Spectacle For This Week

   At here i will give some of my opinions for this week Fantasy team. In this match week where there are many (8) teams with double matches, i would list teams individually rather than calling out specific match-ups.  The latter would be really complicated.


  For this week match, i will prefer the team that have double game. Below are the real advantage for this few teams:


 Real Advantage

  • WBA - Granted they haven't been playing terribly well but they're home against two teams that have been even worse over the course of the season.  The only worry is that both Wolves and WHU have more recent momentum than the Baggies.
  • Arsenal - Great news that the Djourou injury isn't a bad one.  Yes, he'll still likely only get one match of the two but with both matches at home to mid-table-at-best opposition, Arsenal should be fertile ground for managers.  The only risks will be the rotation with Barca coming up.
  • Blackpool - They seem to have played about 100 home matches in a row but this match week features two more.  I'd be concerned about the defenders and goalkeeper because they leak goals but the attackers should be interesting.
  • Birmingham - Two home matches with beatable opposition.  The quandary is that Birmingham are 16th for a reason so don't get TOO excited and put all your eggs in this basket. 
False Hope
  • Newcastle - I'm sure there will be a lot of people who got on the bandwagon on the heels of the big comeback and then noted that NUFC play two matches against opponents who don't exactly scare the pants off anyone.  Just note that they've only scored multiple goals on their travels once this season (against WHU at the deepest depth of their incompetence) and one of their two scorers that day (Carroll) is no longer with the club and hasn't been adequately replaced.  Looks like a trap to me kids.
  • Stoke - 10 points and 12 goals from 12 away matches and both of them are away this match week - not saying they'll lose both but you can hardly expect them to be exceptional.
  • Wolves - 4 away points all season and both are away including Arsenal - 'nuff said (sorry Chris)
Not Sure
  • Spurs - So many factors here - injury uncertainty with Bale and VDV, prioritization uncertainty with the AC Milan match coming up, spotty recent form, two away matches.  Still, this is a top five team and the opposition @SUN and @BPL isn't frightening.  Sorry to do this to you but I'm going to leave a very tough call up to your gut.  I got nothing here. 


Forwards: 
  • Robin Van Persie - a great choice since he scored against Birmingham and I have him from 9.27 and now the market price is raising until 21.38. But need to mentioned that Arsenal will face Barca for this week CL, and now he is doubtful that he's having flu, but i can imagine that at least 120 minutes that he will play for this 2 games.  
  • Peter Odemwingie - the price is going down until 11.88 and i can say that it's very worth. 2 home games and his high effective scoring at home make you hard to say 'no' about it. 
  • Obafemi Martins - He is back to the Premier League again and he's now is at 6.56 and 2 home games for his debut. A nice bet on him. 
  • DJ Campbell - Although Blackpool' home game is not very nice, but i would like to say he's top scorer at the team and now he's price is below 10. If you don't mind, try on him for 2 gamers.
  • Jermaine Defoe - Until now he starts 11 appearances at Premier League but the scoring board still none for him. But from my thinking, away against Blackpool he can score it at there. 9.68 market price is not a bad decision for you. How you all think it? 
Midfielders:
  • Cesc Fabregas - Since my first choice Arsenal midfielder' Samir Nasri is still out for the game, i think Cesc Fabregas is safest bet to find a Arsenal midfielder.
  • Jack Wilshere - The cheapest Arsenal starting midfielder and seems that Alexandre Song is doubtful, his performance will become more concern. 
  • Charlie Adam -  His points in this few week was very stable and you can't doubt about his goal scoring ability. The only worry is that he's now having 9 YC on him and hope that he's not been booked against Aston Villa. 
  • David Bentley - A solid price, two home games. When i know that Birmingham City will have 2 home games, my first selection surely is him. How can you ignore that? 
  • Craig Gardner - Another worthy players with 2 home games and he have a nice goal scoring ability at home games.  He's now having a nice fantasy season. 
  • Chris Brunt - As a 'brain' of WBA, his home performance will more nicely and now with 10.78 market price. A great bet for the coming of 2 match-ups.
  • Jerome Thomas - I would prefer to him for this week games not only he is 2 gamers, but  his fouls won data - Gosh! Take him when he's now at 8.42.   
Defenders:
  • Laurent Koscielny - His home performance mostly better than away. Many people will think that he's not a great bet but his price was a good bet for the money.
  • Bacary Sagna - His price was higher a bit but he's most likely to create a lot of opportunities for his teammates to score more goals and looks this few weeks, his points was pretty. 
  • Gonzalo Jara - If you finding a low price defender, can think about him but i don't like it. 
  • Martin Jiranek - Since he starting replace long term injury' Scott Dann, he's looks like a great bet. 
  • Roger Johnson - 2 gamers, don't consider that his performance at home ground. 
  • Liam Ridgewell - Same as Roger Johnson, 2 gamers, if still remaining money, can thinking about him. 
  • Jose Enrique - I don't understand that why many of them prefer on him although his price now is 7.57 and he's also 2 gamers with 2 away games. Talk truly i don't like away team defenders, if you want it, take a risk on him. 
Goalkeepers: 
  • Wojciech Szczesny - A great price now and high probability to get CS against Wolves and Stoke City. 
  • Ben Foster - The price is a bit high but a solid bet.
  • Boaz Myhill - If you finding a GK under 6, i think he's 1st choice for me. A good bet on him to have 2 match-ups.
  • Asmir Begovic - Take a risk on him cause of 2 gamers. His price now decline in value of 7.59, A good GK but hope him can have a good performance against BCFC and ARS.
  • Blackpool goalkeepers - Don't take a bet from Paul Rachubka or Richard Kingson, although now Rachubka is doubtful but hard to say that Ian Holloway wants to play 1 of them as first choice goalkeeper since Matthew Gilks now is still out of the game.
