I don't know if its just me, but I'm definitely struggling to select my all conquering squad more than usual. It seems to me that the Premier League are purposely trying to make this difficult for me, what kind of organisation doesn't give you the funds to go with a front three of RVP, Rooney and Tevez without having the rest of the squad as the Norwich reserves.
My main problem is that I'm so indecisive...I find myself trying to second guess what the best managers in the country are thinking, will Chris Smalling be deployed as a full back like he was on Sunday? Will Charlie Adam get a run out in the new look Liverpool midfield? Is Fernando Torres ever going to score again? And just how bad is big fat Franks throat infection?
I've trawled the usual websites, all giving tips on who to pick and who to steer clear of, unsurprisingly most of these are the same generic players that everyone will pick. This just doesn't cut it for me though, I'm looking for that new player who no-one else will pick, a couple of years ago I started with Jaime O'Hara in my team, last year I had Charlie Adam...this year though I'm drawing a blank. A large part of me wants to back Scott Sinclair and the 6.8% of the population who have chosen him, but with two of Swansea's first four few games coming against Man City and Arsenal, I think I'll give him a couple of weeks to bed in. Similarly Adel Taarabt (picked by almost 17%), I think he could almost certainly be a relatively cheap way to rack up the points, but as I look at my squad tonight (inevitably it will have changed before Saturday) I find no surprises, no dark horses, just 11 solid, top class players with a bench that would quite frankly struggle to get into the Stockport County team.
Maybe I'll have another look before I go to bed...
