Barn Door Team - Week 8 Revised

Check out this post at our new blog home, Never Manage Alone.

The original is after the jump, but really you should check out the new version.

Barn Door Team - Week 8

It's international week, but that doesn't mean we're not already looking ahead to the next gameweek in ten days time. Here's my team, assembled over the course of last weekend.



There are injuries here, and some questions. Look for changes, and the (surely faulty) reasoning to come.

Week 7 Team

After lots of thought, but surely little understanding, here's my week 7 team.



 Good night, and good luck.

The Week Ahead, Part Two - Player Picks

Sometimes we, and by we I mean the blog, pay the price for this not being a full time job.  There are times when the job that pays the bills takes precedence over the enjoyment of bringing you blog posts so long that your bosses, significant others, non-fantasy-playing friends, and children complain about the time spent on them on occasion.  I enjoy writing them as much as (I hope) you enjoy reading them.  Unfortunately, Wednesday and yesterday found me focused from dawn until dusk on my day job and with only enough energy to write part 1 of The Week Ahead.  Because I'm guessing you'd rather have the player picks as soon as I can get them to you versus waiting until I come up with a good-sized rant to open the column, I'll dispense with the usual prelude and get right to the picks.

He is K2

We've always called Adebayor K2 because:

He is tall as a mountain, and reminiscent of former Arsenal striker Kanu in his stature and playing style. Hence K2 or K2.0, or K2.6.

But now we learn that it was more appropriate than we ever knew.

Adebayor added: "I left frustrated. I loved Arsenal.

"When I was young, one of my dreams was to play for them because my idol, Kanu, played there.

"I thought I would stay there for the rest of my career."
