Top 5 Picks

GK – Schmeichel ($4,800) was up against it last weekend making 3 saves and conceding twice against Chelsea. This week he faces Huddersfield away who have been playing very well of late. I think Schmeichel is a great play at this price. Huddersfield create a lot of opportunities and are not afraid to have a shot so I expect Schmeichel to have saves to make whilst I also expect Leicester to come out with the win.

D- Robertson ($5,600) or Moreno ($5,000) which ever one of these two starts at left back for Liverpool I will have in my team.  Robertson had a great game out against Palace where he had 2 shots 1 of which was on goal and delivered 10 crosses.  Moreno who had a shocker of a season last year is back in favor at Liverpool at the moment. During the midweek Champions League game he assisted a goal and played most of the night high up the pitch. Whichever one of these two who play at the weekend will certainly be getting forward at every opportunity.

M – Salah ($8,800) has been one of the standout players of the season so far in the Premier League. His pace is frightening and tearing up many Premier League defenses. With Mane out through suspension, Salah is expected to take a much bigger role, which could lead to him taking more set pieces and more chances going through him.  Liverpool have a favorable match up against Burnley on Saturday.

F- Kane ($11,000) this man is the first name on my lineup this week. Despite the hefty price tag it is hard to leave him out. After a very poor start to the season Kane has now hit top form. In his last four games for club and country Kane has scored 6 goals in 4 matches. After scoring 2 in Wednesday night’s game against Dortmund I fully expect him to be on the score sheet against Swansea.

Cheap Option – Shelvey ($4,200) there really isn’t many bargain options this game week.  After letting his side down by getting sent off in his last game he will have a point to prove. Shelvey takes a majority of the Newcastle set pieces which will give him another chance to get reasonable points at this price.

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.
