If the same fixtures last year are anything to go by, we could be potentially in for a weekend full of goals. The early kick off this week see’s Spurs travel to Selhurst Park. Spurs are yet to concede a goal in their first three fixtures while Veira’s side picked up their first goal and point of the season. Lloris (£5.6m) receiving the most points for the goal keepers with 27 points to date. In front of him he has 3 low budget defenders in Dier (£4.6m), Sánchez (£4.5m) and Tanganga (£4.6m). Dier looking the most promising to play weekly with Sánchez unable to play until the 19th September with quarantine rules. Crystal Palace man Conor Gallagher (£5.5m) impressively got his sides first and only 2 goals of the season last week, a very attractive price for a midfielder who is going to play weekly. Can Kane (£12.3m) find his form again after an impressive international break, especially when his partner Son (£10.1m) is a doubt with a calf injury.

Seems strange saying this but the bottom of the table clash between Arsenal and Norwich both fighting it out to try and get their first points of the season is a potential fixture FPL managers may aim to target to gain points on their friends. In the Gunners defence they have faced the two favourites for the league in their opening 3 fixtures, they have a nice run off fixtures ahead of them. If you are looking for players to fill your remaining bank balance under £5.5m then potentially Tierney (£4.9m), Smith Rowe (£5.4m) and Martinelli (£5.4m) could be worth your while. 

Leicester entertains the champions with both teams sitting on 2 wins. Now there is talk of Ederson and Gabriel Jesus potentially being suspended by FIFA along with a selection of other Premier League players who were told they were not allowed to travel on international duty. Even with the absences of these players I still think City will have too much for Leicester. Ferran Torres (£7.1m) seems to be the hot topic of a lot of FPL managers on twitter over the past week. His low price for a midfielder for a player that has been playing as a striker the first 3 games is very appealing. It also helps that City failed to bring in a recognised striker during the transfer window and Pep seems to fancy Jesus(£8.6m) more of a wide player this season. 

Man United vs Newcastle, Ronaldo’s (£12.5m) return. Surely it won’t be a fairy-tale homecoming! Question is will he start or will he be introduced to the 75,000 crowd at the 60th minute. Either way I think he will feature this year. Is he worth his value at the age of 36? We all seen what he did to Ireland last week to gain the record as the top scorer in the history of men’s international football. He also out scored Chelsea’s Lukaku when the pair played in Italy last season. The struggle of getting Ronaldo in is do you sacrifice the trustworthy Bruno Fernandes (£12m)? Which asks my next question, who takes the Penalty on Saturday if there is one? By mast majority taking Bruno out to make way for other players it may be a good opportunity to gain some points on people. When the two sides played last year, they scored a combined 9 goals over the two fixtures with Bruno scoring two out of the United’s 7 goals.

The late kick off on Saturday see’s Chelsea welcome Aston Villa to Stamford bridge. After having a pointless GW against Liverpool Lukaku is in doubt with a Thigh injury. Manager’s may ask themselves the question could his funds be useful elsewhere for a Ronaldo or possibly Harry Kane? Chelsea is a tricky team to guess who’s going to pick up the points for them as they are normally well spread out around the team. At the moment their standout point scores are coming from their two full backs. Alonso (£5.7m) the top scorer of points in the squad keeping Chilwell on the bench, followed by James (£5.6m) in second who is facing suspension after his red card against Liverpool. I can’t see anything less than a Chelsea win if Lukaku starts, if not I could possibly see Villa maybe sneaking a point with Danny Ings (£8m) influence. 

I want to give a special mention too Wolves, they were very unlucky not to take something from United last day out. Their next 11 fixtures look really appealing with their toughest game looking like Everton at home. I think this week against Watford could be the start of a run of form for them. Semedo (£4.9m) playing as an attacking wing back in a back 5 is someone who catches my eye, aswell as Marcel (£4.5m) on the other wing, both at reasonable prices. Traoré (£6m) another player who looks good for his value, although, how do I put this. I’ve never seen such a talented attacking player with feet on him like a 90’s CB. For that reason, I don’t know if I can give him my full trust. 

The last of the tasty fixtures of the weekend is Liverpool vs Leeds. Two teams passionately known for their full out attacking ability. With last year producing an aggerated score of 5-4 Liverpool. With Firmino’s injury it nearly but almost confirms Jota (£7.6m) leading the line for the reds, with an impressive start to the season as it is. He’s a great price like Torres at City, a midfielder with will be playing in a striker’s position. If you haven’t got him in your team, he is definitely someone to consider especially with Liverpool’s next 3 fixtures. For Leeds it looks like they may be without Raphinha (£6.5m) but we may see the debut of Daniel James (£6m) who picked up a few goals for United at his time there but maybe this new style of play from Leeds may suit the Welsh man better.
