Here’s my to do list for the weekend. 10 things I’ll be looking out for in gameweek 35 to help with your fantasy football info
fantasy football info – 10 things I’ll be looking out for in GW35
1. Rooney
Apparently fit to face his old team. Regular readers will know how unreliable I believe the information is coming out of Old Trafford so it will be interesting to see first hand whether he starts and how fit he is, plus how many minutes he gets. He’s an essential figure for GW36 and DGW37
2. Mata
After an indifferent start suddenly we see 31 points in 2 gameweeks as a number 10. Again for GW36 home to Norwich and DGW37 that form makes him look essential. I’ll be keen to see if he keeps his no 10 position and what his set piece contribution is like
3. The Man Utd defence
It would be nice if we had some clue as to how the defence will line up for GW36 and DGW37. The value is in Evans and Smalling so they will be particularly of interest. I hope the only certainty isn’t De Gea but even that selection would make me nervous. Hopefully GW35 away to Everton will be the first choice defence
4. Silva
His fitness firstly(he isn’t supposed to play according to reports). After that its the same unresolved story. Whether he continues to play behind the striker or returns to the flank with 2 strikers playing
5. The City midfield and strikers
Only relevant really if Silva is fit. Otherwise its still an unresolved puzzle about 2 strikers or 1 and the effect on Silvas position and Nasris gametime if he starts to share it with Navas or Milner now Navas seems injured. Also if you haven’t already committed to Aguero then his gametime and form will be of additional interest. He’s yet to get past 60 minutes in the 2 comeback games.
6. Cheapie Villa midfielders
Westwood and El Ahamadi are the 2 main cheapies to look out for in the Villa midfield. If you play 2 cheapie midfielders and are looking for 1 to fill in for 2 games in DGW37 then one of these could be your 4 pointer for that gameweek. Westwoods set piece involvement will be of particular interest.
7. Cheapie WBA midfielders
Same point. If you have 2 cheapie midfielders then WBA have a few options for their DGW37. Set piece involvement of Brunt is one option or the current form of Amalfitano. Add to that the outside chance of Dorrans. We’ll be looking for how they lineup, form and stats
8. Nathan Baker
You maybe looking to raise cash through the sale of perhaps an Everton defender as they have tricky fixtures. The Villa defender Baker at £3.9m gives you money raising possibilities with a DGW37 thrown in. We’ll check on his gametime and form
9. Salah
The £5.5m cheapie seems too good to miss in the Chelsea midfield. He’s ineligible for the Champions league so has to have an excellent chance of starting given the Hazard injury position. We’ll check on his gametime and form
10. Ramsey
Has looked promising since coming back. With some good fixtures we’ll be looking at his gametime, form and stats in the game at Hull
Thats it good luck for the gameweek
