Its a double GW! We kick off this double GW with 6 fixtures tonight. Burnley, Chelsea, Forest, West Ham, Arsenal and Manchester United, are all at home. Looking at Fantasy League assets, Newcastle player owners have to be looking for a clean sheet here. Newcastle haven’t kept a clean sheet since the 5th October in the Premier League against Forest. Newcastle have lost 5 out of there last 6 away games.
Burnley, do not score a lot of goals and with Foster at the AFCON, its going to be a tough battle.
Chelsea have dropped out of the top 4, with only one win in their last 6. Bouremouth haven’t won in their last six, will this be Semenyo’s farewell? Pedro scoring well for Chelsea, a home win and clean sheet?
Forest entertain Dyche’s old club everton, will Grealish be back after his Christmas hic hic, cold?!
West Ham look a mess, rumours around that they will make yet another manager change, with an erratic Brighton visiting, maybe we’ll see a few goals? Anyone for a Brighton defender?!
The game of the evening, 1st play 3rd, Very excited to be watching this tonight, Villa on fire, Watkins and Rogers firing on all cylinders. Arsenal might have a more familiar back 4 this evening.
Finally after a formation change, will Amorim revert to 5 at the back?! I’m not sure it matters, as United are at home to a woeful Wolves, who were hammered 4-1 at home in the early season fixture at Molineux.
Thursday brings us another London derby, as Fulham make the short trip down South to visit Palace. Hands up who has a palace defender and/or Wilson from Fulham?
Will Leeds entertain the crowds at Anfield, Stach a popular recent player purchase and with a new Liverpool shape, will Frimpong continue his attacking runs down the right.
Brentford looked fantastic against Bournemouth, and players are beginning to creep into Fantasy League managers teams, namely Kelleher, Schade to name but two. We finish at the Stadium of Light, and with Xhaka, Sunderland have perhaps made the signing of the season. However, will they hold out against a very formidable City team?
