I ended up only using two southampton defenders as one of the games they are directly up against my Chelsea attackers (so it really doesn't make sense to have 3 of their defenders)

Is the website screwed for anyone else? I'm finding it difficult to transfer players when they line all the players in a single file.
Mata captain 
I ended up bring in Clyne, Lambert, Puncheon, Lampard, Mata and Ba. A big risk but paid of today with good points from all with a extra game aswell. I also have 3 Arsenal/West Ham players in my team for next week. I will probably do 2 Arsenal/West Ham transfers even taking a - 4 point hit to bring in more.
with the late news of that Chelsea double game week, plunged the wildcard, and made sure I had Ivanovic, Ba and Mata (c), triple West Ham, Walcott and Sagna from Arsenal.
No room for Puncheon or Lambert, and figured with Chelsea being their 2nd away game, no real loss. I put Shaw in as a cheapie, and he's paid off whether he plays v Chelsea or not now.
Have the mid of Mata, Bale, Michu, Walcott and Noble, and attack of VP, Ba, and Berbatov.
Ideally wanted Fellaini, but would have meant Noble (double game week next week) out, and Ba or Berb downgraded. Although hindsight showed us Berb did nothing, home to Wigan could have been a big points haul. SImilarly with Ba really.
Also, if i'd taken Ba out,and put Lambert in, which of my front 8 would I have benched.
As it stands, Bale or Mata to Cazorla is the obvious transfer next week.
That's unless Noble is ruled out injured, then I might do Noble to Cazorla, and downgrade Ba to Pog for a hit. (if the Maths works...might not)
wow..what a lot of effort this game is!

Leading the head to head league. Boom.
Worth swapping Cazorla for Walcott? Will he play both games? (Chelsea and West Ham)
I would imagine that they would both play both games. Walcott is the hotter player right now, but Cazorla is going to get his points in the double game week. But I suspect that Walcott will out score him this week.
Anyway of keeping Cazorla and bringing in another Arsenal player for the double game week? Maybe a defender or their keeper.
I'm going to bring in Podolski for the double header.
I used my January wildcard to set up the two double game weeks and have Ba, Azpilicueta and Mata this week and Szczesny, Gibbs and Walcott for next week. Plus Cline, Puncheon and Nolan. Hopefully it will pay off.
Got 18 opportunities to score this game week. Rammed my team with Arsenal and West Ham players this week and gonna take them all out next with the Jan wildcard
This Arse double header is a pain in the arse. I want to transfer in another Arse but all their players are shite, I'm going to have transfer out someone decent who I won't be able to afford to buy back the next week.
That last minute goal cost me a fair few points with Rafael & De Gea both losing clean sheets, here's to hoping Baines, Fellaini & Jelavic can bag me some good points.
Bit of a poor week really.
Bit of a poor week really.
I have two players who haven't played for their clubs in my starting XI but I have a player on the bench who has played and got a lot of points. At the moment it hasn't subbed him in for some reason. Do they eventually sub the player in or what?
Once all the games have been played the auto subs will be made.
Is the site down for anyone?
Loaded very slowly on mobile for me there now.

Tough one this week, with Swansea and Liverpool playing twice. The problem is both teams don't play the week after, so I'm going to stick with just Michu, Suarez and Sterling.
I kept looking at my team last week knowing that there was something that needed to be done.
Now I realise I should have swapped Michu with RvP as Captain. I'm going to pay heavily for this serious error of judgement.

Have taken RVP out for Rooney. May have been an error, we'll see.

Fixtures for the next 5-6 games point in favour of Mata. That's about all there is to separate them.
Budget and positions aside on this one, what order would you rate these three to have from now until the end of the season:
Silva, Cazorla, Podolski?
I've got 27 points this week...
With only Bale and Demel left, who probably won't play.
With only Bale and Demel left, who probably won't play.
Watch out for Gameweek 29, only 6 matches scheduled due to FA Cup games. I reckon I can get 8 players out for next week at the moment.
Will have two transfers and plan to take out De Gea and Nastasic for two players with games that week. Then bring them back in the next two weeks or maybe use my wildcard that I have been saving.
Even with the two free transfers it only gives me 6 players.
Don't forget there are opportunities for extra points this Gameweek as some teams are playing twice (United included).
Very disappointing season this time round, hoping that RvP can score a couple of hatricks & we get a couple of clean sheets then everything will be alright

How come RvP doesn't get an assist for winning the penalty as well?
I'm sure I've seen instances where someone has won a free kick, taken it & scored & got the assist as well as the goal.
I want my extra 6 points

Swapped out Suarez for Bale and Diame for Anichebe.
Close to a top 50 finish which I'll be happy with.

Ive had a good few weeks and am on course for a top 10 finish - currently have 2 former RedCafe Fantasy Champs in 2nd and 3rd place which shows that this is a game of skill and not luck:

Only another 100 points will see me equal last year's total, yet I'm currently 9 places lower than where I finished last year.
Damn! I didn't join this league at the start of the season. Would have been in the Top 5 right now. :/
How are you lads getting on with this double gameweek malarky?
I took a -16 point hit to cram my team with players who play twice. I think I'm around 30 points away from a top 100 finish which is my target.
Need Bale to rip it up the next game!
+ Edit - Cheers for the update Rood.

For once I might have chosen the right captain. Rangel is at 16 now and Bale on 11, I reckon Bale will surpass him later though.
Congratulations Can Dogan. You've a hell of a weird name but won the league by a hell of a lot of points. Oh well, roll on next season!
