May I suggest an alternative budget pairing that is based on home fixtures: Robinson and Bergovic.<br /><br />These two have an almost near perfect home rotation for the remainder of the season. The only week they both play away fixtures is gwk 29 when they both visit relegation-threatened teams.<br /><br />Robinson is due back from injury-it doesn't matter if he is out this week as Bergovic is the choice being home to Bolton.<br /><br />Stoke and Blackburn are usually hard to crack on their home turf. Stoke have definitely been improving of late and have conceded less goals. I am of course assuming Bergovic holds his place as first choice keeper.<br /><br />I'd be interested to know what the goals conceded is for this pairing to see how they compare with the other combos on your chart.Jafaladhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222378260679168396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-72760686865914881072011-01-11T23:22:36.223-05:002011-01-11T23:22:36.223-05:00I've decided to completely front-load my team ...I've decided to completely front-load my team with my wild card. As it stands, here's what I'm looking at:<br /><br />Foster, Harper<br />Coleman, Foley, Djourou, Collins, Bardsley<br />Fabregas, Nani, VDV, Brunt, Adam<br />Tevez, RVP, Berbatov<br /><br />Am I mad for going so cheap with the defenders? I obviously would never play more than 3. Coleman, Bardsley and Djourou would play most weeks unless they had an away match against a decent scoring team.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14896703153560168328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-84106388184674888252011-01-11T17:48:27.070-05:002011-01-11T17:48:27.070-05:00Chris,

This decision has to be made at some positions (we would normally have made it with midfielders in the past) and so you could make the argument Joe Hart is a difference maker. It really depends if you can use the 2m you save elsewhere to make your team better.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-27514727377164958922011-01-11T12:36:12.891-05:002011-01-11T12:36:12.891-05:00Chris,

His value per the dollar spent might not be as great as the other cheaper options, but his overall score has to count for something. I have gained a few hundred thousand pounds off of him through the course of the season so I doubt I'll drop him now. I have Foster and Birmingham have not been all that impressive as a side, even if Foster has put up solid numbers. <br /><br />I think I'm playing my wildcard at some point soon and will look to Gordon to replace Foster though. Any thoughts on predicted points for Foster vs Gordon?<br /><br />Keep up the good workStevenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00748776904967289622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-43957130816375297532011-01-11T09:56:45.976-05:002011-01-11T09:56:45.976-05:00John - I say Kingson but I am really saying 'B...John - I say Kingson but I am really saying 'Blackpool's keeper' as all those keepers can be bought for the same price and once someone wins the gloves back, it's rare that they are rotated.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14124060389050404946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-61198933180642327412011-01-11T05:53:15.143-05:002011-01-11T05:53:15.143-05:00I just wrote this really long essay about why Sund...I just wrote this really long essay about why Sunderland were going to be a bad idea for clean sheets over the next 10 games, but then I changed my mind, they will presumably continue to keep clean sheets against unlikely sides as they have been (Chelsea, City, United)...they are going to have to with the most ridiculously hard schedule ahead, I just doubt many managers will be starting their black cats defenders for the games they do surprisingly keep clean sheets. If you are going to back them then remember you will have to back them through some seriously tough games when they simply won't seem like the best option.<br /><br />I am seriously considering Hart, Richards and Kolo Toure for my wild card, paying 6.4 for Toure seems a bit mad but he plays, and Richards may well miss some games, overall I think having 3 man city defenders could really set me apart from the Sunderland crew. I have no doubt at all that in 10 games time city will have put some serious distance between itself and Sunderland in the clean sheet rankings.Leohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994879773506637199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1020279998144194267.post-48489459418511267772011-01-11T02:50:44.480-05:002011-01-11T02:50:44.480-05:00Kingson is quite the rotation risk with Gilks due ...Kingson is quite the rotation risk with Gilks due back and Rachubka wanting to claim his (once regular) place back.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17959538105875703742noreply@blogger.com
