Welcome! I'm Nik Argiropoulos, a 28 year old Tottenham fan from Woking, Surrey, UK. I've finished in Yahoo Fantasy Football's Top 500 every season since I started playing the game 7 years ago, with a highest finish of 60th, so I'm hoping this blog will offer some useful advice to my fellow managers. **AM CHAT ROOM**
i have begovic bale, smalling, salgado johnson, dempsey, etherington, bentley tevez, defoe, bellamy
i went with the players that would be the best fantasy producers per team. without zamora, dempsey gets slotted forward, he should be a better pick than duff. bentley is the only scorer in the middle for tottenham, defoe and tevez were nobrainers, but bellamy was, excitedly picked thinking that adebayer would be on the bench, when he is not out there getting in everyones way, the team can score some goals. unfortunately, adebayor is starting
all double gamers. so far all my players are playing today. so hopefully some good points today. already a goal by tevez, 2 assist by johnson. Hopefully i get the no. 1 spot in my private league after this week.
after all i said about Fulop in the week and his hopeless saves ratio, i ended up switching from Gomes to the dodgepot. regretting it big style after conceding a shocker so early. so far, got away with it, but spurs should be rubbing their hands for the midweek game. mind you , i've also got defoe & pav, and they were hopeless today- not a single SOT from either of them.
Yea Bad Start, Collins for me too, and Stoke with the CS. We better see him versus Fulham because I feel another 0-0. Fulop still produced well above his value though :D and Bale is just unstoppable.
I was so closing to copying your team player for player AM. This is what I ended up with (FULL PRICE BALE)
Fulop Bale Jagielka Baird Hangeland Arteta Johnson Etherington Drogba Ade Fuller I just couldnt see alot of goals this week, and so I figured defenders would be scoring very well and it seems to have been the case, save for a weak goal by Fulop alot of defenders should be 10+ this week.
Another blinder from Bale and another donkey performance from Defoe. MEth and Modric were also pretty anonymous. At least they have another game to make up for it...
currently on 97 points, biggest scorers were bale, tevez, bellamy, begovic. midfield got me only 15 points etherington, modric, lennon, aj :S but 97 is very dicent, climbed up 40 places, how about you guys?
Fulop Bale Zab Mancienne Maxi Modric Eth AJ Tevez Bellamy Fuller
Still reluctant to give up Maxi (4.78) since I got him so cheap, especially since I had to go full price on Bale. Maxi has 34.5 pts in the last 2 games and 60 in the last 5. He has been my best filler of the season, easily, even if he doesn't do well the last two matches.
It all started off pretty well yesterday. Firstly, I didn't drop even a bit following Brum's game, which was pretty surprising as I thought many would have Brum players home to Burnley. Then, I had 2 goals - Bellamy, and Huddlestone. I really thought about dropping him for Lawrence, and glad I didn't. On the other hand, I also thought about dropping him for BAE, who got only 2.5 points less with the assist, and could be past Huddlestone after the second game. Nevertheless, I'm pleased with that choice. Etherington, Modric and Defoe were all very disappointing, and you can also add Lennon to that as he didn't start and got only 2 points. But I'm not as much disappointed about Lennon as I am about the others, becuase he got the same points as the other I would have taken instead of him (Bentley), and I also believe he'll start against Man City after he was half-rested. Tevez seemed a bit off, so I'm glad I didn't pick him, and Bellamy looked (and scored) much better. Zabaleta and Johnson were proved as solid picks as well (9.5 points for Zaba, the guy Neal called a 'crap two-gamer', without a CS). Bale. Just fun to say that.
BD team:
Howard Bale Terry Ferdinand AJohnson Lennon Valencia JCole Carew Berbatov Pavlyuchenko
I don't like it much, especially JCole and Pavly that I could drop easily. I'm not so sure about Berbatov and Lennon as well, but I'm more worried about their squad status (starting or benched) than about their form.

Stay for Arteta for next week vs Portsmouth, but Portsmouth is strong! Hope my decision is right!
Good luck everyone
