Keeper and defence
David Raya, Arsenal, £5.5m – Newcastle (a)
Arsenal’s defence has been so good this season that you just’d again them even on this powerful fixture, on paper, at Newcastle.
The Magpies have been fairly blunt in assault thus far, evidenced by three successive 0-0 attracts on the street.
At house, they are going to be a unique prospect, however whether or not they can break by way of the Gunners backline is a unique matter.
Commercial
James Tarkowski, Everton, £5.5m – West Ham (h)
As forecast in pre-season, Tarkowski has become a defensive contribution factors (defcon) magnet, scoring the 2 bonus factors on 4 of 5 events this season.
A house recreation towards troubled West Ham is a pleasant fixture for Tarkowski, with a good sufficient probability of a clear sheet too. The Hammers have scored simply 5 objectives this season and three of these got here within the remaining six minutes at Nottingham Forest.
Additionally they have the worst xGC from set-pieces, whereas Everton have the second greatest xG from them.
4 factors looks like the ground for the Everton centre-back this week.
Commercial
Micky van de Ven (£4.7m) and Pedro Porro (£5.6m), Spurs – Wolves (h)
Wolves have but to select up some extent and their assault has been toothless thus far.
Spurs, in the meantime, have let in simply three so it’s price doubling up on their defence.
Van de Ven affords worth and purpose risk (he is had three photographs within the field) whereas Porro is an help ready to occur. He hasn’t had one but this season, however with an anticipated assists (xA) of 0.74, solely Crystal Palace’s Daniel Munoz has higher stats amongst defenders.
Nico O’Reilly, Manchester Metropolis, £4.9m – Burnley (h)
O’Reilly is an affordable method right into a Metropolis defence that has an incredible probability of a clear sheet this week.
Commercial
Together with being poor on the again, Burnley have the third-worst xG within the league.
O’Reilly had a good run on the finish of final season from left-back and he ought to take up the identical sort of high-potential attacking positions we anticipated from the injured Rayan Ait-Nouri.
Midfielders
Iliman Ndiaye, Everton, £6.5m – West Ham (h)
Taking over a Hammers defence that has conceded a league-high 13 objectives, Ndiaye is, nearly, the best choice from Everton’s great-value midfield trio.
You may choose Jack Grealish (£6.8m) after his 4 assists thus far, or budget-friendly Kiernan Dewsbury-Corridor (£5m), who has taken as many photographs as Ndiaye.
Commercial
However Senegal ahead Ndiaye is the most important purpose risk and in addition on penalties.
Mohammed Kudus, Spurs, £6.6m – Wolves (h)
Like West Ham, Wolves are a staff price focusing on and Kudus appears to be the perfect wager for Spurs from an attacking standpoint, after Xavi Simons was benched final week.
The Ghanaian has 4 assists thus far – the joint most within the league – and has been concerned in 40% of Tottenham’s objectives.
Morgan Gibbs-White, Nottingham Forest, £7.5m – Sunderland (h)
Forest are a tough staff to learn this season, with a managerial change already and only one victory.
We had been anticipating them to be significantly better and, with Ange Postecoglou taking cost of his first house recreation, a extra attacking Forest aspect may emerge.
Commercial
Gibbs-White has taken 9 photographs in 5 video games and is price a punt this week.
Sunderland have a top-six defence thus far and have been spectacular within the first 5 weeks – will that proceed?
Phil Foden, Manchester Metropolis, £8m – Burnley (h)
Is Foden again to close his greatest? The England midfielder was so good within the derby win over Manchester United and has had two league begins in a row.
If you happen to can afford him, why not go for it?
Final season was a little bit of a write-off, however we all know what he can do – 19 objectives and eight assists within the 2023-24 Premier League is proof of his capacity.
Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, £7.7m – Leeds (a)
No must lose religion in Semenyo after final week’s clean.
Commercial
He is on penalties, takes a number of photographs and has been concerned in a whopping 83% of Bournemouth’s objectives this season.
Striker
Erling Haaland (captain), Manchester Metropolis, £14.3m – Burnley (h)
Haaland is the plain captain alternative this week. Everyone knows how good he’s, however his underlying information this season is off the charts.
With an xG of 6.2 – no different participant has even half of that – and 20 photographs within the field in 5 video games, he may simply be sitting right here with three or 4 extra objectives than the six he has scored thus far.
Haaland can be extremely owned and extremely captained – you both stick the Triple Captain chip on him this week and hope for a haul, or maintain it within the bag for an even bigger differential decide afterward.
