And still, 9.5 is pretty good for a defender I have just above 6mil.<br />Fab - well, 12 points is also good, although it seems like he only gets phantom points when he doesn't score. Last week he scored and got only 4 phantoms, while this week without his assist he had 8! Never the less, I'm keeping him against Blackburn. They've beaten AV, but they tend to lose away from home. And Arsenal are better than AV, no doubt.<br />So that means that when the points get in, I'll have 68.5 for this week, with Given, Bridge and Bent to go, which is poor but at least not as poor as week 3 (66). I've dropped about 3500 (!!!) stages in the standing, and now I'm misserable. I thought about making a lot of changes in my team, but then I saw that I'd done only 2 changes in my team after week 3, and got 108.5 points on week 4 and 117 on week 5. And I've already done two changes yesterday.<br />But I'm still doubting Lennon, Benayoun, and Bridge (but that really depends on his performance tomorrow). I'm also not that sure about Defoe, and not only because of his slight injury. But he'll probably stay at least against Bolton.<br /><br />Any more thoughts about Lennon and Yossi?<br /><br />SFAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-83163983369214019912009-09-27T06:59:14.466+01:002009-09-27T06:59:14.466+01:00Everyone!!

He should be fitter and cheaper for the easier matches ahead. How can Glen Johnson score just two FF points when Liverpool score 6 goals? He's history. Initially kicked myself when Giggs didn't start but grateful for his 13 in a sub's role. Otherwise my MF (Rodwell, O'Hara, Lennon) was abysmal. There will be changes made with the funds freed up from dropping Johnson.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-36135174491286790802009-09-26T23:23:29.847+01:002009-09-26T23:23:29.847+01:00Someone and I talked about Sonko having a good ret...Someone and I talked about Sonko having a good return earlier last week, all that money spent on G.Johnson for 2pts when I could spend 4x less for Sonko and 9.5pts. Anytime you have a weak defender against a strong attacker its a gamble, play that out again Sonko could just have easily gotten a YC and some fouls on Torres, but I think Torres was too quick for Sonko to even touch him lol<br /><br />Torres the most expensive player now, he's staying in my team for sure, plus he put up a brace against Chelsea at Chelsea last year.

Everything was going through Torres until he got subbed off. Simply it was sonko doing all the tackling on Torres, but dont forget it was his terrible marking which allowed him 3 goals so his 9 points is deceiving. Torres would just cut inside, shoot and it would be a goal and I think sonko should have caught on after the first two.ToffeeDavenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-38859646181435818112009-09-26T21:31:49.695+01:002009-09-26T21:31:49.695+01:00Re: Sonko -> (5TW=2.5) + (1FW=0.5) + (1PI=0.5) ...Re: Sonko -> (5TW=2.5) + (1FW=0.5) + (1PI=0.5) + (3BS=6).

A few dribbles and dangerous passes here and there but no decent crosses, SOTs or interceptions. I feel he'll be ahead of Riera and Babel when Rafa picks his team, but he's still a hit or miss player. He is able to score the odd winning goal or a hattrick but rarely any phantom points. I BD'd him after the Burnley game realising it's a gamble and dropped him now in favor or Arshavin. I hope the little russian rapes Blackburn next week, he's long overdue a MoM performance.MLowreynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4030086474399228114.post-74497871032962947032009-09-26T19:34:20.724+01:002009-09-26T19:34:20.724+01:00CS from Vermaelen, an assist from Fab.

That's bad from Yossi, because no one can promise that he'll score or hand out assists against Chelsea.
