You think Wilkinson is worth it at 4.87?<br /><br />@ Anorexic Pig <br />I think Gudjohnsen definately won't play both games, maybe not even one, so not a very good choice. Maybe BD tho if spurs have good matchups and he actually does something..<br /><br />- THMAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-56320258910374719002010-02-05T13:47:51.980+00:002010-02-05T13:47:51.980+00:00V.

They were late substitutes in the FA Cup replay defeat by Notts County on Tuesday Feb 2. H. Thomas was an unused substitute.<br /><br />The formation for the game:<br />Stojkovic<br />Boyce (Rodallega '86) Bramble Caldwell Figueroa<br />Koumas (McCarthy '61) Sinclair Scharner Diame (N'Zogbia '61) Gomez<br />Scotland<br /><br />My impressions... This is basically the first team of Wigan without their best players! Martinez seems be giving them some rest in view of the tight schedule.<br /><br />If Mirror Football is to be believed, Martinez said: "I don't think we are ready to go into two competitions and try to be successful in both. Our priority is the Premiership." This underlines how important Thomas, McCarthy, N'Zogbia and Rodallega is for the coming matches. <br />http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Martinez-Wigan-squad-only-big-enough-to-compete-in-one-tournament-article310905.html<br /><br />Therefore, I have the feeling that the 4 of them will be in the starting lineup for the 3 matches of Feb 7, 10 & 17. Note that there is a gap of a week between the last 2 matches, where Wigan does not have any matches at all, so the players should be well rested. Stoke, Man City and Bolton have FA Cup fixtures on Feb 13 & 14, so they play 4 matches in 10 days.<br /><br />Oh in case someone thinks that I have an agenda with all my Wigan related comments, I do not. Just wanting to point out things that could have been overlooked, some more information, something to think about. Well, in the end, Martinez is the one choosing his team, not me... so if he decide to throw a spanner in the works... ouch!<br /><br />Cheers...STMnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-2760265478652768302010-02-05T03:57:30.645+00:002010-02-05T03:57:30.645+00:00ESPN now reporting Bridge will be back (and Lescot...ESPN now reporting Bridge will be back (and Lescott on the bench) for the first match.

Birm's matchups are really attractive (home to Wolves & @ WestHam). Definitely one clean sheet and even with new strikers I wouldn't expect Hammers to be a powerhouse. So I brought in Carr, due to all the doubts of MC selection, etc. Likewise I like the Benitez option up front.<br /><br />Given<br />Higgenbotham (7.58) Carr Garrido<br />O'Hara (8.21) Etherington deJong LeeC-Y<br />Rooney Tevez Benitez<br /><br />I had HRod but then got nervous with the new strikers in. I worry that since he has been a workhorse and played every game that they'll give him a rest when there are so many games in few days, and with new blood they want to see in action. I suppose if he gets 2 games then it's at least as good as any other team (and a possible up side).<br /><br />So with discussion here, I'm strongly considering bringing HRod back in. That would mean dumping Eth probably.<br /><br />So it's Etherington/Benitez vs (Wilshere/Whitehead)/HRod. Unfortunately, I can't get McCarthy in, I'd be .14 short for HRod if I swapped him for Eth. :)<br /><br /><br />Thoughts on those combos? And which W would be better in midfield? I could swap Lee for NZog, but frankly I have a hunch for Lee, he should've scored last week, he's bound to in 3.mikl-emhttp://mikl-em.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-53655723763416904852010-02-05T03:16:49.456+00:002010-02-05T03:16:49.456+00:00Hey AM, i'm a big fan... your suggestions (and...Hey AM, i'm a big fan... your suggestions (and everyone else's comments) have helped me push up to a fighting chance of nipping my local mini-league.<br /><br />Ok so i've got a dilemma- take a gamble with youthful debutants on trip games or stick to senior teammates. So here are my possible teams:<br /><br />(1)<br />Given<br />Bale / Verm / Zabaleta<br />N'Zog / Lee / Eth / Whitehead<br />Rooney / Tevez / Tuncay<br /><br />or<br /><br />(2)<br />Given<br />Bale / Verm / Zabaleta<br />N'Zog / WILSHIRE / Eth / COHEN<br />Rooney / Tevez / MOSES<br /><br />1 seems more conservative, but at least Lee is in there (more points hopefully). 2 is a bit of a gamble with possible debuts for Wilshire and Moses.

I guess a lot barndoored him and now are stuck with him. Don't get me wrong, he's a good pick, but if you configure probability, he's certainly not the best among triple-gamers.<br /><br />Also surprised about the amount going with double gamers over triple gamers. I can understand Bale and others taken at massive discounts, but honestly, outside of Bent, NO ONE has the match-ups to justify one less match.
