I did decide to join my local English Pub's league because
1) It's on ESPN so I didn't have to register a new account and
2) Free beer for weekly winner, big bar tab for season winner
So, I might as well talk about my squad in here
Given
Cole--Hangeland--Huth--Sagna
Silva--Cahill--Wilshere--Arteta
Torres--Suarez
Bench: Begovic, Jose Enrique, Arshavin, Chicharito
Really like the team, costs exactly 100m, and of course that means I will suck. Torres is captain this week with West Brom coming to the Bridge. Should be a monster week.
EDIT: Swapped Wilshere and Arshavin for this week because of injury.

Wow Shifty, didn't think you could get a team like that... Looks like it should be more than 100M.
Same goes for you, leungtl.

I'm on ESPN, so values might be different. Here are my prices:

I'm such a ******* moron. Put Demba Ba into my squad going into the second half, and he missed the game because of the Cup of Nations, and then spent like 4/20 transfers trying to rework the side for the next game only for Senegal to get bounced in the group stage, so Ba will probably be back. FUUUUUUUUCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!

LOL at my team at the beginning of the year. Torres and Suarez!
After the cup of nations debacle, I have surged within 7 points of my friend BJ who is in first place, mostly on the back of Gylfi Sigurdsson and Papiss Demba Cisse. Starting next week I have finally dropped David Silva who has been very average in the second half, for Stevie G, which allows me to upgrade a **** defender to Vermaelen. Rooney was a new add for Demba Ba last week. Here's my team for the stretch run, with 3 transfers in the bank for injuries.

Alright, 3 weeks left. Here is my team...
Swapping out Rooney for Tevez has cost me the lead going into the final 3 weeks; I trail my friend by 5 points. Here's what I'm thinking
I have one transfer left and my first instinct is to swap out Tevez for Jelavic. Jelavic has 2 games this week, which is a big advantage, and his final 4 opponents are Fulham, Stoke, Wolves, and Newcastle.
The other one I am considering is swapping Bale out for Fat Frank. He also has 4 games, and he is playing more under Di Matteo, but he gets some days off. If he doesn't play, I will get Leon Britton off my bench, who is good for 3 points each week, about the same as Bale the last few months.
The third option is to go for broke and write off van Persie. He hasn't been very good in the last month with the exception of a game against Wolves, and I'd probably swap him out for Jelavic who has the extra game. This is a much bigger gamble, since my friend will undoubtedly be playing van Persie for the final 3 weeks, but Arsenal are just jogging to the finish it could pay off immensely.
What do you think?
After typing this all out, I think I'm leaning toward Lampard because Bale has turned to ****, but the Jelavic for van Persie is an intriguing gamble.

Bale out definitely. Tottenham have been **** lately.

Yeah, if there was a real alternative to RvP I'd consider him, but Jelavic isn't guaranteed to score either, and Rooney has been up and down. Fat Frank it is... I'll just wait and make sure he doesn't get hurt tomorrow.
