Roberto Manicini’s City side cruise past the banana skin thrown down by Mark Hughes and his Fulham outfit at the Cottage. Up at Ewood meanwhile, it’s another setback for Gerard Houllier as Villa are kept at bay by a resolute Rovers following a couple of Morten Gamst Pedersen strikes. Here’s the notes from Sunday’s events…

Blackburn put in a stout defensive performance in their 2-0 home win over Aston Villa, with a series of impressive Paul Robinson saves mainly responsible for the clean sheet. Nikola Kalinic was dropped as Jason Roberts led the line in a game that saw David Dunn manage his first full game of the season. After next week’s trip to Old Trafford, Big Sam’s team have a kind run of fixtures that read (WOL, bol, WHM, STK, wba) and look in good form; this was their third win in four. Morten Gamst Pedersen, in particular, looks a player worth considering; his match-winning brace means he has now returned 4 goals and 9 Fantasy Premier League (FPL) Bonus Points in his last four league games.

An overnight illness kept rising star Marc Albrighton out of the Aston Villa line-up, forcing Ashley Young back into midfield, with Stephen Ireland coming in to play off a lone forward. Robert Pires came off the bench to make his debut for Gerard Houllier’s side, but the injury-decimated Midlanders are far from full-strength right now. Known for their defensive solidity under Martin O’Neill, Villa are struggling to keep opponents at bay; they’ve earned just one clean sheet in the last six games.

Carlos Salcido and Chris Baird returned from injury for Fulham, but the Cottagers were blown apart by visitors Man City. Mark Hughes’ side had only conceded two goals in their previous four games, but the gulf in class was alarming at times. Fulham have now managed just one win in their last ten games and with both Bobby Zamora and Moussa Dembele out injured, look toothless up front. Three critical home games in the next five (BIR, ars, SUN, liv, WHM) could help their cause but Hughes’ side are perilously close to being drawn into the relegation zone.

Man City brushed aside recent claims of negative football by putting four goals past Fulham in their most impressive performance of the season. Talisman Carlos Tevez grabbed two goals and one assist in a display that saw him pick up the maximum 3 FPL Bonus Points. That haul makes him the Premier League top scorer and puts him just a point behind Bolton’s Johan Elmander in the FPL Forward rankings.

A deflected Zoltan Gera goal meant City conceded for the first time in four games, but Joe Hart was rarely troubled as their back four continue to look impressive. Interestingly, full-back Aleksander Kolarov was also taking corners, which could give him the edge over other City defenders for an upcoming run of games that reads (stk, BOL, whm, EVE, new, AVL). James Milner and Adam Johnson were again benched as Yaya Toure impressed in an attacking central midfield role for Roberto Mancini’s side.

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

    Was looking at replacement for Elmo, Bramble looks the best option, it appears to me that Bardsley might lose his place to Ferdinand when Ferdinand is back having not played on GW's 4 and 5 (Ferdninand did play) and being replaced by Ferdinand in GW 12 also, just little indicators I suppose,but don't want to have to replace Bardsley.

    2 freebies this week (with Boateng and Albrighton illness/injury I am happy to hold on to both), any suggestions?

      Team looks strong mate.

      Albrighton is cheap enough not to need transferring out, he's a starter when fit.

      Address Boateng and Elmo first if I was you, theri pitch time is uncertain to say the least.

      Kolarov looked the business yesterday.

        Hi Johnny,

        I remember u were scouting for a new member of your attack, replacing Piquionne. Doubling on Bolton forwards seem like a not bad idea and if Mummy has to go, Konchesky is good option IMO. Plus Eve and Liv have ultimate H&A rotation.

    A Cole- Coleman- Elmo- (Jara)- (Alcaraz)

    Fab- VDV- Nani- Nzog- Albrighton

    Torres- Tevez- Varney

    a- Cole-> Kolarov/ Varney-> Elamander (4 point hit- 1.9 remaining)
    b- Cole-> Vidic/ Alcaraz-> Kolarov (4 point hit .4 remaining)
    c- Something completely different (if so what???)

      Im thinking of rotating the same players (I have cole/elmo/salcido/konchesky/simpson - VDV/Ferguson/Fabregas/albrighton/Nani - Tevez/Drogba/Varney) - but thinking, Drogba -> Rooney, Varney->Elmander, or Salcido->Vidic, Drogba -> Elmander.. , or even salcido->Kolarov somewhere amidst a drogba/elmander swap.. It's pretty critical for me too cause I just went into the lead in my league 😮

      I realise Chelsea haven't been playing well but Cole will still no doubt be the highest scoring defender.

