Well back at it again after taking a few weeks off. This weekend plans on being very good for fantasy and for the matches in general. Now last week I made some bod moves and some paid off and some did not lol. I decided to get rid of Sanchez and it is very risky because he has been such a consistent player but I needed better players in different positions and I needed to start making moves to get up the ladder. It was a rough weekend not because I did that bad its just everyone had Lukaku and he carried their teams and this season its been about one player that has made some fantasy teams really good. It gets really upsetting because you will have more points and then one player goes off and then all the crap talking starts. It gets frustrating, but what can you do. Now on to the first match of the weekend and it is Liverpool vs Everton. Now both teams are going through some injury issues with some key players, but over all this is going to be a great Darby. If you were to pick up any players I would suggest Lukaku for Everton and for Liverpool it is really hard, but I would have to say Mane. Next match is Spurs vs Burnley and honestly I would suggest you play any players you have on spurs because Spurs are the better team for sure and have the better talent. Once again be careful because Spurs do not have Kane and Burnley is a good team at home so it might be something to take into consideration. On to the next CP against Chelsea and once again if you have any Chelsea players you need to play them. This looks like a great match for them and for fantasy owners. Next match we have Hull against West Ham and we can just skip this on lol. Next we have Leicester vs against Stoke and this is an interesting match. Leicester does have Vardy which has been doing well lately and stoke does have joe allen. So each one of them are good options, but I personally would not take the risk. Next we have WBA and Man U and honestly I do not plan to pick up any players from either team. Now I do have McAuley for WBA, but its against Man U and even though Ibra is out they are still a good team. You may also want to take a note that both teams are struggling to play well lately. So its a little of a risk to choose a player from either team. Next match Watford vs Sunderland and there is only one name that comes to mind and that i Defoe. He is cheap and is one of the best scorers in the league this year. Last match on Saturday is Bournemouth vs Southampton and honestly the King has been playing for Bournemouth and how cheap he is there is no reason not to pick him up. You can pick him up and he has been doing very well over the past 6 game weeks and might be a player to consider I did it. Sunday we have Swansea vs Middlesbrough which only one player comes to mind and it Gylfi on Swansea and thats is really it. Deeney has been scoring but it has been against himself honestly. Lastly to round out the game week is Arsenal against Man City. This might be a match to just sit back and enjoy because both teams are struggling a little and need the wins to stay in the top. If you have Sanchez play him or anyone on Man City play them because I think this match is going to be a shoot out. Well that rounds out my game week predictions and once again thank you for all the support. As always GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!!!!

So the next week starts up and I am hoping for some good players to bring me good points. I really badly need some points to get back in my league. Right now I am having a huge run of bad luck and I am honestly praying that this weekend my luck can turn around. Well without futher discussion lets begin with the first matchup Man U vs. Bournemouth. The only thing I will say in this match is if you have a Man U player play him, but I would definely not go out of my way to pick anyone up. Ibra is still a good pick he will get you some points guarenteed, but the cost of Ibra is waaaaaaaaaaay to much and personally I will not be willing to pay it. Another good pick might be to pick up De Gea in the wayyy back. Bournemouth are coming off of a lose and are not looking their best so if you want to play for the shutout this match has a very good possiblilty of getting those extra 6 points. Once again it is a huge gamble if your willing to take it (take the gamble, seriously do it). Now moving on to the FUCKING SHIT BALLS Leicester city vs Hull. God I hope that Hull destroy Leicester in every way possible. As far as fantasy goes, I would not even think of picking up anyone on any team and I am just salty that Leicester beat Liverpool so I am angry. Moving on to more important matchups we have stoke vs Middlesbrough. I honestly did not mean to say more important because this match is just as useless, but if your willing to take a risk Joe allen is a good pick up he had a really good week two weeks ago, but once again a gamble. The is also the seasoned Peter Crouch that possibly give you some points, but once again an even larger risk. Next we have Burnley vs Swansea and this match could possible be a sleeper for fantasy. Gilfi on Swansea has been playing amazing and really showing himself as a dyanamic player, but personally me and him have a love hate realtionship. Every time I have him on my team he does absolutely nothing, but once I dropped him he goes crazy so persionally I will not be picking him up, but it could be a good fantasy option. Gilfi is involved on everything that Swansea do and should really get some good points in this match. On the other side of the pitch we have Heaton in the back and he is cheap and gets good points. He is the top of goalies in points and against a swansea team he could be putting up a lot of saves, I doubt he will get a shutout, but definelty putting up some major points in saves.
