Had a bit of a disaster last week so I'll pass and judge others 🙂

Good luck all!

Good luck all

(Henry V, Act III)

KING HENRY V:
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more;
Or close the wall up with our English dead.
In peace there's nothing so becomes a man
As modest stillness and humility:
But when the blast of war blows in our ears,
Then imitate the action of the tiger;
Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood,
Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage;
Then lend the eye a terrible aspect;
Let pry through the portage of the head
Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it
As fearfully as doth a galled rock
O'erhang and jutty his confounded base,
Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide,
Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit
To his full height. On, on, you noblest English.
Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof!
Fathers that, like so many Alexanders,
Have in these parts from morn till even fought
And sheathed their swords for lack of argument:
Dishonour not your mothers; now attest
That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you.
Be copy now to men of grosser blood,
And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman,
Whose limbs were made in England, show us here
The mettle of your pasture; let us swear
That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not;
For there is none of you so mean and base,
That hath not noble lustre in your eyes.
I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips,
Straining upon the start. The game's afoot:
Follow your spirit, and upon this charge
Cry 'God for Harry, England, and Saint George!'

Foster

Terry , Schlupp, Lescott

Puncheon , Silva , Ozil , Hazard

Giroud , Kane , Aguero

Foster + Lescott : lack of decent options + Pulis factor

Schlupp : Opp + Hull are awful + lack of decent options

Puncheon : impressive recent form + good home fixture

Silva : Looks like one of the best options at the min + easy fixture

Ozil : Sanchez not that impressive in cup + form

Sorry for the length of the post

Foster (STO)

Bellerin (WHU), Zouma (SOU), Schlupp (HUL)

Ozil (WHU), Silva (bur), Hazard (SOU), Coutinho (swa)

Aguero (bur), Giroud (WHU), Kane (manu)

83.6

Pantilimon (4.6)
Ivanovic (7.5) - Baines (7.0) - Bellerin (4.6)
Hazard (10.9) - Cazorla (8.6) - Silva (9.7) - Puncheon (5.6)
Aguero (13.0) - Kane (6.2) - Austin (6.3)

Bang on 84. All good form players with nice fixtures. Fancy goals in the CPLvQPR game with Austin / Puncheon to remain in the points with good underlying stats, and Baines to come back to fantasy form. Panty still solid option with Villa visiting. Bellerin and Cazorla offer good value for Arsenal at home against a deteriorating WHM side. The others pick themselves!!

Cost: 84.0

I'm backing Ben Foster to make amends this weekend and reap the rewards of the Pulis effect at home to Stoke. I've doubled up on Ivanovic and Terry for what I expect to be a narrow win against Southampton at Stamford Bridge. Jeff Schlupp has a chance of returns at both ends of the pitch in a relegation six-pointer at home to Hull. I've doubled up on Ozil and Sanchez, as I'm expecting goals in Arsenal's game against West Ham. I've also doubled up on Silva and Aguero, as I expect Manchester City will get a few goals at Burnley. Jason Puncheon is in form and at home to QPR - enough said. I think Spurs will score at Old Trafford and Harry Kane is the obvious choice there. Finally, I've gone with Saido Berahino as he's in form, on penalties, at home, and playing a Stoke side with injury problems at the back (and who in a superstitious twist are up against a hoodoo going back at least 10 years of teams placed 8th in early March performing very badly over the run in (see my article on relegation battlers posted yesterday)).

Pantilimon (AVL)

Ivanovic (SOT) Skrtel (SWA) Bellerin (WHU)

Silva (BUR) Ozil (WHU) Coutinho (SWA) Puncheon (QPR)

Aguero (BUR) Giroud (WHU) Kramaric (HUL)

81.8

GK - I see stalemate 0-0 between Villa and Sunderland plus a few saves from Pants.

DEF - Ivanovic averaging 5.8 ppp, skrtel a threat from set-pieces Swans toothless, West Ham poor currently Bellerin has attcking potential too.

MID - Silva bang in form and Burnley leave room in the box, Ozil is The Arsenal's top man currently, outshining even Sanchez, Coutinho getting the points his underlying stats deserve and Puncheon has created most chances for any midfielder in last 4 games.

ATT - Aguero is a no-brainer for same reasons as Silva, Giroud should get the opprtunities against WEst Ham to score highly, Krmaric is my wildcard. Looks a threat and already has a couple for Leicester...he could explode against dubious travellers Hull

Pantilimon (AVL) - Villa resurgent at home but haven't scores in 6 away games
Ivanovic(SOT) - Southampton not free scoring and obvious attacking threat aswell
Gibbs(WHM) - Arsenal strong at home and two assists and 5 baps in his last two
Schlupp (HUL) - Attacking potential and nice fixture
Puncheon (QPR) - Creating a lot of chances since Pardew took over and nice fixture
Sanchez(WHM) - Returned to the goals against QPR and most of his best hauls came at home to teams outside the top 7 i.e Stoke, Hull...
Silva(bur) - In great form and a nice fixture
Eriksen(mun) - Scores alot away from home and dangerous from set plays
Aguero(bur) - Tends to do better on the road and again Burnley concede a lot of chances so a nice fixture
Giroud(WHM) - In form and should return to the side after a rest
Murray(QPR) - A bit of a punt but 3 in 2 before the sending off and will return after palace failed to score at St Mary's

TV- 83.8

A bit late to the party but suprisingly not many teams posted so here it goes.

Panti

Terry Moreno Dawson

Silva Ozil Hazard Puncheon

Kun Giroud Austin

84.0

- Sunderland - Villa looks like a 0-0 game to me So I picked Panti.

- I am expecting Arsenal -Westham and Burnley City to be demolitions for the smaller teams so I picked Kun (better away from home), Silva (great form), Ozil (3 double figures in his last 3 home games) and Giroud (great scoring form).

- Chelsea - Soton will be a low scoring game. A 1-0 maybe for Chelsea.Hazard is key to everything Chelsea do and picks up maximum baps almost every game. I've gone for terry instead of Ivan for budget reasons and because I don't expect Ivan to be marauding forward as much as he does with the presence of Bertrand and Mane on his flank. Jose will instruct him to sit back a bit.

- Palace - QPR is a game between 2 sides that can't defend. Austin was very unlucky not to score at least 2 against Spurs so he is due. Puncheon on the other hand is in good form after moving centrally and is on set-pieces. Palace imperious on set-pieces and we all saw how QPR are dreadful defending those (Kane's 1st goal).

- I'm expecting Pulis to tighten things up after 2 consecutive defeats to Villa. Dawson is a great threat on set-pieces as backed by the stats and a CS is a possibility.

- Moreno offers attacking threat playing as a wing back. Liverpool have kept 5 consecutive away CSs so a CS is a big possibility.
