da apostaganha: The Easter schedule may not be as hectic as the Christmas period but rest assured, due to its proximity to the end of the season, it retains plenty of importance. What’s more there are valuable points on offer in Fantasy Football. Which players though should you be looking to include?
da bet7k: The Captaincy Debate
One player in fine form is Newcastle’s Papiss Demba Cissé. The Senegalese forward, signed from Freiburg in January, has been on a terrific goal scoring run for the Magpies. In his first seven performances in the Premier League, he’s netted seven times, including a double against Liverpool last Sunday. Over the next five days, Cissé faces Swansea and Bolton and he’s likely to extend his good start to life with the Toon.
Cissé isn’t the only January signing from the Bundesliga who has flourished since arriving in the Premier League. Gylfi Sigurdsson’s loan move to Swansea is proving to be very successful. The Icelandic international has scored six times and laid on three for teammates during his time with the Swans. He was even named the Barclays Player of the Month for March further showcasing his credentials. Newcastle will by no means be an easy encounter nor will QPR with the way they’re scrapping for survival. However, it’s hard not to fancy Sigurdsson making some sort of impact in both games such is the form he’s in.
Form is something which Liverpool have struggled for of late. The Reds have lost six of their last seven games in the Premier league. Steven Gerrard will be looking to arrest this slump over Easter. The Liverpool Captain masterminded their only victory of late. He scored a hat-trick in a 3-0 success over Merseyside rivals Everton. Kenny Dalglish could do with similar heroics from his skipper against Aston Villa and Blackburn. He is the most likely player to lift the side from their recent run and facing two sides who are struggling might bring the best out of Gerrard, just when Liverpool need it.
However, do not discount the Ecuadorian genius that is Antonio Valencia. The winger has helped to give Manchester United an extra push since returning from injury in March. In three games against Wolves, Fulham and Blackburn, Valencia has scored two along with grabbing three assists. Considering that he’ll be playing QPR and his former club Wigan over the Easter period, Valencia looks a good pick for the Easter schedule.
The Captain: Antonio Valencia – The winger has been in fine form of late and Easter might well prove a prolific time for the Ecuadorian.
The Vice Captain: Papiss Demba Cissé – Cissé is a good player to have in reserve. Ensure at the very least you have the Senegalese in your team.
