Some Random Week 7 Thoughts

[A special thanks to my friend L'O.M., who always has good insight, as I have excerpted some of our YFF banter.]

Some interesting players with decent match-ups: Yakubu (MID) vs. Sheffield...Johnson (EVE) vs Man City...McCarthy(BLA) vs Wigan [I also like Nonda here, especially if you got him at pre-update price]...Even King (WAT) vs. Fulham is a possibility, though I think Fulham will be tougher than expected.

It's hard to ignore Ronaldo with this current scorching form, and Fabregas will get a hard look for squad. Rosicky at may be too cheap to sell. Is MGP going to have a stormer versus Wigan?? A bit of an expensive risk at the current cost. That might put Bentley in the frame...

Looks like Gallas is injured and so is Djourou - but check Friday previews to confirm the severity. Does Eboue/Hoyte/Toure become better options?? Hoyte, at 5.06, has some appeal a cheapie with a CS chance, and Everton defenders interest me.

In goal, I think Lehmann has a very good clean sheet opportunity, though his price tag is tough to budget in, especially if you endeavor to keep Henry and/or Ronaldo or some other more costly players. My 2nd favourite keeper pick is Howard (combo of match-up & price). But one other GK getting some serious consideration from me right now is Foster of WAT - his 8.50 price tag is very appealing and permits some roster moves.
