AM's Week 29 Player Picks

Welcome to Week 29 of my player picks for the Yahoo Fantasy Premier League game, as we're treated to a full round of ten fixtures across Saturday, Sunday and Monday. Before I begin please note The Rotoworld Cup 4th Round results (from last week) are due and will be published over the weekend. Good luck if you're still involved in the competition.

You find me in a particularly good mood after an excellent Week 28. Not only did Tottenham bounce back from Cup final heartache with two massive wins to stay in the hunt for a Champions League spot, but my Yahoo fantasy team AM FC had its best game-week of the season.

When only two teams are playing two games I always advise readers to invest heavily in "double gamers", and I apologise for not being available to reiterate this last week. By taking this approach you give yourself two shots at success while also playing the averages. If a player averages six fantasy points per game then the chances are you wouldn't be interested in him in a regular week, but if he's playing twice this equates to the possibility of 12 points if he matches his regular contributions, and there's always a chance this is exceeded when a player has two bites at the cherry. This is why Ryan Mason and Matt Phillips should've been high on your list of considerations for Week 28, especially with prices tags below £6million.

AM FC was filled with eight double gamers - Hugo Lloris, Jan Vertonghen, Yun Suk-young, Mason, Phillips, Christian Eriksen, Charlie Austin and Harry Kane - and was rewarded with a season high 181 points for the week to move up from 2300th to 1003rd overall. We have another double week later in the season (for Chelsea and Leicester) and so I'll hammer home this advice when the time comes. The strategy doesn't guarantee 100% success (see my selection of QPR's Yun Suk-young) but you're giving yourself the best opportunity of a massive weekly total.
