With double gameweek’s for Villa and Wigan, plus some desirable home fixtures for Chelsea, Liverpool and United and the injury to Cesc Fabregas, the script for gameweek 30 almost writes itself.
Covering the Villa defence, with four clean sheets in six, looks essential. Covering the chances of Milner taking another step towards South Africa by winning more plaudits and Fantasy Premier League bonus points looks almost essential. The only real dilemma appears to be how you back those three big sides at home this week – with Drogba, Rooney, Torres, Gerrard and Lampard all lining their sights up on obliging opponents and big fantasy hauls, where does your big money go?
Here’s the Scout Picks to offer my two-penneth… [click to continue…]
Hilario and Carvalho miss out but Zhirkov returns as Chelsea prepare for the Hammers. Cahill and Saha in the reckoning as Everton take the trip to St Andrews. Bowyer makes a recovery and should be in opposition. Agbonlahor comes through training as he readies himself for Villa’s double gameweek. Pulis hints at a shake-up for Stoke as they lie in wait for O’Neil’s men…
Today’s team news from around the grounds is almost complete. This new crop has been added to the earlier harvest and predicted lineups have been updated for the gameweek. Get over to the team news section for the latest and keep one eye on Greek Fan’s tweets for fresh goods.
In case you haven’t been paying attention to Greek Fan’s impeccably updated twitter feed (Why not?), a few little fixture nuggets have traveled down the wires in the last day or so.
Perhaps most interesting is that one of the remaining few pending games being rescheduled into gameweek 34, giving us more double gameweek food for thought. The fixture to be played on Wednesday 14th April will be Fulham FC vs Stoke City.
Stoke will have two away days against Fulham and Wolves on the cards, while Fulham add the fixture in perhaps their most unappealing gameweek possible; their other match being against Liverpool at Anfield. That game on the Mersey could be postponed however if Fulham manage to snatch and grab a victory at Spurs in their FA Cup replay…. [click to continue…]

Next up in our double gameweek analysis is Wigan Athletic, a side undoubtedly buoyed by last Monday’s home win over Liverpool. Despite having beaten two of the “Big Four” this season, Roberto Martinez’s side have been blighted by an inconsistency that sees them sit just four points above the drop zone and will be hoping to string together a run of results in their fight against relegation…

It appears we can count Cesc Fabregas out of our gameweek plans with Arsene Wenger today declaring that it would take a “miracle” for his skipper to step out onto the KC stadium surface on Saturday.
Fabregas was regarded as 50-50 for the weekend prior to Wednesday’s Champions League win over Porto. Those odds have somewhat shortened over the last 24 hours according to the Arsenal boss… [click to continue…]
Morning all. With gameweek brought to an unspectacular end at Turf Moor last night, here’s a timely reminder that the poll canvasing your views on the candidates for gameweek 30’s Fantasy Premier League captain is quietly buzzing away in your middle column.
Villa’s James Milner, with his double gameweek, currently dominates with Didier Drogba trailing. Wayne Rooney is making up ground though and last night’s returns against AC Milan are likely to keep that trend going.
Cast your vote over the next 24 hours and, as usual, use this thread to discuss the options.
Mark returns brazen faced from gameweek 29 with a right cob on after skippering Bendtner; so much so that I’m forced to flash him a yellow for a foul-mouthed tirade that earns this podcast a parental guidance certificate.
This broadcast is therefore suitable for ‘General listening, but some talk may be unsuitable for some children. Unaccompanied children of any age may listen but it should not disturb a child aged around eight or older. However, parents are advised to consider whether the content may upset younger or more sensitive children.’
Amongst all the potty talk, I’m left ruing the return of my bad luck. Was it bad luck or was it just a ‘Ricketts’?
Then it’s off to the fantasy island with a selection of players from all parts of the union. Anyone heard the one about the Englishman, Scotsman and Welshman? Well you’re not going to hear any well defined stereotypes on here; we’ve upset enough folk with this one.

Better late than never, tonight’s Dugout Discussion has opened up its doors to you locals. Get yourself a seat at the bar and contribute your own thoughts on tonight’s action as Burnley take on Stoke at Turf Moor and United look for a quarter-final place against AC Milan in the Champions League.
As this is typed Wayne Rooney, back in the United lineup tonight after his Molineux rest, has already handed Alex Ferguson’s men the lead putting them 4-2 ahead on aggregate. As for the game at Turf Moor, predictably that remains 0-0.
