Our Watchlist rankings have had a quick-fire update following last night’s action, which effectively saw the passing of another of Gameweek. No doubt tonight’s events will bring further changes, but those looking for a quick guide to some mid-term player recommendations can take a glance in their sidebar on the frontpage for our latest rankings.

The headlines include Rafael Van der Vaart’s climb to the top of the Midfielders, thanks in no small part to another goal last night, the injury doubt surrounding Nani (who will re-enter our rankings once we know more) and the continued dip in form for Chelsea’s Florent Malouda…

Improved fixtures for Wolves, Bolton, Liverpool and Man City from Gameweek 13 onwards, has their players all enjoying climbs up our tables across the positions. Marcus Hahnemann appears to offer strong value in the Goalkeeper category, while in front of him we’ve currently gone for Christophe Berra with doubt surrounding the continued starting roles of Richard Stearman and Kevin Foley. Matt Jarvis in Midfield and Kevin Doyle in the Forwards, also climb the table as a result of their promising run of opponents following tonight’s clash with Arsenal.

The Bolton pairing of Kevin Davies and Johan Elmander have climbed to their highest position of the season. Their run of form coincides with a decent run of fixtures which should add up to continued returns in the coming weeks. West Brom’s Peter Odemwingie is sandwiched in between; he’s expected to return against West Ham tonight and looks a strong proposition at 5.1 in the Fantasy Premier League game, with some obliging defences heading his way over the next six Gameweeks.

We will bring you news of any notable changes as a result of tonight’s matches and over the next 48 hours we will be looking closer at a couple of our most notable movers in the rankings.

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

    Just one of those mid week rotation nights.. i'm not going to to go all knee-jerk about this. In fact i'm writing the knee jerk tonight and i might make that my theme..

    This happens every year, players get rotated.. its just annoying when it all happens at once and in one position. Particually for me in defence where you need a minimum of three defenders

    Coleman not starting really p*sses me off! Brought him and Cahill in last week. Worked well over the weekend, but now one doesn't start and the other won't have the Yak next to him and likely won't score as well. Feck!

    We did say on the scoutcast a strong bench was important. I'm only worried about players coming on for minutes which is why I benched Nani. Oh well, got to rely on oodles of luck.

      +1- I'd have done the exact same if I was in your position- the only reason I played hernandez was because I felt he might be benched and then come on for the last 30-40 minutes, a situation where I can see him getting more points than if he had started....

    im not worried about coleman missing more than one of every 4 or 5 matches, as long as you dont have utter filth at the back end of your defence, his returns are worth the occasional sub in IMO. Im still behind you Seamus!!!

      so you'll buy a defender to only play him 1 every 4 matches. that's bullshit.

    Wow, good subs are really going to come into play, no Coleman, Alex, O Shea or Adam for me with only Konchesky and Phil Jones on the bench as DJ Campbell is a real sub, bugger.

    Cesc, NZogbia, Drogba, Carroll, Malouda and Nani will have to really turn it on to save this from being a disaster.
