Fantasy Premier League

K2 to be rested?

Fri Mar 28 08:10PM by Jeremy

Arsenal's Emmanuel Adebayor celebrates after scoring his second goal against Derby County during their Premier League football match at the Emirates Stadium in London September 22, 2007.

Keen eyed observers notice that Wenger's team sheets don't follow the usual positional groupings.  Rather he tips his hand and names a starting XI in his announcements.  This week he's hinted to the press that he might need to give K2 a rest and that's reflected in the team sheet:

Gunners (from): Almunia, Eboue, Toure, Gallas, Clichy, Walcott, Fabregas, Flamini, Hleb, van Persie, Bendtner, Lehmann, Adebayor, Diaby, Senderos, Hoyte, Gilberto, Denilson.

So Eboue drops into defence, Walcott comes in on the right, and Benchedtner starts up top.  For 3.68 it's hard to ignore the Dane.  It sure frees up a lot of money to spend elsewhere on the team.  Say on Eboue (8.53).

And yes, this counts as actionable intelligence, so you can make Friday trades based upon it.

    Not that we ever bet on, or against, Bolton.

    Captain Kiwi is Adebayor and K2 is Blackburn defender Ryan Nelsen. Kidding of course. Other way around. Good luck to all.

    Need some reasonable advice, Hleb or Malbranque???? Just can't work out, go with Pleb and I get Distin at the back, go with the Mal and it's something from Fulham or Derby...need a voice of reason.

    malbraque man , at least he can shoot.You can bet ur money when hleb is facing reading.He loves to socre against reading , same as mccarthy against reading. its kinda feng shui , or i'll call it ""the famous syfq_32 luck factor"" - those who previouly scores against a team , will have the highest chance to score again vs the same team.

    (5) I would recommend Malbranque to Hleb. Hleb doesn't shoot but Malbranque shoots when he has teammates shouting for the ball. Good for us YFF players. Unless you are broke, I don't see why anyone would buy either of them if they're not playing Derby. Good luck.

    Yeh he's my last pick so am stuck with about 8.3 to spend, came down to those two and Dempsey in the mix but have got a feeling Derby will win today.
