Transfers:
Ivanovic (OUT) / Lescott (IN)
I projected GW2 to be a low-scoring GW, and so it was. I ended up with 52 points (post -4 hit), which was enough for me to rise by 50,000 or so places. In truth I got lucky and will be hoping for better results this Gameweek.
With the international break around the corner, I didn't want to take another -4 hit in case the extra player got injured for his country, thus rendering the hit pointless. The only change I have decided to make is to sell Ivanovic for Lescott. This may come as a surprise for some, but Ivanovic has a blank GW3 and has harder fixtures after that. As for Lescott, he has pretty much guaranteed a starting place for the time being and has two decent upcoming fixtures.
As for the remainder of my team... I have some concerns. With Bassong potentially back, Whittaker could be shafted out of the Norwich team. Moreover, Kolo Toure picked up an injury midweek which has made him a major doubt for this GW. As for Dzeko, despite scoring against Cardiff, he is a rotation risk. In spite of that, I have decided to captain Dzeko for GW3. I think he is capable of scoring against Hull, regardless of whether he starts or comes off the bench.
