As you are working on your team, keep in mind that Chelsea (@Burnley, @Hull), Hull (Wolves, Chelsea), Fulham (Aston Villa, Portsmouth) and Portsmouth (@Manchester City, @Fulham) SHOULD be two-gamers.
However, Wolves and West Ham are NOT two-gamers as Wolves now have an FA Cup replay against Crystal Palace.

Drogba back after Ivory Coast loss? Makes things very interesting for Anelka holders :D
ReplyDeleteHas Yahoo! not caught on to this news yet?
ReplyDeleteanelka is a sure starter.Drogba also. Maybe formation will be change.
ReplyDeleteIvory coast is knock out. http://www.goal.com/en/news/815/african-nations-cup/2010/01/24/1759555/cote-divoire-2-3-algeria-fennecs-oust-elephants-in-thriller
this caught my eye:
ReplyDelete"Drogba was not having much of an influence on the game, the 31-year-old appearing to carry a knock. Kalou sent over a pinpoint cross to the far post, but Drogba, who already has 14 Premier League goals this season, failed to connect properly with his attempted volley."
just wonder if he may not start first week 21 match with travel/knock?
for fun i changed my team to most all doubles:
Fulop
Ivano,Verm,Baird
Lamps,Gera,Geo(that would be funny),Mok
Drog,Tevez,Nevland
but that would be dropping VDS,Rooney,Anelka,Fabregas & Pienaar
i think another darkhorse pick for the week would be Hunt. He has come up big in the double gameweeks (three times)
ReplyDeleteYeah bean, I really want to get Hunt into my lineup.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I think Duff is a must, even at the price of 14+ (gone are the days when he was only 8-10 units). Both of Fulham's games are at Craven Cottage where they are strong, & one of their opponents is table-propping Pompey.
best week to pick mokoena! lol
ReplyDeleteseriously, i'm just kidding
Can someone please explain where the phrase "Barn Door" originates, as it's been bugging me for weeks!
ReplyDeleteCheers
Malrog

ReplyDeleteseems a like a nick name aka ELK, MPET, BFAR..
MBasil
Now the theory became REALITY..
ReplyDeleteshould you have Elk or Drogs?

Malrog,
ReplyDeleteBarn Dooring is buying up a player who has an impending price increase (due to on field performance, usually) before the price, in fact, goes up.
Cheers,

ReplyDeleteThink it refers to bolting the stable door before the horse has gone;)
buying a player before his price changes!
makes sense to me anyway!
will BFAR play?
ReplyDeleteStill not showing these as two gamers. I'm not touching my team until it does.
ReplyDelete"Think it refers to bolting the stable door before the horse has gone"
ReplyDeleteYup... it's our bastardization of that phrasing. Closing the barn door before the horse bolts (prices go up). Over time it just became "on the barn door".