So now that things seem to be taking off and the new year has kicked now we get into the time of the season where there are going to be a lot of interesting picks. Now a lot of people have a good amount of Chelsea players and that is really good to have, but due to the lack of form of many top teams this previous week you might see a lot of star players dropped from teams. As a fantasy owner this might be the time of the year where fixtures are going to play a more important role then the form of the individual players. As we go down the list of players that are playing well, but the overall team really seems to be struggling we can start with Arsenal. They play Hull this weekend and on paper with players like Sanchez, Giroud, and Ozil it may look like not only an easy win, but a feeding frenzy for the Arsenal squad. If we look at the entire picture this match up is still pretty good I would still keep Giroud and Sanchez, but fantasy managers be cautious because Arsenal does have the chance to really let you down along with its players. This team really has been in form and then completely horrible at the same time. Now Hull coming off a huge win from the previous week are going to try and recreate that magic, but I don't feel a need to pick up any of there players. Watford and Man U is the next match and I am completely against choosing players on Man U, but if you had to choose a good solid pickup and not to expensive is Mkhitaryan. I mean if you still have Ibra you might as well keep him out there and he did score last week, but I would not go out of my way to pick up Man U players. On the other hand Watford once again are to unpredictable to choose a player, but you could always choose Deeney if your feeling lucky and I mean really lucky lol. Moving on because I don't want to get distracted to much we have Everton and Middlesbrough. This is a good match and it seems like Everton have been playing a lot better which sucks lol. A lot of managers are picking up Lukaku for this match and I do agree with them, but I feel like there is a better pick up in this match and I suggest Coleman in defense. If you looked at some of the goals that Lukaku or anyone scored you will notice that coleman was somewhere in the area. Most of the crosses come in through him as well and he is really the only pushing force from the back that Everton really have. On Middlesbrough you could always pick up Negrado if you are really desperate and are hustling on the streets for some points. Next Crystal Palace and Stoke this is an interesting match because both teams really need to bounce back especially CP. So you might want to pick up Benteke, but I would not go crazy on picking up players from either team honestly. Moving on we got Southampton and Sunderland and honestly there is really only one name to take about and that is Defoe. He is one of the cheapest and honestly the best pickup for either team. Next we have WBA and West Ham and both teams have been holding on as of late with WBA being more consistent. On West Han you could get Andy Carroll, but he might not be 100% healthy or you could go for Antonio. On WBA I think this team is just waiting to break out, but once again I am a man of risks not going to lie. I have rondon and phillips still and in my head every week I struggle at dropping either one because 1. the match's are to good and 2. they are involved on everything that this team does no matter what for the most part. Moving on we have LIVERPOOL and tiny tottenham and in this match its going to be very interesting to pick up anyone because both teams really have not been playing amazing. Liverpool have really been struggling with their confidence on the pitch and tottenham have been struggling putting a large amount of goals in. Now I understand Kane got a hat trick two weeks ago, but doing that once every few weeks is not consistency and for how much he costs might not be the best decision. People have been dropping lallana and Allie from their fantasy leagues, which makes a lot of sense because they both have not been to impressive, but if I were to say anybody from either squad I would say Mane. I would choose Mane because he has been a serious threat and has been consistently playing really well. On Sunday we start the morning with Chelsea against Burnley and honestly this should be a no brainer. If you have anyone on chelsea you should play them or try and buy some if you can afford them because the prices of these players are rising and rising fast after every week. Leicester and Swansea comes on right after and once again only one player I see as getting points and being a good decision and that is Sigurdsson. No more has to be said about that match so moving on to the last match of which is on Monday we have Man city and Bournemouth. Man city have a really good chance to get a lot of points and could be really great for fantasy owners. Honestly a lot of people have bought Jesus and it looks really promising, but I prefer Sterling in this matchup because he is the consistent threat throughout the match. Once again thank you for the support and as always GO LIVERPOOL!!!!
