Midweek fixtures: don’t get caught out.
By Daniel Coffey
A full round of Premier League games on Tuesday and Wednesday means a full round of Fantasy Football but, fear not, we’ve got you covered.
Players to sign
Michail Antonio
Next fixture: West Ham vs Tottenham
Value: £5.3m
Selected by: 2.4%
Michail Antonio was on the scoresheet in West Ham’s last Premier League game against Sunderland at the weekend and all of his goals for West Ham have come at Upton Park. It would make sense to put him in your team.
Diego Costa
Next fixture: Norwich vs Chelsea
Value: £10.8m
Selected by: 11.6%
Diego Costa provided the assist for Cesc Fabregas’s goal against Southampton and has been in great form since Mourinho’s sacking, scoring seven goals in his first eight games under interim manager Guus Hiddink. He has continued that fine form in the last few weeks.
Christian Eriksen
Next fixture: West Ham vs Tottenham
Value: £8.6m
Selected by: 11.5%
Eriksen is a set piece specialist and a world class free kick taker. He was also on the scoresheet in Tottenham’s 2-1 against Man City at the Etihad a couple of weeks ago. He will have a massive impact in Tottenham’s title bid.
Players to sell
Odion Ighalo
Next fixture: Manchester United vs Watford
Value: £6.1m
Selected by: 32.3%
Ighalo has really struggled for form since the turn of the year and it has had an impact on Watford as they have failed to score in five of their last seven Premier league games.
Chris Smalling
Next fixture: Manchester United vs Watford
Value: £6.6m
Selected by: 23.1%
Due to Manchester United’s lack of clean sheets in recent games, Chris Smalling’s Fantasy Football form has dipped. He also picked up a shoulder injury recently which has hindered his amount of game time.
Dele Alli
Next fixture: West Ham vs Tottenham
Value: £6.1m
Selected by: 30.9%
He can’t keep producing fireworks. Can he?
