Adebayor to Score against Wolves and Online Soccer Deals

Butt’s Brain: Friday Night Musings

No longer Captain but could start and score versus Wigan

Think of this as a Funny Feeling Friday column “Part II,” with a bit of musings going into the weekend…

TEVEZ – Stripped (officially) of the club captaincy, he will have a point to prove and could outscore Dzeko and Aguero – two more popular fantasy options… He’s 11.9M and owned by less than 1% of fantasy managers but don’t bet against him scoring against Wigan if he gets 60+ minutes. Could be the surprise of the weekend.

ADEBAYOR – We discussed the threat of Tottenham players a few days ago and Adebayor is a proven Premier League scorer. No room for him in our weekly picks this time around (at Wolves) but again a great sleeper pick. Like Tevez, only owned by 1% of fantasy managers. Your rivals won’t have him! He’s only 8M and despite tough fixtures, can score against anyone. Should partner Defoe up front and receive great service from Modric / Parker. A double on his debut at Wolves or am I dreaming?

HERNANDEZ – Hasn’t scored yet this season but could against Bolton. 10M and none of your mini-league competitors own him, that’s for sure. Rooney of course is the hot commodity at 2.1M more but Hernandez is a classic poacher and will get his 12-15 league goals this season as long as he stays fit – you can be SURE of it.

New QPR Assets – Barton (5.9M) and SWP (6.4M) are proven Premier League veterans and former England internationals. If QPR beats Newcastle on Monday, they will surely play a big part in the win. Barton is owned by 6% of fantasy managers but SWP is only owned by 1% of managers. Keep an eye on him as he could deliver…
