Fantasy Football Week 20

This is my team for Week 20. Two game weekend! GO Latics!

Wayne Rooney
Rooney will play, even if Ruud is rested. You have to fancy him against West Brom and Birmingham.
vs WBA: Had a rare off day, but should make right against Birmingham.

Jason Roberts
Replaces Peter Crouch, Milan Baros and Robin van Persie. Might score in resilient Wigan displays. That I picked the Wigan front two shows how far they've come.
vs MAC: Continued his fine goalscoring form with a brace.

Ahmed Hossam Mido
Spurs have good matchups identical to United's, and Mido is tipped to start and score.
vs BRM: Only Spurs striker not to score. Could make amends against a poor WBA.

Henri Camara
Will he deliver again?
vs MAC: Delivered the winning goal.

Jimmy Bullard
Set-piece taker.
vs MAC: Did OK. But expected more. Has another chance @WHU.

Kevin Nolan
Good lineup and due a goal.
vs @SUN: Rested.

Park Ji Sung
Tough call. But Ronaldo seems to be on the subs bench most of the time, so this could be Park's time. Encouraged by his Carling Cup goalscoring display.
vs WBA: Did well and if more selfish, he'd be a better scorer.

Michael Dawson
Probably a wrong choice considering I had 1.66 units to spend. But Spurs have a good matchup. Lee might've been a better choice.
vs BRM: Was Man of the Match and did well.

Gary Neville
As long as United's newly-found solidarity manifests itself, Captain Muddle will be in my defence.
vs WBA: Provided good penetration on the right and linked up well with Park.

Tal Ben Haim
Replaces Stephane Henchoz and Lee Young Pyo. Bolton have an excellent defensive record at the Reebok. Didn't research the Israeli enough.
vs @SUN: Got the clean sheet but go booked again. Thankfully he's available for MID.

Jose Manuel Reina
He's back!
vs NUF: 12.5 pts but suffered more because of the Magpies' ineptitude.

Projected points: 171.8
Actual points: 92.5