Ohh so the new year brings a lot of good promise even thought its going to be a long season to catch up on. So far in the new year I have officially moved up a position in my league and have been scoring well over the previous few weeks. This weekend os going to be a little challenge because I have to make quite a few changes to my squad and I am not 100 percent sure where to make them. Fantasy this year has been really interesting especially when it comes to picking the right player for the right week. Now some consistent forwards to look at have been Costa, Defoe, and Ibra (as of lately), but I feel like the bigger picks have been in mid-field. I am going to try a new experiment in the new season I am going to concentrate on putting together a strong mid-field and a decent remaining squad. It make take a few moves and I might have to take a hit in some positions, but I think it might be the way to go because you get the most points out of your mid-field players. Another thing that I have noticed is a lot of people not playing defenders and having a more top heavy team which, has been paying off in their favor for this season at least. Now what a lot of these teams are doing are playing the more consistent players that score goes and taking hits on defense, because as long as the team does not get destroyed defenders will at least get some points for many things and if your lucky you can get a shut out and score some pints especially when teams from the bottom of the table player against each other. Now this season has been a really struggle, but I feel like I might have some things turn in my favor and I think I am finally making some good decisions, but I say this and then by the next blog I am yelling and complaining. One of my picks for this week was I picked up sterling. Now a lot of people are not thinking of picking him up because he has been really quiet so far, but on the Man city squad (which really did poorly last week) he is the only one that I do not have to say a kidney to get. They have not been playing well so it is a little risky, but they are going against Everton (another team trying to find their feet). So, I see sterling doing well in this match because a lot of focus will be on other players he might get the opportunity to sneak in on the line with his pace and control. Now the tottenham match is a little tricky because I kept Eriksen and Walker on my squad against WBA, since tottenham have been playing well, but I also kept my WBA players. I have Rondon and McAuley from WBA, but I will not be playing them in this match because it is a horrible matchup, but in the next few matches they have a good run of matches against lower table teams and it could really pay off. So, I plan on bitting the bullet and take the hit because it is a long season and I still have a small chance to move up. On bournemouth I decided to drop my defenders for this squad because even though at times the do get assists or goals they still let in a good amount of goals which tends to lower their overall value in my eyes. Daniels has been on a serious run as of late but I have a feeling he is going to die out and a lot of teams may regret choosing this player. The sunderland match if you do not have Defoe on your team then I have no idea what you are doing. He is cheap and gets the goals even when they are losing horribly he still finds a way to get goals. Once again Arsenal have a good matchup and based on the scare from last week I expect the Arsenal are going to come back into this match and destroy Swansea. So, if you have any Arsenal players (Sanchez) you have to play them and consider captaining them as well. The same thing goes with any Chelsea players you have, they have a good matchup against Leicester. Leicester even at full strength were decent at best and now that Mahrez is not going to be playing for a while I do not see them even having a chance in this match. Last matchup is a tough one because Liverpool do not have mane but might have Coutinho for the match which will help in the midfield, but Ibra on man united has been playing really well and Liverpool have been struggling at stoping goals so it might be something to consider. Once again thank you for the support and sorry its been awhile since the last blog. As always good luck in fantasy and GO LIVERPOOL!!!
Well this past weekend brought something up to my attention that I believe should be discussed because its different view points to the fantasy process. Now that the season has been moving right along and teams are finally playing really well or not so well based on the team chemistry. Some teams it has worked out amazing and some teams have struggled looking for that match that will get them back into the swing of this. Based on this past weekend a question came into my head that I just wanted to go over in this blog. The question is "Is it better to be consistent with your points or hope for a break out week by playing the good matchups". In my league I have been consistent week in and week out usually getting either second or third in point in my league, but slowly making my way up the list, but like I said slowly (very slowly). Whereas a few people in my league decided to take huge gambles on the good matchups and it paid off a lot. At first I thought nothing of this, but when I watched the top team in the league I noticed that he always played the good matchups and never really kept a consistent team as well as took multiple point hits every week, but it has paid off at least this year. Now you do have your consistent players such as Hazard, Costa, Coutino (injured), Aguero (out red card), and Sanchez, but its almost like if they do not have a good matchup you should seel the player and take the risk with other players that have a better matchup. Now I know some people reading this are like "that is how you have to play" but