Gameweek 3

DEFENCE: Fabricio Coloccini, Newcastle – £4.5m (Home v Crystal Palace)

A huge haul of nine Fantasy points from Newcastle’s goalless draw at Aston Villa made Fabricio Coloccini the only winner of that game, certainly amongst all of us who had to endure watching it.

The Argentinean isn’t always the soundest Fantasy pick, but on a tough weekend to call he should marshal a United defence which stands a good chance of keeping out a Crystal Palace side now under the stewardship of Neil Warnock, whilst the Geordies have got some decent fixtures coming up too.

 

MIDFIELD: Gylfi Sigurdsson, Swansea – £6.3m (Home v West Brom)

The Iceman Gylfi Sigurdsson continues to see his price rise as his second spell at Swansea begins with a bang.

It’s West Brom at home for the Swans this week, and although that is then followed by a trip to Chelsea, the next five fixtures look pretty kind.

FORWARD: Stevan Jovetic, Manchester City – £8.0m (Home v Stoke)

After shooting down Liverpool by scoring a brace against them for third time in his career (once in this pre-season and once for Fiorentina five years ago) Stevan Jovetic is suddenly a man in form.

With Edin Dzeko not quite firing just yet it will be interesting to see what would happen if Manuel Pellegrini opted to field Jovetic upfront with Sergio Aguero. Interesting, and undoubtedly tough for Stoke City.

 

THE OUTSIDER (a player with less than 5% ownership): Cheikhou Kouyate – £5.0m (Home v Southampton)

Not so much an outsider as a way outsider, combative midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate has completed 90 minutes in both of West Ham’s game’s so far, registering an assist against Crystal Palace.

He’s not going to win you masses and masses of points, but sometimes you just want a player who you know you’ll get an honest stint out of, and the Senegalese could be your man.

 

THE CAPTAIN: Sergio Aguero, Manchester City – £12.0m (Home v Stoke)

After his brief and remarkable cameo appearance against Liverpool, surely Sergio Aguero is now ready to make his first Premier League start of the season as City host Stoke at the Etihad.

Granted, the champions face two tricky looking fixtures in the immediate aftermath of this one, but even if he’s on the bench the Argentinean has proven to be a huge goal threat when he comes on.

Can you afford to keep ignoring him?

The 5 Best Things About Premier League Week 2: Including Erik Lamela’s Tottenham Performance

Zarate Kick

We knew that Mauro Zarate would be an exciting signing for West Ham, but this?

The Argentinean’s brilliant first goal for the club has caught the imagination of the Hammers fans, and the forward has already become a favourite with those same supporters. He might even get a few to start liking Sam Allardyce.

 

Erik Lamela Isn’t Allergic To A Spurs Shirt

In other Argentinean-based news, the resurrection of Tottenham’s Erik Lamela continued with a fine display in the 4-0 win over QPR.

A year on from his £30m move from Roma, the winger finally displayed his true colours as Harry Redknapp’s men were put the sword. The beginning of a beautiful friendship?

 

Joey Barton Eats His Words

Enough said.

Ashley Young Takes Off Again

Ashley Young? Diving? Whoever would have thought it?

The Manchester United man was back doing what he does best in the draw at Sunderland, jumping into Wes Brown in his own exaggerated fashion in a desperate attempt to win a penalty.

What do you reckon? A 9? 9.5?

 

Alan Pardew

Just… Alan Pardew.

Chelsea’s Fabregas And The 5 #FPL Players You MUST Pick This Week

Chelsea-Cesc-Fabregas1

Gameweek 2

 

DEFENCE: Eric Dier, Tottenham – £5.1m (Home v QPR)

If you picked Tottenham’s Eric Dier and Hull defender James Chester as the two players who’d top score in Gameweek 1 then you really should be doing this job instead of us, and although it might look a little like we’re jumping on the bandwagon we’re backing Dier to impress again in Spurs’ first home game of the season.

The young defender will be guaranteed a start as QPR come calling to White Hart Lane, and whilst he’s already shown his prowess in front of goal, it’s his clean sheet potential which should excite here.

MIDFIELD: Cesc Fabregas, Chelsea – £9.1m (Home v Leicester)

Ah, that pass. That pass. That pass. That pass.

It was almost as if Cesc Fabregas carved his assist for Andre Schurrle at Burnley on Monday night out of stone, meticulously constructing it to look so slick and polished as it pretty much invited the German to put his side 2-1 up at Turf Moor.

He should have chances to do the same at home to Leicester.

 

FORWARD: Wilfried Bony, Swansea – £8.5m (Home v Burnley)

After playing a supporting role in last weekend’s victory over a miserable Manchester United, Wilfried Bony should be back to his goal-getting best when Swansea host Burnley at the Liberty Stadium.

On his day the Ivorian forward can be one of the best forwards in the Premier League, and against a defence which might not have recovered from coming up against Chelsea he should have some chances.

 

THE OUTSIDER (a player with less than 5% ownership): Dusan Tadic, Southampton – £7.5m (Home v West Brom)

Serbian midfielder Dusan Tadic showed enough impressive touches on his Southampton debut against Liverpool at Anfield to suggest that he’s going to be a player to look out for this season.

At £7.5m he might be a touch on the expensive side, but after topping the assists chart in the Dutch Eredivisie as well as coming fourth in the top goalscorers list (16 assists, 14 goals), and setting up Nathaniel Clyne’s goal at the Kop end, he could stand out at home to West Brom.

THE CAPTAIN: Diego Costa, Chelsea – £10.5m (Home v Leicester)

After bounding into English football with his goal at Burnley, Chelsea’s Diego Costa will now have another promoted team in his sights at Stamford Bridge.

Leicester conceded twice to Everton and everything is pointing towards another set of Blues managing even more than that on Saturday afternoon, and if they do that they you can imagine that Costa will be at the forefront of the action.
