Help me out, if you would...

Inspired by a post on the always-excellent Fantasy Football Scout, I'm mulling over one of my own about Queens Park Rangers. More specifically it is about how Mark Hughes' playing style is good for a winger's fantasy value.

In this case it might be Adel Taraabt & Shaun Wright-Phillips, but he's done it before. Remember David Bentley? Remember when he was "Blog Favorite David Bentley"? Was it Morten Gamst Pedersen on the other flank then? MGP's one true relevant fantasy season.

What about Simon Davies/Damien Duff at Fulham? Is it fair to add them? I feel like neither ever got started due to injuries. Who played those roles in their absence - was it Clint Dempsey?

At Manchester City who was it? SWP again (first time)? Who else?

Thanks for your help.

Spot on

To be honest, I’m tempted to get Taraabt. He was outstanding against Wolves and would expect more to come from him in the upcoming fixtures – against Blackburn, why not? He’s on set piece duty too.

It all comes back to the classic 94 team at United, probably the best he played in, Kanchelskis, Giggs and Sharpe.

You have to love any team that plays with fast skillful wingers.

Really SWP?

I wouldn’t touch him with a bargee pole. consistently under-performs at every level

Except for last week

Under Hughes’ system, when he managed 11.5 points and cost less than 6. 200% return is hardly underperforming.
