Fantasy Premier League

Two gamers

Wed Dec 13 07:25PM

Lineups have been posted for the Chelsea-Newcastle and Wigan-Arsenal matches.

As usual, there are some changes that drive fantasy managers crazy (and make us wish we had Saha and Petrov in our teams). Notably, Drogba, Sheva, and RvP are all on their respective benches. So that makes my forward line-up a bunch of one-gamers! If they get anything out of their games (like coming of the bench to score the game-winner), I guess I'll be happy. But right now I'm just bitter.

The other notable riding the pine is Fantasy favorite Francesc Fabregas (4F).

On the flip-side, those that gambled on Baptista because of his price-tag have got to be pretty excited about his start today.

Now I'm really rueing dropping Berbatov. At least I picked him up again before his price jumped due to last weekend's goals, but still, he scored more in one game than my forwards will probably score in 4 combined games. I'm being killed today all around, as I had Cesc, RVP and Sheva. Essien was the only good bet I made this week.

I bought Kirkland on the real cheap last week - now I have NO spare units to trade him for ANYONE. This is a disaster! And all these one gamers... I have no idea who to select suddenly!

is trabelsi still playing in midfield? i've got huddlestone and trabelsi onboard. does that mean if i play a 3-4-3 formation i am actually in reality playing with 3 strikers and 6 midfielders 1 defender and a keeper? plus clean sheet bonuses for the 2 of them? sounds like the way forward for sure if that is the case. be grateful for your feedback!

i didnt realise the blog was totalitarian. in my other alias i have been banned from posting for some reason. very worrying. censorship is apparently more common in the states so it would make sense!

Er, what's wrong with just keeping Kirkland? They're playing Sheffield this week, so he's likely for a clean sheet, and if you figure you want a point for every dollar you spend to be doing really well in a 1 match week, he only has to get you 5-6 points.

Rooney is an interesting bet in this week. He will likely continue his explosive display, but he seldom have 2 consecutive excellent fantasy weeks before. I will bet on him, plus some cheap Wigan defenders. K.Doyle seems likely to score against poor Blackburn defends, but if he doesn't score then he will get no points, so I will stick with Van Persie and Kuyt.
And, in general, December is an important month for the big 4, and they really want to win, so probably buying as much as their players is clever.

Michale Ballack, he's really quite rubbish isn't he?

Hi, all you need to do is to press "Update team value" icon on top right hand corner of your team lineup. If your player has gone down in value it will free up the dollars to invest in other players. However if your player has gone up you have to think twice b4 selling him as you may not be able to buy him back. Like when I sold Saha when he was 9.XX : (
