da apostaganha： Fantasy Football returns hand-in-hand with Premier League football after a positive week for the England during the international break. So who’s looking likely to make their mark?
da bet7： The Captaincy Debate
Norwich host Arsenal in the first game of the weekend. With the Gunners coming to town, it also means the Premier League most in-form player Robin van Persie will be at Carrow Road. The Dutchman needs no introduction with his current form (but he has scored eight in his last four if you needed further convincing).
Perhaps though this is the weekend RVP’s run of form comes to an end. Let’s turn our attention to the 1st v 3rd clash, and who’d have thought that would have been said ahead of a Manchester City versus Newcastle game this season. Nevertheless, the likes of David Silva, Edin Dzeko should be catching your eye in terms of potential captains. The way the Toon are playing currently, it might be worth as an outside bet considering Demba Ba as he can’t stop scoring.
Let’s move back down south to North London this time as Spurs take on Aston Villa on Monday. Even though van der Vaart has arguably been the key player for the Lilywhites over the season so far, Gareth Bale is starting to rediscover some of the form that last season led to him being lauded around Europe. He was on target for Wales last weekend as he put in another convincing appearance. Shay Given is one of the Premier League’s best keepers but Bale must be confident of adding to his recent tally.
Captain: It’s hard to veer away from Robin van Persie at the moment. Any time he gets near the 18 yard box, you think he’s going to score.
Vice Captain: Although Mancini might rotate ahead of City’s trip to Napoli, David Silva will probably be a survivor in the team. Even though Newcastle’s defence has been impressive, there’s not been much that has stopped the little Spaniard.
Long Term Look
This week, he might find it hard to continue to score points but in the long term, Ryan Taylor is a good player to have in your defence. Although he hasn’t exactly been the headline maker in Newcastle’s unbeaten run, Taylor is the current top points scorer in the defenders category.
The ex-Wigan man has two goals, two assists and four clean sheets. The two goals were both memorable moments, the first was the winner in the Tyne-Wear derby and the second a fantastic long range half volley which proved to the winner against Everton nearly a fortnight ago.
Whilst Newcastle’s run may well come to an end, Taylor is averaging just over 5 points per gameweek (Official Fantasy Premier League ). His price has increased at an alarming rate, so now could be the time to grab the defender before his price goes up even further.
