Premier League Fantasy Football: Who's Hot and Who's Not in Gameweek 6
It's already gameweek 5, would you believe, and here's a look at who you ought to be considering, and you should be avoided...
Goalkeepers
Who's Hot
Eldin Jakupovic - The Hull goalkeeper makes a lot of saves, and given Liverpool's propensity to fluff their lines against weaker teams, adding value-for-money Jakupovic is worth considering.
Maarten Stekelenburg - The only goal Everton have conceded since August was the result of a questionable refereeing call last week when this giant Dutchman was clearly fouled.
Who's Not
David de Gea - Whether you leave the expensive Spaniard in or out will come down to how much you trust Manchester United to keep a clean sheet when even Northampton breached their lines in midweek.
Lukasz Fabianski -
The potential for Swansea to concede a 'bucket load', so to speak, is
definitely there against a rampant Manchester City. Get rid, but only
temporarily. Bench is best.
Defenders
Who's Hot
Kyle Walker - In Middlesbrough, Spurs face a team that isn't exactly full of goals, while Walker, buoyed by a new long-term contract, will have opportunity to get forward.
Gareth McAuley - Always an attacking danger from set pieces and facing a badly wounded Stoke side who have only scored once in their last three games.
Who's Not
Nathaniel Clyne (or every Liverpool defender) - Which Liverpool is going to turn up? Even in the bigger games they've won this season, goals have still been conceded.
Jordi Amat - Surprisingly, the Swansea centre-back features in 13.5% of fantasy teams. Against Manchester City, Saturday could be a very long and fruitless day.
Midfielders
Who's Hot
Idrissa Gueye - Not an obvious one that will get you big points, but choose the Everton man if you have a tight budget and need someone to fill a hole who has been giving a steady return.
Nacer Chadli - Stoke have been so hopeless this season you would back the West Brom winger for another huge fantasy haul after last week. He is carrying a slight knock, though, so do be sure to keep an eye on that.
Who's Not
Jack Wilshere -
It might still be a little while before the Arsenal man resurrects his
career at Bournemouth. He badly struggled against Manchester City and
faces another tough opponent in Everton this time around.
Michail Antonio - There's a good chance that with West Ham's injuries, the Premier League's joint top scorer could end up forced back to right-back this weekend. Something to consider.
Forwards
Who's Hot
Marcus Rashford - It seems fairly clear now that this kid is a genuine difference maker for Manchester United. This week's opponents Leicester aren't the watertight unit they were.
Kelechi Iheanacho - Even if the talented teenager starts on the bench as a result of Sergio Aguero's return from suspension, his and City's form and has been such that he has a good chance of scoring from the bench anyway. Then again, Pep Guardiola could surprise everyone and still start him.
Who's Not
Harry Kane -
Be sure to free up those funds you have tied up in Kane if you haven't
already. The Spurs star is sidelined for up to two months and that
capital could be well invested.
Andre Gray - After much early budget promise, the Burnley striker's fantasy output has been minimal since his two goals against Liverpool in August. Facing Watford won't be easy.
To be continue
