‘NET THE GOOD FIX AND CHILWELL’

Following a Gameweek 2 of mid-priced midfield heroes, captaincy disappointments and the loss of penalty duties for Bukayo Saka and Ollie Watkins, we enter a period of strong fixtures for Chelsea, Tottenham and Manchester City.

It ensures that names like Phil Foden, Raheem Sterling and Destiny Udogie rise up our Watchlist, with the captaincy poll dominated by Erling Haaland. And Pro Pundit Simon March explains why he believes it could be a good thing that the Norwegian is everyone’s default captain.

‘Rate My Team’ (RMT) has Haaland ranked first and Foden third-best over the next half-dozen Gameweeks, with Martin Odegaard’s spot kick success putting him ahead of team-mate Saka.

Meanwhile, the FPL Digest sees Tom back Ben Chilwell and Nicolas Jackson to do well over this upcoming period, especially with new signing Moises Caicedo set to start. Right-back Malo Gusto offers defensive coverage for the cheapest price.

The Great and the Good mentions Fabio Borges owning the hauls of both Bryan Mbeumo and Kaoru Mitoma. Brighton’s fixtures are set to worsen, so there are contrasting views on what to do with rotation victim Joao Pedro. FPL General was all set to sell, until online rumours of a Julio Enciso injury. Zophar and Lateriser will provide their week’s opinions closer to deadline.

Then there’s the Scout Squad picks, backing Bruno Fernandes’ fixture and underlying stats rather than his two blanks.
