TAC's Fantasy Football Tips : 5 Signings You Need to Make

<prelude beings>

I have noticed that in the last few day people seem have started playing football and tweeting and fighting and that funny stuff again - so  I thought it might be prudent to start writing things about these things again.

Yes that is correct. They All Count is back. Back in supreme literary form.


<prelude ends>

Let me first start by saying - "how much bloody fun is Fantasy Football?" The answer to that obviously is loads. Loads of bloody fun.

If there is a better way to waste time at work, amuse yourself while sitting on the toilet or actually enjoy the games towards the end of MOTD where nothing really happens - well, I frankly don't care to hear about it.

So with the first weekend of Premiership action complete, with plenty of predictable and some slightly less than predictable performances, goals and cards - how is your fantasy football team looking? Well if its anything like mine (Gervinho - y u hav no end product? y u slap Joey Barton? y?) it probably needs some wholesale changes.

And what better time to do it than this week, as www.fantasy.premierleague.com have announced that because of the websites troubles at the weekend which prevented many from signing up before the deadline, we can all have a week of unlimited free transfers. This is particularly useful as this weekends results and performances have allowed for a slightly more insightful selection process.

So assuming that you all use www.fantasy.premierleague.com I have put together a list of 5 players that I strongly reccomend you purchase. No big suprises to most of you I am sure, but hopefully selections that might help someone, somewhere, somehow.

1. Sergio Aguero - Man City - 11million

Lets start off with a no-brainer. Even before last nights display, Sergio 'Kun' Aguero should have been high up your wishlist of fantasy signings. Yes, against tougher opposition he is unlikely to be as rampant as he was against Swansea (check the video below), but there is no doubt this boy has goals in him. 20 goals in 32 appearances for Atletico last season is a good indication - and with Dzeko holding up the ball and playing him on, Silva slotting balls from midfield and (perhaps) his fellow countryman Blanka (sorry, Tevez) alongside him, I personally cannot wait to see him terrorise the Premiership. 11 million might seem steep now, but it will only increase, mark my words.



2. Phil Jones - Man Utd - 5.5million

With Ferdinand out, probably forever and Vidic also injured, it looks like Fergie may well be blooding Phil Jones at centre back sooner than he may have liked, or expected. There are questions as to whether he may start Smalling and Evans above Jones, but I think this is unlikely. Jones has looked assured when called upon for Utd so far this season and I beleive we can expect to see him start against Tottenham. At only 5.5 million Jones is certainly one to get in your squad now, even as a benchwarmer, as his price will only increase.  I also have a sneaking suspicion he is going to get goals, so yeah - you heard it here first.

3. Luis Suarez - Liverpool - 9.5

Suarez will score lots of goals. That is pretty much all you need to know. Sure he will dive a bit, but he is one of those players who will terrorise a defence untill they simply turn around and kick the ball in their own net in the hope that he just bloody well leaves them alone. He will score at least two against Arsenal.

4. Victor Moses - Wigan - 5.5million

Being as Martinez seems to have taken a disliking to Rodallega, leaving with little in the way of goal scorers, we should see a Victor Moses who is not only playing regularly, adequately replacing Charles N'Zogbia, pushed further forward but also scoring goals. How could you not put him in your team when he only costs 5.5million and even at this early stage of the season has a youtube video of him titled 'Victor Moses Messi Run'




5. David Luiz - Chelsea - 6.5million

As the only player whose movement I correctly predicted in my 5 Transfers that will happen in the January transfer window David Luiz has unfortunately had to miss the beginning of the season due to a knee injury. This is a shame, and hopefully only a temporary blip, as  Luiz is exactly the sort of interesting, marauding centre back that I love to watch and oh yes, he has that magical fantasy football factor, he is a defender that loves a goal.



Grab him now before he comes back from injury and get it him for the bargain price of 6.5million, in a defence that keeps a good amount of clean sheets.
 
Well I hope that helped.
