Amr Zaki is the breakaway leader in the early stages of the FF season for Top Striker. And at only £6.2m he represents good value indeed; he is playing every minute, has 3 goals and 1 assist to his name, and perhaps more importantly is proving to be a bonus point magnet. He has earned a bonus point every week for the first three weeks, and enviable achievement that is unmatched by any other player.
Wigan also have a favourable run of fixtures ahead. Between now and December they only face one of the Big Four teams - Liverpool away on 18th Oct. The rest of the fixtures include middle-ground teams like Villa, Middlesborough and Portsmouth. Zaki's next three games are Sunderland (home), Tottenham (away), Man City (home).
Zaki's bargain price has him head and shoulders above other strikers on Value (Form), a measure of points as a ratio of player cost. Given his current form - and Wigans fixture list - it is very likely that Zaki will tuck another goal or two away in the coming weeks. And even if he doesn't get any himself, he may very well set someone else up for an assist, or draw himself a bonus point or two that the Press Association analysts seem to love giving him.
Zaki's price is set to keep rising, so picking him up at this early stage and holding him for the next 4 or 5 weeks should see a decent return on investment. It should also continue to return decent points. Definately recommended as a second striker.
Our Fantasy Picks for GW1Schmeichel Ivanovic Mertesacker Cedric Walcott Lallana Hazard Barkley Costa van-Wolfswinkel Rooney |
Leicester are a good shout to keep a clean sheet against Sunderland. Chelsea are the big guns and can't / shouldn't be overlooked. Lallana & Walcott are fantasticly good pre-season. S'hampton play the dreadful Newcastle, who will be booed off their home park in GW1. Everton are likely to put a few past Watford & Barkley is good value. van Wolfswinkel put a few away in preseason & knows where goal is. Man Utd have epic mids now, and Rooney is the sole forward. |

One correction. He was loaned for 1.4 Million pounds from Zamalek. Incase Wigan wants to sign him, they have to pay next year 4.5 Millions pound.
If Zaki scores more than 8 goals in official games for Wigan. Zamalek will be paid 500 thousands Pounds
The goals bit is a good one. I think the Zamalek fans will be hoping he scores those 8 goals.
"middle-ground teams like Villa, Middlesborough and Portsmouth"
Since when does 6th (Villa) and 8th (Portsmouth) out of 20 constitute 'middle-ground'?
That said - it's still an enjoyable read to see anothers thoughts on FFL! - keep up the blogging
