Welcome to the Chilli Guide - our weekly guide to which golfers you should be looking to bring into your team and who you should be avoiding. "Who decides on the 'chillis' and 'chillys'?", you may ask. You do - the guide is based on the number of times each golfer is transferred in and out by Fantasy League Golf captains.
From now until the end of the competition, we'll be providing a weekly run-down every Wednesday of some of the players who are being shipped in and out of Fantasy League Golf teams during the last seven days.
Please note that the Fantasy League Golf Chilli Guide will not be updated whilst Mr Green is on holiday (Week 7 - HP Byron Nelson Championship). Sorry for any inconvenience caused.
Chillis:

Lee Westwood (Europe - $4.0m)
Lee Westwood will be entering this week's double-weighted Players Championship sky-high on confidence after rounds of 68 and 66 over the weekend in last week's Wells Fargo Championship. Indeed, Westwood only sneaked into the final 36 holes by a single shot, but finished in a share of fifth. The world number three finished joint fourth in his last appearance at TPC Sawgrass in 2010.
Jim Furyk (USA - $2.0m)
Florida resident Jim Furyk is as familiar with TPC Sawgrass as anyone in the field and the layout will again be suited to his strengths. After winning the FedEx Cup play-offs in 2010, Furyk had a disappointing following year, but has shown encouraging form in recent weeks with four top 20 finishes in his last five events, including a joint second place at the Transitions Championship.

Geoff Ogilvy (Rest of the World - $1.2m)
Australian Geoff Ogilvy has had his share of injury issues in the last 18 months and has slipped down to 49th in the Official World Golf Rankings as a result. Although there are glimpses of a return to form - as highlighted by a third round 65 in last week's Wells Fargo Championship - he is struggling to put four decent rounds togther, thus explaining why he has yet to achieve a single top 10 finish in 2012.
Chillys:

KJ Choi (Rest of the World - $2.3m)
KJ Choi may be the defending champion for this week's Players Championship, but very few are expecting him to repeat his exploits of 12 months ago. Indeed, no player has ever achieved back-to-back victories at TPC Sawgrass and there is little to suggest in the Korean's recent results that this is likely to change this week.

Brandt Snedeker (USA - $2.3m)
Short stick specialist Brandt Snedeker has risen up the ranks in recent months and now lies in 14th place in the Official World Golf Rankings and is a likely member of the US Ryder Cup team later this year. Snedeker finished inside the top 20 in both of his last two events, but has not played since the RBC Heritage due to slight injury concerns.
Ian Poulter (Europe - $2.2m)
It is a massive surprise to see Ian Poulter so unpopular amongst Fantasy League Golf captains coming into this week's Players Championship. Poulter finished runner-up in the event in 2009 and his accurate long game together with his superb short game skills should be an ideal match for the challenge of TPC Sawgrass.
