Poor Week 19. There were 3 non starters in my squad. SWP was selected ahead of Granero, Ferguson did not figure at all as expected and Cazorla kept due to his BD price. Michu had an off day returning -ve points and Jelly was pants. Good news is that the other managers had a bad week too, so that sort of evens out.
So its on to Week 20 and with half the season more to go, Man U is pulling ahead of Citeh with a 7 points lead. The other champions league positions are being hotly contested. Chelsea, Spurs, Arsenal, Everton and WBA are all in for a shout for the remaining 2 champions league slots. Following Rodgers’ statement that Liverpool is not too far off from the top four 3 weeks ago, they are now 8 points behind the 4th placed team. They were only 4 points behind at the point of Rodgers’ proclamation. Maybe he should just keep quiet and focus on the games.
My team atm...
Lloris
Vert Vidic Fabio
Cazorla Michu Cleverly Sidwell
Defoe RVP Chicharito
Lloris, Vert, Cazorla and Michu are the permanent residents here. I have selected 4 Man U players - Vidic, Cleverly, RVP and Chicharito. I think the title is for them to lose now. Ferguson will not make the same mistake as he did last season and will be fielding a strong side at home vs WBA, as he looks to pull further away from Citeh. Vidic should be coming in for Evans to shore up the leaky defence. Cleverly was rested vs Newcastle and will most likely replace Giggs or Scholes. Rooney and Welbeck are both out, leaving the obvious 2 striking partners upfront.
Fabio is in because he is cheap and playing at home vs Liverpool. I got a sneaky feeling that Harry will turn up the heat and turn this into another disaster for Liverpool. Sidwell, in Duff’s absence, will be pulling the strings for Fulham. Was kept quiet in the last away game, but I will be expecting more from him at home. Defoe and Spurs travel to Sunderland on red hot form. Bale is at crazy price but Defoe, still scoring and getting the points, is only 15-ish.
Random players that you may consider.
Guzan - Conceded 12 goals in the last 2 games. But managed to maintain his price at 5-ish, probably due to the many number of saves he had. He may finally get some +ve points at home vs Wigan.
Senderos - Back in the Fulham team and playing at home. May chip in with a goal at set pieces.
Taarabt - Best player for QPR by far. Shoots from anywhere and revels in his free role. How Liverpool will be tormented. If you have the extra funds, he should be in your team.
Benteke - Must win for Villa vs Wigan. And I think they will ,with Benteke the most probable scorer.
This will be the last week of 2012. Let's hope it will end on a good note for all managers, as we welcome a brand new 2013.
Happy New Year all!
