Arsenal’s Tomas Rosicky & The 5 #FPL Players You MUST Pick For GW23
Gameweek 23
DEFENDER: Ryan Bertrand – £5.8m (Home v Swansea)
A hiccup in the FA Cup won’t derail the Southampton train too much, and they’ll have the perfect opportunity to get back on track at home to Swansea City on Sunday.
The visitors will be missing the suspended Gylfi Sigurdsson and so much of their creativity will be absent, allowing for left-back Ryan Bertrand – who is now owned by more FPL bosses than teammate Nathaniel Clyne – to get forward even more than he usually does.
MIDFIELDER: Tomas Rosicky – £4.7m (Home v Aston Villa)
‘If you love football, you love Rosicky’ said Arsene Wenger after the win over Brighton, and the Frenchman is back loving the Czech midfielder after his return to the team.
The Gunners are bound to get chances at home to Aston Villa, and if you’re in need of a cheap midfielder then you could do a lot worse than a punt on the veteran.
FORWARD: Daniel Sturridge – £11.1m (Home v West Ham)
Brendan Rodgers is happy that he’s got his main forward back, and should you be too?
Daniel Sturridge really should be getting a mention in our ‘Outsider’ section, but you need to be below 5% ownership for that, and the number of players who pick a team at the start of a season and then never log into it again ensures that he’s still on 7.3%. With Diego Costa looking likely to miss three games, the return of the Liverpool man could hardly be better timed.
THE OUTSIDER: Dwight Gayle – £5.0m (Home v Everton)
The likes of Charlie Austin, Danny Ings and Harry Kane have found favour as cheap forward options this season, but what about Dwight Gayle?
The Crystal Palace man has scored three goals in Alan Pardew’s two league games in charge so far, and he’ll fancy his chances of grabbing more against an Everton side who have frankly been awful in recent weeks.
THE CAPTAIN: Alexis Sanchez – £11.5m (Home v Aston Villa)
It feels like a weekend in which the ownership of one or two key players will be crucial, and Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez is certainly one of those.
The Chilean takes on Aston Villa at the weekend in just the sort of Emirates match he has been dominating this season, and with the absences or potential absences of others he looks to be the man to trust.
While Arsenal parked Chelsea’s bus – Mirallas hides behind it!
Jan 21
The Monday Night game. That Monday Night game. Bonus points for Baird, Stones (2) and Jagielka (3). Oh, and this: I’d be willing to wager 18.3% of fantasy premier league players reacted similarly. It isn’t just that Mirallas missed the spot kick, but that he took it at all. As noted just shy of everywhere, […]
Manchester City vs Arsenal: Confirmed Lineups

Arsenal’s Alexis Sanchez shines again: GW21 Review
Jan 12
After posting a couple of blanks in recent gameweeks, the recap column is back and firing – this column is the Alexis Sanchez of the YIRMA family. The Chilean actually saw negative net transfers for the first time since 18 October with a total -9424 transfers ahead of his 19 point outing against Stoke City. […]
Tottenham’s Harry Kane & the 5 #FPL Players You Must Pick For GW21
Gameweek 21
DEFENDER: Marcin Wasilewski – £3.9m (Home v Aston Villa)
Giant Polish defender Marcin Wasilewski has played the full 90 minutes in each of Leicester’s last 11 league matches, and whilst their largely awful form doesn’t make that anything to write home about, he could be a useful cheap addition ahead of the home clash with an Aston Villa side which struggles to score goals.
After a win (and clean sheet) at Hull and comeback point at Liverpool the Foxes will be high on confidence, and if Wasilewski can blunt out Benteke and co then they will be feeling even better about themselves.
MIDFIELDER: Jordan Henderson – £6.0m (Away v Sunderland)
All the talk may be about another Liverpool midfielder at the moment, but with the next five months effectively being preparation to become the club’s captain, Jordan Henderson will have to assume an even greater responsibility in the Reds side.
He’s already one of Brendan Rodgers’ main men, and as he visits former club Sunderland in Saturday’s early kick-off he’ll be eager to prove why, and to add to his two goals and six assists so far this season.
FORWARD: Harry Kane – £5.6m (Away v Crystal Palace)
He’s the talk of the Premier League after his New Year’s Day heroics against Chelsea, and Tottenham’s Harry Kane has quickly become one of those Fantasy players that you really can’t be without.
The forward’s price and ownership percentage continue to rise, and there’s every chance that his goal count will too as Spurs go to Crystal Palace on Saturday evening.
THE OUTSIDER: Olivier Giroud – £8.2m (Home v Stoke)
No doubt desperate to make up for his red card against QPR on Boxing Day, Olivier Giroud is ready to return from suspension for Arsenal as they host Stoke on Sunday, and the Frenchman can make a positive impact this time around.
These are sort of fixtures which Giroud cleans up in, and if you can afford it then he could be worth a gamble this week.
THE CAPTAIN: Eden Hazard – £10.7m (Home v Newcastle)
Make no mistake, the dramatic reversal at Tottenham really wasn’t in the script for Chelsea and Jose Mourinho, and thee Portuguese will be plotting his side’s recovery against Newcastle at Stamford Bridge.
Eden Hazard sat out the Watford fixture in the FA Cup but he’ll return here, and is likely to be the main man for the hosts yet again in a fixture he scored a hat-trick in last season.
Reid to Arsenal, Kramaric to Leicester? Potential January Transfer Fantasy Targets

We were pleased to be invited by @THE_IEFSA to join a draft Fantasy Game for the Premier League for the start of the 2014/15 season. The draft element was something different for us and there is a charity element attached so we agreed to take part. The IEFSA have assembled some well known fantasy soccer […]
