I'd go for Blackburn in the first, they're tough as hell to beat at home and Wigan are no great shakes away from the DW. You could play it safer and go for United but the best way to do well in these yokes is take a few risks now and again.

Everton in the second, they're in good form now and I expect they'll kick on and win a good few of their games coming up. Bolton are a good team but The Yak will cause them big trouble as he seems to be coming back to the player he used to be. I reckon Everton will beat them handy enough, probably 2-0.

bookie basher

i would pick utd against wolves but if you want to save utd for later on then i would pick blackburn, they have a good record at home against the weaker teams, for the midweek game i would definitely pick spurs, great home record & sunderland are piss poor away from home:D

Ive gone with Blackburn in the first, and Spurs in the second. Thanks for the help lads.

no panic

I would think you would be fairly safe with those selections. Going with home teams is obviously the best strategy but you won't be able to do that for too long before you run out of good options. I tend to pick the stronger teams for when they are away. If you can stay in the competition for a while, this reduces the chances of having to pick the likes of West Ham when they are away from home. Best of luck.

Good call on Blackburn PyRo.

Spurs now midweek

yeah good choices. You'd have to fancy spurs at home midweek after been beaten by bolton

And Spurs done me over again. Its always Spurs I go out on. Stupid fcuks will thrash Inter and held to a draw by the mighty Sunderland. Go on you spurs!

Sound for the help boys, appreciated

What do ye reckon for this weekend lads? Down to the last 2 people in ours both of us have the top 3 used (Arsenal, Chelsea, United) In that order!! I'm thinking Newcastle to bounce back...

Waaaay too risky in my opinion, Fulham are no slouches and I wouldn't be surprised to see them get a point or even all three.

I'd very very strongly fancy West Ham to beat Blackpool at home, the spammers are a class team on their day and I expect they'll be climbing up the table in the not to distant future. They're gelling well of late and Blackpool should struggle to get anything in such a hostile stadium where the fans are like a 12th man. I'd pick West Ham as the safest for the weekend, I have been known to be wrong though. :pac:

Best of luck dude.

Yeah i reconsidered, was close to going for Spurs as well but ended up going for West Ham, they're due a win anyway! Turns out there's 3 of us left, the 3 choices are Man City, Liverpool and West Ham
