Here’s my Barclays fantasy premier league team for game week 16. 1 further transfer made.
I’ve taken a huge risk this week in not putting Sessgenon in my team despite the fact that he will undoubtedly be captained by a lot of people. I agonised over it long and hard. 2 games for Sunderland in the game week and 1 of them home to Reading it really looked like a must do transfer. However I didnt for the following reasons
1. Sessegnons returns, as you will have seen from my captain choice article, have been pretty unreliable
2. I would have had to have taken a 4 point hit to do so
3. Sessegnons fixtures after this week are
Man U A
Sout A
Mcy H
Tott H
Liv A
So you would want to get him out straight away after this game week.
4. Readings defence away against the non elite teams has been as follows (Reading goals against last)
WBA 0-1
Swa 2-2
QPR 1-1
Wig 2-3
Avl 0-1
So apart from the Wigan game it hasn’t been that horrific.
I know I’m going to be a nervous wreck when Sunderlands games are on but in the end I gave Michu the captains armband and used my 2nd transfer to put Robson Kanu in for Britton. I get the advantage of 2 games in game week 16 plus I get a filer who has the potential to score goals in the future which Britton doesnt.
Anyway here’s the full Barclays fantasy premier league team and good luck to all fantasy fooball geeks in fantasy premier league game week 16
- Robson-Kanu
- SOU (A), SUN (A)
- Van Persie
- MCI (A)
- RESERVES
