Frisking The Fixtures – Gameweek Nine

19 October 2010 946 comments

Andy

Another week, another notch on the ticker passes by. That means that it’s time to consult the updated version in our sidebar and locate those potentially profitable streaks, with the fixture computer appearing to smile on some of the Premier League’s “lesser lights” right now…

The Highs…

West Brom
Roberto Di Matteo’s side have been somewhat of a revelation, peaking of late with results at the Emirates and Old Trafford; they’ve also managed to keep an unbeaten home record. All of this without the performances last year’s player of the season Graham Dorrans can provide. With three reasonable home fixtures in the next six (FUL, MCY, STK) and three away trips which should spawn a few goals (blp, whm, wig), investment in their attacking players looks a very decent option. Indeed, City at home and Everton away are their toughest looking games in the next eight Gamweeks. The unassuming Chris Brunt has been picking up points consistently at only 5.4, James Morrison is even cheaper at 4.5 and Peter Odemwingie shouts out at only 5.2 up front. The latest on him is that he’s still struggling for the Fulham clash this weekend, so keep your ear to the ground on eyes on our team news and tweets for the latest before considering that move further.

West Ham
Slowly, slowly catchy monkey. Bottom of the table they may very well be, but West Ham are an improving side and have the fixtures to come in the next few weeks to go on building. Their next five Gameweeks hand them home ties against all three of this season’s promoted sides, as well as a trip to Birmingham (so-so, sure) and one to Arsenal (not one for the defenders, certainly). Scott Parker (5.4) is always the key figure in midfield, although Mark Noble’s (5.4) spot-kicks are getting him noticed. Investment in the bargain strike-force of Victor Obinna (5.5) and Frederic Piquionne (5.1) is perhaps more likely, while Da Costa (4.8) is a growing presence at the back and that’s beginning to interest the FPL Bonus judges.

Blackpool
Unfortunate in their defeat to Man City on Sunday, “plucky little Blackpool” are close to shedding that patronising label as they continue to put in displays of no-fear flowing football. We stressed it last week and we will emphasise it again – after a bout of away games, they’ve now got the fixtures on their side and are offering Fantasy Managers with decent potential in the budget bracket. Their attacking assets remain tempting, with Charlie Adam (currently in the Fantasy Premier League dream team), DJ Campbell and Luke Varney (both 4.5) all an ever-present danger to the opposition.

Also to consider: Bolton, Newcastle, Man United and, if you really need to gamble, Liverpool.

The Lows…

Sunderland
The Black Cats seem to have been stuck in a spell of testing opposition since day one. Not a week goes by without Steve Bruce’s side being flagged up in the worst possible way in our “frisking”. Away games at Newcastle, Tottenham and Chelsea continue to offer little encouragement for investment however, and while Darren Bent and Elmohammady seem to offers potential returns regardless of opposition, there’s little doubt that they’re getting little assistance from the fixture list. Form at the Stadium of Light is solid, but away from home things are pretty much disastrous. Three draws and a defeat this season fail to mask the fact that they’ve won just 2 of their last 33 away games – a staggering stat and one that will hardly fill Fanatsy Managers with confidence given their forthcoming schedule.

Blackburn
Last night’s 0-0 draw with the Black Cats signalled the start of a run of games that will test Blackburn’s progress and could have Fantasy Managers shedding any of their remaining assets. The spell starts with a trip to Anfield – a good time to pay a visit perhaps but even so, it’s hardly a potential Fantasy payday at either end of the field. This is followed by away games at Newcastle and Spurs and home encounters with Chelsea and Villa. It’s tough to spot a clean sheet in that run of five, which means that owners of Chris Samba and Phil Jones will have to keep fingers and limbs crossed for attacking returns; not a great scenario.

Wolves
Horrible, just horrible. That’s a pretty kind way of describing the four fixtures about to wheel their way into Wolves’ line of sight this week. Given the form that Mick McCarthy’s men have shown against the “weaker” opposition, Wolves could well be about to sink further into the mire. It all starts with a trip to Stamford Bridge this weekend, before both Man City and Arsenal pop down to Molineux. With an Old Trafford trip to follow that, Wolves have basically got to play this season’s likely “big four”, including arguably the two toughest fixtures of the season. McCarthy is putting a brave Yorkshire face on the situation, but the HMS Wolverhampton is a sinking ship under fire right now.

