Game Week 8 October 11, 2006
Posted by Ed in : fantasy footy , 57 commentsWell I left it too long after the holidays to get back into the fantasy football. The international break has given us a few shock international results (and thats an understatement)!
Dave Joyce is still top of the league, the fantastic week that young at Watford had helped with that, keeping Dave just ahead of Aya Kamiki who is a close second.
Last game week I didn’t do too well and only got 38 points, mostly due to having Andy Johnson as captain.
This is my team for this week.
So we will look at some of the players who have done well during the International week.
Captain of the week
Christiano Ronaldo In incredible form lately very consistent this season so far, worth a shot for me.
Buy of the week
Christiano Ronaldo Scored two for portugal at the weekend and has been in sensational form for Manchester United this season. A really good alternative to the dissapointing Steven Gerrard for only £0.1 million more.
Players to Buy
Leighton Baines Looked really good for the England U-21’s scored a cracker and setup one for Walcott in the return leg against Germany last night. A very good young player who has played every minute for his club so far this season and at £4.3 million is good value for money. A word of warning though Wigan are playing Man United this weekend and the likelyhood of a cleansheet is slim.
The French Trio Thierry Henry, Louis Saha and Nicholas Anelka all scored this evening. Henry is coming back to full fitness, Anelka needed the match and Saha is scoring regularly for both club and country. Any of the three are good buys, I do expect Anelka to get back to top form very soon.
Milan Baros scored twice at the weekend and got another good run out tonight. With Luke Moore out until at least christmas expect Baros to take his place.
Richard Dunne scored on saturday but despite Irelands dismall performance I expect him to be in top form against Sheffield United.
Robin Van Persie Arsene Wenger seems to have gotten RVP’s temper under control and has molded him into a fine player who contributes goals and assists to Arsenel a good player to think about.
Gamble of the week
Theo Walcott a bit of a gamble this one, played brilliantly over both legs against Germany. He may get his chance this weekend, but a gamble.
