One of the most frustrating team selection weeks I can remember. After riding high on the early performances of new upstarts like Michu, Hazard and Cazorla, they seem to have cooled off. But will the usual suspects like Tevez and RVP rise up to take their places? Or will they even be in their sides' starting XI's? Shuttled dozens of players in and out of my lineup, so I'm expecting a major case of seller's remorse when the weekend is over. Holding my place in the Top 10 of BL5 will be considered a huge success.
At any rate, here's who the current YFF Top 50 chose for their squads. From the variation (particularly on defense) it looks like they had an equally brain-wracking time:
