Gameweek 22 Fantasy Pick

2011-01-04T17:27:00.000+05:30

Hi guys! I am back!

My Fantasy Pick for GW 22:

GK: Van der Sar
Def: Rafael – Ivanovic – Baines
Mid: Adam(C) – Nani – Nasri – VDV – Barton
St: Varney – Drogba

Subs: K.Davies – Coleman – Foley – Stockdale

Stars not to opt for:

1) I did not pick Tevez as he has got a miserable record against Arsenal. Not even a single contribution so far. High risk of having him in the team.
2) Gerrard and Torres would be rested. So do not expect these two.
3) Caroll is still injured. He would need a week's time after being fit to contribute.
4) Don't expect Wigan to play well without their playmaker N'Zogbia who is suspended.
5) Rooney is a major doubt after getting a nasty kick on his ankle by Chris Brunt at West Bromwich Albion on Saturday.
6) Schwarzer is out for Asia Cup.

Hope this helps! All the best!

Gameweek 20 Fantasy Pick

2010-12-28T19:11:00.000+05:30

Hope you had a great christmas!

Four gameweeks (19,20,21,22) spanning over 10 days. Wow... some holiday treat this as long as we do not see the snow balking matches again!

Here is my pick for GW 20:

GK - Hart[Robinson]

Def - Kyrgiakos, Rafael, Onouha[]

Mid - Nani, Nasri, N'Zogbia, VDV

St - Tevez(C), Welbeck, Caroll

Gameweek 18 - Snow Plays Spoilsport

Hey there!

Bad luck for the Fantasy Premier League Managers out there. Only 3 games to be played this week and keeping my fingers crossed for the Manchester City - Everton match. If there are any managers out there who have made more than one transfers this week, they might be banging their heads on the wall. My total this week - 12 and that too made an extra tranfer - Van der vaart :( sheesh! Next time I won't be making any extra transfers during winter!

Gameweek 18 Fantasy Pick

Hey there!

I see Liverpool seeing much more action at Anfield in their next six fixtures. Home games against Fulham, Wolves, Bolton and Everton seem like point collectors considering their current home form - 4 in 4. The away games against Blackburn and Blackpool are not too bad considering Blackburn's current state of events and Blackpool being a goal scoring fixture.

Reina - GK
Sotirios Kyrgiakos/Glen Johnson - Defender
Kuyt/Gerrard - Midfielder [Don't expect Gerrard to produce this week]
Fernando Torres - Striker

Sunderland too have 4 home fixtures - Bolton, Blackpool, Blackburn and Newcastle. Since they have been defensively strong you can expect a lot of Fantasy League Managers roping in the likes of Nedum Onuoha and Phil Bardsley as they have attacking intent too!

Mignolet - GK
Onuoha/Bardsley - Defender
Welbeck/Bent/Gyan - Striker

Blackburn have 2 home games in GW 18 and 19. In GW 20 they play away to West Brom. I cannot be sure if they would follow the same defensive tactics of Big Sam. But one thing I can be sure of is Morten Gamst Pederson's involvement as he in good form. Samba can be a good attacking option at the defense.

Samba - Defender
MGP - Midfielder

Here is my pick for GW 18:

GK - Hart [Robinson/Mignolet]

Def - Onouha, Kyrgiakos, Samba [Ridgewell/Carr, Foley]

Mid - MGP, Nasri(C), N'Zogbia, Lampard/Gerrard [Nani]

St - Torres, Welbeck, Gyan

NOTE: Would have taken Tevez but considering the events that have unfolded, I decided to hold him back for another 2 weeks.

Tell me what you think.

Online Gift Shopping in India

2007-12-10T12:40:00.001+05:30

Christmas and the New Year are fast approaching and I think it's about time to go on a shopping spree and that too online! The Online Shopping craze is rising at a fast pace in India! Sites like storrz.com, a fast growing online shopping mall with a good number of brands under them, are making merry of this very fact...

There are loads of items that can be shopped for from stores like GK Vale and Ferns 'N' Petals which have been set up in storrz.com! The cameras, ipods, flowers, cakes all look very tempting! Not to forget the Jus'Trufs store! This is my favorite! They have such a good collection of chocolates that we get tempted to gift our loved ones with one of those! Well... I got to confess that I gifted my girl with their "It's U I Love" chocolates! There's a cute little teddy that comes with it! She liked it! :) The gifting page can be viewed here

What's even better is that they promise 24hrs delivery! So there's no need to wait for a week or more to get your hands on a product you have paid for! They also provide bangaloreans with the option of swiping their credit/debit cards at the door step and also using their SodexHo meal passes at the time of delivery! At least in this way we can get rid of those meal passes! ;)

Another option for bangaloreans is that they can shop for groceries online! Looks like bangaloreans neednt go out for anything other than partying!!! :)
