While Charles N’Zogbia gets all the attention from the Fantasy Premier League Bonus Point decision makers, he will go on attracting the interest of Fantasy Managers. The Frenchman takes his place in my Picks this week, but for a while I was deliberating taking a gamble on Wigan’s Spanish playmaker Jordi Gomez.

A firm favourite of Roberto Martinez, Gomez has established himself in the support role playing off the lone striker in recent weeks and our Members’ Opta stats tables show that he’s taken his opportunity. Gomez is firing in shots, playing his part at set-plays and generally having a significant influence on Wigan’s attacking ploys.

A home fixture with Bolton this weekend offers Roberto Martinez’ side further opportunity to make strides. If we see goals at the DW Stadium, then N’Zogbia will likely have a hand in one or two but I also suspect that Gomez will get in on the act. At 4.8 he offers a budget prospect and with just a fraction of FPL owners, Gomez is the definition of a differential.

Mark Mark created the beast. He's now looking to tame it.

    What's the dealio with Nasri moving forwards? Is the idea that once Fabs is back, his points tally is going to be limited? Arsenal have good fixtures coming up, but if he's not going to do the business in the future, I might switch in N'Zog for a 4pt hit. Chances of getting a return from Wigan at home surely more than Arsenal away at Man City?

    ...Or should I just suck it up and wait until a free transfer?

      Prob worth doing if it allows you to get fabs And Nzog has a good chance of getting +4

        Nope - not going to happen. Only way I can get Fabs is swapping out Malouda. The thinking was to swap in N'Zog and use the extra 2mil to get in a Chelsea defender to boost my clean sheet potential.

        Given the comments about how they played together during the week, I'm going to give him this week to show me what he can do...

            Could do I guess. Risky though, particularly if he starts to rise again. Financially not as bad as Malouda, who I started the season with at £9.5m

          Malouda is who will reluctantly make way for fabs next week for me as when fit will score better, less rotation risk and if you have drogs still have Chelsea capt choice

                      I may be struggling to field 11 as well by the looks of it. I need Carroll (and Bale/Malouda) to start just to get a team out. Been checking NUFC forums and haven't heard owt on Enrique or Carroll. Good luck. We will need it.

                A) Huddlestone dropped, Palacios in.
                B) Bale dropped, Palacios in, Modric to Left wing.

          GK Foster / Robinson (I like this)

          DEF Konchesky / Carr / Gouhouri / P.Jones / Shawcross

          I love how the top players this year have balls of steel - i.e. steering away from traditional picks etc. I'm stuck in my ways, and the team suffers.

              Advice from someone in the top 10,000 is always good. I remember once being up there. Once.

              Yep, doubled on the Birmingham boys...not the best idea.

              Seems like good advice, but I'd need more than 6 points return from the Bos and Coleman to justify 4 point hit on two defensive transfers.

              Berba out is my gut feeling alright.

              I'm not sold on Coleman at all.

                  Just done...I really would love Coleman to turn out to be an Irish right-back solution but I don't see it. Big and fast ain't the same as a brilliant Defensive mind, but I suppose that's beside the point for FF!

        To Bale or not to Bale, that is the question.
        What usually happens is if I play him he will slip into left back but if I drop him then he scores a hatrick.
