The author recommend three teams to look into, if you are searching for a short term transfer.

Arsenal
I believe Wigan won't be able to stand their attacks so a bet on Arsenal players could be fruitful. Both defenders and attackers are favorable. But if you are short on money, let's move on to the next.

Aston Villa
They are facing Portsmouth this week. A good chance for them to grab a 4th successive win, and also for a scoring spree. Attacking players are more recommended. Top picks will be, of course, Young(8.4) and Agbonlahor(8.2).
Still finding Villa players expensive? Never mind, now for the last recommended option.

Bolton
Having scored 5 goals in the last two games, they look good to continue the form. With Stoke's keeper Sorensen recovering from a back injury Bolton surely gain some advantage. Check on Cahill and Steinsson(4.7) who both have scoring record in the past seasons, and also midfielder Tamir Cohen, who had scored in the last two games.

You can refer to gameweek 5 review for more recommendations on cheaper players.

Let's look over a longer period to pick the candidates for transfer:
Eve - Bla(H),Por(A),Sto(H),Wol(H),Bol(A),AV(H),WH(A)
Bur - Sun(H),Tot(A),Bir(H),Bla(A),Wig(H),Hul(H)

I have already mentioned about Everton in last week's review. They failed to win their last match at Fulham. However the coming fixture still looks good for them to start winning points. If they failid to grab at least two wins from the next 7 games, I think we can already list them as a relegation favourite.
Saha(7.0), Cahill(8.3), Rodwell(4.5) will be the men for attacking choices. In defence, Distin(4.9) will be a good bargain as he has the potential to pick up bonus pts.

As for Burnley, the only recommendation would be the keeper Brian Jensen. He managed to get 20pts from the three match against Man Utd, Liverpool and Chelsea. I believe he will continue to collect points from clean sheets and also number of saves.

Also, have you gotten the two "must have players" I mentioned in last gameweek review? Worth a thought.

Hot cake? What's that? Yeah, it's the most popular transfer target for the gameweek. For this week it will be Darren Bent(7.3) and Benayoun(7.5), each already have more than 40000 transfer ins. Do they worth the buy? From the viewpoint of value rise they surely worth it, but when comes to chance of getting points, sometimes it could be another story. For this weeks, both players look to have only 50-50 chance of continuing last week's form. Personally I wouldn't recommend them as I have better suggestions with higher chance of performing.

Now, have you decided who you want to bring in this week? Keep in mind that if you do not make a transfer this week, you will be able to make two transfer for free next week. Also when more fantasy managers are tie on same total pts, managers with less transfers made will be ranked higher.
