The lowest score in the IEFSA Primary
League last weekend leaves my side looking up from the bottom of the table. My
opponent @TAMc10 scored a rather good 161 points. Not the highest score of the
week (that honour went to @jwl_15) but good enough to move him up to eighth
place.
This gameweek the clear prejudice from the
IEFSA/Fantrax fixture computer against my side continues, as I must face
@RotoZdroik. Last weekend he lost a tight high scoring encounter, that surely
must leave him a bit sore. I did score one of my highest scores of the season
against @RotoZdroik in Gameweek 3, in a game I lost. My side has only managed
to outscore Adam’s in one week so far this season. With this in mind, let’s
look in on how my team is preparing for this match-up…
@RotoZdroik’s Team
A below par Sigurdsson performance cost
Adam the win last week. The Icelander and his Everton side should have an
easier time of things against Leicester on Sunday. They surely can’t ship five
goals again can they? Now that Ronald Koeman has been shown the door at Goodison,
Gylfi Sigurdsson might be deployed in his favourite position for a change,
which would help @RotoZdroik. Another Everton player in his squad is Idrissa
Gueye. The Senegalese midfielder was red carded last weekend but served his
suspension in midweek and is available again. To complete his set of Toffees,
we have Phil Jagielka at the back. With David Unsworth selecting the side at
the moment, you would believe that Everton should improve at the back in the
coming weeks.

| "I heard Pep call us 'that Romelu Lukaku team'" "I'll show him!" |
The biggest providers of points for this
side are from his top goal scoring Forward, his Midfield, and the man in goals.
Between the sticks is Huddersfield’s Jonas Lossl, who averages over 17 points
per game, Midfield trio of Steven Davis, Leroy Sane and Mario Lemina average
double figures every game, while Forward Romelu Lukaku (thanks to his seven
goals this season) averages over 18 points per game.
What I Need To Happen
If Lukaku can be shackled by the Spurs
defence at Old Trafford in the early kick off that would be a great start for
my side. If Serge Aurier found himself on the Spurs team-sheet too that would be
fantastic! The rest of my Defence have tough fixtures this week. Michael Keane must
head to Leicester. While Steve Cook, if he can get back in the Bournemouth team, hosts a
free scoring Chelsea side.
Let’s pretend I give myself some hope this
week with a full set of players starting for their clubs. To be able to give
@RotoZdroik at least a token contest, I will need to score some goals. My top
scorer Tammy Abraham is maddeningly inconsistent, but has to head to an Arsenal
side who are no strangers to inconsistency. Maybe this could be the week they
get plunged back into crisis on the back of a Swansea win and an Abraham
hat-trick?

Predictions
A diabolical three from nine predictions
last weekend, as a number of teams turned over their more fancied rivals. This
Gameweek should be just as tough to call, with the game of the round being
third and fourth (@jasonuk17 - @RotoWireAndrew) facing off in the Secondary League. To follow all the action,
make sure you are tuned in to @THE_IEFSA and @GarryIrwin on Twitter.
Here are this week’s predictions. Good Luck
Everyone and Happy Halloween.
