A new feature when i just give you a few thoughts on the main fantasy premier league stories of the day. Ill try and do it for most days up until the 18th
Pre -season games
Swansea 4 – 2 over Blackpool
Graham scores 3 michu the other. Good signs for the midfielder who I think will appear in my team. Graham is interesting though at £6.0m and a good start for Swansea will bring him in to peoples reckoning. A hat trick is impressive. There are better alternatives for me in fantasy premier league though.
De Guzman and Britton start. One wont when Allen is back. Goal for Michu. Chico starts at the back which was predictable. Dyer got 2 assists. Im sticking with Michu for my fantasy premier league team though.
MK Dons 0 fulham 1
Rodallega got the winner but it was a nothing team. Kelly played so be wary if you want this £4.5 entry to the fulham team. Riether is looking a threat
Hull 0 Norwich 0
Another clean sheet! Turner over Barnett. Tierny starts and is the best bet, he’s becoming a real £4.0m possible.
Cheapie mid Fox doesnt play. Stay away in fantasy premier league at the moment.
Brighton 1 Reading 1
Mariappa alert. doesnt play. Cummings Gorkks Pearce and Harte play. Cummings and Gorkks are £4.0. Gunter is still an issue for Cummings as is Mariappa for Gorkks. Monitor
Guthrie plays the full 90. Robson -kanu plays and scores and becomes maybe another £4.5m option in fantasy premier league
walsall 1 WBA 3
£5.0m El Ghanassy was the standout player with a goal and assist. nothing to be gained from the rest of the team
Yeovil 1 stoke 1
Begovic started in the battle of the £4.5m goal keepers. Don’t jump for either him or Sorenson yet.
No clearer on the RB front as a trialist takes the position. Huth has suspected meningitis. this leaves the possibilty of £4.5m Upson taking his place although at the moment stoke are saying he could be back in 2 weeks.
Other news
Moura signs for PSG which means at least its not 4 in to 2 on the Man u flanks
Carzola signs for Arsenal. No price as yet. The best outcome would be a central position in the 3 of 4-2-3-1 although Arsenals difficult start means I’m staying well away which will at least give some time for us to size them up.
Kightly signs for Stoke – dont see this as earth shattering. I still see etherington lining up on the left although this may effect Pennant.
Fletcher for Sunderland – not done but interesting given Sunderland have good starting fixtures. Will all depend on price but cant help feeling there will be better options around
Hope that provides some insight
