Gameweek 25 – The cold

In 2011/12 on February 11, 2012 at 11:54 am

I went to York for the day this week. It was cold (-15 at night). The big freeze is rubbish and it adds a new level of complexity to fantasy premier league – called off games.

Gameweek 25 picks out some big fixtures for the big boys; Man Utd at home to Liverpool, Chelsea away to Everton, Arsenal away at Sunderland (still riding high on the Martin O’Neill effect) and Spurs at home to Newcastle. It looks like one of those weeks where you need to look outside the big boys. But. Who. Is. On. The. Shortlist:

The Yak
Feed the Yak and he will score. The Yak is back in attack for Black-burn. The ex-Maccabi Haifa man, at £5.8million he’s good value for a goal or 2 at home to QPR.

Zamora
When the ball hits the goal its not Shearer or goal its Zamora. The big man is back in the goals at QPR and has a nice run of fixtures coming up; away at Blackburn, at home to Fulham and Everton. Surely worth a punt.

Gylfi Sigurdsson
#FM2012 legend Sigurdsson has been a great signing for Swansea. So far in 3 1/2 games the Icelander has; 1 goal, 3 assists and 3 bonus points. He’s a nice player and even better he’s on set pieces. Get. Him. In.

That’s all from me. Wrap up warm and good luck in the quest for bonus points.
