Game week 10 - review October 24, 2005
Posted by Ed in : fantasy footy , add a commentRelatively poor results this weekend, clocking up a measley 36 points (before bonus points)
Factors that contributed to that were that none of my strikers scored (well Drogba did but it was disallowed) and none of my defenders kept a clean sheet. Frank Lampard(captain) and Brad Friedel where my only saving graces scoring 20 of my 36 points between them.
Notable performances at the weekend came from players like Emre and Ameobi for Newcastle, Danny Murphy had 2 assists for Charlton, Boa Morte and Collins John of Fulham, Jenas for Spurs and Nakata of Bolton.
Something else to take note of is that Chelsea have conceeded goals in their last four Premiership games.

Game week 10 points 36
Transfer of the week
Out
Smertin: consistent supplier of 2/3 points a week, but you need more then that from a midfielder.
In
Emre: has shown some great skill and guile since coming back from injury. Ran the midfield yesterday, had an assist from a corner and scored a superb free kick! 6.8 million is a bargin, buy him quick before value goes up.
Captain
Still has to be the ultra consistent Frank Lampard
Buy of the week (early recommendations)
Emre see transfer of the week (should make you some money this week too).
Other players to consider
Stelios Giannakopoulos staring to find some form again and at only 6.1 million should be well within most managers budgets.
Danny Murphy for the big spenders amongst you Murphy is still scoring points consistently, but at 9.2 million he is fairly expensive.
Collins John has scored three games in a row now.
Gamble player of the week
Nakata scored a great free kick yesterday, at only 5.8 million it’s not really a huge gamble. 
Game week 10 October 21, 2005
Posted by Ed in : fantasy footy , 24 commentsIt’s gameweek 10 and things are starting to settle down, we know what players play week in week out, we know who are the on form players and we know that the super game week to put you in touch with the best in your league is just around the corner (well hopefully)!
I have had a few poor weeks lately and this is mainly due to the fact that I have had some injurys and haven’t really used my transfers in the best way possible, culminating in 3 changes to the team this week.
I’m not happy about having to make these changes but desperate times call for desperate measures.
The changes?
In Ledley King
In Dean Whitehead
In Didier DrogbaOut Paolo Ferriera
Out Anthony Le Tallac
Out Micheal Owen
Out
Ferriera: hasn’t being getting a game lately for chelsea due to injury so he had to go.
Le Tallac: is not getting to play the regular football that he envisaged when he made the move to Sunderland
Micheal Owen: is highly doubtful for the game Vs Sunderland due to a hamstring strain and it is highly unlikely that Souness will risk his £17 million striker incase he does more permanent damage.
In
Ledley King: consistent performances throughout the season so far a coupled with an assist, a goal and 3 bonus points puts him high on the form charts!
Dean Whitehead: everpresent so far this season for Mick McCarthy and has 4 assists.
Didier Drogba: finally living up to his huge price tag, Drogba has kept Crespo out of the team with 5 goals, 8 assists and 7 bonus points giving him an impressive tally of 63 points this season so far. Second only to Frank Lampard who has a phenomenal 81 already!
This weeks team
Captain
On present form this is a no-brainer Frank Lampard
Buy of the week
Yossi Benayoun in superb form for West Ham and has 2 gaols, 3 assists and 5 bonus points!
