AJ continues his run of form. It's now 4 goals in as many games, and from 5 shots on target. Kudos to everyone who stuck with him despite the derby matchup.
Speaking of form, Thierry Henry is rounding into his, even though his team ...
OOOhh... GREAT DOUBLE SAVE FROM VAN DER SAAR!!!!!!
Sorry, watching ManU/Tot. Where was I? Oh yeah...
Henry is playing his part and getting his usual ton of fantasy points, but Arsenal are still struggling. And Boro continue their one week up, one week down cycle. So sell any Boro players you have and pick them up for the following week.
Damn you Frank Lampard! Don't you practice your PKs? That miss was a 13 point swing (from 7 for the goal to -6 for the miss)! Those points would have made it worth having you in the squad over Henry.
And speaking of Chelsea, is it time to abandon the Shevchenko bandwagon? I never got behind Ballack, and so far he's proved me nothing be right. But Sheva needs to step up and be counted in the Premiership or he'll be on the outside of my team looking in too. At least when Anelka or Martins, Tevez, etc, get posted.
On the injury front, we've got bad news on Aaron Lennon, Jimmy Bullard, and J.A. Riise. Real shame for Bullard as he started the season so brightly. Will his points now go to Wayne Routledge? Imagine, you can almost replicate the Crystal Palace squad that played in the Premiership two years ago -- Johnson, Boyce, Hall, Routledge -- and you would be doing alright.
The Lennon injury really hurts Tottenham as they were already struggling ith a lack of creativity from midfield. Now they lack any crossers of the ball and have lost the one player that would run at defenders. Sooner or later they are going to have to dig out this guy...
Anelka is now in Yahoo, but I can't find Martins...

its a double weekfor newcastle and liverpool.
ReplyDeleteboth teams have got tough matchups. liverpool: @CHE, NEW and newcastle: @WHU, @LIV.
newcastle and liverpool have both got so many top players and they rotate their squads a lot.
especially liverpool - bellamy wasn't even on the bench this week. and the reason was that they had too many other good strikers. fowler, crouch and kuyt.
gerrard is a must this week tho
In that case, it'd be nice to know who's gonna be taking FK/corners for liverpool & Newcastle, and any player worth buying?
ReplyDeleteI think Martins would be a good pick, to replace Berbatov. He's almost guaranteed a place since NUFC doesn't have many strikers.
Kuyt would be in my squad if Liverpool didn't use rotation for their strikers...
Gerrard is a lock, and my guess is that they'll rotate their wingers... so no safe bets except Gerrard.
I have Howard at 9.73, but i'm tempted to pick up Given or Reina for this week. (More leaning towards Given since Reina is up against Chelski)
On the NUFC team, I don't know Emre/Duff/N'zogbia situation + FK / Corner Takers, but they could be worth a spot on the roster.
Yahoo only has one game listed this week for LIV and NUF.
ReplyDeleteThe double should be for next week, the Liverpool/NUFC game isn't til a Wednesday so it falls in the next week for Yahoo, as they go Mon-Sun.
ReplyDeleteare you sure about that?
ReplyDeletehave they changed the structure of the game this year? or are you just talking shit?
His name is VAN DER SAR
ReplyDeleteno wonder i could never find him listed in the fantasy game!
ReplyDeletethanks for the corrective.

ReplyDeleteWell that's not how it worked for Week 1...
