The International break is over and ‘real’ football is back!
And that means another matchup in the IEFSA Fantasy League. Last time out,
thanks to a Scott Sinclair brace, I toppled high flying @nikarg. This week my
team faces 1 and 3 @GalinDragiev. I might be higher up the table than him, but I’ve
scored fewer points over the first four weeks of the season. @GalinDragiev has
scored the third most points in the league and has had a tough opening run of
fixtures. He is also off the back of a loss last week. A very dangerous opponent.
@GalinDragiev’s Team
A lot of attacking talent here with players who have pulled
in a lot of points in the opening few game weeks. His star man has been
Leicester’s Mahrez, but he has been ably supported points-wise by Okazaki,
Sterling, Sanchez and Kouyate.
His Achilles heel is probably the goalkeeping position.
Pantilimon is not a bad keeper, but Sunderland are not a good team, they are
struggling to keep clean sheets and he hasn’t been pulling in the saves (19
saves to 10 goals conceded). This week Sunderland face Spurs, while @GalinDragiev
will have to double up at the back with the Black Cats as Coates will have to
come in for the suspended Whittaker.
What I Need To Happen
I’m still waiting for Man Utd to start playing consistently up
front. Memphis has still to score in the league, While Schweinsteiger has yet
to cement a place in midfield. They play Liverpool this Saturday, and Liverpool
have hardly been setting the league alight, so perhaps this is the week?
 |
| This weekend Memphis, surely, surely........ |
And I may need to Man U players to perform, as looking at
the fixtures a lot of my players have tough away trips, or are facing each
other. Swansea’s Ayew has been a bright spot for me this season, but he travels
to Watford, a Watford side where I have two defenders (hopefully) playing. Ayew
is playing too well to drop out. So I may continue with Sinclair in midfield
and chance Wijnaldum or Gueye in the flex position.
Man Utd not playing
until the evening leaves me with a bit of a selection headache. As well as Newcastle faceing West Ham on
Monday. Do I leave myself with two players to play for that game? Go with only
one? Or try and get all my points in before then?
Predictions
After getting every prediction correct in Week 3, I only
managed two from seven last time out. Ouch! But let’s put that to one side and
see how this weekend fares. @FuzzyWarbles is the only undefeated side, while
@BenDinnery is the last remaining side looking for a win. They face each other
this week, and I’m going to go with form.
@FuzzyWarbles over @BenDinnery
@cjradune over @TomSunderland_
Okay, well I’ve just put the curse on a load of teams for
another week! Remember to follow @THE_IEFSA on twitter to keep up with the weekends
action.