based on how last year went you did not have to make many adjustments maybe to an injured player or to a defender because of the matchups. I am a consistent player I keep certain players no matter what the matchup is because of his form on the pitch, but this week I decided to go for the matchup or fixture. Once again I usually take a few point hits here and there, but I hardly ever choose players based on fixture so this is going to be an interesting weekend. Now the idea is keeping Spurs players such as Kane, Eriksen, walker, and Son or should you drop the players and look for a better matchup because they play Man U this weekend. Now Man U has been really struggling they have been in horrible form and usually I would keep the players that I had from Spurs, but I decided to drop these players. Now I would keep Eriksen if you have him still, but all the other players I would drop because of the fixture. Even though Man U has been horrible, but they show small signs of hope from time to time and this might be the match that they decide to play well. Man U needs the will more than Spurs do so expect them to come out pressuring right crazy and Spurs usally always come out strong, but slow down over time. Now if you move on to the Arsenal matchup you grab any Arsenal player that you can get your hands on. Sanchez had a hat truck last week and I can see him having another one this week against a struggling Stoke squad that needs all the help that they can get. Benteke might be another pick to get because of the matchup even though he has his good and bad matches, but based on fixture he is almost a must. The sunderland matchup I am betting a lot on this matchup against Swansea. Defoe is a solid player and Sunderland have been playing a lot better. Now Both teams need the win and badly, but I think Sunderland has been the better squad and has a solid striker that can cause havoc for Swansea. If we move on to the Liverpool or Chelsea match these are two matches that you need to pick up any players on either one of these squads. Chelsea has been in great form and they have a good mathcup against WBA even though there defense has done well. I am sitting McAuley this weekend which is owned by almost 30% of people playing fantasy, but once again the matchup is not in favor of him, but I do know some people that are still going to play him because he does get points consistently. On Liverpool they are going to be hungry based on how the outcome of last weeks match went. I epect Liverpool to go on a tear and score a lot of goals they might let one in but I expect it to be a goal frenze. The last big player that I have picked up is Iheanacho on Man City. Now that Aguero is out because of his Karate kick on Luiz, this gives a great opportunity for Iheanacho to come in and score alot of points. He has done well in the past when Aguero was out and this is a great chance to get a lot of points for a cheap player. The other matchups are going to be good matches to watch, but I would not pick up anyone on those sqauds becuase there are better matchups and these tems might have been struggling alot over the past few weeks. Like Everton or Watford its tough especially since this teams have been struggling so I will not be playing any players on either squad. Once again everyone have a good fantasy weekend and GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!
Ohh its been a while since I have wrote something new because of the holiday season. I went on a little vacation and have not been able to write a post in a while, but now I am back in action. Now looking at the upcoming matchups we can see that there are some good matches for fantasy and some good matches just to watch as a soccer fan. There are also players that have been in form the entire season, but have come up short the past few weeeks as well and a lot going on in the fantasy world. As a fantasy fan there are a few really good matchups that you might want to consider going into this weekend such as Liverpool vs Bournemouth, Spurs vs Swansea, and Arsenal vs WestHam. These matchups have the possibility of being amazing matchups scoring a significant amount of points for fantasy owners. If we look at the first matchup against Liverpool, now I know a lot of people have liverpool players, but the Liverpool squad currently is going through some injuries. Coutino is out until who knows when, Firmino is questionable with the calf injury he got during the last few minutes of the match, and Lallana is stil questionable as well. Thats just the starting line up because you still have sturridge that is injured as well from the international break even though he never really played. So if your loooking at players Mane is still there, but you might want to consider other player like Origi, which scored the winning goal in the last match and has been on a two game goal scoring drive. Next match is spurs and this is a good game for the spurs to bounce back and start getting some of ther form back. Coming after there lose from last week this matchup gives them a lot of chances to get back into shape. This team has been strugglin, but I still feel Kane would be a good pickup in this match if you want to take the chance. I understand he is still very expensive, but this might be the match he scores a lot of points. Another player you might want to consider is Eriksen on spurs. I know he does not score much, but he is involved on every play and he did score a whopper of a goal against Chelsea last week. He also takes the free kicks and corners almost everytime so you have greater opportunity to get points. Last great matchop is with Arsenal and this year Arsenal have been doing well and players have been scoring. Giroud has been scoring, but he has not been starting so that is very frustrating. If you were to picj someone up from this match I would say Theo Walcott. He