Kick-Off)
Top 5 Picks
GK – Pickford ($4,600) his Everton side has had a very
difficult start to the season. With a win last game week against Watford they
will be hoping to carry on that winning form. Pickford has conceded the 2nd
most goals in the Premier League so far this season but he also makes a lot of
saves to keep his side in games. This week Everton travel to Crystal Palace in
another winnable game for them. Palace will have chances but I am expecting
Pickford to come out big again and he looks a great price at just $4,600 across
all games.
D- Young ($5,600) has been a relatively
cheap play since finding his way back into the Man United team at left back. He
has averaged 7.7 Fantasy points per game this season. I can see this weekend
being above that average tally at home to Newcastle. Young loves to get forward
and put in a cross and I think he will get a lot of opportunities to do that
this game week. In fact, in his last 4 games he has delivered 24 crosses, 3 of
those games being against top teams in Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea. Young
has also taken a single shot in his last four games, with 2 clean sheets in
those games also. Young is a great play for this weekend even at a slightly
higher price than usual.
M – Sigurdsson ($7,300) was the player everyone tried to fit in their team every week
last season but he has had a rough start at his new side Everton. This could be
a big weekend for him and Everton to get their confidence back in a must win
game against Crystal Palace. He has averaged 26 points in his last 4 Premier
League games but I expect him to get a lot more shots and crosses off this
Saturday. Sigurdsson has the 12th most crosses in the entire Premier
League with 53 already in 11 games.
F- Lukaku ($9,700) is this weeks forward pick as he is hard to leave out with a
home game against Newcastle. Despite his very low score of 1 in the last game
week I am expecting Lukaku to be back in goal scoring form. He has the third
most shots in the whole of the Premier League and is also third in goals
scored. This Saturday’s game will provide him with a chance to add to both of
those tally’s. Man Utd should be to good for Newcastle and I can see Lukaku
being back in the points.
Cheap Option – Carroll ($5,400) has been one of my top
played players in DFS and he hasn’t disappointed. Carroll has been taking most
of Swansea set pieces, which gives you instant points. Carroll has averaged
8.75 in his last 4 Premier League games, which is a great points tally for a
low price. Carroll’s Swansea travel to Burnley this weekend which should be an
evenly matched game but Carroll will get plenty of chances to deliver from set
plays.
