Sunday Review GW17 – FPL Fantasy Premier League

Sou v TotSouthampton 2-3 Spurs
Managerless Spurs made the trip to St Mary’s to take on a Southampton side that have lost a bit of form of late. With no AVB in sight, it was up to Tim Sherwood to try and turns things around for Spurs and attempt to get them back up the table. Things did not start well for them though as after 13 minutes Adam Lallana opened the scoring for the Saints with a lovely turn and clinical finish. Danny Fox was credited with the assist as he passed the ball to his skipper to open the scoring. Then from absolutely nothing, Spurs equalised as Roberto Soldado chased down a pass from Adebayor that was heading for the corner flag, he then delivered a swirling right foot cross that perfectly found Adebayor again who stabbed the ball home in mid flight.Just a note here, this was Spurs’ first goal by a striker in their last 665 minutes of premier league action. Frightening that! After the break and Spurs took the lead as Danny Rose fizzed in a low cross which Jos Hooiveld turned into his own net. Soon after however and the scores were level once again as Rickie Lambert passed the ball easily into the net, this after Lloris made a horrible mess, misjudging a cross by Jack Cork which then fell to the feet of Lallana at the far post who squared it up to Lambert. The scoring was not over yet though as Adebayor got his second of the game and the three points for Spurs. He found himself free on the right hand side and made his way into the box before neatly finishing into the far corner from a narrow angle. Spurs really could have made it more after that but Soldado missed a couple of very good chances. It was enough to see them over the line though in what was an entertaining five goal thriller.
Bonus Points: Adebayor(3), Lallana(2), Lambert(1)

Swa v EveSwansea 1-2 Everton
Another great opportunity here for Everton to carry on with their remarkable form and keep up with the front runners in the league. It was a bit of a slow start with a couple of chances here and there for both teams but nothing too concrete. In fact that was the theme of the half as it seemed both teams were a bit tentative and as a result a number of passes went astray. The only potential talking point was a tackle by Ashley Williams in the Swans box on Ross Barkley that could actually have resulted in a penalty but nothing came of it. Things got slightly better in the second half as a lot more chances were created but still no breakthrough. Then up stepped the most in form defender at this time, Seamus Coleman, with an absolute screamer of a finish. He picked the ball up from James McCarthy, drove forward a little bit and then unleashed a thunderbolt from far out which flew into the top corner. All of a sudden this game kicked into another gear. Soon after that Swansea found the equaliser, as a cross found Tiendalli at the far post and his effort deflected off Everton’s Oviedo and crept into the goal. This could well go down as an own goal which now puts own goals as Swansea’s highest goal scorer for the season. Everton then found themselves with a breakaway which resulted in James McCarthy being fouled. Up stepped Ross Barkley with a peach of a free kick that deserved to see the three points go the way of the blue side, and see them move into the top four.
Bonus Points: McCarthy (3), Barkley(2), Williams & Tiendalli (1)

    Hey guys! Hope all of you had a good GW, I still have hazard Ozil and Ramsey to play tonight. Could I have some help with my team (it’s linked)? Would my top priority be my goalkeeper situation, as Vorm is injured and Mignolet has city and Chelsea away next? Thanks in advance for your help :borg:

    My aim of the season was to beat the average score every GW. I am managing to do that but still getting red arrows. Annoying AF.

      Veer says:

      M&B, there are over 3.1 million players in the game. Average would mean around 1.55 millionth position. Are you sure you want to set your standards that low? Lol

      • Milk and Busquets says:

        Veer, its not about low standards, its about consistency.

      • Veer says:

        Haha! That’s right it is, but I aim for top 500,000 every GW, although I have missed out 3 times this season. I guess standards wasn’t the right word

        • Milk and Busquets says:

          Exactly. The point being that even if you have a real bad GW, if you still beat GW average, it isn’t -THAT- bad.
