| Are you ready for Liverpool's gameweek double? |
A pretty catastrophic last gameweek for plenty of managers with fantasy favourites Sessegnon and Dyer being sent off and Ba missing a penalty. Coupled with Kompany's recent injury, a lot of changes will be needed for owners of them. Time for precious wildcard?
At European tournaments, we saw Arsenal being knocked-out gloriously from Champions League after managed to recover three of the four goal deficit against AC Milan at their home turf before half-time but unable to add anymore after that. Meanwhile, Manchester City suffered an away defeat at Europa League and more shockingly, Manchester United conceded three goals at home to fall 2-3 against Athletico Madrid.
Game of the Week: ARSENAL v NEWCASTLE
 |
| Oxlade-Chamberlain had a fine game against AC Milan in Champions League. |
The Gunners are on a superbly fine run now, killing off both Tottenham and Liverpool in their last two league fixtures. Captain Robin Van Persie is on extraordinary form now. See how he scored twice against Liverpool with such limited chances.
Walcott, Arteta and Ramsey are all quoted as doubtful (75% playing) in FPL - expect some or all of them to play anyway as they combine with in form Rosicky and Oxlade-Chamberlain to provide excellent supplies to their captain.
On the other side, the Ba-Cisse combination will continue to offer major threat, but I see a sweet revenge for Arsenal. Solid victory for Arsenal to put pressure on third-placed Tottenham.
Prediction: ARS 3-1 NEW
Pick and Captain: Van Persie
Pick: Walcott, Ba, Cisse
Drop: NEW defence
Fantasy Game of the Week: LIVERPOOL's Double (@ SUNDERLAND, EVERTON)
 |
| Time for Suarez to redeem himself? |
The away game at Stadium of Light against Sunderland will be a tricky one but Liverpool are lucky to face them at such timing. The Black Cats started their reign under Martin O'Neill brilliantly but failed to pick up any win in their last three games. Coupled with the suspension of the team's ace Stephane Sessegnon, the Reds should be able to pick up one point at least.
The Merseyside derby will take place on Tuesday at Anfield. Everton are slowly picking up as the season progresses and they have shown some good results recently. While the Toffees are as mighty as the title contenders, they are tough to be taken down.
Defenders Skrtel and Enrique are must have players as usual, while Suarez should be given the fantasy captain armband for his explosive performance. You never know if he could break the goalpost jinx this week and score a couple of goals this week.
Prediction: SUN 0-0 LIV, LIV 2-1 EVE
Pick and Captain: Suarez
Pick: Skrtel, Enrique, Adam, Bellamy
Pick and Drop
Pick and Captain:
- Young/ Rooney - Expect them to rip off West Brom.
Pick:
- Pogrebnyak - He just don't stop scoring.
- Mata - Time for him to lead Chelsea away from slump.
- Yakubu - Wolves defence shouldn't be a problem for him.
- Osman - The first man you should consider for Everton's double with Pienaar being ineligible to face Tottenham.
- Holt - Should score against Wigan.
Drop:
- Kompany - Injured.
- Sessegnon/ Dyer - Suspended.
- Aguero - Rotation risk.
- WBA defence - Expect demolition by Manchester United.
Transfer Traffic
Green light (buy):
- Suarez/ Enrique/ Skrtel - Good to hold for at least this week.
- Pogrebnyak/ Dempsey - Superb form.
- Young - Replacing Valencia's importance.
- Van Persie - Captain supremo.
Yellow light (watch):
- Adam - Not so good for long term holding.
- NEW defence - Not so resolute recently.
- Aguero - His production hardly meets his price.
Red light (sell):
- Kompany - Injured.
- Sessegnon/ Dyer - Suspended.
- Ba - Pogrebnyak and Papiss Cisse seems to give similar production and are much cheaper.
