Hes 50/50..I would swap him for someone else.City is not an easy game anyway
or at least VC someone decent if your determined to keep him but you would be gutted if he only came off the bench.

My app says 75% chance of playing. I'm happy to keep him despite having a poor subs bench but he's not my captain (that honour goes to Sterling). If it were me, I'd choose another captain as Arsenal's game is tough as well.

I really don't know what to do with Mata, he scored me points vs Sunderland, but not so much against Burnley.

He is under threat from Falcao and Do Maria, so perhaps I should drop him, but then he is our joint top scorer (yes that is not saying much when we have only scored two goals!), so decisions, decisions!

Do Maria?? That's a rare film...

I'd sell Mata. I can see Rooney playing behind Falcao and RVP, especially in home games and that doesn't leave much room for him (shame, as he's very effective in that No 10 role). Not sure why Moyes bought him if Rooney was staying really. I can see a 4-3-1-2 type of lineup finally settling in if central defensive injuries persist - and three in the middle is more competitive (Di Maria, Herrera, Blind/Carrick).

This week, though, it's QPR at home, so it must be tempting to keep Mata until the tougher games start when LVG may sacrifice him for an extra body in midfield. Who knows? It's not easy to see how all the new players fir in without upsetting a few players (RVP and Mata are at most risk, I'd imagine).

Bring Di Maria in to your FF team instead of Mata? His stats suggest he won't score as many but his assists should rack up the points and he'll play most weeks.

So Ramsey starts. I decided to keep him in but strip him of the captaincy. It seems like that was the right move for me, I can't see him scoring loads of points against City.

Who's your captain now?

I had Costa as my Captain as well, also Alexis as my Vice-Captain.

I had Costa but had Fabregas as Captain. 2 Everton defenders as well

I have Kolorov as well who came on late for City but contributed an assist

I've also got Arfield who missed a penalty...

I had Costa as captain too.

I wonder if Costa will be like the season when Ronaldo got 42 goals, in that everyone had him as their captain, so it kind of nullifies any advantage that doing that might have in the points stakes?

Well, if everyone has Costa in their team, I guess I'm the one plummeting down the table this week. I had banked on Costa being a bit of a flop at Chelsea, but I guess it's not coming off for me.

Another completely indifferent week for me.

Was planning on keeping faith with Sturridge but starting to think I might get rid, unfortunately I cant replace him with Costa as Ive already got 3 Chelsea players...Fabregas, Hazard and Scherle.

Might have to try and be a bit creative, already used my Wildcard though so it could be expensive

34 points as captain this gameweek, he would be worth the transfer penalty I think

Motson on Costa. 'I bet those who put him in their fantasy teams are very happy'. Not if you didn't captain him John!

Only if you couldn't afford the extra £0.8m for Di Maria

It's not much of a secret when you've registered it under your DS username….

As predicted, I've plummeted down every league I'm in. Looking at the results on the H2H League, it looks like I've acquired the 3rd lowest amount of points this week.

To add insult to injury, I had Kevin Mirallas on my bench, and Rooney as my captain would've doubled his points...had Sterling not come on in the Liverpool game. Bad day at the office.

I have Di Maria in another Fantasy Team, so that is okay.

Very good weekend for me, although I don't think I have anybody in tomorrow's match.

All I need is for Elmohamady to score 3, assist 3 and keep a clean sheet tonight and my week can still be salvaged!

Putting Wilfried Bony and Aly Cissokho in my team this week probably wasn't the best idea...

My faith in Welbeck's worth at £6.9m in the Fantasy Football is paying dividends this week at least - 1 goal and 1 assist so far. I NEED a good week
