Thoughts on the Fixtures Ahead - Part 2

Let's get started with the remaining fixtures and see what is happening there:

Chelsea v West Bromwich Albion

Thoughts on the Fixtures Ahead - Part 1

This is the first full week so I am not yet set on the way I want to be distributing the posts over the week but this is what I have for now (it is more than  likely to change for the better):

Monday: After thoughts.
Tuesday: Injury and Suspension reports.
Wednesday: The Fixtures Ahead - 1
Thursday: The Fixtures Ahead - 2
Friday: Player Picks and Recommendations.
Weekend: Barn Door options.

Since so many results are dependent on current form of the team and the way they play, I thought it would be a good idea to analyze games from the past week and see how they will do for the upcoming week.
More importantly,  I am looking to analyze from the fantasy point of view and see where we can get the best value.

This is the part 1 covering 5 fixtures and I will do the other 5 at some point soon. So here we go:

Gervinho remains suspended

The FA have rejected Arsenal's appeal against the three match ban for Gervinho.

So we will no have to wait before we can really comment on Gervinho but it can be safely said that during the time he is serving his ban, he value will be gradually dropping, bit by bit, so he should be a good pick after three weeks.

Regardless, RvP will probably now play as a sole forward with Arshavin supporting him. We will see what happens.

Week 1 in Points

For those of you wondering how I did in Week 1, and what my team was:

Week 1 Review

As it happens, at the time of the creation of the blog, Week 1 on Yahoo Fantasy Football (termed as YFF in the future) is already over. It was not until it was over that I decided to create the blog so it only makes sense that it is over. Well anyway, there is no point in going over player picks and other good stuff for Week 1 as it does not affect/change anything whatsoever (unless you are a time traveler, in which case I will post Week 1 picks in exchange for your time machine).

What I can do however, are share my after thoughts and early predictions for next week (mainly notable points):

Welcome to Y! Fantasy PL Second Opinion!

Welcome to Yahoo Fantasy Premier League Second Opinion Blog. For those who are familiar with Yahoo Fantasy Football will know exactly what this blog is supposed to be and what can be expected of it.

For those who are not, Yahoo Fantasy Premier League allows you to choose 11 players in your fantasy team, with a maximum budget of 100m pounds and depending on how the players perform during the game week, points are awarded to the players, and in turn, your team.

The purpose of the blog is to assist you in making choices as it can get really difficult to choose the right players. I do not consider myself a master at it and I will in no way be able to guarantee anyone a first placed finish (really, that is only reserved for me, hehe) but I aim to help in the decision making process and hopefully, guide you to a second placed finish.

Now, it can be very difficult to pick just the right players in Fantasy teams, especially on Yahoo with their advanced points system and price fluctuations. So to aid you in picking your team, I will, on a weekly basis, post my game previews, injuries and suspensions, player picks, after thoughts, and all other news relating to Yahoo Fantasy Premier League.

This is my first time running a blog for a Fantasy Sport so I hope you will stick with me and hopefully, I will keep on improving in my posts and over time.

And once more, Welcome! and Hope you enjoy.

-It can't hurt to get a second opinion, can it?
