There are some crazy valuations out there right now and while I am guessing that prices will stabilize in the not too distant future, the following might be worth considering when putting your team together for this week:
Strikers
Sell High - Henry/Reyes/Bergkamp, Arsenal - This may not be the week but theoretically, at some point, there will be a lean week and one or more of these guys will drop in value (probably Reyes).
Buy Low - Michael Forssell, Birmingham - Maybe he was a one season wonder but its too early to assume he isn't going to produce. At 1.00, its worth picking him up if you need a cheap striker.
Midfielders
Sell High - Thomas Gravesen, Everton - With Everton having two games this week, there is some chance to get some solid points out of Mssr. Gravesen but there's a very good chance that he will drop in value even if he does well. Probably only worth keeping if you have money to burn.
Buy Low - Muzzy Izzet, Birmingham - Birmingham can't score 0 or 1 goals all season with that amount of talent can they?
Defenders
Sell High - Kenny Cunningham, Birmingham - Why up on other B'ham guys and down on Kenny? Its all about average value, he's currently averaging 6.80 points per game because he's only played one game. Halving that with a mediocre effort this weekend puts him at great risk of losing a lot of value. If he gets carded, say goodbye to your investment in him.
Buy Low - Jon Spector, ManYoo - Cheap, two games against bad teams, 'nuff said.
'keepers
Sell High - Paul Robinson, Tottenham - At some point someone is going to break through on Tottenham's mediocre defense and he's going to plummet. Birmingham isn't the perfect candidate but a 1-1 tie with few shots on target (sounds like B'ham doesn't it?) could wreck Robinson's value.
Buy Low - Mark Schwartzer, Boro - Crystal Palace has had a nice start to the season but a home win with a few saves and a potential clean sheet makes Schwartzer a bargain at just over 2.