has been playing well and it seems like this year he feels a lot more comfortable and not making as many carless errors. Now defensively you might want to consider Monreal since Belerin is still out with an injury. In the spurs and liverpool match I would not pick up defenders because both teams tend to let in a goal throughout the match. Now if we move on to the good matches to watch the first one on the list is Man city and Chelsea. Now I know a lotof people have Aguero and Costa on the squads and are thinking about do I play them or not and the answer is YES. You have to play these players Man city really has not kept a clean sheet in a while and even almost lost to Burnley and on Chelsea's end of the pitch they always tend to let in goals against quality squads. They have let in 2 against liverpool, 3 against arsenal, and only one against spurs and besides these teams Chelsea more than likely do not get scored on. Now Man city have been on a scoring tear as of late and seem to be putting a lot of pressure on squads. The bigger question is do you pickup hazard and in my opinion I would not. He does not do anything in big matchups. In all three of those matches that I just said he did not do anything and even in the Man U match he scored the third goal the Man U team was already being destroyed so I would not pick up Hazard my opinion. Next we have Everton vs Man U and in this match full of great players it very hard for me to say to not pick up anyone. Lukaku has gone ice cold and Man U are just trying to keep themselves relevant in the hunt for the title. Moving on to the other matchups that you can steal a few points from and first we have Southampton vs CP. People you might want to consider Austin and Van Dijk from southampton and Benteke from CP, but Van Dijk will be watching Benteke so that is a matchup to watch out for. Next we have Burnley and Stoke and the only player I would even consider is Joe Allen. He is coming back after his one match suspension and can really do well against a burnley sqaud that is inconsistent. Leicester vs Sunderland is the next matchup and both teams its really challenging on who exactly to pick up. If I were to choose a player that has the best chance of coring I would say pick up Defoe he is still cheap enough and he is in the top 5 point scoring forwards in the league. Everyone on Leicester is so inconsistent that its hard to decide unless you want to take a risk. Watford vs WBA is next on the list and this macthup is very interesting because WBA play all defensive so you might want to pick up McAuley in defense for WBA because Watford have been struggling to score as of late. Now having said that I do believe Deeney might have a good match, but once again this is a gamble and I am really gambling here because he has been struggling as of late. Last match Hull vs Middlesbrough might be interesting becasue you might want to pick up some really cheap players from either squad. Snodgrass from Hull has been doing well and this match may show of his talents and if your looking for a cheap player this might be it. On middlesbrough you might want to consider Negrado, but last week was probably just luck, but you never know. Once again I want to thank you for reading and taking my thoughts into consideration during fantasy. Have a great Fantasy weekend and as always GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!!
So this weekend was a great fantasy weekend for everyone especially me (well at least I thought). After Saturday I was so happy because I was making gains on all the teams in front of me on fantasy and a lot of my friends squads were struggling. Then Sunday happened and poo pooed all over my fantastic weekend of fantasy. I went from having the best weekend one day to having the second worst weekend by the end of the weekend, but hey what can you do. I should listen to my own advice that I give others more often because A lot of the things I say end up coming true. Well moving on this weekend has a lot of promise in it and I am looking forward to making moves up the fantasy ladder. First matchup is Bournemouth against Sunderland and honestly I do not see picking up anyone except for Defoe. Man I give this guy a lot of credit man for being on a struggling squad and still in the top five of fantasy points for forwards in the league. He even still costs less than 8 million and for the past two seasons really haas been at the top of the league. On Bournemouth I would say pick up defenders because they are really the only ones that are consistent and Sunderland not a very strong squad. The next match we can just skip Crystal Palace and Burnley. This match I probably will be watching, but I do not see the point of picking up any players from either squad. There was a time I would might have chosen Benteke, but have his lackluster weeks I would not even sneeze in his direction. He went from being talked about to literally have no existence on the pitch. Now Burnley is a good team for him to bounce back against, but I do not see it since Burnley like to park the bus and wait. Moving on to Man city against Middlesbrough. PICK UP AGUERO!!!!!!! If you do not have him by now you need to get him. He scored two goals last week and had an assist. If you captained him you got 32 points just from him and that is an insane amount of points. There are others players on the team to consider, but Aguero just stands out above them all. As we move down to the next match we have Stoke against West Ham. Now I have Antonio on my team and I can't really get rid of him this week because I have to adjust other players around first, but this weekend might be a good matchup for him. Stoke are finding there form, but still struggling and West Ham are really trying to do anything to get a win. Having said that I would like to move on to the player that has needs to be talked