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.

      So Jamsiep, if you still had Malouda, would you play Nolan over him? I rather want 90 minutes from him than 15 from Malouda.

      Basically it comes down to how likely Malouda is to get just a few minutes if he doesn't start I guess.

        If I still had Malouda then I would 100% play him, ahead of pretty much everyone... You can't make decisions like that based on the hope that he doesn't play.

          All right all right, makes sense. I hope he's sent off so I can get rid of him anyway.

              Well I certainly don't rate him as highly as some others don't here. I've only seen him the last few games and he's had far more credit than he's deserved imo.

              Can't deny that his price as an OOP player in Everton is attractive though.

              I see goals in that one, mostly from Tottenham players.

    OK, just seen Scout picks after watching my boys maintain their unbeaten record in the Championship.

    Interesting that I agree with the scout on keeper choice-and I have Joe Hart yet I think Carson is a better play this week.

    Not sure about Zigic. Think I will do Shawx to Elmo and Bale or N'Zog to free up cash for Fabs next week. Woul djust do the one but not sure if Bale plays this week.
