Captain Dan looks at GW11

Hey all you FIT addicts, I don't think I've ever been this nervous about anything before - this is my first ever blog, so I hope you all enjoy it. What a gameweek it was in GW10, some teams were good, some were OK, and some were really bad. But I had the best end to a horrible Saturday's football for most of my teams - the birth of my second daughter :) born at 9:10pm. But let's not look back, it's all about gameweek 11. The hardest choice for us fantasy mangers is who to pick as captain, as last season 99.9% of us had Suarez every gameweek. This season it's a totally different ball game - so here is my top 5 picks and some statistics for some of the popular choices. 1. Pelle - Southampton At the beginning of the season with Liverpool buying all of Southampton's best players - Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Dejan Lovren, we all thought, including myself, that they would struggle this season. But you never know what will happen in football and that's certainly the case with Southampton - currently in 2nd place with St Mary's a tough place to go - only conceding 1 goal at home so far this season. What a bargain they picked up in this man. 10 appearances, 6 goals and 3 assists, this player does not disappoint, and is a steal at just 8.4m. Saturday 8th November kick off 3pm Southampton v Leicester City My prediction 3-0 Southampton v Leicester City Head to head results Southampton 0 wins Leicester 2 wins Home wins 4 Home Draws 1 Home Loses 0 Goals scored 15 Conceded 1 Current league position 2nd Price tag - 8.4m Age -29 Weight 89 kg Nationality Italian Goals scored 6 Appearances 10 Assists 3 Average goals per match 0.6 2. Diafra Sakho - West Ham At the start of the season, West Ham were one of the teams that everyone had down for a relegation battle, but with Sam Alladyce signing some good players - Enner Valencia, Alex song and Diafra Sakho, they have picked up some great results and even beat the champions 2-1 in gameweek 9. They look like contenders for some more shock results and a  top 10 finish, and with this man, they sure are getting the results they so desperately need to keep the fans happy. If you're struggling for cash value in your iTeam, then this is surely a must have player. As I write this he has just returned to training. He remains a slight doubt for the weekend but I think he'll make it. Saturday 8th November kick off 3pm West Ham v Aston Villa My prediction 2-1 West Ham v Aston Villa Head to head results West Ham 2 wins draw 1 Aston Villa wins 3 Current league position 5th Home wins 3 Home draws 0 Home loses 2 Goals 8 Conceded 6 Price tag - 6.1m Age 24 Weight 79 kg Nationality Senegal Shots 18 Crosses 16 Appearances 6 + 1 substitute appearance Assists 1 Goals 6 (FiT stats are different due to the dubious goal panel) Average goals per match 0.86 3. Angel di Maria When I heard all the rumours about Man Utd trying to sign Argentine winger Angel di Maria, I thought this would never happen, but then it did, and what a signing it has been not for only Manchester United but also for us hardcore fantasy app managers. This is the type of player we have all been dreaming about in our squads and he can produce the best football you will ever see - he has a touch and eye for those deadly balls into the danger area which scare the life out of defenders. Just what football is all about! Man Utd current position 10th Saturday 8th November kick off  3pm Man Utd v Crystal Palace My prediction 2-0 Man Utd v Crystal palace Head to head results Man Utd wins 2 crystal palace wins 1 Home wins 3 Home draws 1 Home loses 1 Goals scored 10 Goals conceded 5 Age 26 Weight 71 kg Nationality Argentina Shots 18 Crosses 63 Assists 4 Goals 3 Appearances 8 Average goals per match 0.43 4. Alexis Sanchez Same as Angel di Maria, at first this was another player I thought would not come to the EPL, but he has and I'm so glad he's here. What a buy for Arsenal this was, and also for us FIT managers... As expected, he hasn't let us down at all, and with Arsenal away to Swansea this gameweek, I hope he puts 10 past them. As a Cardiff fan, there's nothing better than having a player who you have in your Fantasy iTeam scoring for fun against your bitter rivals :) Value 10.3m Arsenals Current position 4th Sunday 09 November kick off 4 pm Swansea v Arsenal My prediction 0-4 Swansea v Arsenal head to head results Swansea wins 2 draws 2 arsenal wins 4 Arsenal's Away record Away wins 2 Away draws 2 Away loses 1 Goals scored 8 Goals conceded 5 Age 25 Weight 62 kg Nationality chile Shots 21 Crosses 26 Assists 2 Goals 7 Appearances 8 Average goals per match 0.88 5. Sergio Aguero What a player he is... I don't think there is one fantasy manager out there who has never put him in there team, if you haven't, then why not? He's near 100% guaranteed to reward you with points - what a dramatic finish to the 12/13 season when he scored the winner with the last kick of the game to win Man City the EPL title. Beating there rivals Manchester United, especially when Utd thought they had done enough to win it - then this bloke popped up in injury time, literally the last kick of the game and showed why you can never give this player time and space to get his shots away. Value 11.3 m Current position 3rd Queen's Park rangers v Man City My prediction 0-3 Queen's Park rangers v Man City Head to head results Qpr wins 0 draws 1 Man City wins 3 Man city away records Away wins 3 Away draws 1 Away loses 1 Age 26 Weight 70 kg Nationality Argentina Shots 36 Crosses 3 Assists 0 Goals 67 (10 in the EPL already this season) Appearances 97 Goals per match 1 So now you have my top 5 choices, hopefully all this info will help you with that nightmare situation - who do I choose? As I have this problem most gameweeks, I say bring back Suarez and Bale and make life simple again... I hope you all enjoyed the read, I tried my best, so it's either going to be rubbish and boring, or helpful and a great read for you all :) Good luck in gameweek 11 and for the rest of your season, lets make it a good one So that's it from me... Dan the man over and out
