Welcome back, I see that there has been a lively morning of pre-match chatting with Nik and a combination of readers whose names I recognize from seasons past as well as a bunch of new names which is great. For those that are new (and as a reminder to those who have been here before), we'll be here as often as we can to chat with you during live Premier League matches. We will watch the matches together through the ups and downs and analyze who to put into our line-ups for the next match week.
When asking questions, please remember to give some context (i.e., don't just ask for a cheap midfielder, indicate who you already have so we don't recommend players you already have in your line-up). Also remember to tell us how much money you have to spend. Many have taken to using the SB Nation "Profile" to keep their current starting line-up available so it posts with every comment - a great idea and one I have adopted.
With that, here are my teams for:
Yahoo - Cech, Ivanovic, Harte, Fabio, Lampard, Ramires, McAnuff, Cazorla, Hazard, Torres, Aguero
PL.com - Reina, ACole, Ivanovic, Harte, Lescott, Michu, Hazard, McAnuff, Taarabt, Aguero, Podolski
Here is the schedule for next week:

OK, let's chat!
