Boring Boring Chelsea??
May 7
Guest Post from Russell Cane Recent weeks have seen Chelsea nick a 1-0 home win against Manchester United despite only having 30% possession, nullify Arsenal at the Emirates in a far from memorable 0-0 draw and then secure the Premier League title thanks to a narrow 1-0 win over Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge.

Arsenal’s Hector Bellerin & The 5 #FPL Players You MUST Pick For GW36
DEFENDER: Hector Bellerin – £4.7m (Home v Swansea)
With a Double Gameweek on the horizon and an extremely strong end of the season which looks set to set them up for the FA Cup final at the end of the month, Arsenal are flying heading into their Monday night fixture with Swansea.
Flying is also a good description for their quicksilver full-back Hector Bellerin, who has broken through into the first team this season and looks set to nail down his place in the side as the campaign draws to a close.
MIDFIELDER: Tom Cleverley – £5.2m (Home v West Ham)
It isn’t just Christian Benteke who has been inspired by the arrival of Tim Sherwood at Aston Villa, with midfielder Tom Cleverley scoring in his last two matches and bouncing into this weekend’s home clash with Aston Villa in the finest of form.
It is another game that Villa can win as they edge closer to survival, and in Cleverley – who has been unfairly criticised in the past – they have a player who’ll be doing his utmost to make that happen.
FORWARD: Leonardo Ulloa – £5.0m (Home v Southampton)
Leicester’s Argentinean forward Leonardo Ulloa is back in fashion after scoring three times during his side’s terrific recent run, and he can keep that form up as he takes on a Southampton side whose season is stalling a little and who have developed a worrying habit of losing games on the road recently.
West Brom, Everton, Stoke and Sunderland have all beaten the Saints on their own grounds in the past few weeks, and the Foxes and Ulloa will be confident of following suit.
THE OUTSIDER: Mesut Ozil – £8.9m (Home v Swansea)
Only 3.7% of Fantasy bosses own Arsenal’s talented German Mesut Ozil, making him comfortably eligible for our outsider status at a time when he has found some terrific form.
Admittedly that form doesn’t always translate into fantasy points, but with Chelsea having already won the league and perhaps dropping off in performance a little, Ozil could make a good alternative for the likes of Cesc Fabregas – especially with the Gunners’ Double Gameweek approaching next time around.
THE CAPTAIN: Sergio Aguero – £12.7m (Home v QPR)
He once scored a pretty famous end of season goal against QPR at the Etihad Stadium, but with Manchester City having missed out on the title the only damage that Sergio Aguero can do on Sunday is relegate QPR.
He’ll probably do that, too, with his late season burst of form featuring five goals in four matches as he prepares for a summer linking up with Lionel Messi at the Copa America.
10 points predicted for Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool and United – who misses out?
May 2
Previews by @OurLogie and @Bet_McLean It’s all to play for in the Premier League this weekend. Chelsea can clinch the title which they really won a few weeks ago. They have almost stumbled to the finish line but they have been the best side in the league. The race to the top has been a […]

