    Okay currently in a league and second bottom..

    This is why:

    Hart
    Vidic ..... Cahill ..... Jagielka ..... Skrtel

    Kuyt ..... Bale ..... N'zogbia ..... taarbat

    Bent ..... Ba

    where am I going wrong? should I take Ba and Vidic out? Which players are bargains?

    What is the best formation? What position should the majority of your money be invested in?
    Whos in your team? how is yours preforming?

    Tried posting it in GC but they more interested in comparing each others STD's and who can be the biggest keyboard warrior.

    You need to completely swap that team.. bring in Rooney, Silva, Young and take out Bale, Vidic, Kuyt, Hart
    Play your wildcard man!

    This week my team is (after playing wildcard):

    Begovic
    S Taylor Bosingwa Hughes
    Anderson Young Silva Cabaye Henderson
    Rooney Dzeko​


    Bench: Vorm, Jose Enrique, Di Santo, Huth


    Get defensive players whose teams have good records (like Fulham or Stoke) because they will be cheap but get clean sheets often

    Make your midfield the most expensive position, and players like Anderson are pretty cheap but still start.. Young and Silva will get loads of points

    Get someone like Rooney or Aguero in attack because they will get **** loads of points, much more than Ba or Best. Also look for players that have done well in the past few weeks but are still relatively cheap (e.g. Di Santo/Klasnic)

    Might want to take a bet on Best to perform fairly well! I'd keep Ba though. Get rid of Vidic, Skrtel, Taarabt and get in Steven Taylor (guaranteed games), Jose, and Cabaye <ok>

    You should never pick 4 centre backs, you should always try get as many attacking full backs, who play for teams who are notoriously stingy in defence e.g Bosingwa, Riise, Baines, M.Richards etc. That's the main tip IMO.

    Or get centre-backs who score like Hangeland.. he got 6 goals last season as well as a lot of clean sheets

    Some very good advice guys, I now realise I should have gone for a 1-3-4-3......Anyone on the skysports fantasy footbal sitel? as dont have a clue how to change formation...Theres no button for it and it doesnt do it automatically if I say remove a defender and select a forward!! **** you Jeff stirling!!

    It would make things so much easier if Ba could get off the mark :D

    Any ideas on potential transfers for this week?

    Thinking of putting big Mertesacker in for Ivanovic?

    Would free up 0.9m for next week and I'm not sure Ivanovic will even be playing as he hasn't got much game time also.

    Plus Arsenal have some "easy" fixtures coming up (maybe not considering they just got done 8-2 :D)

    Ruddy and Orr aren't going to be any good for you and I wouldn't expect too much from Taarabt either.

    I know mate, but they're only in there to make up numbers because they're cheap as chips and you need to have a certain amount of players :), they aren't ever in my starting XI.

    Taraabt I'm not sure about either, he scored for fun last season and tbh has looked dangerous this season without actually scoring. Got royally ****ed by the post a couple of times.

    Also he takes set pieces and is their captain I believe??? So he'll get plenty of game time!

    I'm more considering taking Sessegnon out at he doesn't look like scoring at all at the minute

    Where are you going wrong? That team is total gash mate! I cannae understand why you stuck Ba in there, even if he turns out decent we're never going to be a free flowing attacking unit so he won't gain massive points.

    My predictions, however, are known to be erratic at best and i'm often proven wrong. So here's hoping for a Ba hattrick against QPR!!
