Saturday Swap Shop

Filed under: Fantasy Football Team Selection - Posted by: Mark

No doubt you’re pondering last minute changes right now, particularly Fantasy Premier League managers who face that dreaded 11.30 deadline.

My own personal agony – whether to go with Tevez as a short-term option. Although the United man takes the spot alongside Adebayor in my Weekly Picks, I’ve tried to resist switching him in for Bent who is on form, will be at home next weekend and clearly has better fixtures over the coming month. I’ve been debating that one for many hours already but think I’ll stick with Bent with the long game in mind, even though I can see Tevez scoring heavy against Newcastle today.

I’ve also got an inkling about Darren Fletcher this morning which can never be healthy thing. I need a coffee.
