February Squad of the Month
Manchester United may have lost two games over the course of the month, their first defeats in the league all season, but they provided the two top-scorers for the month.
Wayne Rooney has taken a year to rediscover any kind of form to justify his £11.4 million price tag - only Carlos Tevez is worth more - as he finally takes a Player of the Month award. The United striker took the POTM gong for himself after scoring against Chelsea on Tuesday night, taking his tally for the month to 33 points.
Rooney scored five goals in the four gameweeks, in which United played five games, and he also contributed two assists. Despite commanding such a huge fee, Rooney is now hot property in the transfer market - his value rises by a further £0.2 million in Thursday's weekly update.
Rooney has scored 80 points across the season, so his February haul alone represents close to half that. He has only scored the same as West Brom's Peter Odemwingie, who costs almost half. Signing Rooney is a gamble on the striker continuing that hot streak of form over the remaining 10 gameweeks.
Another United player who will rise by £0.2 million is Nani , who was just overtaken by Rooney for the POTM despite setting up his team-mate for the goal at Stamford Bridge. Nani scored 31 points in February, with two goals and four assists, which have moved him clear as the top-scoring player in the game.
By comparison, Florent Malouda's early season form is now a dim and distant memory, but he is still on 122 points for the campaign compared to Nani's 133. Look further into his data, though, and you'll see that he scored 49 of those points in gameweeks 1-5. Since then, Malouda has scored three goals and provided three assists. He will drop in value once again this week.
Everton's Tim Cahill was the top-scoring player before he headed off to the AFC Asian Cup with Australia following gameweek 18, but he has only one assist since then and has fallen away. Cahill is now only the seventh highest-scoring midfielder.
Like United, Liverpool have two players in the squad and it will come as no surprise to learn that Raul Meireles is in for the second month in a row. Meireles has been in the goalscoring form of his life under Kenny Dalglish and scored another 28 points in February. Before going off injured at West Ham last weekend, Meireles had scored a goal in five consecutive gameweeks. But fantasy managers need not worry as his injury is not serious and he should be fit this weekend.
7 Best Tools for Reducing Credit Card Debt | Shrinkage Is Good
As America’s slight economic hiccup (read: the Great Recession) comes to a close, for many, its effects are still being felt on a daily basis. Many people who were on top of their bills are now finding themselves in credit card debt, while those who already had debt are now deeper than ever. Although getting out of debt is easier said than done, the following tools will help greatly alleviate credit card debt and help those in need get back on their feet.

Having control of one’s money is often the gateway towards spending it. For many people, the source of their debt is a lack of discipline. However, by using the automatic transfer feature on your bank’s website, you can guarantee that your bills get paid before you do. By setting up auto transfers, bill payments or deductions, those in debt can take away their option to spend more money on stupid things, while also ensuring that the stupid things they already bought are paid for in full. Sometimes, credit cards will offer a special, deferred interest rate for either new or long-time customers. In exchange for transferring all existing debt to their account, you can enjoy anywhere from 12-24 months of 0% interest while you get your finances in order. Although this can be a slippery slope, it should help most people who are usually in good standing to get back on their feet again.
