The second week of the IEFSA Premier League Fantasy Football
is upon us. I put one up early in the win column last time out, but I’m not
going to get carried away just yet. If the schedule had worked against me, I could
have met one of the six other teams who outscored me last weekend. This week I’m facing @DFS_hambazaza
, who is coming off of a defeat. He ran into a Marc Albrighton inspired @nikarg,
and will be doubly determined not to lose again and fall two far behind this
early in the season.
@DFS_hambazaza’s Team
His team will be
looking to welcome back Sergio Aguero upfront. Man City may be facing Chelsea
this weekend, but Aguero is a goal threat against any team. Steven Fletcher
scored this team’s only goal last week and he will be hopeful of more game time
for this weeks match, and will probably be played in the flex position.Only four of @DFS_Hambazaza’s outfielders were starters last weekend and he will hope to arrest this trend by shuffling his pack somewhat. Although he has left himself a bit top heavy, employing no less than five forwards, when at max you can only pencil in two to earn you points. When Trippier breaks into the Spurs side and Bertrand comes back from injury things should even out for him.
In Midfield his main goal threat appears to be Spur’s Nacer Chadli, who host Stoke City this weekend. While in goals he has Southampton’s Maarten Stekelenburg. The Saints kept 11 clean sheets at home last season, including one in a three nil win over Saturdays opponents Everton.
What I Need To Happen
I will be happy as long as my players all start for their
respective clubs. Ayew and Wijnaldum were my goals scorers last weekend, and
they meet each other at three o’clock on Saturday in what will be, fingers crossed, a high scoring
affair. What I hope will be a low scoring game, is the clash of two title
contenders in Man City and Chelsea on Sunday. Not only to prevent Aguero from
getting too many points, but also to enable Begovic to pick up some save
points, or even a clean sheet.
My squad is heavily reliant on Watford and Villa players
again. My two Watford defenders host a wounded West Brom. While of my three
Villa signings, I’m thinking of only leaving in Gueyre in Midfield as they host
Man Utd on Friday night. I’m relying on my big money signing Memphis Depay to
do the business in this game, and depending on team selection I may move Schwiensteiger
onto my starting rostor. If he fails to start again, then Stoke’s Walters will
continue in the flex position.

Lastly, Carl Jenkinson will be brought into to the defence,
as I’m banking on him getting back into the West Ham side for the visit of
Leicester. Impressive youngster Jordan Amavi makes way for Jenkinson’s
inclusion. If Villa do cause an upset on Friday then I could very well be in
deep trouble in this match-up.
Predictions!
Seeing as I managed to get six from seven last week, let’s
keep this prediction ship sailing! (Only a Coutinho wonder strike was my
undoing, but I’m sure @Smokey_Loogy was delighted to see it fly in!)