      Before you reomve a fit A.Cole I would look at Elmo, if he doesn't start tonight he needs to go first, Blackburn have a decent fixture run maybe Elmo to Samba/Jones?

    Dear FPL players,

    Would you please stop buying Onuoha and Elmander. I am considering buying these players for this weekend but would like to wait until after the midweek games. While I can afford either even with a couple of price rises, I would rather have as much money as possible.

    Yours sincerely

        Little manager in me says "Carlo, play the best team you got, break the deadlock, get a goalfest and everything starts to go ok in premier league also...".

        But unfortunately there will be propably very few first team players involved. Anelka and Drog rested for sturrige and kakuta or whoever.

          Well, I thought that. But really the only team I may have not seen him scoring against so far was Arsenal. Let's be honest, Arsenal aren't the best defensively.

          He does look good though, I have Caroll and am considering changing him to Elmander because of fixtures. Boltons team as a whole is on good form and so is Elmander.

          If I was getting either in as a choice now, I'd definitely go Elmander.

            I've got a front 3 of Drogba, Carroll and Tevez.
            And a defence of Stam, Cahill, Toure, Konchesky and Coleman.

            Toure is going for Kolorov, but I'm tempted to double up on City this week and then shift out Toure the week after.

              Not so sure about doubling up on Man City this week. Stoke have won the last 3 and Man City are away. Then again they did demolish Fulham.

              I have the same front 3 as you currently. The only change I might make is Caroll to Elmander.

          None of them really have great fixtures. I'd probably go with Simpson or maybe Foley. Jara and West Brom are hitting a bad run of form at the moment, but the fixtures aren't all that bad. Might be worth taking a punt on one of the Blackpool defenders in that price bracket, but really I think Foley or Simpson.

        What do you guys think of my going Brunt > Lee? Didn't see MOTD so don't really know how he did against Newcastle.

        I want to get some Bolton cover in, and whilst I hate the idea of going for the third best option, I don't want to sell any of my strikers (Tevez, Drog ,Carroll) for Elmander / Davies.

        Lee generally seems to be involved if they get goals, and surely he'll get a big haul at some point?

          Lee looked good.....again.

          I don't really see him scoring any "big hauls" but he's consistently a threat, will score the odd goal, and plays 90 minutes every week.

          Kind of like Matt Jarvis, but for a much better team.

          Lee isn't a bad shout to be fair, especially at that price.

          Matty Taylor is another option as he's on free kicks and been playing well, but his points totals don't reflect that.

          I like the Rafael option, the only problem is rotation. He looks like he's the number one choice now though so can see him getting plenty more game time and perhaps not being rested as much.

          Otherwise you could just get another Sunderland defender as they are in good form (watch tonights game just incase), and have good fixtures.

          Onuoha or Brambles.

              Yeah, he has to score soon!

              But as good as Bolton are playing they have only kept one clean sheet all season. they aren't necessarily conceding a lot but just 1 goal takes off the 4 point clean sheet score which is frustrating every week 🙂

              Hits are good when they work out (but I guess that's obvious).

              I took a 4 point hit for Zhirkov to Kolarov and Malouda to VDV which worked out for me. I was also considering Elmander in for Caroll which would have been 8 points but again would have worked out over all.

              Sometimes you just get lucky 🙂

              I think I'll be taking another 4 pointer this week!

          Its a huge call BH.

          Carroll is a point scorign machine, but his fixtures are turning, Drogba has done sod all for weeks, has poor fixtures, but apparently was on fire against Brum. Tevez, erm, keep Tevez.

          It seems like the perfect time to pile into Bolton forwards, but sometimes you have to let a bandwagon go. You can't have all the players all the time!

          He could be out for months and Chelsea have been linked with lots of defenders for the January transfer window. But there's been no real news yet, as far as I know.

          That's a pretty pricey defense, if you're going to get another Chelsea defender I'd get Ivanovic. If not maybe downgrade to a Sunderland defender like Onuoha or Brambles and use the money elsewhere?

            Coleman should be good for a couple of points.

            As our new guru Granville, what would you do with the Drogba, Tevez, Carroll dilema? One of them out for Elmander / Davies, or just bring in Lee to limit the damage?

              I'm thinking Lee.

              I'm no guru, but I'm keeping Drogba because I think it's unlikely that Tevez will outscore him from now on. Do you really think Citeh will be freescoring as they were yesterday? Very difficult one though, I think you need Carroll because of his value.

          Monday night.
          In the bath.
          Radio on.
          All to play for.

          Well if Gyan doesn't play, I think that Sunderland would be a bit toothless. Coleman might have a good chance for a cleanie then.

          Famous last words.
