Brighton V Man City (Late Kick-Off)

The Premier League season is back and so are we. Last season saw Chelsea walk away with the League and this year looks like it could be one of the closest seasons yet. Newcastle, Brighton and Huddersfield are the new boys to the Premier League and some of their players could bring up some seriously cheap options over the season.

Top 5 Picks

GK – Forster ($5,400) this is a pick against the norm. Up against Swansea who struggled last year and who may be without their top player Gylfi Sigurdsson, Forster looks a great price. Swansea will create chances, which hopefully will lead to lots of points from saves made. Forster’s Southampton will also be the favorites for this game so the win bonus could come into play.

D- Walker ($5,400) up against new boys Brighton it is hard to look past Kyle Walker. He is well known for getting up the pitch and offering support on the attacks. Especially after his big money move to Man City he is going to want to impress in his first league game for his new club. Walker was a key part to his old team Tottenhams defense over the years and I’m sure he will have a big season this year. I feel Man City will have far too much for Brighton so hopefully Walker will get the bonus points of a clean sheet too.

M – Willian ($8,300) with Hazard out injured it is hard to leave out Willian. Willian will slot in and take the place of Hazard on free kicks and corners. He will also be playing high up the pitch and will be delivering plenty of crosses. The Premier League Champions have a nice start at home against Burnley and they will want to get this season of to a flyer.

F- Aguero/Jesus ($10,200/$9,800) who ever starts out of these two put them in your team.  Again up against new boys Brighton you can’t help but think there are going to be a lot of goals in this game. I watched Brighton in a pre-season friendly at Norwich the other week and they were woeful. I think Man City will have far to much for them and which ever striker starts is going to have many chances in front of goal. Jesus scored 7 goals in just 8 Premier League starts last season but if Pep choses Aguero simply change them over.

Cheap Option – Mooy ($4,900) of new boys Huddersfield may be seen in this section for a few weeks to come. After a fantastic season last year in the Championship Huddersfield decided to turn Mooy loan deal into a permanent one. Mooy is basically the heart of the Huddersfield side and takes the majority of Huddersfield’s corners and free kicks. At this price and against Crystal Palace it is hard not to put him in the team.

Good Luck in this weekends games. Let us know if you like the look of any other players. Post your thoughts in the comments section below.
