Game week 14 preview November 25, 2005

Posted by Ed in : fantasy footy , trackback

Well this is the first double gameweek we have had this season and by double gameweek I mean some teams are playing twice (Sunderland and Liverpool).

Liverpool have been in good form lately and have a superb defensive record, if you are going to buy a player this week then perhaps Carragher, Hyypia or Gerrard would be good choices from Liverpool.
From a Sunderland point of view Dean Whitehead takes all the corners and penaltys so may be worth the money.

Something for all fantasy managers to keep in their heads is that quite a few players will be leaving the premiership to play in the African cup of nations in the new year. Don’t buy more African players then you can transfer out before the Competition starts.

Transfer of the week

Out
Rooney Rooney at 11 million can be worth the money on occassion, but really is not performing week in week out.

In
Henry Back from injury the Arsenal captain is back to his usual devestating form, scoring 4 goals in 2 games in the premiership. The question is not “can you afford Henry?” the real question is “Can you afford not to have Henry?”

Captain of the week
Jamie Carragher Playing two games this week and if he keeps two clean sheets will net me 24 points.

Buy of the week
yakubu of middlesbrough
Yakubu Yakubu has scored 7 gaols in 12 premiership games for middlesbrough this season and looks set to continue his fine goal scoring form of recent years in the premiership. Yakubu is also getting assists and bonus points. A great striker for those who can’t afford the likes of Henry, Owen and Drogba.

Other players to consider
Liverpool and Sunderland Players with the teams playing twice you have a good chance of scoring high points if you go for one of the on form players from Liverpool(defenders or Gerrard) or Sunderland(Whitehead)

Thierry Henry Scored another two goals last weekend against Wigan (who have the best defensive record in the league). Set to continue his scintilating form, worth it if you can afford him.

Gamble player of the week
Colins Mebsuma will Portsmouth caretaker manager Joe Jordan throw him into the fray? Mebsuma scored 49 goals in all competitions last year for the Kaiser Chiefs in South Africa. Alain Perrin brought him in but thought he was “too fat” and placed him on a serious training program to get him upto speed for the Premiership. Now Perrin is gone and Mebusama is ready to make an impact, will he get his chance at the weekend?

I always have terrible trouble with comment-related plugins that require me to put some line in the comment loop; I can never seem to find the right spot. Can anyone tell me where I should put the php line in my comments loop? I haven not modified anything much, and I would be very grateful. Thanks!