Liverpool’s Philippe Coutinho & The 5 #FPL Players You MUST Pick For GW35
DEFENDER: Luke Shaw – £5.7m (Home v West Brom)
With Champions League football now pretty much secured – curiously having lost their last two games – Manchester United can now build for next season, during which Luke Shaw is sure to be an important player for them.
A popular pick at the start of the Fantasy season, Shaw has ensured somewhat of a nightmare first campaign at Old Trafford, but having made consecutive starts he’ll be hoping for an injury-free run to the end of campaign and the chance to create a springboard into 2015/16.
MIDFIELDER: Philippe Coutinho – £7.9m (Home v QPR)
Liverpool may be limping towards the end of the season, but in PFA Team of the Year member Philippe Coutinho they have certainly had one of the most watchable players within it.
The Brazilian seems to specialise in performing well against QPR, too. He scored the winner the last time the Rs visited Anfield in 2013, and he was also on target in the madcap 3-2 win the Reds achieved at Loftus Road in October.
FORWARD: Christian Benteke – £7.6m (Home v Everton)
The key element behind Aston Villa’s improvement under Tim Sherwood, forward Christian Benteke will be fired up for the visit of Everton to Goodison Park as Villa seek to take another step towards safety.
The Belgian will be up against a side who are on a high following the win over Manchester United, but he and Villa are no respecters of reputations right now, and it would be no surprise to see him find the net.
THE OUTSIDER: Connor Wickham – £5.6m (Home v Southampton)
It was this time last season that Sunderland’s Connor Wickham suddenly found terrific form as he shot the Mackems to safety, and the signs are that he could be following suit in this campaign.
The forward has netted against Crystal Palace and Stoke in his last two games, and with Sunderland facing a Southampton side who are suddenly leaking goals at the weekend and as one of only two sides who have a Double Gameweek left this season, he could be worth a gamble.
THE CAPTAIN: Eden Hazard – £11.4m (Home v Crystal Palace)
With the title set to be secured, it would make sense to focus on a man who has done so much to bring it back to Chelsea.
Eden Hazard – the best player in the Premier League this season and by far and away the top Fantasy Premier League points scorer – will face up to Crystal Palace knowing that his first English title is within touching distance, and you can expect him to do all he can to secure it.
Can Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal Shape your season? Wildcard Worries Part 1

Former #FPL Champion and Friend of the site @spiderm4tt has given his thoughts on any wildcard worries you may have heading into GW34 and looks a a potential team for now and GW38 Here is my chosen squad of players as if I was playing my wildcard this week for Gameweeks (GW) 34-38. I […]
REVEALED: The #FPL Team You Should Pick For ‘Wildcard Week 34’, Featuring Arsenal, Chelsea & Liverpool Stars
So we’re doing something a little different this week.
Instead of the usual array of five players to pick for the upcoming Gameweek, we’ll instead be honouring the fact that it’s Wildcard Week by giving you our recommendation for the rest of the season, on one of the final weeks you can use your wildcard for 2014/15.
Ready? Let’s go:
GOALKEEPERS: David Ospina, Boaz Myhill
We know that we don’t often like discussing goalkeepers here, but the rise of Arsenal’s David Ospina since replacing Wojciech Szczesny in the Gunners goal in January makes him difficult to ignore.
With Arsenal facing two matches in Gameweek 37 then he can be a man to trust stand between your sticks, with West Brom’s Boaz Myhill a cheap substitute and also guaranteed to play for his side.
DEFENDERS: Nacho Monreal, Jeffrey Schlupp, Branislav Ivanovic, Alberto Moreno, Aaron Cresswell
Four of our five featured defenders face Double Gameweeks between now and the end of the season, with Leicester’s Jeffrey Schlupp, Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic and Liverpool’s Alberto Moreno all in action twice over the coming week.
Arsenal’s Nacho Monreal has done well to displace Kieran Gibbs from the Gunners’ left-back spot this season, whilst Aaron Cresswell could be a beneficiary of West Ham’s somewhat kind run-in to the end of the season, and has been hugely impressive in his first Premier League campaign.
MIDFIELDERS: Jordan Henderson, Philippe Coutinho, Andy King, Cesc Fabregas, Eden Hazard
Double Gameweeks are again a key element of our midfield quintet, which is dominated by Liverpool and Chelsea players.
Your captaincy choices for this week should centre here, too, and perhaps a gamble on the Reds’ creator in chief Philippe Coutinho could pay off given that Cesc Fabregas and Eden Hazard face a tough game at Arsenal.
Jordan Henderson could also be a good left-field choice for the captain’s armband, whilst Leicester’s Andy King completes our five given that he’s scored twice in his last three games.
FORWARDS: Harry Kane, Sergio Aguero, Olivier Giroud
There are some players that you simply can’t ignore, however, and Harry Kane’s form this season means that he’s one of them.
The Tottenham forward faces a tough fixture at Southampton this weekend, and might find himself in the unusual position of being left on the bench by many Fantasy bosses, particularly if they’ve also got Sergio Aguero and Olivier Giroud to call upon.
Aguero has found his form again after struggling for a few weeks, whilst Giroud is now Arsenal’s main man after a terrific run of form, and the Frenchman has seen his ownership level rocket as a result.
