The injury to Sturridge forced my hand for Yaya, so I had to take a chance on a potential goal-scoring midfielder

Hopefully Swansea won't score 2 or 3 tomorrow

How and why do I keep on getting beat?!!

All I want for Christmas is a win!!

Please Santa, I have been a very good boy this year!

Bugger! Forgot I had Tiendalli playing too

Me too. You've drawn over half your games assuming it ends that way. Also the first draw we've had in like 4 gameweeks.

Anyone who wants to buy / trade any of my Man. City players (Dimechelis, Silva and Djeko) please let me know

Welbeck and McAuley both available, looking for a swap for both. McAuley is a regular for WBA, decent enough side and pretty much guaranteed starting defender. Moyes seems to quite like Welbeck too so with his recovery from injury, it's quite likely he'll see his fair share of action.

I'm willing to trade Fonte for pretty much any regular starter for a top half side, so please make me some offers. He's very cheap wages-wise considering Southampton's record this season.

Ughh...another huge injury for my team. Van Persie is going to miss 8 games. Probably will barely feature for me now before I have to sell. He's the one player I really wanted in my team too.

Teams in by 12 please. I'm not going to be around for most the weekend again, but I will try to find time to update the site as best I can Saturday evening and then should be around Sunday evening to update everything.

Good luck everyone.

Not holding my breath on a 5th consecutive win here. Need Lukaku, Lampard and Schurrle to get something between them. A draw wouldn't be a disaster.

A win would be nice today!

Any sort would be nice, and the same will be said of my real team tomorrow!

Was just thinking the same, not sure my defence is going to be of much use today. I'd take a draw.

How to subs work? I take it one of my midfielders either have to not start the game for that sub to come in or one of my starting midfielders need to be subbed?

Typically Arsenal decide to finally give Walcott a start and he scores two goals. Left him on the bench as my number one sub. Townsend hasn't hardly played, what's the betting he sees the full 90 today?

3 attacking and 3 defensive points in the first game, is that good or bad?

Should be goals in this match Jack

You won't find out till the games over, but usually attack points are harder to get, so I'd say good thing.

No updates. I'll try get a chance later tonight.

You should be alright as Oscar isn't starting

Cheers mate.

Also need all of my starting defenders to play the full 90 minutes otherwise I may as well just hand Fab the win considering Sagna conceded 6 bloody goals. I need some luck!

Do I not get any attacking points for Fernandinho scoring two goals??
I know that he was only on my bench, but his stats must mean something surely??

Given that he's the third midfielder on your bench, I'd be amazed if he got any playing time.

Doh!

I am just scratching around, trying to find points anyway that I can at the moment!

I hoping for goals off the bench today

Whittlingham and Rodriguez are both first subs...

Looks like I'll need Spurs to get a couple though, jack's defenders look impregnable otherwise

And one of them has just netted at the right end too

I think I'm two goals up now, though my defence is taking an absolute battering again. Relying on Season's attack to remain this impotent...
