The Matchday Insight: Week 21

A mildly long break from fantasy football with a lot of FA cup action sandwiched in the middle brings us to this week where all the prospective picks have done well during their cup runs and making it all the more difficult to pick who is going to be the anchor of our teams this time around. The usual suspects are back in the mix with a few new names that will come at some bargains. So read on....

January Insight : The Month Ahead

The festive period may be over but the real season starts now, with all the teams knowing where they stand and what needs to be done to get to the finishing line.

For all of us,the Fantasy Managers,we have made most of the right choices to get to where we are but things change very quickly as we did see in the last few weeks of December.With the African Cup of Nations,January transfers and all team news relating to injuries and suspensions we need to be aware of the changes these events could have on team selection, player's performances,roles and more importantly the value of these players in your fantasy teams.

We have here a indepth preview for the month of January which would include Week 21,22 and 23.

Season Insight : Best of Part 1

In the first few weeks one did feel that this season is going to be all about Manchester United and Manchester City with both the teams starting with big home wins and important away wins.Tottenham,Chelsea,Liverpool and Arsenal all started on a wrong note raising questions about their investments or lack of it during the summer transfer window.
Newcastle and Swansea stood out amongst the rest of the teams in the table.

As we went along we did see teams moving up and you may call most of the teams a "one man show" with performances like RVP for Arsenal , Ba for Newcastle or a few stood out like Sturridge/mata for Chelsea , Suarez/Adam for Liverpool, VDV/Adebayor/Bale for Tottenham ,Graham/Sinclair for Swansea.

Luis Suarez and LFC accept the 8 match ban

The FA have confirmed that Liverpool will not be appealing against the 8 match ban handed over to Luis Suarez being charges for "Misconduct" (the decision of an Independent Regulatory Commission). Suarez will be suspended with immediate effect for a period of eight matches, starting with this evening’s fixture against Manchester City. Suarez was also fined £40,000 and was warned as to his future conduct.

The Matchday Insight : Week 20

Firstly, a very Happy New Year 2012 to all and wish you all the very best in this new year.

With the way week 18 and 19 have been for most, im sure we could start this new year on a good note with a double match week to begin with in Week 20.There were a number of reasons for such  a low scoring matchday as we witnessed in the last two weeks which i could address as under :

The Matchday Insight : Week 19

Now that was a week we all didn't expect. Rooney and Nani being billed as top runners and rightly so gave a total of 5.5? Unbelievable. We have to be wary of these real world managers being very unpredictable with lineups and getting a sure shot team on the scorecard atleast. I was lucky enough to have all my players partcipate and giving me a decent total of 76.5 in this low scoring week. Now the transitional week from 2011 to 2012 is here and it comes only 2 days after the last week. Should we expect surprising lineups and players on the team sheet?...surely, but the least we can do is be prepared so lets get down to it.

The Matchday Insight : Week 18

The midweek has come to a close with the Manchester clubs showing off their dominance during the festive periods. Overall the week was a mixed one with largely players giving in performances that were expected of them and a few not so. You wouldn't have seen too much movement in your rank this week but be prepared for a roller coaster ride for this coming matchday that seems to be a recipe for managers losing their heads as we'd all be spoilt for choices. lets take a look.
