GW11 SUGGESTIONS

Brighton v Newcastle is the evening kickoff on Saturday evening. It looks like Eddie Howe is set to be confirmed as the new boss which could result in getting a few Toon players in. If so, you would definitely be looking at the Wilson Fraser double up under Howe’s tactics. Brighton on the other hand have an extremely good run of fixtures coming up and I would be looking to double up if you can. A defender like Shane Duffy or Lewis Dunk who are both effective at either ends of the pitch. Leonardo Trossard at 6.4m looks a great price especially playing as part of the front 3 in Brighton’s formation. He has accumulated a very promising 41 points so far and is only 1.8% owned. An extremely differential would be Enock Mwepu at 5.9m who scored a screamer last week against Liverpool and he could be an option to get you further higher with your rank. 

Chelsea v Burnley looks set to be another Chelsea win especially with the form they are showing. If you don’t have James or Chilwell at the moment, I would be moving mountains to get them in. They have done extremely well for me over the past few weeks, and they seem to be undroppable with their returns. However, Tuchel is prone to rotation and you could see a change over a week or so. Another assest to consider would be Havertz who is playing upfront now in an attacking team however I don’t feel he returns enough or consistent enough (my own opinion – I could be proven wrong!!) Burnley had a great win last week against high flying Brentford. Maxwel Cornet has been on my radar for a number of weeks as I know how good of a player he is through my Football Manager days. He has had a goal/assist every 76 minutes in his start to the Premier League and looks like a great option.  

Brentford v Norwich. This is a great game to maybe double/triple up in Brentford players. Norwich look like they are set for relegation at this early stage and Brentford are flying at the moment as a promoted team. Toney, Mbeumo, Pinnock or Canos would be my options to get into your team to get points.  

On Sunday we have 4 fixtures with Arsenal v Watford up first. Like I mentioned up above – Smith Rowe, Saka, Auba, Ben White or Ramsdale seem to be the best/cheap options to get in as they are playing well. A differential to consider for Arsenal would be Nuno Tavares at Left Back. Kieran Tierney is a quality player but injury prone and Tavares has started very well and you could see your rank increase with Tavares as your differential. Watford are a mixed bag – nobody seen the result coming against Everton a few weeks ago and you thought they would continue on against Southampton but lost 1-0. Your best picks for Watford would be Sarr and Dennis as they seem to be the most influential players and players who are contributing to goals and assists. 

Everton v Spurs. With Conte in and moving to a 3-5-2 with high flying wing backs you could see some players returning big hits in the upcoming weeks. Emmerson Royal seems to be the first choice RWB and Reguilion the LWB. With how high Conte wants his full backs you could definitely see an attacking return out of these two. With Conte not knowing his best team at the minute and finding out who fits in, Matt Doherty could well be back on the cards and at 4.7m he would be one to get in and get ahead of the curve. Everton are on a slippy slide at the minute. They need to get Cavert Lewin back quick to get them firing. Gray or Townsend are good options to have and at 5.8m/5.7m could be your 4th choice midfielder. 

The remaining two fixtures see Leeds v Leicester and West Ham v Liverpool. Leeds player to consider is definitely Raphinha if you don’t already have him. He is such a quality player but you hope he just can turn his ability into more goals and assists. Leeds are struggling with squad depth, injuries and without Patrick Bamford. A differential to consider would be Rodrigo. He is upfront in an attacking team and last week’s goal could see a start of a few returns. Leicester are very much up and down at the minute. They had a great win against Manchester United a few weeks ago but a bad defeat against Arsenal last week. Players to consider over the next weeks is obviously Vardy but someone to maybe think about who looks really exciting is Patson Daka. If you are top heavy in your midfield he is a great choice at 7.1m and we could definitely see some rotation with himself and Vardy in the next few weeks. 

Liverpool – what more can we say about Mo Salah? He is the FPL King. Not only is the best player in the world at the moment, he will probably go down as the best FPL player too. He needs to be in your team and on most weeks he needs to be your captain. Trent, Jota and Mane are other options to consider as Liverpool look to continue their great start to the League. West Ham have become a really good side under David Moyes. Antonio upfront has been a revelation and his the best option to have. They have a tough run of fixtures with Liverpool, Chelsea, Man City , Brighton and Wolves ahead. Some other people to consider would be Fornals and Benhrama who seem to be closest to getting attacking returns to Antonio.
