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

Liverpool
Hull City scored in the first 5 league games but lost 0-1 at home in their last game and are now languishing at the second bottom place. Liverpool have every reason to capitalize on their opponent's miserable run. I would suggest Torres(11.5) and Kuyt(9.6) as the safest bet.


Torres and Kuyt lead the scoring chart in Liverpool.


Man City
They may have lost their last game, but the team spirits are still high. They could have savoured the point had the referee blown the whistle earlier. Strikers Bellamy(7.9) and Tevez(8.2) are two men to watch out. Barry(7.9) and Wright-Phillips(8.1) will be the midfielder options.


Bellamy and Tevez will lead charge in the absence of Adebayor and Robinho.

Sunderland
After the Home game against Wolves they will face Man Utd and Liverpool. But they looks good to capture victory in this game. Reid(5.3) and Darren Bent(7.4) will be the key performers once again.


Reid and Bent combined to beat the offside trap and score in their 1-3 loss to Burnley last week.

Birmingham
They look good to get another clean sheet in this game. And their defenders are pretty cheap too. You should get keeper Hart(4.1) into your team now, if you hadn't.


Hart and Roger Johnson are the key men in the defence.

Let's look over a longer period to pick the candidates for transfer:

Everton - Por(A),Sto(H),Wol(H),Bol(A),AV(H),WH(A)

I believe they will go for a winning streak starting from last week's victory over Blackburn. It's a good timing to bring in Everton players. You can pick defenders Distin(4.9), Yobo(5.8) or Baines(6.3), depending on your budget. Baines, of course, will be the best choice as he takes corner and penalty. I'm not sure if Saha(7.0) will play in every match, but once he's on the pitch, you can count on him. We also have a great bargain in midfielder Rodwell(4.5), but note that he's actually playing in a defensive position.


Saha has scored 4 goals in as much games. Can he score more against Portsmouth?


Tottenham - Bur(H),Bol(A),Por(A),Sto(H),Ars(A),Sun(H),Wig(H)

They have a series of easy games coming up and it's a good chance to surge up again after losing to Man Utd and Chelsea. Don't give away your Tottenham players if you still holding any.


Chance for Defoe to grab more goals.

This week's popular choices are Vermaelen(6.7) with 70000 nett transfer ins and Fletcher(5.5) with 60000 nett transfer ins. However I doubt if it's a wise choice to bring in any of them at this point. Fulham will not be an easy nut to crack, and He's pretty expensive if you're just looking for a clean sheet in him. As for Fletcher, the odds are very low for him to score in successive games. You should instead look into Giggs(6.9) who provided all the scoring chances for Fletcher.
