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.

Ramsdale (4.6) [ARS]:
- Arsenals No1 & my No1

- 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

- Excellent Value
- 4 clean sheets and a goal this season
Not the best week as I had a 33k drop this week, overall a decent start to the season

Since I can remember, I have always wildcarded early, I have several reasons for this, to name a few:
- Gives me a few weeks to analyse teams/players
- Have players from teams that have an easier fixture schedule to start with.....
- Allows me to start strong
- Gains momentum
- Can take short term punts where necessary
- Can jump on new signings if they start well namely (Sancho, Kane, Lukaku)
My plan is to keep it simple back the favourites to go through. The teams this round I expect to go through are:
To win%
England - 69%
Spain - 59%
Denmark - 48%
Belgium/Italy -28%/42% - will be backing Belgium in this one 👍
England
They have the best defence in the tournament – not conceded a goal and have arguably the easiest passage to the final. I would recommend 2 defenders (minimum) and I would use my quota of players from England – biggest favourites this weekend and they are heavily backed.
Thread – Players I would look to bring in for the next round of games if i was using a chip or considering my free transfers. I’ll cover defence&attack & support with Stats, form & fixtures! a full list of player returns can be found here cutt.ly/innN7Hd @drafthound
Gk/Def
England –C/S prob 58% - Tripper – on set pieces therefore could pick up Assists/Goals, scored at the last international championships!
France – C/S 55% - one of the best teams in the competition – back 5 all viable options
Ukraine – C/S 45% -underrated team, good fixture
GK/def contin.
Belgium – C/S 40% - excellent in their first game - Meunier looks certain to start after scoring and assisting in the first game - could score big again
Other notable players – Gosens, Dumfries and Spinnazola – Huge Attacking Threats
