Tottenham’s Nacer Chadli And The 5 #FPL Players You Must Pick This Week

Nov 20

Gameweek 12

DEFENCE: Toby Alderweireld (£5.0m) – Away v Aston Villa

The Belgian defender Toby Alderweireld hasn’t received much praise for Southampton’s staggering run of form at the back – mainly because his name is difficult to spell.

He’s been excellent though, and at a cheaper price than Nathaniel Clyne, Ryan Bertrand and Jose Fonte – all of whom have a far higher percentage of ownership – then he could be worth trusting at the back as Saints go to an Aston Villa side who have infamously struggled to score of late.

MIDFIELD: Nacer Chadli (£6.7m) – Away v Hull

Spurs are still as unpredictable as ever, and the form of Nacer Chadli is something else that no-one would have foreseen following his underwhelming first season at White Hart Lane.

The Belgian has scored six goals this season to quietly become the second-highest scoring midfielder in Fantasy Premier League in 2014/15, with more points than the likes of Cesc Fabregas, Gylfi Sigurdsson and Angel Di Maria. Away at an equally unpredictable Hull, he could be worth a gamble.

FORWARD: Danny Welbeck (£7.3m) – Home v Man Utd

The twin factors of form and circumstance all point towards Danny Welbeck this weekend, with a minor injury scare apparently already shrugged off as he prepares to face the club who deemed him surplus to requirements.

A couple of goals for England will have ensured that he’s got his eye in ahead of welcoming his old friends from Manchester United to the Emirates Stadium, and given the state of their defence at the moment he’ll be more than confident of notching a goal. Whether or not he’ll celebrate it is another matter entirely.

THE OUTSIDER: Ayoze Perez (£4.9m) – Home v QPR

Its three in three now for Newcastle’s talented young Spanish attacker Ayoze Perez, who took a few weeks to get used to the pace of the Premier League but now seems determined to set it.

His delightful flicked finish in the win at West Brom last time out underlined the fact that the 21-year-old isn’t afraid to attempt what may would deem unattemptable, and at home to QPR he’s certain to get chances – both conventional and unconventional ones.

THE CAPTAIN: Diego Costa (£11.0m) – Home v West Brom

Jose Mourinho got his way and got to keep hold of Diego Costa for two weeks instead of sending him away to those nasty folk at the Spanish FA, who were obviously going to make him play whilst he’s injured – against Jose’s wishes.

You can be certain that he’ll be fit to lead the line for the Blues at home to West Brom, and you also be pretty certain that he’ll score a goal or two. Don’t miss out.

The Guys from COPA90 have just released this cracking video!! Check it out and let us know what you think

At @Copa90 we’ve been getting increasingly excited about the rise of football in the US. From the influx of world class players into the MLS, to exciting grass roots movements and the unbelievable numbers of people taking to the streets to support the USMNT during the world cup, we really believe that soccer has taken off in America.

We recently made our way to Seattle to check out the Sounders and their fans. What we found is one of the most exciting, passionate supporters’ groups in the world, and a real community that is working together to build something great.

It might just surprise a few people in Europe how big it’s getting.

Seattle Sounders have a fan base of a size and intensity to match any in the world. Eli Mengem went to meet the Emerald City Supporters, Gorilla FC and others to explore what is one of the most exciting supporter movements anywhere on earth
