Prominent Number 7s in the EPL

Presenting the current crop of number 7s in the EPL – and as mentioned in our last post, the number 7s are typically midfielders renowned for their speed and creativity in the flanks.

Well … except maybe for seasoned hit-man Schevchenko, who’s more likely to pull the trigger rather than loading the ammunition!

[Top Left--Bottom Right] Tomas Rosicky (Arsenal), Cristiano Ronaldo (Man Utd), Harry Kewell (Liverpool), Joey Barton (Newcastle), Andriy Schevchenko (Chelsea), Fredrik Ljungberg (West Ham), Ashley Young (Aston Villa), Andy Van der Meyde (Everton), Brett Emerton (Blackburn), George Boateng (Middlesbrough)

The Caveman and other short stories

Yup, it’s time to get serious and start assessing your YFF squad for this week’s fixtures, so I’ve come up with a Four-part EPL Fantasy Football Guide to the 5th Week.

Firstly

Check out this Wild-looking Frenchie by the name of Sebastien Chabal. He’s one intimidating dude. They call him The Caveman:

There’s an orgy of live EPL games showing this week; be sure to check out the Game Predictions page for the Astro schedule, and of course, the game predictions from our mamak panel of football experts! You can track our game prediction record/statistics on the “Previous Game Predictions” Page.

Middlesbrough 2 – Newcastle 2

Bolton drew with Middlesbrough with their typical brand of scrappy English football.

What’s that? … Bolton is now called Newcastle?

Shut up and Touch the Monkey

The Astro EPL schedule is out, with the game predictions to follow on Friday afternoon. I’m all pumped up to discuss the latest midweek EPL headliners, some which may be significant to your YFF lineup:

Yakubu (10.81) is our numero uno talk of the town. His imminent departure from Middlesbrough will leave Gareth Southgate with one of the worst strikeforces in the Barclays English Premier League, consisting of huff-and-puff Mido (8.98), Tuncay Sanli (if you say “who?”, I say “don’t bother”), Dong-Gook Lee and Jeremie Aliadiere (pronounced Ah-Lee-Ah-Dee-Yeh). Feel free to add the Teesiders as another lousy team for this week (but don’t expect Newcastle to win that easily away from home).

I’m sickintired of hearin bout this Gabriel Heinze. I’m not even gonna bother listing his price in order to save you the trouble. Here’s the LATEST news on him. Moving on…

Did someone say Leroy Lita??

Yup, word is that he’s back from the freak injury and he’s an el cheapo at 7.88. No, I ain’t gonna vouch for him to go loco
