Gameweek
1 was an interesting start to the season. We saw some surprise packages
that could be potentially good for our FPL team in the
long run. Today I will highlight some of the best buys for Gameweek 2.
First
up, if you are looking for consistent returns from your defence,
consider West Bromwich Albion players. With Tony Pulis style of
play in which he likes to park the bus, West Brom’s defenders are value
for money as they are pretty budgeted. Ben Foster scored a whopping 10
points in the first match of the season and showed why he is one of the
best English goalkeepers around. If you are
looking for a full back providing assist, at only £4.5m, Gareth McAuley
provides good opportunity for assist while Craig Dawson offers goal
scoring threats from set pieces at £5.0m. West
Brom’s next few fixtures are relatively good, taking on Everton, Boro,
Bournemouth, West Ham, Stoke and Sunderland in coming weeks.
Next,
Eden Hazard looks to continue his strong start of the season against
Watford this weekend. Hazard has shown in previous seasons what
he is capable of, apart from the 15/16 where injury made him have a
pretty bad season. With Chelsea’s good run of fixtures in the next few
game weeks, Antonio Conte’s side look to score big. Hazard is also able
to play as a forward should his team mate Diego
Costa ever get suspended for getting booked. At £10.0m, he is pricey,
but the possible returns he can get you surpasses his price.
Finally,
Manchester United look to be title contenders this season after missing
out for the past couple of seasons. With the addition
of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Paul Pogba and a few others, their squad look
solid and with Jose Mourinho as their new manager, the club is moving in
a new direction. If
you are looking for a midfielder, Anthony Martial (£9.5m) is a good
option as he provides lots of crosses into the box and is able to
cut in from the left and create chances himself. For forwards, Zlatan
Ibrahimovic looks to retain his goal scoring threat with his new team.
He has shown he has what it takes to play in England despite his age. He
is a premium player at £11.5m but I believe
he is a safe long term investment that will bring you returns over the
course of the season.
Those
are my picks for Gameweek 2. Most of them will be good in the long run.
Some of them are budgeted, some are a premium, pick one that
suits your needs for this weekend.
