It was quite an opening weekend for fantasy managers. Everyone's favorite projected trend - load
up on players playing against Blackpool, especially when 'pool are on the road - was about as big a
flop as something can be. Chris Kirkland owners are nodding their heads vigorously at this point
and joined to a lesser extent by those who bought in on Yayga, Boselli, N'Zogbia, Stam, and
Figueroa.
The what: Premier League, Round 2 – Wigan Athletic v. Chelsea
The where: DW Stadium (25,138)
The when: August 21, 5:15pm local time (12:15pm EST)
The how: Fox Soccer Channel (DirecTV 619, Dish Network 149)
The why: Because revenge is a dish best served by the Drogs.
It's time to consider the prospects for Wigan Athletic this season as we continue to work our
way up the table. The season marks Roberto Martinez's second full season (well at least he hopes it
will be) at the helm.
The most notable foray in to the transfer market by the Spaniard this Summer was the capture of
Mauro Boselli from Estudiantes.
