Really like the look of Barry, scored 8 goals by Dec 30th last year then dried up and didn't score again.

Expecting double figures this season.

5pts e/w Barry 12/1

Know what you mean re Barry, and he is likely to be the Villa's penalty taker, but I expect him to play a more narrow role. At the start of last season he played wide left but then they signed Ashley Young and Carew and went more of a 4-3-3/4-5-1 formation with Young/Agbonlahor wide supporting Carew. Dont think its a coincidence that his goals dried up after this. This season I expect their first choice line up to be similar with Reo-Coker, Petrov and Barry in the middle. He will score a few (got two in recent friendly vs Inter) and a few penalties but I dont think he will get double figures personally.

The one I like, and have backed for small stakes, is Pederson @ Blackburn 11/1. He is a key attacking player, and he and Bentley get forward at every opportunity. He has a good shot on him, from set pieces as well, and I excpect him to get around 10 goals which should be enough for a place in this, though it does look an interesting market with plenty with chances.

i think its a specific market without those players to be deliberately open.

Hmm some very good points to think over.

Barry has scored a couple pre season, not sure which positon he was playing though.

[Densa85]

Mikael Arteta is a good choice, he takes also the penaltys of the Tofees and if he plays like last year he will score a lot more!

Also Ballack could be a possibility,he wants to stay at Chelsea and if he plays as German Captain again such a season he will get some problems here with the german newspapers!

[deeloughran]

What about Essien?? He loves to get forward, will be given his NORMAL centre midfield position (Alex and Ben Haim coming in)with Makelele behind him giving him a license to get forward and boy can he crack them (Vs Arsenal last minute)