about and that is Joe Allen. Over the past 5 weeks he has averaged 9.4 points a game and has been the most dynamic player for Stoke. Allen is also only 5.2 million and ranks in the top 6 of midfielders and with a great matchup against a disastrous West Ham squad only looks promising. Everton and Chelsea is a huge matchup against giants and in this match I would only consider three players and they are Costa, Lukaku, and Hazard. Why only these three when there is so much talent on the pitch. Well because this game is hard to decided which side is walking away with the 3 points so I would only choose the three most consistent players on the pitch that could possibly change the outcome of the match. Moving on to the biggest match of the weekend and that is Spurs against Arsenal. If you are going to pick up any players from this match I highly recommend players from Arsenal. I am not saying this to bash Tottenham, but Tottenham has been struggling as of late scoring goals as well as keeping clean sheets. Now I understand that Tottenham have not lost this season, but that means nothing for fantasy. I just do not see any players on Tottenham that have stepped up in place of an injured Harry Kane and I said this last week in the Blog so I am just repeating myself again for good measure. Southampton and Hull city is the next match on the list and honestly I would not pick up any players from either squad, but if you really want to you can pick up either Redmond (risky) or Austin (better pick). Next up is the Liverpool match and I stand by the same three picks you either pick up Firmino, Mane, or Coutino. Now I understand that some people might consider Milner and Lallana, but when you look at chances those three will be the best opportunity to get points. Next is the Man U squad which I don't even know anymore because of how horrendous they have been as of lately. Nobody on the squad has been impressive and its extremely upsetting to see. Now I do have Ibra still on my team (why?!?!?!?!) I was hopping for something to happen and I might even consider not trading him yet, but I am really at a cross roads with this. I have dealt with all this disappointment up to now its almost weird to get rid of him when there is such a good matchup, but Man U has been garbage so I am probably getting rid of him. Last match West Brom and Leicester and honestly I would not consider picking up anyone because WBA has not been keeping clean sheets and Leicester are a gamble at best on who is going to score or get any points. Once again I want to Thank you for the support and please leave a comment I would love to hear from you. As always have a great fantasy weekend and GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!
So some of you may or may not know depending if you listened to the podcast or not I was out of internet for an entire week. Every single day throughout the week I was consistently on the phone with the company and it honestly did not matter they made me wait an entire week before someone showed up and spent ten minutes to fix it. Well now, that situation is over I can now begin on my weekly Fantasy addiction and give my readers some prospective based on the primer league. Now thank god last weekend is over because of the snore feast in goals from this previous weekend and hopping that this new weekend brings a lot more goals to all my players. Now some questions are being asked of players as of lately and some unknown players are really starting to come into the light and might steal the show for a lot less money. This weekend Arsenal have another great matchup for them and honestly after the embarrassment from last week where they tied, I can honestly say I see Arsenal destroying sunderland. Arsenal are doing everything in there power to stay on top of the league so I see them coming out in this match and just making sunderland cry. So honestly if you have any Arsenal players play them and if you can afford any Arsenal players get them. Now you could pick up Defoe if you want because he is third in the league in points, but for the past three weeks he has been cold. He might have a break out game and put Arsenal on the ropes, but I don't see that happening. The match I really want to talk about is Man U against Burnley. Now I know what everyone is thinking why am I concerned with this match and we already know who is going to win. Well one reason is because I made a bet with my fellow podcasters about captaining Ibra and second I am not sure I should have done that lol. Based on what I literally just said a few sentences ago Ibra is due for a break out match. Just like Defoe he has been cold for a while now (4 weeks) and has a really great matchup here. If you still have Ibra I would keep him for this week because Man U is going to play this match like its their last because based on how embarrassing their last match was (4-0 loss to Chelsea). If you have Ibra keep him, but I would not adjust my team to get him, but if he poops the bed again this week then CUT HIS ASS!!!!!! Bournemouth have a pretty good matchup and if they decide to attack, attack, attack, and attack they could really do some damage against Middlesbrough. Now if there was any player that I will be watching in this match it is no one on Bournemouth, but actually Adama Traore. Against Arsenal he was very impressive and yes I know Bournemouth have Wilson, King, Daniels, and Smith and honestly picking up a defender off Bournemouth would be a good pick, but I will be watching Adama in this match. Moving on to the Spurs match, its very hard to choose someone on spurs that is going to be amazing since Kane is out still I don't know who is going to step up and take control. At first I thought it was going to be Allie, but nope. Then I thought well maybe Eriksen, once again nope. Lastly, I thought he Son will do it he has been in great form and