Players Rankings drafthound.link/fpl-strategy-r…
@drafthound
▪️GOALKEEPER

Ramsdale (4.6) [ARS]:
- Arsenals No1 & my No1
- Best budget goalkeeper, he would have been at least 5.0m if he started with Arsenal from the offset
- Set and forget
- 3 clean sheets, 3 save points
- 24 points in 4 games

Clean sheet/winning odds for next 5 games ⤵️
▪️DEFENDERS

Azpilicueta (6.1) [CHE]:
- An integral figure in Chelsea’s defence

- 10 shots and 1 big chance already this season

Clean sheet/winning odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Laporte (5.5) [MCY]:
- Forming an excellent partnership with Dias

Clean sheet/winning odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Duffy (4.4) [BRI]:
- Had a new lease of life now he’s back at Brighton this season
- Ever present in the back 3
- A huge goal threat from set pieces, corners do aim towards him regularly
- 13 shots inside the box this season!

Clean sheet/winning odds for next 5 games ⤵️
▪️MIDFIELDERS

Salah (12.5) [LIV]:
- Essential, first player in my team
- A viable captaincy option for any GW
- 70 points already (averaging 10 points a game)- way more than any other player in the league
- 61% owned!

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Raphinha (6.6) [LEE]:
- Leeds United main player
- One of the bargain players of the season
- 3 goals already, more attacking returns to come
- 19 shots including 2 big chances created

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
KDB (11.9) [MCY]:
- The MVP of Man City
- The next three games have huge potential
- Expecting goals and assists to start rolling in soon
- Only 2.2% owned therefore a huge differential

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Mbeumo (5.5) [BRE]:
- A budget OOP striker playing in a team that is improving week by week
- A cheaper alternative to Toney
- Xp 31.7 higher than his actual points (27)
- 17 Shots, including 5 big chances

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
▪️STRIKERS

Lukaku (11.7) [CHE]:
- Has a great run of fixtures ahead
- Chelsea’s main hope for scoring
- 3 goals already this season
- I predict he will outscore any other premium striker throughout October & November

Scoring/winning & 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Hwang (5.0) [WOL]:
- Forming an excellent relationship with Jimenez
- Performed ruthlessly in front of goal
- Suited to the premiership & the way Wolves play
- 3 goals & 6 BPS in the 4 games he has been involved in

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Antonio (8.0) [WHM]:
- Fixture proof & the best mid-priced forward in the game
- Difficult fixtures ahead but his form is brilliant
- 49 points in 6 games
- 27 shots, including 8 big chances (joint 1st Overall)

Scoring/winning and 3 goals or more odds for next 5 games ⤵️
Final thoughts

I have yet to decide whether I want TAA. This is easily achievable by upgrading Laporte & downgrading Antonio to Armstrong. Im also contemplating whether I want Mbeumo. I may tinker further depending on pressers but will share my final team before the deadline.

GW 7 review
 
- OR – 1.6m
 
Not a lot to review here, games got called off, so brought in Rashford with my free transfer. However since then, i have decided to activate my wildcard with the postponements and the state of my team. Im not too worried by my rank yet.
Teams to target
 
Newcastle
 
Not had the best start to the season having drawn 4 of there 6 games played. However, with a change in fixtures and some great signings, I expect Newcastle to start coming good over the coming weeks
