It’s the new year, the new you. You are going to be brave
and seize opportunity when it appears at your door. There’s a wildcard upon us
and your feeling brave with your last few transfers before your squad gets
revamped for the second half of the battle.
This week we look to one of the FPLs most coveted strikers
but injury has seen his selection diminish over the last few months. Benteke
currently is owned by just 2.1% of the game. That has risen by 1.0% over the
past week and with two strong fixtures ahead with managerless Crystal Palace
visiting Villa Park followed by a trip to the King Power in game week 21 to
face Leicester.
Villa will need some points from these fixtures and will
hope to capitalise on a Palace side awaiting the appointment of Pardew who may
of taken their eye off the ball for a week under the stewardship of Keith
Millen who has had mixed results in his brief managerial tenures.
Benteke on his day is more than a handful for the best
defences in the league so if he can turn it on he can definitely be in the
points in this game. Benteke would of gained some ownership from the Giroud red
card owners and the recent uncertainty over Wilfried Bony’s starting place may
have gained him some further ownership. Is Costa worth 11m with Spurs away and
bogey side Newcastle in their next two matches? Here lies an interesting alternative.
