Fixtures

Below we can see the ticker in order of fixture difficulty. The teams at the top have the easiest fixtures and the teams at the bottom have the toughest fixtures.

Pedro Neto

Wolves have a great fixture this week against Luton. Although not one of the most offensively equipped sides in the league they have still managed to score in all of their last four matches – including against both Liverpool and Crystal Palace.

Luton have been poor this season and we can see that in the fact they have lost all four of their Premier League matches. The Hatters also rank amongst some of the worst teams in the division in terms of defensive data. A great enabling option to target Luton could be Pedro Neto (£5.5m). The winger has now picked up three returns on the bounce. He also leads every other player in the league for chances created (17).

Sven Botman

Newcastle face Sheffield United in Gameweek 6. They produced some of the best underlying defensive data in the league last season and this season they sit as one of the best for big chances conceded. With good fixtures come clean sheets and that is where we are headed with our next pick.

Sheffield United may have been scoring but their data suggests that they could start lacking in that department soon. When compared to all teams they rank joint worst for attempts on goal (41) and joint second worst for big chances total (six). With that in mind Sven Botman (£4.5m) could have lots of potential this week.

Crystal Palace attackers

Crystal Palace have had a mixed start to their season but still managed to find the net in five of their last six matches in all competitions. Their chances of scoring are even higher this week as they come up against Fulham.

The Cottagers rank amongst some of the worst teams in the league from a defensive point of view. In fact they sit second worst for shots on target conceded (34) and the worst for big chances conceded (20). With that in mind investing in Crystal Palace’ budget friendly attackers could bring some reward.

The standout option is Eberechi Eze who comes in at just £6.3m in the game. Eze takes his sides penalties and set pieces which gives him more routes to points than any other player in his side. Another great option could be Odsonne Edouard (£5.6m). He has started all of his teams matches so far and banked a return in three of them.
