A Marko Arnautovic goal and an Alberto Moreno clean sheet
helped me achieve the win over @TomSunderland_ just two days ago. That victory
doesn’t move me up any positions in the table, and I still sit in 10th with
nine wins and nine defeats to my name. As I mentioned in my previous post, this
victory was crucial to keep pace with the leaders (is 15pts off top keeping
pace?), as seven of the other teams in the Top 10 had victories also.
But Gameweek 19 offers us a little respite from the pain of
looking at the league table, because this is the first round of the IEFSA Cup.
Last season I lost in the final and I’ll be hoping for a similar run this year,
but hopefully go just one better. With the quick turnaround in matches and my
internet acting up (I live in Japan, it shouldn’t be like this!), this will be
a quick preview.
In the First Round of the cup, I’ve been drawn against………
@DFS_hambazaza’s Team
I beat @DFS_hambazaza in Gameweek 16 thanks largely to
Arnautovic gaining over ten points. His side may sit bottom of IEFSA with only
one win, but his side will surely be up for the cup? Sergio Aguero is due back for Man
City, and he is a player who could win a matchup all on his own if in the mood.
So I’m well aware of the threat that @DFS_hambazaza poses over the next three
days of Premier League fixtures. |

Aguero looks likely to play against Leicester City, if he is kept quiet that would make my life a whole lot easier. I’ve been talking about a number of my players being due a goal or two over the last couple of weeks. So if one or two of them could step up for their respective clubs this Monday that would be great. I’m looking at you, Ayew, Wijnaldum and, dear oh dear…. Memphis Depay.
Looking further ahead, and the need to get a full squad of
players playing week in week out, I’ll be looking to aquire another defender of
the free agent list. Carl Jenkinson may have gotten 45 minutes for West Ham
last time out, but baring a long term injury to one of the fullbacks, he doesn’t
look like getting back into the Hammers back four any time soon.
Predictions
Gameweek 18 = 7 from 7 What more needs to be said? When you’re good you’re good! Let’s try and replicate this feat with this week’s cup games. Remember to follow @THE_IEFSA on Twitter for all the ups and downs of cup action. Plus, follow me @GarryIrwin for all the corresponding downs and ups!
