There is an international break looming but before you don your patriotic hat of choice there is still game-week 7 of the fantasy premier league to contend with. Last weekend saw Aaron Ramsey and Wayne Rooney disappoint due to injuries and red card and it was no surprise to see them transferred out by over 598,000 and 900,000 respectively.
Ahead of this weekend’s game-week, Trev Keane from Fanfeud.co.uk, the daily fantasy football game picks his “must have” three players that could make a difference.
With Rooney suspended, fantasy managers everywhere have been scrambling around looking for a replacement. The most obvious choice would appear to be Diego Costa but with his value soaring, not to mention the fact that over 64% of FPL managers have him, there is not much of a differential there. Outside of the big names, one striker that has been in fine if somewhat unnoticed form, is EDIN DZEKO. Currently owed by 8.6% of managers, he already 24 points, half the total of Costa but 13 of those came last weekend at Hull, suggesting that he is about to him some serious form. Looking ahead at City’s upcoming fixtures, they face Villa, Spurs, West Ham and Man United in their next four games.
If you have the luxury of 2 free transfers and in addition to you want to replace Ramsey, it might be no harm this stage to have a look at MILE JEDINAK. Jedinak who you say?
Ten points last weekend for the Crystal Palace player saw him emerge as a serious contender for the fourth and fifth choice midfield spots in the teams. The goal against Leicester was his second in succession following a penalty against Everton. That means he has picked up 18 points in two games. He is currently owed by 2.2% of teams and have a value of £4.9 million. Palace has been in good form of late and they travel to a Hull side that has been conceding goals for fun so far this season.
Last but not least, WEST HAM at home to QPR this weekend and given that the Hoops have conceded 10 goals on the road the Hammers are a good bet to score this week. If they do chances are it could be DIAFRA SAKHO. The striker has 21 points to his name this season already, is owed by 0.6% of teams and has scored 3 Premier League goals this season.