once again nope. Now taking into consideration Son has been not playing in some matches I can understand, but that is coaches error. Why do you sit a guy that has been your only scoring threat since Kane is out, he even scored over international break. He is involved on every play and last week they tied he only played 61 minutes and the week before that only 19. In the four matches that he played 80 minutes or more he averaged 17.5 points over the duration of those 4 matches THAT IS INSANE!!!!! So how does the coach reward him cutting his minutes to almost nothing. After saying all this I do believe Son is going to play this weekend and as you can probably read I have him on my team and will more than likely roll the dice on him this week as well. Watford match I still am on the Deeney train and the Capoue train, but if I do not see anything this week especially against a struggling Hull city team, I might have to kick both of them off my team for sure. Man city might have a very interesting line up going into this match. Aguero is a guy that is going to play, but he has not been getting the points to match his value. I understand he is still in the top 5, but if you look at the other players in the top 5 he is so much more money. You can also look at it like this he is only 1 point ahead of Austin, but he costs almost 7 million more THATS CRAZY!!!! Now Iheanacho on Man city has been really impressive and if you cannot afford Aguero this guy you want to pick up. He is only 4 points behind Aguero and cost a little more than 6 million dollars less. I would highly recommend picking this guy up if you cannot afford Aguero or even if you can afford Aguero still pick up this guy. The Liverpool match I have three names for you Firmino, Mane, and Coutino. These three guys have been on fire and they play with each other so well. I get it some people might say well what about Lallana or Milner and yes I think they will get good points and Milner currently has more points, but these three players play every match and are more likely to get points over Milner. Now Milner has been awesome this season and I am really happy to see that GO LIVERPOOL!!!!. Moving on Everton match you might want to pick up Lukaku, but I think Bolasie would be the better pick up. I know Lukaku is having a great year, but Bolasie does everything on the pitch and its only a matter of time before things start to click for him. West ham you got Payet and that is even questionable because of West hams form. Onto the Chelsea match I would pick up Costa because he has been the player that has been the most consistent on the team and really has been in really aggravating good form. Now you could risk it on others players, but this is honestly the best pick. If you do not have the money to afford any Chelsea players then go for Austin on Southampton. He might be able to get through the Chelsea defense and create some havoc. Lasly, we got Stoke or Swansea and honestly both teams are rough, but Joe Allen has been in great form and a little bird told me that he is going to score this weekend. Once again I want to thank you for reading and supporting me and my horrible grammar lol. Thank you all for the love, good luck on your fantasies and as always GO LIVERPOOL!!!!!!
So after a two week break from the league its good to see it pick back up again. I understand international break is always exciting to watch, but something about how competitive the league just brings an added thrill and if you are a fantasy or betting man the league brings to much excitement sometimes. Now in the upcoming week there are some really good matches and some matches that will allow you to move up in any league. The first one I want to talk about is the Chelsea match against Leicester. This match looks like it might be a good matchup, but as far as fantasy is concerned it might be a boring matchup. If you have Costa I still highly recommend you keep him and play him, because Leicester City really have not been stopping goals and Costa has been a goal scoring machine. I personally would not drop anyone on my tea to go out of my way to pick up anyone from this match even though Costa would be a great pick he is still a large amount of money and you can get a cheaper forward with a better matchup this week. Next match, Arsenal and they have an amazing matchup against a struggling Swansea team and if you want to get some players this is the dream matchup honestly. There is still one tiny issue and that is money, everyone on the Arsenal team is expensive so if you already have players I would definitely not drop them, but once again I would not try to destroy my team to pick them up. I understand most people reading this that play fantasy would disagree with me and I know a lot of people making a bunch of changes to try and put more Arsenal players on there squad, but I do not believe it would be the best decision. Now if you are going to try for a defender (which would be a solid decision) that is a possibility, even though Sanchez has been scoring there are still cheaper options, but Sanchez would be the player I would want. Next if I look at the Bournamouth matchup. I would really think very long and hard whether to choose any players because they have been struggling. I did recommend King up top, but he has not put up major points, or smith in the back as possibilities. Now on Hull there is Snodgrass which everyone has been staling points based on this player. Well not really stealing, more like riding the Snodgrass train and once again I know a lot of people that have him expecting him to have a solid performance since he has not in the past matches, but I do not expect anything from him. Next match Man city vs Everton which is going to be interesting and honestly there are a ton of people to pick up, but you need a lot of money for any player that might be of