants to give up.

Cannot blame him one bit..

I wish him all the best.. Sad times though, he was/is a great player (and maybe even role model).
