As you can see, 10 teams (Aston Villa, Birmingham, Blackburn, Chelsea, Everton, Man City, Pompey, Sunderland, West Ham and Wolves) have Double Games in  week 27. So my strategy for the week is clearly to maximise DG players.

From the single gamers, Arsenal at home to West Ham and Wigan hosting woeful Burnley standout. Fixture of the week has to be Man U-Liverpool but in FF - stay away unless you have huge dicounts.

My Week 27 Team;

Kirk

Verm     Hutton     Warnock

Milner      Malouda     AJ     Mikel

Roo     Bendtner     Drogs

Goalkeeper:

For me it was a choice of Kirk or Turnbull. Chelsea team news suggests Cech could be back for Blackburn game so at most Turnbull will play just once and maybe not at all so Kirk is the safer bet. If you have more money to spend, Fridel must be considered with two home games but I think you are better off saving money on Kirk and spend elsewhere.

Defenders:

Verm - I have @ 6 & season keeper. Hutton is a DGer, good getting forward and @ 3, is a no brainer. My final spot goes to Villa's Warnock. I wnated to get a Villa defender in my team, ideally I'd choose Dunne but I was just short of cash so went with the Ex Pool player. Others I considered were Ivanovic, JT and Jageilka.

Midfielders:

I think many of us will have the combo of AJ, Malouda and Milner. Ideally I wanted Arteta to finish the quartet but couldn't find the cash. So in the end, I've gone with a water carrier in Mikel. DGer, should start both games and @ 3 is a good filler who should return is value in pts. Others I considered were Ballack (will he start?), Zhirkov (will he score enough pts from left back without CS pts?) and AYoung (out of form) but discounted in the end.

Strikers:

Roo is a season keeper for me. Tough match up this week but I still expect a goal & 15pts from boy wonder. Bendtner is another fixture in my team. Strong match up at home to West Ham should see his recent scoring run continue. The final spot goes to the beast! Sick of betting against the Drogs so I have splashed 22% of my budget on the DGer. The only other striker I considered was Carew but to be honest I was never going to change by forward line up.

So in summary, I have 7 DGers (3 Chelsea, 2 Aston Villa, 1 from Man City and Sunderland), Sunderland with the singletons made up from 2 Arsenal, 1 Man U and 1 Wigan.

So how does my team compare to yours?

Thanks
