Gameweek 30 Preview


Alright, hopefully we all got through week 29 unscathed and are ready to start milking the points with all the double gameweeks coming up. In summary, the doubles are below which need to be considered when planning your transfers:
  • GW30 - Ast and Wig
  • GW31 - Ast, Bir, Bla, Che, Eve, MNC, Por, Sun, WH and Wol
  • GW34 - Ful and Sto
There are also a number of games that are yet to be re-scheduled so the rewards will be even greater in the coming weeks. The side that springs out is Villa who face 4 sides in the bottom half of the table, 3 of which average less than a goal a game at the venue Villa face them (home/away) and 2 of which concede more than 2 a game in the venue Villa face them. In short, buy as many Villa as you can! I currently own zero but am contemplating a 4 or 8 point hit in order to maximise the spoils. Be careful not to transfer out a player with a double next week though as that will make it tough for you to realise a gain on your 4 point investment.

Clean Sheet Rankings
  1. Aston Villa
  2. Tottenham
  3. Liverpool
  4. Man Utd
  5. Birmingham
  6. Chelsea
  7. Wigan
  8. Burnley
  9. Stoke
  10. Sunderland
  11. Everton
  12. Arsenal
  13. Bolton
  14. Man City
  15. Wolves
  16. Hull
  17. Fulham
  18. Portsmouth
  19. West Ham
  20. Blackburn
Captain Rankings
  1. James Milner
  2. Gabriel Agbonlahor
  3. Jermaine Defoe
  4. Fernando Torres
  5. Wayne Rooney
  6. Richard Dunne
  7. Ashley Young
  8. Didier Drogba
  9. Frank Lampard
  10. Charles N'Zogbia
Obviously Villa players dominate the rankings this week though excellent fixtures for Spurs and Liverpool along with Rooney's insane form ensure that the top 5 is still a mix from different teams. I imagine alot of managers will go with Dunne or Milner this week so Agbonlahor could be a sneaky differentiator who is almost certain to get a goal or two in the next couple of gameweeks.
