PSL Tips Part 1
Goalkeepers
Goalkeepers are quite often the most ignored players in Fantasy football. Now I don't have ant stats on me, but if I did have some stats on me, they would have proved that Goalkeepers are the least Tranfered players in a team. You chose them and generally stick with 'em.. Unless ofcourse there's a long term injury.
And thats quite a sensible thing to do, if you ask me. Afterall you only have one free transfer every week (additional transfers cost 4 points), why not use them on a Ronaldo or a Gerrard? Quite frankly, goalkeepers are as good as the overall defence. So a Reina or a Van Der Sar might get you a clean sheet.. without even touching the ball.
So here are some options you might look at:-
High Budget - Price = 6+
1. Reina - Liverpool
2. James - Portsmouth
(worth 6 mil each)
Mid Budget - Price = 5-6
1. Friedel (5.5) - Blackburn
2. Howard (5.5) - Everton
Cheap
1. Jaaskelainen (4.5) - Bolton
2. Schwarzer (4) - Fulham
People usually follow 3 common startegies while choosing Goalkeepers:-
1. Pick one Good Keeper (and a really cheap keeper), and forget about it.
A very common ploy. Chose a Reina and a Schwarzer. Play Reina in all the matches (unless Fulham plays one of the Newbies), and concentrate on the other players.
2. Pick two Mid-Priced Goalkeeper
This is the one I usually follow. Two decent goalkeeper ( with Howard as one of them) and rotate them depending on who has a home/easy game.
3. Buy Cheaps.. Spend on Strikers.
Simple, buy 2 cheap goalies.. strenghten your midfield and attack. Rotate the 2 goalies...
