Breakdown of the players, let's start with the leader Vardy:
He has the best record vs opponent last 4 compared to anyone of the options this week. Ofc this is affected by his hat trick against a Southampton side with 10 - men the whole game.
Bookies rate him highly too
KDB has a really good fixture but it doesn't necessarily mean he will perform. Looking at games with similar fixture difficulty in the gameweeks between 9-11 is a good example of this (where he scored 3-6-2).
But the fact WhoScored thinks Man C will score 3 is very positive.
Salah and Mané has the toughest fixture of these lads and bookies don't like them as much as they use to. Mané has better form but Salah has better recent history vs Spurs. Salah has 2 returns in 3 games while Mané has 1 return in 3 and it was a fantasy assist.
Jimenez and Abraham doesn't stand out in any regard in the underlying stats but the bookies likes them quite well and so does foomnianalytics.

DF: Digne (£6.1m) - Not much needs to be said of the flying Frenchman's ability to provide points, having laid on 4 goals and 13 assists in his two seasons so far at the club.
Everton have a relatively comfortable run in their next 5, with 4 fixtures against teams they would be hoping to replicate their opening day clean sheet against.
MF: Havertz (£8.4m) - After a tough start, Havertz has been dumped by a lot of frustrated managers, but Lampard opted to give him a start in the Carabao cup in midweek, which may prove a master stroke as the German went on to...
DEF: Lamptey (£4.5m) - As a team, Brighton passed the eye test against Chelsea, who were hugely flattered by a 3-1 score line, and few stood out like the young right back. Playing as a RWB in front of a back 3, Lamptey had plenty of room to roam and looked lively all evening,...
...eventually nabbing an assist by providing the final pass behind Trossard’s long range equaliser.
As the new season begins I wanted to start a new series where I use my tactical knowledge as a football coach and apply it to FPL. We will take a look at the skills and roles of players and how it affects the FPL output of themselves and their teammates.
Part 1: Fulham
The majority of this thread will focus on Arsenal’s players since they are the most interesting FPL assets. But I wanted to share my view on how Fulham looked in this game to give you an idea of how they might perform this season. To summarize their attack:
