Fantasy Premier League

The Premier League is back this weekend! Here are our picks for who you need, who you should drop and an Irish player to drive your team up the ...

The Portuguese winger is Wolves' highest-scoring outfield player, with 68 points scored to date, with 24 of those points coming in the last five gameweeks. Up top, Eddie Nketiah and Harry Kane were on target, while the decision to captain Erling Haaland paid off with a 34-point return after his hat-trick. Podence managed just two goals across his first 15 league games but has now hit three in his last five appearances, including crucial strikes in wins over fellow relegation-threatened sides Everton and West Ham. It’s hard to look past Haaland for the armband again this weekend. Collins is also Wolves’ second-highest-scoring defender so far this season with 42 points. He’s also added a further six goals and four assists across seven cup games this term. The Premier League is back this weekend! This week’s second must-have is another United player. After a stunning run of seven goals across seven games before the World Cup break, the winger has failed to find the net in his last four starts, leading to almost 600,000 users dropping him this week. The winger has hit five goals in his last six league appearances, more than he managed in the whole of last season. His 19 points in double gameweek 20 were also more than double that of any of his teammates, with over half a million users adding him to their sides this week. With the Portuguese enjoying his best run of form this season, and United facing a double game week, Fernandes is a must-have this week.

and more!](/register/) Joao Felix (£7.5m) should also be back soon so in terms of actual talent and flair, this might be one of the best XIs we have had for a while. First off, we have to accept that there is nobody in the Man City backline except Ederson (£5.4m) we can say with certainty will start every game when the UEFA Champions League resumes. There is still a bit of a void in the striker position though, so I’m hoping Kai Havertz (£7.8m), Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang (£8.5m) or even Joao Felix (£7.5m) can step up. I think Haaland, De Bruyne and Riyad Mahrez (£7.7m) are the ideal three Man City players for their Double Gameweek 23 so I like those moves. A: The Miguel Almiron (£5.8m) to Fernandes move, funded by Kane to Nketiah, are my likely transfers this week. I would have liked to see a few players sold to balance out the books and the humongous squad we have. The alternative cash cow is of course the move to downgrade Harry Kane (£11.7m). Both Rashford in Gameweek 22 and Erling Haaland (£12.2m) in Gameweek 23 are perfectly good options and there is no clear ‘better’ pick between the two in my opinion, it just depends on what emphasis you place on form/fixtures and the player. A: Manchester United’s blank in Gameweek 25 means that we will likely want to get rid of at least one of their assets in the, so the third player you bring in alongside Marcus Rashford (£7.2m) and a defender is likely going to make way in a few weeks. This is unless you plan to captain Fernandes or have a very stable team in terms of Man City/Arsenal players. There are enough points over the next three to four Gameweeks to justify the move.

The Portuguese midfielder could seem costly for his whole factors outlay this season (£9.9m for 87 factors), however Fernandes’ current kind and a Manchester United double gameweek must be sufficient to justify contemplating bringing the talisman in. Those stats, coupled with a double gameweek towards two leaky defences (Crystal Palace and Leeds United), ought to equal a wholesome factors tally for the Manchester United man come the tip of the week. His factors tally is the second-highest in all the league, with solely Erling Haaland (who is strictly double the value of Trippier), forward of him.
