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

the good news is the way i see it

that united sold ronaldo and didnt re invest the money, and altho there was objectio from the fans they had their rehearesed answers of the squad is good enough and implied that the team with rooney at the mantle was better and would be built around him

with rooney and ronaldo gone within two seasons this calls for a marquee signing and the fans and possibly fergie will demand it.

I hope that the transfer that goes through is NOT benzema, diarra and cash, as these are two sub par players. I would take the risk on a substantial amount of cash.

United will have to sign a talesment; sneider, torres, kaka, aguero, someone who will life the fans, fergie, and shrit sales.

If one of these happens it could actually benefit united greater then an out of form rooney and the gap left by ronaldo!

  Talisman. It seems unlikely that Utd would be able to spend the kind of money required to buy any of those. Although we'll soon see if the promise that there was £160m in the bank to spend is true or not...

Speaking of kids, can we all just take a moment and appreciate how good a manager Arsene Wenger is. It has been proven this season. With Liverpool in debt and sh*t. Utd in even more debt. Wenger has managed to turnover profit despite moving to a new stadium. Once the last of the Highbury flats have been sold all debt will be cleared. All that while building a squad with great depth, second only to City and bringing through talented youngsters like Wilshere, Ramsey, Gibbs. Now just to get a new physio..

    Trophies are on the way, maybe not this season but very soon. Chelsea squad is aging, Utd and Liverpool in debt. If everyone was fit we have an immense squad, the likes of Walcott, Chamakh, Bendtner, Wilshere, Ramsey Rosicky, Gibbs, Denilson would all be battling to make the starting 11.

  I would agree with that, he is a great manager but he has a major weakness. He is trying in vain to create a 'perfect' footballing side without the vital ingredients, strength and strength of character. No side has won the league without that.

Hi all, as usual advice would be greatly appreciated. Would a 4 pt hit this week and one more 4 pt ht next week be worth it to have this team for GW10? (I won't bore you with the 5 transfers needed to get there)
Foster/Hahnn
ACole/ ElMumm/ Jones/ Enrique/ Jara
Fabs/ Malouda/ Nani/ Davies/ 4.4m (maybe Cleverley?)
Drog/ Berba/ Varney
