🟠 Nottingham Forest — Difficult run
📅 Fixtures: LEE (H) • LIV (A) • TOT (H) • AVL (A) • COV (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 Two attractive home fixtures are balanced by difficult away games.
🔸 A wait-and-see approach could be the best strategy.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Sels (£5.0m) kept 7 clean sheets in 31 games last season.
🔹 In defense, Milenkovic (£5.5m) and Murillo (£5.5m) are the great picks but a bit overpriced. Milenkovic hit DefCon points 13 times.
🔹 Murillo (£5.5m) recorded 5 goals and assists last season and hit DefCon points 10 times.
🔹 In midfield, Gibbs-White (£8.0m) had an excellent season with 19 goals and assists, but his price requires careful consideration. 15 goals with an xG of 10.84
🔹 In attack, Igor Jesus is the only guaranteed starter as he recorded 12 goals and assists in 28 starts last season. A bit overperforming in assist, 6 assist with an xA of just 1.27.
🟡 Brentford — Mixed opening run
📅 Fixtures: TOT (H) • LEE (A) • SUN (H) • BOU (A) • CHE (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 Brentford have a mix opening schedule, with some favourable fixtures in the first five.
🔸 Their attackers could be interesting early picks, especially if they show good attacking numbers. The same applies for their defenders.
🔸 Kayode cost £4.5m, an excellent choice if you are looking for good value for money.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Ouattara (£6.5m) -perhaps a bit pricey- but last season he tallied 15 G/A.
🔹 Schade (£6.0m) is expected to be a starter.
🔹 Lewis Potter has changed position in the game this year, moving from defense to midfield. Last season he played as attacking defender recording 7 G/A. At £5.5m he is certainly a hidden gem.
🟡 Hull City — Mixed opening fixtures
📅 Fixtures: MUN (H) • COV (A) • AVL (H) • CHE (A) • NEW (A)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 A difficult run for a newly promoted side.
🔸 Budget enablers only until fixtures improve.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Giles (£4.0m) is the most interesting defensive option as he recorded 8 assists last season, created the most big chances for Hull (11) and he had averaged 1.2 key passes per match.
🔹 In midfield, Crooks (£4.5m) was one of Hull’s best midfielders, recording 9 goals and assists in 34 games.
🔹 In attack, McBurnie (£5.5m) is the first-choice striker as he recorded 25 G/A last season.
🟡 Brighton & Hove Albion — Varied schedule
📅 Fixtures: AVL (H) • CHE (A) • LEE (H) • COV (A) • ARS (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 A tricky fixture run with several appealing fixtures.
🔸 Both Brighton's attackers and defenders could offer solid early-season value.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Verbruggen (£4.5m) is a great budget goalkeeper, as last year was the 2nd goalkeeper with the most Influence index.
🔹 Welbeck (£6.0m) remains Brighton's standout attacking option after scoring 13 goals.
🟡 Aston Villa — Balanced opening run
📅 Fixtures: BHA (A) • ARS (H) • HUL (A) • NFO (H) • TOT (A)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 A mixed opening schedule with both favourable and challenging fixtures.
🔸 Villa attackers remain good options, with the schedule improving after the opening weeks.
🔸 Rogers left Aston Villa, so that might be a blow.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 McGinn (£5.5m) (9 G/A) and Buendía (£6.0m) (8 G/A) offer solid midfield value.
🔹 Watkins (£8.0m) remains Villa's standout FPL asset after recording 20 G/A last season.

🟡 Newcastle United — Strong opening schedule
📅 Fixtures: LIV (H) • TOT (A) • BOU (H) • LEE (A) • HUL (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 The opening two fixtures are tough, but the following three offer great opportunities.
🔸 Newcastle assets could become excellent picks from GW3 onwards.
🔸Newcastle sold some of their its players, such as Gordon, Tonali and likely Bruno Guimaraes.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Thiaw (£5.0m) after a good season with 4 goals. 4.80 xG, 0.96 xA, points and 12 bonus points.
🔹 Bruno Guimarães (£7.0m) remains the standout midfield option, although his future should be monitored.
🔹 Barnes (£6.0m) could be a hidden gem after recording 8 G/A in 19 matches last season.
🟡 Liverpool —Tricky opening fixtures
📅 Fixtures: NEW (A) • NFO (H) • IPS (A) • FUL (H) • BOU (A)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 A tricky opener, but Liverpool's schedule quickly becomes very favourable.
🔸 Their premium attackers could be among the best captaincy options in the opening weeks.
🔸 A wait-and-see approach could be the best strategy.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Szoboszlai (£7.0m) (13 G/A last season) and Wirtz (£7.5m) offer strong midfield potential.
🔹 Mac Allister (£5.5m) stands out as an excellent value option.
🔹 Isak (£9.0m) is the only reliable forward option while Ekitike remains sidelined. Isak is a bit overpriced at that price.
🟡 Everton — Mixed start
📅 Fixtures: CRY (H) • BOU (A) • MUN (H) • TOT (A) • IPS (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 A mixed opening schedule with several winnable fixtures.
🔸 Everton assets could offer great value if their attack improves.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 Ndiaye (£6.0m) looks like the standout midfield option after recording 9 G/A last season.
🔹 Dewsbury-Hall (£6.5m) also impressed with 15 G/A.
🟢 Manchester City — Great fixtures despite one big test
📅 Fixtures: BOU (H) • CRY (A) • COV (H) • MUN (A) • SUN (H)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 Four excellent fixtures in the first five make City assets difficult to ignore despite the Manchester derby.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 O’Reilly (£6.5m) was named "Young Player of the Season" last year, recording 9 G/A.
