Liv / Wol players are no brainers since they feature in GW31. But since there's no other teams that we like in 31, we have taken a look at the rest of the season as a whole when considering players & fixtures. #FPL
🔱Defender: Maguire. (5.3£)
4 clean sheets in 5 games and United look a totally different side with Bruno Fernandes in midfield.
AWB is at the same price and there's not much in it.
Great run of fixtures upcoming after the blank and Maguire could easily pick up a goal or two from Fernandes' accurate set pieces to give him some big ceilings upcoming.
🦁Midfielder: Mount. (6.1£)
Has actually posted relatively consistent numbers despite his long goal drought, taking at least 2 shots per game in 8 of his last 9 starts but seems to have some confidence back with a regular place in the team and is thriving in the #8 position.
Price has dropped all the way back to £6.1m so a decent budget option - though beware of the fact that he has been flagged at 75%.
🇬🇦Forward: Aubameyang (11.1£)
This isn't the hottest take but if he blanks at City many will be frustrated with a DGW score of 4 and may be tempted to move him on with an away game and a blank looming - especially with Vardy potentially back on form.
However, no other fit forward has 4 goals in their last 5 games and this should be considered a blip. And with Norwich at home next up after the blank, it could be foolish to move him on now.

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:
