We’ve not done one of these for a while – not since the inspired selection of Abou Diaby a few weeks back. So who is our beady eye on this week?

Fantasy Football Selection

Friday, January 8th, 2010

With the weather, the postponements, etc it’s not worth sacrificing points to make changes this week – your transfers in may well not even play. Yes I’m looking at you -4 points Chris Baird… So, we’ve only one selection for you today, but it’s a good one. And it is…

Fantasy Football – The Final Straight

Tuesday, May 5th, 2009

We are right at the business end of the season now, and long term picks are no longer an option. Go with your convictions each week, and go for quick, easy, dirty points. I am still reeling from the decision to leave Arshavin on the bench the week he scored four – so I’m now going for a full strength eleven with rubbish subs. Looking at this week, the obvious stand out is United’s double header – away to Man City, and home to Wigan. Wigan also have two games, the first of which is away to West Brom, so may offer some appeal; but United are now well and truly over their blip and should offer a generous return…

Fantasy Fail

Monday, April 20th, 2009

Apologies for the lack of any Fantasy picks for the weekend just gone… to all of you sitting atop of your mini-leagues after following our advice through the season I can only offer my sincerest ‘sorry’. Fortunate, really, that there isn’t anyone in that category. Let us attempt redemption by pointing you the way of the excellent Fantasy Football Scout.

Fantasy Picks 11th/12th April

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

It’s Easter Weekend, a key moment in the season; from here teams can put together spectacular runs of form and pull clear of relegation, push into a European spot, even clinch the title; or likewise plummet inexorably downward, unable to save themselves. Who will do what? And who will be the key players involved? We try and pick the stand-outs from this weekend… and for the rest of the season.

Fantasy Picks: 4th/5th April

Friday, April 3rd, 2009

It seems like an age since the last set of Premiership fixtures; and we’er straight back in at the deep end, with a United’s crucial game against Villa, Liverpool’ tough assignment at Fulham, Shearer’s baptism against Chelsea, and the relegation six pointer at the Hawthorns (against Stoke). With many players returning from international duty, and teams not being together for over a week in some cases,anything could happen. We’ve sifted through for what we think are the three best options to propel you up your Fantasy League…

Fantasy Picks: 14th/15th March

Friday, March 13th, 2009

It seems an age since we did these, mainly because the last gameweek covered all the way up to Blackburn’s victory over Fulham in midweek. We’re back to usual now, with all the teams playing once; and it has to be said, nothing jumps out. We’ve had to dig particularly deep this week, read on to see who we’ve gone for…

Fantasy Picks: 3rd/4th March

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

It’s another double gameweek… we set things up nicely last week and were repaid handsomely by Stephen Warnock, if not so much by Morten Gamst Pederson. This time, Fulham, Blackburn, Spurs and Sunderland all have two games. Our three to watch…