🔹 In midfield, Semenyo (£8.5) had 17 goals and 6 assists last season, which might make him an FPL asset.
🔹 Last season, Anderson (£6.5m) was the player who accumulated the most Defcon points, achieving this 26 times. An excellent pick for his price.
🔹 In attack, Haaland (£15.5m) remains the most selected player despite his high price, following another excellent season with 35 goals and assists.
🟢 Manchester United — Promising early schedule
📅 Fixtures: HUL (A) • IPS (H) • EVE (A) • MCI (H) • FUL (A)
📈 FPL Impact:
🔸 Strong potential before the Manchester derby.
🔸 United attackers could offer excellent early value.
⭐ Players to watch:
🔹 In defense, Shaw (£4.5m) might be a good option, given that he played every match and hit DefCon points in five of them.
🔹 Bruno Fernandes (£12.0m) remains the standout FPL option as he recorded 9 goals + 24 assists in 35 games last season. He had 10.83 xG and 12.32 xA.
🔹 Mbeumo (£8.0m) and Cunha (£8.0m) are excellent options in their price range. Both players had 14 G/A in PL

#FPL
6⃣ WILLIAM OSULA💎
WILLIAM OSULA WAS GIVEN THE CHANCE AND STARTER THE LAST 7 LEAGUE MATCHES AS THE MAIN NUMBER 9, AHEAD OF AN UNDERWHELMING WOLTEMADE AND AN INJURY PRONE WISSA
HE MANAGED TO SCORE 7 GOALS FROM 4.29 EXPECTED GOALS AND HE'S PROJECTED TO START THE SEASON AT THE STRIKER POSITION, AS EDDIE HOWE TRUSTS THE PLAYER'S ABILITY
WITH GORDON'S TRANSFER TO BARCELONA, HIS MINUTES ARE EXPECTED TO INCREASE AND HE HAS TO STEP UP AND SHOW THAT HE CAN BECOME THE MAIN ATTACKING THREAT OF THIS NEWCASTLE TEAM!!
#FPL
5⃣ DEWSBURY HALL💎
LAST YEAR, HE MANAGED TO ACCUMULATE 151 POINTS IN 31 APPEARANCES, MAKING HIM ONE OF EVERTONS BEST PLAYERS!!
WITH NDIAYE'S POSSIBLE DEPARTURE FROM THE CLUB, HE MIGHT GET PENALTY RESPONSIBILITIES, AS WELL AS MORE MINUTES AND MORE SET PIECE DUTIES
8 GOALS, 7 ASSISTS AND 10 DEFENSIVE CONTRIBUTION POINTS ARE MORE THAN ENOUGH EVIDENCE TO JUSTIFY THE £6.5 MILLION PRICE POINT!!
4⃣ MATEUS FERNANDES💎
MATEUS FERNANDES IS ONLY 22 YEARS OLD, WHICH MEANS HE IS FULL OF ENERGY AND MATURE ENOUGH TO BRING NEW FLAIR TO SPURS CREATIVITY AND ATTACKING OUTPUT
AT ONLY £6.0 MILLION, HE WILL OFFER GREAT VALUE AND TOTTENHAM'S FIRST 5 FIXTURES LOOK GOOD ON PAPER!!
3⃣ PHILL FODEN💎
IF YOU WERE TELLING ME 2 YEARS AGO THAT PLAYER OF THE YEAR FODEN ONLY COSTS £7.0 MILLION, I WOULD THINK YOU ARE CRAZY!!
IF MARESCA UNLOCKS FODEN'S TRUE POTENTIAL AND REJUVINATE HIS PAST FORM, WE WILL BE TALKING ABOUT THE BARGAIN OF THE SEASON!!
HE IS PROJECTED TO START THE 1ST GAME OF THE SEASON, AS HE HAD A FULL SUMMER TO REST AND PREPARE FOR THIS YEAR'S SEASON
WITH MAN CITY'S GREAT OPENING FIXTURES, FODEN IS HARD TO IGNORE!!
2⃣ DANIEL BALLARD💎
THE SUNDERLAND DEFENDER ALREADY PROVED HIS VALUE AS A PLAYER, BY ACHIEVING 4 ATTACKING RETURNS AND ACCUMULATING A 9.6 DEFCON AVERAGE PER START AT JUST 24 STARTS
SUNDERLAND HAS A FAVOURABLE START WITH 3 DECENT FIXTURES AND A GOOD CHANCE FOR CLEAN SHEETS!!
SUNDERLAND ONLY CONCEDED 48 GOALS AT THE PREVIOUS SEASON, A FACT WHICH BACKS UP THEIR STRONG DEFENCE
IF YOU CAN BENCH BALLARD FOR GAMEWEEKS 4 & 5, HE WILL BE A PERFECT FPL ASSET TO OWN
1⃣ LUKA VUSKOVIC💎
BRIGHTON PAID €35 MILLION FOR THE 19 YEAR OLD CB, A PLAYER WHO AT SUCH A YOUNG AGE, CAN LEAD THE DEFENCE AND BECOME A KEY PART OF THE PROJECT
LAST YEAR, HE ACHIEVED A REMARKABLE 12.4 DEFCON AVERAGE PER START IN BUNDESLIGA AND 6 GOALS, MAKING HIM A BARGAIN PURCHASE FOR HIS PRICE POINT!!!
