Sometimes us Fantasy Managers are just too fickle. Surely few of us lost faith in Charlie Adam? We know his influence in the Blackpool midfield – his role of quarterback, prompting every move of purpose with careful possession, launching instant attacks with raking 60-yard passes. We also know that Adam sits on free-kicks and penalties – today’s brace in the 2-2 draw at Ewood reminded us just how vital that can be.

We had all the information then, and yet, going into gameweek 30, only 1% of our Captain Poll voters fancied backing the balding ball-hogger, with heavyweight temptations like Wayne Rooney, Rafeal Van der Vaart and Nani drawing the eye.

I’m just as much to blame. Shamefully omitted form the Scout Picks behind the gameweek Fantasy failures Ashley Young and Samir Nasri, it’s almost as if Adam’s potential had slipped from memory.

Had a two-game suspension and an FA Cup break really wiped my brain? Had I mistakenly marked the data storing Adam’s achievements for “recycling” along with last week’s Masterchef winner and everything my girlfriend has ever told me?

That can’t be the case.

No, I’m only guilty of being fickle – banged to rights; distracted by bigger names and transient thrills that threw a smokescreen over Adam’s dependable potential.

Charlie is back now. Today’s points haul a sharp elbow in the ribs for the 140,000 Fantasy Premier League Managers who sold him on in recent gameweeks. A slap in the face for a Scout Picks selector seduced by erratic chancers like Villa’s Young.

And yet, I can’t guarantee that Adam will be back in my affections just yet. Can I squeeze him in my own star spangled midfield unit when it’s Fulham away and Arsenal at home to come next? Maybe.

That Arsenal game is the first of four consecutive Bloomfield Road matches – a spell that will surely guarantee that Adam’s price will rise quicker than his calorie count in May.

A new Adam bandwagon is rolling then. My memory banks safely restored. Fickle nature restrained.

By the way, Clint Dempsey scored tonight. Remember him? Didn’t he win Masterchef?

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

          Mignolet's only 3.9, good fixtures but needs to keep his place from Gordon. Gomes at 5.2, Spurs have a good recent home defensive record (conceded 1 in the last 5 at home).

        Fair play on the ranking. Imagine if you had just a couple more captains choices right.
        I've only really made a couple of good decisions this year, quite often seem to get a mediocre score off my captain. Not great, not cr@p (except for Lampard last week).

    Chelsea players should be fantasy managers' top priority at this point.

    There's a big gameweek 33 coming up that could swing points big time. Chelsea have a really nice double, coupled with ManUtd and City not having games means that managers should start moving now to prepare a team.

    Top targets are obviously: Luiz and Lampard. Get those two and you'll be looking pretty good. Maybe Torres or Drogba if they start firing, but eh... can't see past Lamps. Alex is also worth considering as he's fit now, and if he starts, at 5.8, is quite a steal.

      Lampard going up is annoying. I think om going to leave my team this week, and do Young -> o'hara & VDV -> Lamps with my two freebies. Seems daft as Young is at home to Newcastle & VDV is at home to stoke but such is the lure of Lamps vs Wigan followed bu a DGW.

            Maybe he'll be the one I'll skip then. Have a few big decisions to make, like who to replace Tevez with (7 or under), it'd break my heart to have Carroll in my side in that horrible red shirt 🙁
