It is another action packed weekend with the cash rich rivals Manchester City and Chelsea going head to head on Super Sunday action. Rafa Benitez is back and so is the mind games with Sir Alex. Mark Hughes is finally sacked while Reading have broken their duck with a hard fought win over Everton. Spurs will need no motivation given their derby drubbing to get back to winning ways when they take on West Ham in the London derby. Game week 13 promises an action packed weekend and here are some quick player reminders (apart from the regular stars) to add to the last two weeks list to finalize your team.
The big Belgian center forward has taken off at Aston Villa and is a night mare for defenders. At 6 ft 3in, he is powerful (Smalling would vouch for that !!) and well suited for the premier league. Arsenal have generally had a tough time against big towering center forwards so he should be a handy pick this weekend playing at home. He has scored 4 goals so far but a threat throughout the game. Price: 6.5
Arouna Kone could also be handy pick this weekend with Reading at home. Refer to my previous post for more info on him.
The Scottish international is into his fifth season at West Brom. The attacking midfielder is in fine form this season and has already scored 3 goals this season (last season tally was 5) primarily because he has been playing in a more attacking role this season.He is an excellent header of the ball and can also strike the ball well. He gets into good goal scoring positions and can also play a holding role in the midfield. Price: 6.3 Opponents: Sunderland (A)
The Scottish attacking midfielder has adapted to his new home at Wigan. This season the former Celtic player, who is known perform inconsistently, has carried on his excellent last season form with Wigan. He is a constant threat in the midfield and can play as a striker also. He can turn the game with a moment of magic and is quick. He is a cheap buying option with a price tag of 5. Opponents: Reading (H)
It has been a tough start for defenders this season in the EPL with a lot of goals being scored. Stoke City, however, have gone about their task as usual with a tough to beat approach with 5 clean sheets this season. And Ryan Shawcross is doing his England chances no good with solid performances at the back. It has not gone unnoticed as Stoke city is desperate to tie him to a new deal. The former Manchester United player is a no nonsense defender who can chip in with an odd goal. Price: 5. Opponents: Fulham (H)
Stoke City, West Brom and West Ham are good bets for getting points in defense this season.
Adding to the last couple of weeks of player information on the blog here, go ahead and get your team right for the game week. Let your team rock this weekend and may you gloat over your friends !!!!

The Bosnian goal keeper has been consistent this season at goal and has a tight defense in front of him. Having replaced Sorenson in goal and made peace with Pulis over his alleged refusal to play a game for Stoke, he has become a regular for Stoke city. He is a safe bet given the Stoke City way to play tight and give team a tough time to score goals.
Price: 5.1 Opponents: Fulham (H)