Also be wary of: Stoke

Just for those early to bed early to rise types who missed the posting last night:
MEMBERS V NON MEMBERS
GOOD V EVIL
RIGHT V WRONG

Well we stand once again upon a battlefield, those of us with Samba the traitor, bloodied yet unbowed. All in all it was an improvement for both sides over last weeks poor showing. The brave and noble Members had to turn the irresistible tide of barbarian non-members who had claimed three wins on the trot, with men such as the honourable Hodge with his Wii Not Fit scoring a dashing 71 points things were looking good, but alas a berserker creature of horrid dimensions called Multiple Scoregasms battered down the gates with a resounding 83. Overall the cumulative scores are as follows

……………..drum roll………….

MEMBERS 979 V 970 NON MEMBERS

Hurrah let today be a bank holiday and tell your grandchildren that this, was their finest hour. A comeback of near epic proportions releases the mounting pressure on the Member’s lead, this result means that overall the scores are

MEMBERS 7849 V 7823 NON MEMBERS

This increases the lead marginally to a mere 26 points. Still uncomfortably close for my liking, but fear not! My wildcard team will be 100 points per week easy

    I'm not sure exactly what this shows? Perhaps the fact that members are more committed to FPL hence their FFS membership & score as opposed to it being down to the Opta Stats they have available.

      Possibly yes, statistically speaking 16 members V 16 non-members is too small a sample to be really significant. Also all participants were recruited here on a first come first served basis so by their being on this site the participants are generally more likely to care about their side. However it IS good craic so will be continued until the end of the season.

14:09 Boss on throwing points away. "We're disappointed. We were fantastic on Saturday... for an hour. But when you lose a bad goal it impacts [on y ou] and West Brom took advantage of that."

14:08 Sir Alex says the Bursaspor game won't be easy, but hopes United's impressive European home record continues tomorrow night.

14:07 Club press officer: "We'll cover the Bursaspor game first... and deal with the Wayne Rooney issue afterwards."

        we've done nothing but help him since he came to this club so it's another mystery for us.
        
        This is one of the most successful clubs in the world, we don't understand it. We can speculate. It won't matter... Player is adamant

        Not this time me thinks. If roo goes because he was not given a big enough contract last year fergie wont be far off following him out the door. I cant see him hanging around to see if he can make top four ahead of spurs while trying to pay off the hefty interest repayments on the glazers loans without champions league football!
        
        Not all lost though, maybe Rafa might be available after he fails to win Serie A this year 😆

Breaking news
"Re: Today At Old Trafford - thread
hey i would like to know if Rafa really did get married over the summer... because I read reports that he did and that now Senor Fergie can't tell the difference between the twins cause now they both wear wedding rings. Apart from that, I would really like to know who is the player he looks up to...like his favorite player.

  I still can't believe it, the fact that Fergie has confirmed that he wants to leave is the nail in the coffin as far as I am concerned, if there was a glimmer of hope that he was staying Fergie would not have been so unequivocal about him leaving.

Swap him for Torres 😉

  It's got to be city, they must be offering some seriously stupid amount of money. Jesus, can't believe it.
  
  As long as we sign 2 WC players to replace him, cheerio potato head.

      I'd be very suprised if Madrid signed Rooney, it would primarily be an exercise in shirt sales. Football wise I think they will probably go for Llorente

As a media type I applaud Ferguson. The rooney spin machine has been out of control this week and now with this announcement Fergie is back in control, asserting his authority, telling it like it is and leaving thousands of Man Utd fans cursing the Roonster, who after all is just a whoring chav with a wad of cash and a contract with Dreamworks.

    For me its not a massive shock. I mean I never expeceted him to stay all his career as he has no real ties to United.
    
    If anything il always thought he would leave but maybe not for a few more years and then go abroad or back to Everton.
    
    Still though he is THAT good. One season aside

  This is nothing to do with Money really Zidane. Its just one footballer .
  
  Rooney left Everton "his boyhood club" already.
  
  I think what this is im afraid is the beginning of a new phase in United where they arent top dogs anymore and players leave.
  
  There was a big debate on irish radio about it and some were liking it to Liverpool after the 1980s. United cant stay on top forever as these things go in cycles.
  
  They will still be a power but not have the big muscle in the transfer market or perhaps win as many trophies as they have done in the last 20 years.

        But with the investement in city and Chelsea it Looks like it could go that way in the coming years.
        
        But things always change again in football. Certainly Uniteds future is not gona be decided by Rooney leaving anyway.
