Fantasy Premier League Soccer - Gameweek 4 review

LIVERPOOL V ATHLETICO MADRIDAfter the fourth gameweek there are still 3 teams that continue with a nice looking table, only wins. Chelsea, Tottenham and Man City are yet to experience the bitter taste of defeat as Bolton and Portsmouth still wait for their first taste of victory. Chelsea took the most convincing win of the week, as it beat Burnley 3-0. Burnley's great efforts came to an end as the Blues continued their winning streak with goals from Anelka, Cole and Ballack.

This gameweek offered 7 players that were able to collect over 10 points. 3 were defenders, 3 midfielders and one forward. But let's start with this weeks number one goalkeeper, or I should say goalkeepers, as both Green from West Ham and Sorensen from Stoke both collected 7 points. Sorensen is also the number one goalkeeper in the whole league with 26 points.

Defenders elite came from Chelsea, Everton and Wolves. Cole ended up with 14 points from clean sheet, one scored goal and 2 bonus points. Everton's Baines took home 12 points and Wolverhamptons Stearman 11. Both scored one goal and Baines even managed to assist one also.

Chelsea took the top spot also in midfielders as Ballack collected 11 points and Lampard 10. Lampard's 2 assists may be just what Frankie needs to rise to the level he was in last season. Tottenham's Lennon was the third 10-points man this gameweek. Lennon also climbed to the top of the midfielderss list looking the whole season with 27 points.

And last but not least. Only forward to go above the 10 point mark was Liverpool striker Torres. Goal and an assist together with 3 bonus points took Torres to 12 points. It seems 11.5M isn't all too much asked for him if he continues to play according to form he seems to be in.

Player of the gameweek: Fernando Torres, Liverpool

Fantasy Premier League gameweek 3 review

CHELSEA V MANCHESER UNITEDAgain 90 minutes of each game has been kicked and it's time to see who did well in Premier League Fantasy Football this week. Overall there were few big surprises and a few little ones. Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham continue with their no points lost-campaign. Bolton, Blackburn, Portsmouth and Everton still stand at zero.

The goalkeeper who gathered most points this week was Hull City's Myhill with 10 points. Clean sheet, 8 saves and 2 bonus points was a very decent effort. From defenders Aston Villa's Davies took home 10 points. Faye Ab from Stoke and Bikey from Burnley settled with 9.

King of the midfielders came, once again, from Arsenal. But this time it was Diaby who scored two goals and ended up with 14 points. Aston Villa's Ashley Young scored one and gave one assist for the total of 12 points. 5 forwards came home with more than 10 points this gameweek, Rooney from ManU and Jones from Sunderland at the top spot with 13 points. Chelsea's Drogba continued great efforts with 12 points, Anelka from the same team got 11 as did ManU's Berbatov.

Again, the choise is hard for the Player of the Gameweek, with many great perfomances all around. But the winner is...Didier Drogba, Chelsea.

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 2 review

Football - Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester City Barclays Premier League

The second gameweek even though just "half a" gameweek turned out be an interesting one. Gameweeks number one goalkeeper was Burnley's Brian Jensen, who wasn't intimidated by the star power in the opposing team ManU. Jensen even saved a penaltykick and 14 points is a great score for a goalkeeper.

Top defender came from Liverpool, Glen Johnson not only kept a clean sheet, he scored one goal and gained an assist. The perfomance also got him 3 bonus points, to the total of 18 points. Now he would of made a great captain.

Gameweeks best midfielders also came from Liverpool, both Dirk Kuyt and Steven Gerrard gathered 11 points. Gerrard with 2 assists, Kuyt with a goal and an assist. It seems Liverpool is on their way to fight for the championship.

If Liverpool was the home for top midfielders, top forwards came from Tottenham. This season's first hat trick saw the light of day when Jermain Defoe scored 3 goals against Hull. That plus 3 bonus points add up to 17 points. Robbie Keane of the same team wasn't a whole lot worse with a goal and 2 assists, when he also got 2 bonus points, his total climbed to 13 points.

Choosing the Player of the gameweek was a tough job but let's give props to the debut team goalkeeper Brian Jensen.

Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 1 review

Premier League: Arsenal Outclass Boro

First gameweek is now played. There were no really big surprises, except maybe that none of the games ended in a draw. Let's see who were the players that we all hope we'd had in our FPL-team.

Top 3
Goalkeepers

1. Thomas Sorensen, Stoke City 9pts
1. Shay Given, Manchester City 9pts
3. Robert Green, West Ham United 8pts


Seven goalkeepers kept their goals untouched this weekend, but Stoke's Sorensen and ManCitys Given both got 2 bonus points and a point for saves made.

Defenders

1. Ryan Shawcross, Stoke City 15pts
2. Matthew Upson, West Ham United 12pts
3. Sebastien Bassong, Tottenham 11pts


Stoke City's Shawcross debuted the season with an amazing 15pts, clean sheet, one goal and 3 bonus points. His about the become the most bought defender after this match.

Midfielders

1. Francesc Fabregas, Arsenal 22pts
2. Mark Noble, West Ham United 14pts
3. Jason Koumas, Wigan 10pts

This was Fabregas' week, 22pts with 2 goals and 2 assists, just unbelievable. After Didier Drogba scored 2 goals, I thougt this weeks king was crowned, well I was wrong.

Forwards

1. Didier Drogba, Chelsea 12pts
2. Robin van Persie, Arsenal 10pts
3. Emmanuel Adebayor, Manchester City 9pts

Enough's been said about Drogba, 2 goals, great game.

Fantasy Premier Blog's PLAYER OF THE GAMEWEEK 1...drumroll...

FRANCESC FABREGAS, ARSENAL

And, if you really want to know how my team did, 34 pts...not a great start, but hey few gameweeks still left :)
