And who is that way out in front? Oh, it's me!

Despite having Walcott and Ramsay in my team.

Sitting pretty in third.

23rd out 26 with 36 points

Still, with Mata, Hazard and Lukaku still likely to at least get 90 minutes between them tonight, I feel confident I may yet climb to the dizzying heights of the top 20...

Thread stickied.

ps Capi, enjoy the gap while it lasts. I will catch you before the season ends. Bet you a monkey head on it.

7th so far. Expected worse having Kosc, Walcott and Ramsey in the team

Anyway what happens with Chelsea's game against Villa tonight? The points scored will be counted as gameweek 1 points?

Yeah.

I'm think there may be no point in having arsenal player in until after gameweek 8. Always start slow and build in from there.

I've got Walcott as he always seems to get goals or assists without necessarily playing well. But I've got Cazorla too which I think is a mistake this early on. I've done ok this first week but after Chelsea's game I expect I'll drop a few places.

And I suspect this post will probably be one of the last times I think about the fantasy football league this year!

Taking Arsenal defenders or Cazorla has definately proved to be a mistake.

I have Kos. Gonna keep him too if his noggin is in tact.

Also have Ramsey and Giroud. Ramsey cos I was stuck for a cheap option in midfield. Ollie cos he's a solid fantasy selection I reckon. Unless we sign a foward he's still starting striker for a top side. Already scored 2 goals too. Doesn't matter what his overall game is like.

Anyway I'm waiting on opta to rule on the Hazard assist, gonna make a big difference to me.

Coleman coming off the bench should push me back up into respectability for the week anyway.

I've got Mert and Walcott from Arsenal.

Per plays lots of games and we have one of the best defensive records in the league, Theo always racks up goals and assists over the season.

"After review of TV footage and the game rules an assist has been awarded to Eden Hazard for the first Chelsea goal. His shot was saved by the goalkeeper and a goal was scored from the rebound."

Still top, but only just. There is no way on God's green Earth, or in the seven circles of Hell, or even the firm, ripe breasts of Heaven that I will be top at the end though.

You got lucky with Mignolet. Smart team otherwise.

i did. Not there. The email isn't even being sent out, I suspect from me opting out of updates.

I went for Koscielny, Walcott and Giroud from Arsenal. Just got to have Walcott because he is listed as midfielder (as is Michu btw!) and you can be sure he will rack up 15 goals and assists during season if fit.

Didn't know that, thanks!
