Not a pleasant thought on a weekend that started with the single greatest day on the sports calendar - St. Patricks Day and the first day of March Madness combined. As might be imagined, that quickly led to the hangover that comes from realizing that lots of good fantasy players are hurt and those that might ordinarily be second tier choices are playing away to good defensive teams (AJ meet the Chelsea back 4, Thierry, Didier, Arjen meet the trainer). The sad conclusion that I am left with is, as the title suggests, selling my soul to the Devils. That's right, 3 of those bastards up top this week and praying that this is the week that Ruud finally puts it all together.
Here's how they line up in my little part of the world...
A - Ruud, Rooney, Ronaldo
M - Lamps, Duffman, Downing, Robert
D - Gallas, Terry, Heinze
K - Cech
And don't think I'm not bitter about this but Bergkamp has a knock and I have no idea where Arsenal will get their offense if that is the case. Drogba is questionable and Morhinio killed me last week so I'm not going back there. Plus, its hard to get excited about the notion of Fulham doing a great job on the road at OT.
So what have we learned this weekend (so far):
ReplyDelete1. ruud may be past his sell by date,
2. ... and viera definitely is.
3. rooney will get 9 1/2 points every week whether he gets 2 goals or 6 yellows.
4. if you bet against Portsmouth they will fuck you.
5. even if you pick a defender playing in midfield and they have a good game... heinze will STILL earn more points.
6. robben is back.
