Fantasy Football Gameweek Review

Gameweek 34 Reviews, the story so far… – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Crystal Palace 1-0 Aston Villa Goals: Puncheon Assists: Bolasie Bonus Points: Puncheon (3), Ward (3), Speroni (3) Fantasy Focus: Crystal Palace: With their third win on the run, Palace have all but secured top flight football for another year. Playing their typical put you to sleep style in the first half, they came alive in the second and really should have won this game by a heftier margin. Julian Speroni and Joel Ward did not only grab their fourth clean sheet in five but they also secured 3 bonus points for their owners. Speroni was not very busy throughout the game, but he did come up huge with a cat-like save to secure the win for his side. Investment in their back line does come with a word of c...[Read More]

Gameweek 32 Fantasy Reviews Manchester City 4-1 Southampton Goals: Toure, Nasri, Dzeko, Jovetic; Lambert Assists: Dzeko, Silva, Kolarov, Navas; Cork Bonus Points:  Nasri (3), Silva (2), Dzeko (2) Fantasy Focus: Manchester City: City came out with a 4-1 win on a day that saw the opposition win the possession battle by 12 percentage points. Better overall play in the final third is what separated these two sides at the end of the day, Joe Hart had a relatively easy day in goal, he only faced one shot on target and you guessed it, it went in. Nevertheless Hart is looking like a solid pick if money is not tight, when you consider City’s schedule for the final stretch. That of course can be said about all of their starting defenders except for Aleksandar Kolarov. Unfortunately he has not been a...[Read More]

Gameweek 32 Fantasy Reviews – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Manchester United 4-1 Aston Villa Goals: Rooney (2) Hernandez, Mata, Westwood Assists: Mata, Kagawa, Januzaj, Agbonlahor Bonus Points: Rooney (3), Mata (2), Westwood (2) Fantasy Focus: Manchester United: Apparently this one kicked off with some plane flying over Old Trafford which is quite distasteful I think so ignore all that. United should thank Villa for getting their confidence up in this one, they need all the positive energy they can get before they play Bayern Munich. Rooney broke his Old Trafford hoodoo as he netted two in this one, one being a penalty. Frustrating for a few managers I would think as with United’s blank coming up I think many stayed away from the United forward. Juan Mata got his first g...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Gameweek 31 Review – FPL Premier League [divider_1px] Chelsea 6-0 Arsenal Goals: Eto’o, Schurrle, Hazard, Oscar (2), Salah Assists: Schurrle, Matic (2), Torres Bonus Points:  Oscar (3), Matic (2) Schurrle (1) Fantasy Focus: Chelsea: In just an absolute flattening of Arsenal, Chelsea demonstrated what a title contender really looks like. Big teams step up in big moments and a quick glance at CFC’s record vs top 10 teams at home is a clear example of that. They finished 9-0 with 26 goals in favour and 5 against. They possess the 3 highest scoring FPL players in 3 different areas, forwards being the only blip. Considering their remaining schedule, 6 of 7 versus bottom 10 teams, any extra investment in defensive assets could well be justified. That is 10 clean sheets in ...[Read More]

Game-week 28 Review – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Everton 1-0 West Ham Goals: Lukaku Assists: Baines Bonus Points: Baines (3), Stones (2), Lukaku (2) Fantasy Focus: Everton: West Ham have been on a fantastic run so for Everton to keep them scoreless is a great effort. Fantasy managers who own Mirallas will not have been happy as he started on the bench. Leighton Baines showed how important he is to this Everton team as his attacking qualities caused problems for the Hammers defence finally resulting in him providing the assist for the goal. Lukaku was rightly tipped during the week and came up good. He did start on the bench but this was due to a chest infection and so should be in the mix from the start next time out. Steven Pienaar showed some good form in this one and may ...[Read More]

Fantasy Football Review – Gameweek 27 – FPL Premier League Chelsea 1-0 Everton Goals: Terry Assists: Lampard Bonus Points: Terry (3), Cahill (2), Ivanovic (1) Fantasy Focus: Chelsea: What did we learn from Chelsea in this game? Well, what we should have known all along, grab Hazard and one of their defenders. CFC have kept 12 clean sheets for the season, 6 at Home and 6 Away. Terry in particular has delivered 7.5 PPG over his last 6 games, but don’t discount any of his defensive mates as a possibility. Cech, Cahill, Iva and Azpi are all worthy of consideration, 6 out of their last 8 opponents have not been able to register a goal against them. As for SuperEden, it was not one of his best performances, but it is obvious he is the main generator of offense at CFC. He had 5 key pa...[Read More]

Game-week 26 Review – FPL Fantasy Football Premier League Welcome to the game-week that nearly wasn’t! The big fear all week in the build up to GW26 was that the London tube strike would wipe out some or all of the fixtures in the capital but we managed to side-step that one nicely. What we didn’t see coming was the mother of all storms in the North hitting home on Wednesday night and wiping out both the Everton v Crystal Palace and Man City v Sunderland games. This of course now means the prospect of even more double game-weeks to enjoy but quite where Man City are going to fit them all in now is anybody’s guess! Of course it was too late to do anything about it from a fantasy football point of view and it sent most of us running off to check the state of our subst...[Read More]
