With just four rounds of matches left to be played
the second season of the FPL is drawing to a close. We could
still be in for an exciting finish although the leader doesn't
seem to be making any mistakes.
It's been an excellent effort by the chasing pack including
Ray Stirk, Keith Blyth and Richard & Geoffrey Haliday,
but I'm not sure there is enough time left for any of them
to threaten Paul Grunstein's lead. We have seen 160 bonus
points in one week already this season and if anyone in the
top ten could have a really big week then who knows.
The Week Ahead
It saddens me to say but
I can't see Newcastle getting out of trouble. I have watched
them quite a bit recently and I'm not sure I can see them
winning another game. They go to Anfield at the weekend which
will be very difficult and also have a trip to Villa which
won't be easy despite their recent loss of form.
They are now banking on their two final home games against
fellow strugglers Middlesbrough and Fulham. We were in this
position last year and somehow pulled off a great escape so
it can be done, but I fear for them.
It looks like a week where you could gamble on a few of the
results and you might get lucky. Don't write Fulham off too
soon at the Bridge. This match is sandwiched in between two
midweek Champions League matches against Barcelona so I am
expecting a slightly weakened home team.
