Gameweek 4 Report
August 27, 2007
We're a few weeks in & the league is starting to take shape. Warra's Rovers have extended their lead to 13 points, but behind him there is only 20 points seperating 2nd from 20th. A good week from anyone in the top 20 could catapult them to the lofty hights of the top 5, with the reverse being available to anyone in the mix who puts in a shocker.
Talking about the Premier League itself: It was nice to see Ronaldo Jnr (Manchester United's Nani) put in a big week for the Red's & help the defending champions to their first win of the season. As hard as it is to say, lets hope he puts in another couple of big performances so that there's someone around to challenge Chelski for the Championship when the pointy end of the season rolls around. (Being only 8 million & having played in all United's games so far, he might be a good pick-up for a manager with some extra bucks to spend). Chelsea have taken 4 rounds but have assumed their position at the end of the league after Blue-eyed Sven's Manchester City remembered how to lose after 3 rounds of pretending to be someone else. At present Chelsea's main rivals look like Liverpool who are 3 points behind, but have a game in hand after missing GW2 after playing a qualifier in Europe (which they won). Fernando Torres is looking like the buy of the season at a bargain price of 50 million for Merseysiders (At 10.1 million & a goal & an assist in his 3 games so far, Torres might be expensive for a FPL manager, but he is worth the money so far).
To the Harold League:
A big 61 points from Jambo's was the highest score of the week, followed by West Penno Lions with 57 & Rivers Stockpile with 56. The average score for the week was 43.
The gigantic moves are starting to settle down, but with a good week you can still make big ground demonstrated by Psycho Chickens who made 9 places with a solid score of 55, West Penno rose 7 places with their 2nd highest score for the GW & Rivers Stockpile also rose 7 places with the third highest score.
Down the other end Basilton, Figo's Army & Team Larry 08 scored 26, 27 & 28 points respectively, and as Figo & Larry are both in the bottom three they will need to do some real work to avoid being anchored to the bottom for the next 8 months.
The slides down were bigger than the rises with Matt's Mob dropping an impressive 14 places from the top 10 to outside the top 20. Ballarat FC & Hunter FC also had weeks that would be best forgotten with drops of 11 & 10 places respectively.
That's about it for round 4, but looking ahead two of the big thre (ManU & Liverpool) play premoted sides & it could be worth an investment into those teams for a rapid rise next week. Also worth considering is that Reading have battled through a season start that included ManU, Chelsea & Everton in the first three weeks & might be poised to do some damage to mid table teams in the coming weeks.
Wishing you all good selections (as long as they're not as good as mine),
Rosco
Oh, Troy ended with a tip last week... read the pundit on the FPL site he provides some 'educated insight' into comings & goings and will usually discuss some players from the mid-table teams you've barely heard of.
