EGYPT (Week 19) Player Picks

The perfect strategy for this week is to choose players that didn't play on Thursday. It may sound weird to have a line up full of second string names this week but this should be the strategy. I have been playing the game for sometime and this should be the week to put some few strange picks and here we go!

________________________________________________________________________________________

Strikers:

Dzeko : The Manchester CIty striker was rested on Thursday and with a home game against Crystal Palace Dzeko looks a real solid option this week. No need to worry about his starting place, he WILL start and you might give him the captain armband if you are brave enough.

Bony: Also got rested and facing against an inconsistent Aston Villa. He is also on PK duties so that is a big bonus as well.

Altidore: You got my idea now? Fletcher played 87 minutes on Thursday so Altidore will lead the line against a struggling Cardiff City.

Chicharito: He is due a start and he should lead the line against Norwich City.

Shane Long: We will get the lineup for this game so we will see if he starts against the woeful West ham defense.

Adebayor : How often do we pick players that just scored a couple of goals and then he have a very quiet game afterwards? I would have been recommending Defoe this week but he wasn't even on the bench for Boxing Day so it's quiet a worry. Therefore old blog favorite Ade and Soldado should be leading the line at the weekend.

Midfielders:

Walcott: He did the trick on Thursday by scoring two goals and he should be firing on all cylinders against Newcastle.

De Guzman: Another rested player taking kicks and should play in behind Bony against Aston Villa.

Barkley: Played only 45 minutes against Sunderland and was shooting from every possible angle and scoring a very fast 10 points! Will surely start this week.

Milner: Looks pretty weird for me to recommend James Milner but based on rotation he should start against Crystal Palace.

Paulinho: Back from suspension and is a definite starter against Stoke City.

Whittingham :Taking most of the set pieces and is the worth the shout for the home game against Sunderland.

Brunt/Sessengon: Both should get plenty of opportunities against the leaky West ham defense and you will see the line up as its the early kick off.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Defenders:

Clichy: The City left back was rested on Thursday and should play on Saturday against Crystal Palace.

Vidic : The big Serbian is back from Injury and should start against Norwich and there is a chance he can score with a header.

Dawson: Might be the week that finally Tottenham get a CS and he scores with a header..

Ivanovic : Liverpool are really miserable defending set pieces especially when you have Martin Skrtel marking you, so I really think Ivanovic will cause havoc for the Liverpool defense.

Chico: Just a different pick based on his percentage in starting this game. He got rested last game and should play against Aston Villa.

Kompany: One final though,there is a big possibility that Kompany won't start so just be careful regarding that and put a good bench as a back up.

________________________________________________________________________________________

Goalkeeper:

Hart : The obvious choice for the Clean Sheet this week.

Harper : He should be the Plan B back up if Hart didn't play for any reason or rotation. Harper has a good home game against Fulham so it's not a bad idea to put him.

Lloris : Another good candidate for the clean sheet this week and the price is good.

Joel Robles: If you want something different then the Everton keeper should be the one and his price @ 3 is not that bad.

I am currently sitting on 68 Overall and hopefully I can get back to the Top 50 this week

My team Hart/Clichy/Walker/Ivanovic/Walcott/De Guzman/Milner/Paulinho/Suarez/Bony/Dzeko(c)

Good luck!
