Upcoming fixture ease
 
▪️CHELSEA
 
Chelsea are currently in the midst of a great run of fixtures. They are top of the table too, so I expect them to maintain that position over the next few GWs. Next up is bottom of the table Norwich City!

▪️BRENTFORD
 
After their loss to Leicester in GW9, Brentford go on to have a favourable run of fixtures including; Burnley, Norwich and Newcastle! They have been impressive so far this season, so I am expecting returns from some of their key players.

▪️SOUTHAMPTON
 
Their next 4 GWs are hard to ignore. There are potentially some gems in the Southampton line-up that we can all prosper from too i.e Livramento.

Players to target
 
▪️MIDFIELDERS
 
KDB (11.9) [MCY]:
- Man Citys Best player
- Every attack goes through him
- Favourable fixtures ahead
- 19 points in the last 2 games
- Only 3% owned - huge differential

Mbuemo (5.5) [BRE]:
- Playing Out of position up front
- Has been unlucky in front of goal, hit the post twice last GW
- 2 goals already this season
- xP (35) higher than actual (29)
- 3.4% owned

▪️STRIKERS
 
VARDY (10.6) [LEI]:
- The most in form striker in the league
- So consistent and Leicester’s main man
- A genuine captaincy option with 2 double digit hauls
- 7 goals in 8 games including 1 assist
- Accumulated 12 bonus points already this season
- 19% owned

Captaincy Options
 
With the potential injury of Lukaku for GW9, the captaincy is between 3 players (if you have them) -Salah, KDB and Vardy

Salah (12.8) [LIV]:
- In the form of his life
- Best player in the world right now
- Scoring goals for fun regardless of opponents
- 5 double digit hauls in 8 games inc. against MCY and CHE
 
Odds of scoring and assisting ⤵️

KDB (11.9) [MCY]:
- Playing for the best team in the league
- Scoring and assisting odds
- Brighton Away is tricky, but has been playing well since coming back from injury
 
Odds of scoring and assisting ⤵️

Vardy (10.6)[LEI]
- he is proving to be so consistent and is an excellent replacement for Lukaku (if lukaku is out for the medium term)
- rested over midweek, so should be fully raring to go this weekend
- 8 returns already this season

Odds of scoring and assisting ⤵️

Preview of my Team
 
Broja impressed last GW. At 5.0, I may transfer him for Armstrong. This will give me 1.0 to potentially upgrade in other areas in later weeks. My captain was going to be Lukaku, however with his injury, I am leaning on putting it on the dependable Mo Salah.
