    Commence EvdS bitch session. Damnit. Even David James scores better for the week now. Hopefully Evra, Valencia, Roon, and CCole can deliver and salvage that nasty -7 for me. Uggh.

  2. Dammit. Price to drop enough to sell him for a playing keeper next week now. Still may keep CCole with a 3m discount, just cause.

  6. Parker hurt and/or close to a suspension.

    Shit! Rooney from Valencia. The double whammy.

  7. Can't say I'm disappointed by the goal as I have(had) both of them!

    ReplyDelete
  8. and the double becomes a quadruple whammy as the same pair connect again. :-(

    starting to think KEEPING Rooney on an idle week wouldn't be SUCH a bad idea...

    148.50 points. Nice ! Anyone fancy Torres next week??

    Check out J Cork and D Fox of Burnley.

  13. I have Rooney at a 6 unit discount. He's a no-brainer to keep. But EvS, even at a 4 discount, is getting dropped. I'll play cheap keeper roulette and use the funds elsewhere.

  14. Anyone BD Vidic before his price went up??? I'm taking the 0 for this weekend, he most likely will be my season keeper along Rio Ferdinard(although I'm gonna have to BD him on the weekend)...
    Team looks as follows...

    James
    Bale/Vidic/Hutton
    Lee/Gerrard/Fabregas/Eagles
    Donovan/Torres/Bendtner

    Thinking of swapping Hutton/Fabregas for R.Johnson/Duff...I'd apreciate some feedback and great job on the weekly analysis Jeremy & Neal. A monster 156.5 this week thanks to today's excellent performances. I am now 5,757 overall and am proud to say it as it is only my first year(well second year I guess if you count last, but I started halfway during the season. I'm kinda hoping I break the 1,000 mark and I wouldn't be surprised if I do, the way I've been averaging lately...all that thanks to you, Jeremy, Neal, AM, and friends at the blog(yeah can't forget about you guys either)...I apreciate your insightful advice. Thanks again, Saul

  15. 205.5 which is 6th overall for the week. Thanks to Jeremy and Neal for their advice(and Paine Webber). It's been a long tough season but weeks like this make it worth the while.

    I've already dropped Vidic but will keep Rooney as well. If he had fallen to below 19, I would have dropped him but 16 is too great a value.

  16. Has anyone noticed Benayoun's price? 7.61...I want him in but will he play against Blackburn??? If so, I'm gonna be making a lot and I mean a lot of changes come the weekend!

    ReplyDelete
  17. I've already sold my ManU and Villa players and replaced them with Arsenal (Almunia, Fab4) among others (O'Hara and Zhirk maybe?). No point in taking the zero now.

    As for the returning players - Torres, Arteta, Benayoun, etc - I'm thinking that they might be barn door picks rather than getting them for this weekend.

  18. Saul - I'd keep Cesc ONLY because he has an easy schedule coming up(as Neal has pointed out many times by now! =p ) I'm happy with Hutton/Cesc, as I have them also.
    Zhirkov is injured and might not play in Champions League game (Belletti might start instead at LB! remember him?!) Mention of FloMo playing LB too!
    - I only got 151 for the week...enh. at 783th overall.
