A battling performance in the IEFSA Cup
against @TRKingston, but not enough points to score the upset. Oddly I was
hanging in there in the tie until late on in the Liverpool game when Dejan Lovren
assisted a Ragnor Klavan goal (both of these Defenders were @TRKingston players)
against my Goalkeeper Nick Pope. That is two games in a row where Todd has got
the better of my side.

It’s back to IEFSA league action this
weekend though, as I attempt to drag my side from the foot of the table. So,
who has the IEFSA/Fantrax fixture computer saw fit to put my side up against
this gameweek? Why its only third placed @RotoZdroik, who has already beaten me
in gameweeks 3 and 10.
@RotoZdroik’s Team
The two highest scoring players on @RotoZdroik’s
team have more goals between them than my whole squad. Both of them have nearly
three times as many assists as my whole squad too. And to cap it off, they both
cost less than five players in my squad. Leroy Sane of Manchester City in
Midfield averages over 15 points per game. While up front, Manchester United
Forward Romelu Lukaku is just back from injury and will hope to add to his ten
league goals this season when he faces Stoke City on Monday night.

| Lukaku back from injury, and back on the score sheet in the FA Cup |
But even if those two players misfire this
weekend, he can call on several other stalwarts to get him through the fixture.
Hector Bellerin in Defence is a good accumulator of points. Steven Davis of
Southampton in Midfield already has three goals to his name this season, as
does Everton’s Gylfi Sigurdsson. In goals is Huddersfield’s Jonas Lossl, who
has achieved seven clean sheets so far this season.
What I Need To Happen
It looks like @RotoZdroik will be able to
get a full set of starters in his team and will be scoring points all over the
field. My side on the other hand will be struggling once again this week. If
Tammy Abraham, (my top scorer believe it or not) is absent this week, that will
mean no scoring player for the Forward position. This will force me to look into the
abyss of the unclaimed player pool for a goalscorer that everyone else has
inexplicably passed by.

| Will Joe Allen stay put, go to West Ham, or, retire and move to Celtic? |
Mark Hughes has been shown the door at
Stoke City. Hopefully this will free up the criminally underused Joe Allen. The
Welshman has been a transfer target of West Ham United this January according to reports. Maybe a
move to the Hammers would revitalise his fantasy scoring seeing as West Ham
score more and concede less than the Potters. Wherever he ends up, his head
better be right for Stokes vital clash against Manchester United this coming Monday.
Predictions
Only one from three for the IEFSA Cup games
midweek. This was after a rather disappointing showing of five correct from
nine during the last gameweek. Things are only going to get harder to predict
as we enter squeaky bum time in the season. Remember to follow @THE_IEFSA on Twitter for all
the latest action.
Here are this week’s predictions. Good Luck
Everyone.
@TRKingston over @nikarg
@FuzzyWarbles over @TAMc10
@jwl_15 over @EPL_MOstradamus
@FantasyYIRMA over @wrigavin
@BenDinnery over @nealjthurman
