Selection

Metro Tips – Gameweek Ten

Gameweek Ten rolls on with our brief heads-up to Managers in the Metro Fantasy Football game that our “Picks” for the weekend are now live.

Once more we have chosen three “Bankers”, two “Punts” and one form player who has been “Bubbling Under” and threatens a major points haul. This week’s selections can be found here, but, as usual, we’d like to take this opportunity to mention a couple of players on the periphery who may also be worthy of consideration…

Unsurprisingly, there are some obvious selections who miss out, simply because team-mates offer stronger alternatives. Samir Nasri plays second fiddle to the maestro Cesc Fabregas, but remains a very promising proposition at home to the lowly Hammers; the same can be said for Dimitar Berbatov, looking to put his old club Spurs to the sword at Old Trafford in his usual languid, shoulder shrugging way.

It’s the “Punts” that spark the gamblers chance of course and, as always, there are plenty of contenders who just missed the cut. I see Richard Dunne burying the ghost of Gameweek last and notching strong defensive returns in Sunday’s local derby, while recent Watchlist favourite, Kevin Nolan, may turn some of his promising shooting stats into points in his own derby encounter against the Black Cats. I’ve also got an unhealthy hunch about Louis Saha’s prospects – 75% fit and in line to feature at home to Stoke.

Metro Managers can of course ignore these outlandish predictions and head on over to this link to discover which six men earned this week’s nominations.

        as far as i know nothing on whether bosingwa or ivanovic will start. as a bos owner i am praying he will, but my head is telling me ivanovic is more likely to considering the style of opponents!

    I need to rename my team "Squad of Doubt". Which question mark should go for Fabregas.

    Malouda
    Arteta (leaning here as he seems to be in perennial doubt phase)
    Bale
    Adam

    Also doing 4-point hit Odem to Hernandez. If Arteta is likely to be out, could another hit for Baines actually be worth it?

      Bale.

      Keep Arteta for the coming weeks. Adam should be ok, if not a sub can cover and Malouda isnt a doubt.

      I reckon Malouda will play v BBurn and get rested for the home champs league game

      Hernandez (in form, 2 home fixtures)
      Chamakh (decent home record, 2 nice home fixtures 1 nice away fixture, may get reduced game time)
      Carroll (decent shout this week but then away to Arsenal)

      I think the whole back line is quick risky, Coleman & Bosingwa may not start and Oshea may not play 60 mins

        In this case I have Williamson and Simpson with pretty good draw with Sunderland at home

    Where's all the chat about Fabregas getting injured this weekend? Last week virtually everyone made a hilarious De Jong joke, but this week he's up against Scott Parker, Mark Noble and Behrami - who are much dirtier IMO.

    P.S. @AttilathePlum - I've only just realised the hypocrisy in you criticising De Mong after doing a job on Ben Arfa...... Wasn't it your main man Tioté who ended Elano's World Cup with a horror tackle?!

        Part of me hopes that Berbatov batters Hernandez's score this weekend. Would be pretty funny.

            Hey, I like Hernandez, despite all my poor wumming...

            I'm going into this weekend hoping that Nani and Hernandez have blinders, and that Bale and VDV do jack shit.

            This game is so f*cked up. I'll actually be delighted if Utd win 4-0.

      looks good, only concern would be 2 baggies players (Bale is a risk though if not starting)

      should score well though.
