Its official. The mind games have begun!
Lets get back to business. Week 2 will see Liverpool hosting Citeh who will be without Kun. But having players like Dzeko and Why-Always-Me as back up is a luxury that Liverpool do not have. Agger will be suspended for this game and I shudder to think who will be filling his role. Carragher is past his prime and too slow, while Coates is still learning the ropes of the English game. Having said that, I hope liverpool will rise to the occasion, as they always do against bigger opposition.
Spurs, Swansea, Chelsea, Man U and Saints are the home teams that I will turn to this week.
Cech at 9.88 will be staying, unless I need the funds elsewhere. Kelvin Davis took 7 points from Citeh despite letting in 3 goals. At 7.18, and playing at home against Wigan, you should seriously consider him if you missed out on Cech last week.
Ivanovic, like Vermaelen, is comfortable playing at full-back or centre-back. And like the Belgian, he looks like the goal scoring defender you must have in your team this season. Kaboul is reportedly out with a knee injury. This may pave the way for Vertonghen’s introduction at White Hart Lane. Cheap option if you are being squeezed in other positions. Vidic looks good for a clean sheet and at 8.14, he may chip in with a goal or two from set pieces. I missed Chico (news of a groin injury) and Gibbs on the barndoor. Jenkinson is another alternative, with Sagna still out with an injury. Potential banana skin, as Stoke is the kind of team that Arsenal hates to play against with.
Michu. Need I say more? Man U will be tearing Fulham apart. Believe you me. If there is one Man U midfielder that you are getting, it has to be Kagawa. Still at near barndoor value and looked lively in the previous game. And since Man U will be demolishing Fulham, I am expecting SOTs/assists/goals from him. Lallana, is Saint’s heartbeat, and along with Carzola will be in my team this week. Siggy, Bale or Vdv if you have the moolah. Otherwise Lennon is a good choice too.
Eden “D Wizard” Hazard (as mentioned by Siwei) will terrorize the EPL defenders with his bag of tricks. If he is not scoring, he will be contributing with lots of assists this season (and winning penalties). Get him! I invested in Defoe before his value went up. With Spurs short on forwards, both him and Ade should be starting. Rooney, cos Man U will be steamrolling Fulham. Tevez will be leading the line at Anfield and looks a good bet for a goal. I will be hoping he gets 10 SOTs and zero goal.
My team for now.
Cech
Ivan Jenkinson Harte(will be dropped)
Carzola Michu Lallana Kagawa
Tevez Defoe Hazard
K2 is back, foresee Defoe will warm the bench once again. Surely Man Boo is going to make an impact against Fulham @OT. Rooney is a MUST for this week!
