Gameweek 10 Review

30 goals and 5 clean sheets for this week. Lampard was the top gameweek scorer with 14pts. With 27percents managers owning him the loss is quite critical for those without him. However only 3 other players scored 10pts and above(2 from Chelsea, 1 from Wigan). Elsewhere it's a great consolation that the overall leader only managed 44pts this gameweek.

Agenda for this review:
1) Score prediction review.
2) Top players performance.
3) Review of GW9 watchlist.
4) Watchlist of the week.

As usual, let's check the score predictions:

Legend: [my prediction] (results)]

Wolves v Aston Villa [0-2](1-1)wrong.
Birmingham v Sunderland [1-0](2-1)correct margin.
Burnley v Wigan [2-1](1-3)wrong.
Hull City v Portsmouth [2-1](0-0)wrong.
Tottenham v Stoke City [2-0](0-1)wrong.
Chelsea v Blackburn [4-0](5-0)correct outcome.
Bolton v Everton [1-1](3-2)wrong.
Liverpool v Man Utd [0-1](2-0)wrong.
Man City v Fulham [2-0](2-2)wrong.
West Ham v Arsenal [1-3](2-2)wrong.

Only 2 correct predictions. No wonder my score is so bad this gameweek! Howevere there are indeed a few surprise results, including Tottenham's and Burnley's home losses.

With a table it would probably easier to explain the performance of top players (sorting by players' price). 4 of them got a very good score and so are their forms. It would be great if one can own all 4 of them now!

A brief review of last week form players section:

Fabregas: 5pts is not so bad. Fabregas is well known for grabbing bonus points.
Drogba: 1 goal and 1 assist explains it all. He's the most consistent player in the league now.
D.Bent: unable to continue his scoring form this week, but he should be able to rediscover his form in the next game against West Ham.
van Persie: 1 goal and 1 assist from corner. More than what I expected from him.
Dunne: It was very unfortunate for Villa to concede a late goal.
Davies: 4pts and another assist. He now has 5 assists in total.
Giggs: Unable to command the midfield and help MU win over Liverpool.
Dunn: It was very unfortunate that Dunne and Samba are infected with Influenza A. It also caused the weakened to lose heavily to Chelsea.
Reid: 5pts is well within expectation. He got 3pts bonus despite his team lost.

Many among the listed players had failed to perform. Anyway let's see if they can make up the deficit next gameweek.

The author has made a shortlist of players to watch for the coming weeks. Coincidentally they are all strikers!?


Rodallega(Wig): Por(A),Ful(H),Tot(A),Sun(H),Bir(H),Sto(A)
Stormed to 7th in the fantasy points ranking with a string of good performances. Has collected 9 bonus pts from the last 4 games. There is a high chance that he would score again in the next game against bottom club Portsmouth.


Torres(Liv): Ful(A),Bir(H),MC(H),Eve(A),Bla(A),Ars(H),Wig(H)
Made a great comeback from injury with a winning goal against MU. Fulham and Birmingham are two good victims coming up.


C.Cole(WH): Sun(A)/AV(H),Eve(H),Hul(A),Bur(H),MU(H),Bir(A)
West Ham play two games this week. Cole is the safest bet despite his 6.8 price tag. He scored 4 goals in the last 5 games, and more remarkably, had scored in all 4 home games this season.


Agbonlahor(AV): Eve(A)/WH(A),Bol(H),Bur(A),Tot(H),Hul(H),MU(A)
Scored in the last 3 away games. Statistic says he will score again. What do you say? Anyway it's 4pts guaranteed as Villa play two games too.


Piquionne(Por): Wig(H),Bla(A),Sto(A),MU(H),Bur(H)
Scored 2 goals in the league cup 4-0 win over Stoke City the past tuesday. An interesting try at a cheap 4.9. Would he be rewarded with a starting place in the league? Also take a look at his team mate Kevin-Prince Boateng, who had collected 6 bonus pts from the last 4 games.

Expected to win big next gameweek are Man Utd and Sunderland. Both teams looks to bounce back from their latest defeat. Blackburn and West Ham looks like good prey for them.
