8. Prince
Those managers on a wildcard this week are scrambling for three premium defenders, with remarkable consistency. It remains to be seen whether they can sustain these levels, but the triple up is tempting!
The Premium defenders first 3 games…?
Points:
Alonso: 11+ 13 +11
Robertson: 11 + 7 + 9
Mendy: 15 + 8 + 4I'm tripling up! Who's with me? #FPL

9. Pundits
It’s not too late to board the Marcos Alonso bandwagon, according to the Fantasy Football Pundits. With an enticing trio of fixtures upcoming, his 30% ownership and price could rise rapidly in the coming weeks.
GW 1️⃣: 11pts
GW 2️⃣: 13pts
GW 3️⃣: 11ptsNext 3 fixtures:
Bournemouth (H), Cardiff (H) & West Ham (A)
Potentially rising in price tonight too…

10. Hopcroft
As managers look to load up on the big bandwagons, some are tempted to sell Mo Salah ahead of a tougher run of fixtures. Adam Hopcroft is a strong advocate of holding the most expensive player in the game, as he maintains consistency.
Salah's consistency is incredible
Average points scored last season
8.42 per game
Non top 6 home – 9.78
Non top 6 away – 8.16
Top 6 home – 9.4
Top 6 away – 4.2
18/19 so far – 8.33Even with Spurs, Chelsea and City in next 5 it would take brave man to get rid
