fantasy premier league Q & A part 3

Preseason

theres more!

Q    Yaya Toure?

 

A    its a tricky one this, i think hes a fantastic player but not for me in Fantasy football. Heres my “journey” with him

1. last year it was just too hard to predict whether he would play as a def mid or an attacking mid
2. pre-season before nasri played he did pre-season as the most advanced player in 3-5-2. My ears pricked up
3. nasri played as the most advanced midfielder in a 3-4-1-2 and although YYT scored it was too deep and shots outside the area for me
4. mancini says he will play 4-4-2

Im back to point 1!

ill be keeping an eye on him because as an attacking midfielder in the city line up at that price he has potential but not for me on opening day

cheers and hope that explains my rationale

 

Q    Hi,

Awesome read. Any feedback would be appreciated.

de Gea (Federici)

Ferdinand (Rio), Clichy, A Cole (Fabio, Mariappa)

VDV, Kagawa, Mata (VC), Allen, Park

Aguero(C), Ba, (Pogrebnyak)

I’m not sure whether Park, and Fabio are good choices, but I figure they should start. Not sure about Ba if he’s injured who to replace with? I was thinking of possibly looking into Podolski but where to trim $1m from?

Thanks in advance.

A  Im for a £4.0m GK as a back up to De Gea see my Q and A part 2 today under pre-season for the long winded rationale Henderson in retrospect is probably best

Mariappa is a risk as ma not play. Go for Gorks or Gunter but thyre by no means certain. No one is in the reading team

Clichy may not play if City are bluffing and play 3-5-2. Lescott is the best bet if you have £6.5m. Im risking Zabaleta as don’t have the funds

I dont think Allen is a good buy. he just lies too deep and wont score or assist enough. you should ave a £4.5m filler I think maybe Britton, he wont get any points apart from the obligatory 2 but will play.

I think there are better purchases than Park he just doesn’t score enough. If you want a QPR player I think Taarabt is a better bet or upgrade to £6.5m Michu, Pienaar Osman or Nzogbia

I would leave Podolski until Arsenals fixtures get better myself

Hope that helps

 

Q  I hear norwich have got a loan for lazio left back Javier Garrido.  what does that mean for tierney?

A  It means we should drop him unfortunately which i will be doing.  Think about Clyne Fonte Demel or maybe Nelsen

 

Q    Any suggestions for my team. I worry for Rooney post RVP transfer and was thinking of saving some money transferring in someone else there (Adebayor, Lambert?) to spend on defence.

GK: De Gea (Rudd)

Def: Mariappa, Fabio, McCartney (Nelsen, Tierney)

Mid: Hazard, Michu, Van der Vart, N’Zogbia (Guthrie)

Att: Torres (c), Aguero, Rooney

Thanks

A    ok, team lets good but here’s some suggestions as food for thought

You’re speaking my language re GK

Mariappa McCartney and Tierney are all a bit risky for various reasons. Think about Gorkks Gunter (although neither are certain) Nelsen Clyne Fonte or Demel or Stevens but its difficult none at that price are nailed on. Fonte and Demel to me are the safest.

cant argue with the midfield

or the forwards. Im sticking with Rooney until I see evidence to go elsewhere. the 3 games from GW2 on are just to good to not have him in

good luck and hope that gives you some ideas
