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.

    Are many people risking Bosingwa? I could play it safe(r) and go for Coleman or Mummy...

          I'd love to do the bosingwa move, just risky though... I'd be wildcarding next week so itd only be for tomorrow... just worried he might go off on 59 mins and I could get Mummy instead, who rises tonight!

          Havent heard anything new from Thom Yorke, it's bad is it?

            if wildcarding, id get both!
            im not too worried about bos, think cole might be the one to go off early if theyre cruising, his ankle is playing up and it would be a simple case of pushing zhirkov back who looks like he is starting

            where as carlo has been bigging up bosingwa, 100% fit ya da ya da..think hel give him a good run!

              Cheers mate! I'm not wildcarding now, will be next week though! Thing is, mummy will be in my wildcard team to stay, bos wont - he'll be rotated too much. I only want him for tomorrow as he could do very, very well against wolves!

    Fairly happy with my team but thinking Nasri > NZog is worth a 4 point hit.

    Likely to be doing it next week anyway as part of a Malouda > Fab swap (so a hit at some point) but not sure if best to do this week as Arsenal might struggle against a strong city defence and Wigan could get a couple home against Bolton.

    Any thoughts?

      I did Nasri > NZog this week and am planning Malouda > Fab next week also. It seems like good sense to me, except I didn't have to take a 4 point hit. Worth a shot nevertheless, as Nasri could easily get just 2 points this week.

        Scholes is injured for starters. Yaya isn't much better.

          Nicely done, replying to yourself. Scholes is fit. Which of Williamson and Hangeland do you suggest I bring on, then?

    Thinking of bringing in a West Brom defender, is Jara worth the extra 0.1 over Tamas
    plus who looks better for a clean sheet this week Newcastle or Wigan?
