Week 6 - Early First Impressions

Based on this post about going with first instincts and gut picks, here is a very preliminary roster for week 6. It is based a quick glance at the match-ups, but only takes approximate player costs into account, so it may be a bit of a wish list. Nor does it consider team performance in today's fixtures, which includes many marquee players that also look good for next round. I'll report on that afterwards.

Rooney/Saha
Henry --> if fit, away to Sheffield - hard to pass up.
Tevez --> bargain price, home game.
Sheva --> still waiting for him to come good, still attractively priced.
AJ --> this guy is on fire and can really finish; Newcastle's defense is mediocre at best.

Lampard
Scholes --> will drive forward in Giggs' absence.
Ronaldo
Fabregas/Ljungberg
Baptista --> now in the database, and especially if tipped to start.
Petrov --> home game, looks good so far.
Ballack --> cheap filler that could go off any week; new PK taker for Blues.
Rosicky --> affordable w/ good match-up; is he finding his shooting boots?

Aurelio --> continues to attack.
Scharner --> MF listed in defense, home to Watford; could be points-chasing.
Johnson/Stefanovic --> hosting Bolton, this has 0-0 written all over it; these guys win tackles & make cheaper alternatives to Matty Taylor.
Eboue --> attacking fullback with a great match-up. Gallas comes to mind as well.
Cole --> still priced right and likes to get forward.

Sorenson
Lehmann
James
Kirkland --> cheap option.

There's where I am starting from this week, but naturally, adjustments will be made...
