I need your help.

I am in a weekly comp at work which involves picking 3 players to score in the weeks fixtures. Its split in two and the first half ends next week. Its a league table and currently in joint second place, one behind the leader. Top 3 win money!
Anyway because there's a load of money riding on it i really cant decide who to go for so i thought if i asked you lot to pick 3 scorers each, i will pick the most popular choices. I have to have them in for tuesday cos thats when i finish work. fixtures below. please help me.

the only rule is that you cant pick someone who scored for you the previous week, so the player you cant pick is FRANK LAMPARD.

nice one - good shouts, see the thing is i could pick the three top scorers (defoe, rooney and drogba) but i think at least one or two of my rivals will do that and i could do without us all having the same picks so rodaellga is a great shout(y)

[Drederick Tatum]

Defoe
Bellamy
Diamanti

torres
tevez

i went with:

defoe
torres
bent

i have till thursday to change my mind but i dont think i will, it all depends on what the others around me pick so i went safe, i thought about tevez but i have no idea who mancini will pick up front, he probably will pick tevez but i cant take the chance

I'd have said Rooney, Torres and Tevez.

[Planetary]

Ermmm... Torres won't score.

[camo]

you can never tell, but he (and the squad) have something to prove this week.

[Guy Incognito]

Ermmm... Torres won't score.

haha.

tbh torres is the one i am umming about, i might go wayne yet but i think players playing at home is the way to go

ya i was going to use that as a point against bellamy. you would assume he would pick tevez, but it is a bit of a crap shoot.

I can see Drogba or Anelka banging one in against Birmingham.

apparently bellamy handed a transfer request on sunday

ok so the predictions for the final week have been finalised:

Current Standings

1. C - 25 points - has picked Drogba, Torres, Tevez
2. E -23 Points - has picked Drogba, Rooney , Bent
2. R - 23 Points - has picked Torres, Tevez, Bent
2. Me - 23 Points has picked Torres Defoe and Bent

1st Place is £200
2nd Place is £100
3rd Place is £50

but if there are ties it could be different, basically the top three will win money if say C has 26 and E &R have 25 and i get 24 i will win fuck all and e&r will share £150, lets hope that doesnt happen.
Its sad that i am going to be slightly disheartened if my favourite player scores (rooney)
