After last week’s fail of Emmanuel Adebayor at Villa Park we
get back on the donkey and search for more fantasy premier league points. (We aren’t
picking Ade again though!)
Looking through the fixtures and potential david vs goliath
battles sees us travel to Loftus Road and the visit of the champions. With
talisman Vincent Kompany ruled out and Manchester City going through what only
can be described as a sticky patch QPR have shown a recent upturn in form and
they won’t make it easy for city to dominate the game and take all three points
back to Manchester.
Looking at Austin’s ownership he comes in at 1.1% and valued
at 5.7m he definitely offers a differential to all those Berahino/Sakho owners
out there. You may be surprised that after a recent excellent points return
over the last three games that Austin is the 6th highest scoring
forward in FPL this season on 44 points tied with Ulloa with only the two
aforementioned players and the heavy hitting Aguero, Costa and Pelle surpassing
the QPR man. Austin has returned points in 4 of the last five gameweeks and 3
goals in 2 outings so is a man on a hot streak!
After the visit of city the next six fixtures look fairly
bright with the schedule looking like this:
new, LEI, swa, BUR, eve, WBA
That run is followed by a trip to the Emirates but they don’t
face Arsenal till boxing day and that’s gameweek 18. With the recent form
improved and a run of fixtures that offers potential for a decent return of
points Austin could be someone that goes under the radar for a few more weeks
yet!
