Week 7

GOALKEEPERS

Choose 'em: Hilario (4.49) comes in for the suspended Petr Cech and even though he's a bit rubbish he's cheap enough to be very tempting - even against Liverpool. Boaz Myhill (1.00) has officially reached rock bottom, and is worth considering at home to Wigan. And there will be plenty of takers for Wayne Hennessey (4.91) as Wolves play host to Portsmouth.

Lose 'em: Also milling around the bargain basement is Paul Robinson (3.73), but Arsenal have doled out a couple of thrashings this season so you'd better stay away. Burnley have been terrific at home this season so beware Joe Hart (8.06) while The Fantasist isn't sold on Shay Given (7.86) this week.

DEFENDERS

Choose 'em: Burnley's Graham Alexander (6.04) is listed as a defender, plays in midfield and takes penalties. Tuck in. Johnny Heitinga (7.39) was cheap last week and scored 12 points. He's still cheap. He's still worth buying. And equally reasonable is Matthew Upson (7.89).

Lose 'em: Goal poacher extraordinaire Paul Scharner (9.10) is in vogue but The Fantasist fancies Hull to surprise Wigan. Maybe. Martin Skrtel (6.94) looks temptingly cheap until you see he is averaging a pathetic 1.3 points per game. And how on earth did Nemanja Vidic (11.84) get so expensive?

MIDFIELDERS

Choose 'em: Wolves' Michael Kightly (5.41) is likely to come in for the injured Segundo Castillo. Diniyar Bilyaletdinov (4.71) has a good chance of starting for injury-hit Everton against Stoke, and very cheap he is too. Andrei Ashavin (14.30) isn't too expensive. Go on, treat yourself.

Lose 'em: At the risk of having a match-winning tour de force shoved down its throat for the third week running, does anyone else think Frank Lampard (18.79) has been unusually subdued this season? And another controversial one; don't pick anyone from Manchester United's midfield. Not because they aren't good, but because you need a crystal ball to guess who is playing.

FORWARDS

Choose 'em: Wayne Rooney (17.65) has been brilliant this season and is surprisingly affordable. We like David Nugent's (7.62) chances for Burnley against Birmingham. And why not get on Alessandro Diamanti (7.97), who has had a decent start for West Ham?

Lose 'em: Fernando Torres (21.75) presents managers with a conundrum. While he is unlikely to justify his price tag at Chelsea this week, the question of whether to keep him comes down to the price at which you bought him. If his value has risen by more than 3 since you signed him, The Fantasist would sit tight. Otherwise, get rid. Emmanuel Adebayor (14.09) is back, but expensive. And Jermain Defoe (13.77) is doubtful with a hand injury.
