DF: Lucas Digne (£5.8m) - Everton's marauding LB has made his way back into the thoughts of fantasy managers once again. Conceding just 3 times in 5 games has shown the reliability of Everton's back line and Digne has registered..
...3 assists in the same period. None of Everton's last 4 opponents are in the top half of per-game goals scored or xG so there's a good chance Digne continues his solid form.
MF: Paul Pogba (£8.3m) - Perhaps difficult to fit in another Man Utd player currently (who'd have thought that nine months ago?!) but if you want a differential, Pogba is a good option...
...A goal and 2 assists in 5 games - one off the bench - is a solid return for a mid-priced midfielder and United's run continues to be enticing.
FW: Danny Ings (£7.4m) - Not much of a surprise here but some may look to sell ahead of a tough game at Old Trafford. Ings seems as fit and healthy as he has ever been and after the United game, three very enticing fixtures are on the horizon for a man who has 4 goals...
...and an assist in the five games since football resumed.

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:
