<!--more-->
Alot of other minor deals but, I have never seen so much big action in the January transfer window in a long time if ever
Next Gameweek starts tomorrow morning so make sure your teams are set
Good Captain Choices this week would be the inform Barbtov against Villa at home, also Nani or Rooney could be good options, expect the Gunners to run riot against Everton at home RVP and Fabregas could be good options, also Charlie Adam at home against West Ham could pull all the strings again so alot of good choices
Injury Concerns - New Liverpool striker Andy Carrol looks like he could be out for another 2 months (not sure how he passed his medical), Gareth Bale has a back injury and will miss this week.Samir Nasri has a hamstring injury and wont be available this week. Tim Cahill most likely wont play tomoz morn after a tough Asian Cup campaign. Scott Dann is most likely out for the season with a Hammy.
