Premier League Gameweek 17 Fantasy Preview

Drogba: He only gets quaternary touches per game, but he translates that into two goals An capricious weekend is behindhand us, and we requirement to countenance ahead to the mid-week games tomorrow. Let's advertisement the action:I. metropolis City @ Tottenham: This is a really elating pairing for neutrals and non-neutrals alike. Both of these teams staleness ease impact the belief (they sure impact spent the cash) to closing in the Top 4. Yet both are on the right hunting in, as Aston revolutionary impact made the strongest case to fortuity up the traditional Champions League places.Both teams frustrated on the weekend and module countenance to snap back. Luka Modric should intend his prototypal move since August for the bag side, backward from a busted leg. He appeared from the governance against Wolves on Saturday. This could limit the vision effectiveness of blackamoor Huddlestone and Niko Kranjcar from set pieces, patch increasing the value of Jermain author if lowercase Luka can thread the needle for the speedy Tottenham striker.Blog chum Craig Bellamy is suspended, having been flushed carded at Bolton, but Carlos Tevez is in superior form and module continue to lead the distinction against Tottenham. Nigel de Jong has the swine contagion - which is a shame, since he looked dumbfounding against Chelsea meet a hebdomad and a half ago, and would impact had a inferno of a time chopping downbound the likes of Modric and Palacios in midfield. Adebayor module be the field threat alongside Tevez - and I conceive digit of those two module encounter the backwards of the net...City are victorious in 13 games in every competitions - a rattling impressive stat - but I don't conceive it stays that artefact for Mark Hughes' men on the agency in London. Harry Redknapp module motivate his boys after the moody expiration at bag to Wolves and come up with the win.Prediction: 2 - 1 TottenhamII. Wolves @ metropolis United: I started the Fantasy Premier League flavour with Serb Nenad Milijas in the endeavor roster - having researched him good in the off-season via YouTube clips, follower communication boards, and press releases. He was scoring at module in the pre-season, and looked a enthusiastic bet to star for Wolves. I did the filthy work, pronounceable the dice, and he flopped. But now, it looks same eventually Milijas is motion discover to be the record language I intellection he could be.Milijas has started the terminal two games for Wolves (both wins!) and has picked up a goal, an assist, and 3 bonus points. He goes for meet 5.3M in the Fantasy Premier League, but I conceive the winning streak, and the Serb's production, takes a slight prevent this hebdomad at Old Trafford.Manchester United looked solidified for daylong stretches in the prototypal half against Aston revolutionary - Wayne Rooney impact the underside of the crossbar but was not at his best otherwise - attractive daylong range shots that were ever high, wide, and not at every handsome. Patrice Evra looked same United's strongest offensive choice and Antonio Valencia continuing with his flashes of brilliance, but revolutionary were likewise organized and pumped up- and squeaked discover the merited 1-0 win.If I were Sir Alex, I'd move with Darron histrion (4.6M) in this one. The youngster has looked superior on the ball and easy along such higher priced and more experienced players in the attack. Perhaps a lowercase bit of young murder in the endeavor 11 module provoke an unmediated response from the senior players after a loss...I expect United to come discover and vex Wolves in a recuperate game. They should stop cacoethes for such longer stretches. Villa's accumulation is such stronger than Wolves' defense. A prototypal half insight and I conceive the crush is on.Prediction: 3 - 0 metropolis United.III. Studs and Duds: My actual aggroup haw be a big unfortunate this year, but my Stud & Dud predictions impact been spot-on, so listen up and take whatever notes. I'm same the Knish of vision sport in that regard - brilliant suggestions and theories, I wager every the angles, but poor execution for myself - I don't impact the stones to endeavor them. Some haw say I'm same Barack Obama. Big talker. But block politics, and let's intend to the studs and duds.Bolton scored 3 against metropolis City, so it's formal the offensive players are studs at bag to West Ham - who don't travel likewise well. Many vision players module choose the affordable Tamir Cohen (4.6M) or past cover Matty Taylor (6.6M) but the player who has caught my eye the most when watching Bolton is actually the South Asiatic Lee Chung-Yong. Lee is meet 5M and I don't undergo if he'll be a permanent fixture in the Bolton endeavor lineup, but I conceive he is a bargain cover if he continues sight 60 + transactions a game. He's my queer feeling. He has whatever silky actuation skills and has looked enthusiastic on the ball. Makes New runs in the box. Look for Lee and Taylor to lead the offensive charge from midfield against West Ham.Other studs are the customary suspects - the strikers Drogba, Torres, and Rooney. All are worthy of the Captain's Armband. All are at bag against vastly base contestant who haven't cosmopolitan substantially (Portsmouth, Wigan, and Wolves respectively). All could score binary goals. You must impact at small digit of those threesome in your side this week.The professional Arshavin continues to affect up face and seems the most likely to benefit from RVP's absence. He institute the backwards of the gain against metropolis and could encounter himself on the score artefact against Burnley. Another broad priced, but sure worth it, cover this weekend.The stud/dud inclose this weekend is filled by Blackburn players as they travel to surprisingly stout Birmingham. Former Funny Feeling Friday Roger President and consort impact been rattling arduous to fortuity downbound at home, and Blackburn module be without king Dunn again, who is injured. city defenders studs, Blackburn attackers duds then? politico and Di Santo impact calibre up front, and staleness modify their drought sooner or later, but module they do it at thickened Birmingham?Duds this hebdomad are Hull, Fulham, Stoke, and Everton players. None of those teams are activity midweek. Bench Zayatte, Hunt, Hangeland, Dempsey, Zamora, Saha, Baines, Sorensen, Shawcross, and every of your another favourite players from these squads.IV. Gameweek 17 Best Eleven:GK: HartD: G. Cahill - P. Evra - IvanovicM: Arshavin - Chung Yong Lee - Milner - Kuyt - LennonF: Rooney - DrogbaSubs: Jaaskelainen - C. theologian - Dann - Nelsen
