Week 1 - Saturday Games
Some rather interesting results from the first week's games in the EPL. Liverpool drawing with Sheffield, and Arsenal (debuting their superb new stadium no less!) forced to pull out a late draw with Villa. Reading also made a good showing, coming from behind to defeat Boro, and Portsmouth claiming a solid 3-0 win over Blackburn was a slight surprise.

Now, on to YFF impressions. Of course, it's only one game in.....
» Liverpool may have lacked some creativity in the midfield without Alonso. However, Aurelio slotted in to the left wing position and did quite well with 1SOT, 2SC and 2CW. Not bad for a player listed as a defender.
» Reading - it's very early yet, but my inclination is that they may be a team that will score some goals this season but also give up plenty. That could translate into good fantasy points for their attacking players, as demonstrated yesterday - Sidwell, Kitson, Seol showed well, and their defender Shorey showed that he can get forward effectively, posting 9pts.
» West Ham look set to continue their free-scoring ways, especially at home, it will just be a matter of selecting the form players.
» Yakubu and Downing looked very good for Boro and I expect them to be consistent YFF scorers on what will be a poor team.
» Rovers disappointed, and MGP laid a real egg, totaling a sweet 0 points. Somewhat strange, as 2 sources' matchcasts (SkySports and Yahoo) credited him with 2 SOT.
» I watched this match, and Spurs were outworked by Bolton at the Reebok. Less than impressive outings for Lennon & co. All the running by the tricky England man has yet to manifest itself in worthwhile YFF points. Zokora was all over the midfield, but that did not generate more than a few points through FW. He did however take a few corners and free kicks, but was subbed off on 58 minutes. Berbatov was subdued by the rugged Bolton defenders, not even able to register a shot on target; at least he got a few points from peripheral stats. But I expect more from him in the midweek match. Much talked about defender Assou-Ekotta (mainly b/c of his good price) looked ordinary to me, nothing to suggest he is yet destined for good YFF points.
