Gameweek 33 Overview
By Abi Barathan
This gameweek resulted in a number of shock occurences in the BPL; Spurs losing to Norwich, QPR beating Swansea, Wigan beating Man Utd. and most surprisingly of all, Andy Carroll scored a goal! Papiss continued his magnificent run of goalscoring and RVP has seen to have gotten his touch back. All in all, this gameweek has resulted in a lot of issues which FPL managers may want to consider about their team.
Theo Walcott is in raging form at the moment, making goals and scoring goals. I would say he should easily do the same against Wigan however I'm still in shock from watching the United game in which Wigan dominated (much like they did in the Chelsea game) however Arsenal are at home for this game so I would still predict an easy win for the Gunners but with Moses in the form he's in at the moment anything is possible. Sunderland, depsite a disappointing result being demolished by Everton, should be looking forward to having some goal scoring practice against Wolves who are in tatters right now. Also, major news for FPL managers this week is the news that Sergio Aguero is back and on his return has already bagged 2 goals AND 2 assists. As an avid Man Utd. fan I can't buy Aguero as I'd find myself wanting City to lose desperately but at the same time want Aguero to beast it up however for all those all care solely about fantasy points, Aguero may be a sensible choice.
My predictions this week did not go very well, mainly because I was banking on Valencia destroying Wigan like he's done before but the pressure of relegation has caused Wigan to play absolutely amazing. Song did end up getting points for an assist and 1 for the clean sheet so he did well, however if you have money go for Walcott every time. Cisse continued his unbelievable start to his Newcastle career with yet another goal, he can't be tamed. Fortune, in hindsight, was a rather silly choice but I was more hopeful that City would continue their dreadful form. Valencia and Sessegnon both disappointed as well. I don't rate Valencia very highly, I think Nani and Young are both significantly more dangerous than him however he is significantly cheaper and seems to get more points so he is the more economically viable choice for a midfielder.
