Mel’s Fantasy Team Selection - Week 38

And we are down to the last week of the season. Wigan is finally relegated. The only meaningful games left will be for Spurs and Arsenal. Almost half my team is loaded with players from Spurs. Playing at home to Sunderland, who just managed to escape the drop to the Championship. I think Spurs will turn on the style for this home game and snatch the final Champions League spot from Arsenal. Unpredictable Newcastle may just spoil Arsenal’s season by causing an upset at St James.

So here’s the team atm..

Lloris

Vert Dawson Coates

Cazorla Lennon Oscar Coutinho

Mata K2 Sturridge

Oscar and Mata will most likely make way for MIchu (argh!) , Nolan, Yaya or I may try to bring in Walcott at a premium. Not sure if Mata will be starting for Chelsea, so he will go too with Podolski coming in his place. Managed to BD Sturridge last week after his hat trick. He is on red hot form now. I am pretty happy with the GK and defenders situation, unless I have some spare change to swap Coates for someone else.

Come next season, we will be seeing Cardiff, Hull (again) and either Crystal Palace or Watford in the EPL. Its going to be a busy pre-season. Watch out for the new players coming in. 

Till August...

Mel’s Fantasy Team Selection - Week 37

I’m back after my holidays and some busy weeks at work.

The EPL season is coming to an end and the title stays in Manchester, this time to the Red side. Citeh has secured 2nd spot. 3rd and 4th is still a toss between Chelsea, Spurs and Arsenal. The 6th (and Europa) spot should go to Everton, while Liverpool will remain just below their neighbours at 7th (and maybe an Europa slot through fairplay). The drop for QPR and Reading is confirmed. Tough fight for the remaining relegation spot among Wigan, Newcastle, Norwich, Sunderland and Southampton.

The players to pick for this week and next, obviously, should come from the teams that are still “fighting” for something. Time to splash the cash.

Wigan - Robles (though Al Habsi may be back), Maloney, McArthur, Kone

Newcastle - Elliot, Taylor, Debuchy, Cabaye, HBA, Cisse

Norwich - Bunn, Bass, Garrido, Snodgrass

Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal - Lloris, Dawson, Ekotto, Cazorla (since week 1), Walcott, Bale, Lennon, Oscar, Lampard, Podolski, Defoe, K2, Mata

Others - Kompany (if you had him on the cheap), Lallana, Puncheon, Graham, Dzeko, Agbonlahor.

My team atm...

Lloris

Vert Dawson Ekotto

Cazorla Oscar Cabaye Lennon (yes Michu is finally off the team)

Mata Defoe Podolski

I hope Sunderland stays up, so we can see more of Di Canio and his sideline antics.

 Will Wigan perform another miracle? I guess luck will not be with them this time and maybe paving the way for Martinez to Everton.

Oh and Fergie is finally retiring. Incredible managing career with United since 1986. Moyes has got huge..HUGE shoes to fill. The rivals will be smiling and waiting...
