Mel's Fantasy Team Selection - Week 19

After Week 18 and 90 points, I’m still 30 points behind the leader and pulling away from the 3rd placed team. Nolan, Defoe and Aguero did poorly, giving me less than 10 points between them. Totally not justifying their heavy price tags. Was glad that I kept my faith with Gerrard, as he was the top performer this week. Here he is in his festive costume LOL.

 

I will be keeping almost half the squad for Boxing Day, Week 19.
Lloris
Vert Ferguson Fabio
Cazorla Michu Pienaar Granero
Defoe Jelly RVP

Other than Lloris, I can see value in either Schwarzer or Green. Fulham, on the back of a 4-0 loss, will be too strong at home for the Saints. QPR will be at home too vs WBA. ‘Arry is working his magic and you better believe it!

Dropped B Jones and took Fabio back for this week. He had 5 points last week. Damn good return for a 2-ish defender and he seemed to have stolen a step ahead of Traore. Oviedo may come in for this week ,since Heitinga played the full 90 mins in the previous game. Check the late team news on who will be starting.

Arsenal won’t be playing this week. But I will be crazy to drop Cazorla at BD price. Don’t see too many affordable midfielders this week. Grabbed Pienaar on the BD last week. He will be the main creator for Everton with both Fellaini and Mirallas out. Had wanted Taarabt, but quite impossible at his price. Settled on Granero instead - a poor man’s Taarabt really. Mackie, playing higher up, could be an option at 6-ish too. Sidwell comes back from suspension, and with Duff still out, Fulham will be depending on his distribution for the goals.

RVP was not at his best vs Swansea. Playing at home vs Newcastle will be a different story. He will be determined to put on his scoring boots again and add on to his 12 league goals so far. Defoe has been quiet for the past 2-3 games. Will be hoping that he can grab a few goals, especially since its Villa this time. Jelly, without Fellaini and Mirallas, hasn’t really been in free scoring form. But this is vs Wigan at home and I do not want to miss out on a Jelly feast. Berbs will be a pricier option, and the most likely to get a goal for Fulham, against weak travelers Southampton.

Remember fellow managers, the deadline is TODAY 20:00 SGT. Its just 4 hours away. SAVE your squad!