interest. If you have any of these players from either squad I would play them, but I would not kill my squad to try and pick up any of these players (to much money for a possible disappointing result). Stoke vs Sunderland this match there is only one man that we need to speak of and his name is Defoe. He is still really cheap and is possible the most consistent striker on a disappointing squad. The funny thing is Sunderland is at the bottom of the table, but Defoe is still in the top four of strikers (thats is crazy). In the spurs match I would choose Son, he has been in good form and has looked good especially since Kane is still injured. No need to talk anymore about that match because I don't think spurs have been too impressive this year, but they are still doing well. Crystal palace and West ham this is an interesting one because both team are struggling and this could be very favorable for a lot of players. There is Benteke, Antonio, and Payet which could all have amazing points because both teams are really unimpressive. Now I understand that a lot of people think Antonio has lost his goal scoring form, but I think this week there could be a difference. The Watford matchup I would highly VERY HIGHLY recommend Deeney. Even though Capoue has more overall points, Deeney is the main focus of that entire squad. I am not going to keep going over this player because I do it every single week. Southampton and Burnley I would not choose anyone unless you are in need for something or anything and do not have much money. I also would not get any defenders in this match DEFINITELY NOT. Lastly we have the game of games Liverpool vs Man shit united. This match for Liverpool I would recommend Mane, Firmino, or Coutino, but I would not recommend any defender since Liverpool have let in the most goals in the top ten which is crazy. On Man shit I would choose Ibra like always just because everything goes through this player so he might not score, but he will get the assist so he will get points. Once again I want to thank you for the support and thank you for reading. Please feel free to comment and I will be more than happy to respond. Like always good fantasy weekend and GO LIVERPOOL!!!!
This previous weekend was my best weekend yet and still I am not doing well. Even though I had one of the best weekends I am still in last place. I should really listen to my own advice sometimes and possibly I would be doing a lot better. Now this upcoming weekend there is not really any crazy out of the norm picks like I still believe that picking up Ibra has to be a must this weekend especially since they are going against a rough Stoke squad even though they got a tie last weekend it still does not matter that Stoke have some major issues that need to be addressed. Liverpool also has a favorable matchup, but with Liverpool its a little difficult trying to figure out which player is going to start because of the depth that they have. I mean Sturridge did not start last match, but may start this match because they do not have any mid week matches. Then what if Klopp decides to sit Coutino and play Lallana (who has been on fire), Firmino (on fire), Sturridge, and Mane(on fire) especially with all that pace that each player does bring to the pitch its not unlikely. If I were going to pick a consistent pick I would say Mane, but if I was a betting man (which I am) I would say to pick up Lallana because he is cheap and could get you some really good points as well as not many people have him on their squads. I would still stay with my two picks for Watford, just because they had an off game the previous match they still can come back and put up some really good numbers. Remeber this is the team that put Man U on the ropes, but if they give another poor performance I might think of dropping one or the other to fill in the missing points. Once again on Everton I would say to pick up Bolasie because he has a favorable match and he is cheap. Yes I know Lukaku is the more consistent pick, but I think Bolasie is actually the more consistent pick and I believe in the later matches he is going to a killer pick for fantasy. Looking at other picks I chose from last week, Costa might be at the top of the list since they have a good matchup against Hull. Now Chelsea have been struggling defensively and Hull got destroyed last week so I would not recommend picking up any defenders, but offensive players will be key. Hazard might be an important pick, but once again Hazard and Costa are expensive and if you don't have them now I do not suggest picking them up right away. This week there is one match that looks very promising and that is Arsenal and honestly if you pick up anyone from Arsenal you have a very good chance of getting some major points. I will say that Sanchez is a great pick and Ozil is as well, but once again if you do not have the money to afford them it can be very difficult. Walcott or Cazorla are cheaper options and have been consistently better this season then Ozil. I would also look into picking up defenders from Arsenal because of a huge chance for a shutout. Now the big matchup Man city and Tottenham its very challenging trying to figure out who to pick up in this match since both team do not necessarily have the greatest defense, but have been doing well at scoring goals. Now I understand Kane is out, but if you have any players from either team at least offensively I believe you should play them. If you have anyone from Man City I would recommend you play them because players like Aguero and Sterling have been putting up huge numbers and its almost a crime to not play them. This week I decided to keep it short and sweet because I did not see a huge difference in players I was thinking of picking up so I did not want to bore with the same information. Once again thank you for the support and as always GO LIVERPOOL!!!!
