Game Week 6 is in the books, and yet some of the highest performers are still under-owned in Draft Fantasy. Here are a few of the most intriguing players that might still be available in your standard scoring league. Oumar Niasse, FWD, Everton No two ways about it, this year's new look Everton squad
Tottenham are a reliable team for Draft Fantasy output with Harry Kane being the star. However, their two attacking midfielders, Christian Eriksen and Dele Alli, are both great players to own in the game. They are regular starters and are very influential in the final third. The former is more likel
West Ham came agonisingly close to pulling off a remarkable come-back in a fiery London derby against Tottenham on Saturday afternoon as Harry Kane’s first-half double proved the difference. The result will do nothing to ease the pressure on under-fire manager Slaven Bilic but, in the way they respo
Bournemouth’s struggles at the start of the new Premier League season can perhaps be accurately summarised by the fortunes of striker Joshua King, who had failed to score in his first five matches. The Norwegian international was by far their best player last season, scoring 16 goals in 36 Premier L
Whilst Chelsea’s 0-0 stalemate with Arsenal at Stamford Bridge last weekend somewhat stalled the momentum that Antonio Conte’s men have been building, they have a welcome boost ahead of Saturday. Talisman Eden Hazard safely negotiated his way through the whole 90 minutes on Wednesday night during Ch
Christian Eriksen - Tottenham Teams are beginning to sit deep, cede possession and frustrate Tottenham. The Swansea match was the perfect example for it. At times it looked it was a game that happened only in Swansea’s final third. West Ham is going to be no different. It is against such cramped opp
In a re-match of the London derby that all-but ended Tottenham’s Premier League title challenge last season, Mauricio Pochettino will be vying to bounce back from yet another Wembley set-back. The stakes may not be as high at the London Stadium this weekend but it’s an important match at both ends o
Leicester City and Liverpool will no doubt get a sense of déjà vu on Saturday evening when the Premier League rivals meet for the second time in the space of a few days for their league clash. Whilst both sides rested key players on Tuesday night, Craig Shakespeare and Jurgen Klopp will return to fu
You could almost hear the collective groan around Turf Moor last Sunday when goalkeeper Tom Heaton fell to the floor in a heap, leaving the field promptly and requiring surgery on his shoulder. The almost unheard-of Nick Pope came on with around an hour left to play, and there was an understandable
With the shadow of Sadio Mane’s three-match suspension hanging over their heads, Liverpool supporters would have been delighted to see Philippe Coutinho’s return on Saturday afternoon. The 25-year-old – who was the subject of one of the biggest transfer sagas of the summer, with a move to Barcelona
There are several players beginning to break through at their clubs and could prove to offer good options on waivers and free agency. One player that won’t be owned in a lot of leagues is Manchester United's Ashley Young. That isn’t a surprise as he looked an unwanted man at the beginning of the sea
The Waiver Wire article has to dig deep this week in the absence of many breakthrough performances, and many previous selections becoming higher owned. However, there are some good players still available who are looking to return to their former glory. Davinson Sánchez, DEF, Tottenham Sánchez (7% o
Manchester City have started the season with the intention of starting Gabriel Jesus and Sergio Aguero as a front two. There were teething problems, but it has started to click and they look a terrifying team in the final third. On Saturday, they ran out 6-0 winners against Watford and it could have
Harry Kane - Tottenham He started the week at 99 goals and midway through the week, he is at 103, with the four goals coming against Everton, perennial top six contenders, and Borussia Dortmund, perennial dark horses. Kane has, so far, had 99 touches in the final third, of which 33 have been inside
A review of Premier League gameweek three, including the players and teams that stood out for Draft Fantasy managers.
Five Premier League picks who could steal the show in gameweek four, featuring players from Liverpool, Chelsea and Swansea.
One of the most eye-catching transfer swoops of deadline day was Swansea City's signing of Renato Sanches on a season long loan from Bayern Munich. The youngster demanded a £40 million fee only a year ago after being named the best young player at Euro 2016, so is he worth adding to your Draft Fanta
Arguably the biggest signing of transfer deadline day last week came in the form of Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, with the England midfielder moving from Arsenal to Liverpool in a £35 million switch. The 24-year-old topped off a productive summer for the Merseyside club, joining Mohamed Salah, Andy Rober
In Draft Fantasy Football, it is better to aim for long-term rather than short-term gains and it is crucial not to be too hasty when deciding to get rid of a player based on poor form. That said, a player with depreciating value could be worth trading out for one that is on the rise. […]
It is probably fair to say that Mamadou Sakho’s Liverpool exit was a long time in the making after falling out of favour with Jurgen Klopp upon the German’s arrival at Anfield in the summer of 2015. The 27-year-old was outcast from the Liverpool squad – let alone the starting eleven – and eventually
“I've come here to help Tottenham to win the title”. This is what Tottenham Hotspurs’ deadline day signing, Fernando Llorente, had to say on his own move and he couldn’t have been more correct. Title challenges require versatility, endurance and above all a good back-up. Barring the tip of the attac
Antonio Conte is a very particular manager, and he wants his Chelsea players to be in synch with his playing philosophy. His three-at-the-back formation last season made a star out of Marcos Alonso who played so far up the pitch he could often have mistaken for an out-and-out winger instead of a def
Ligue 1 teams haven’t fared greatly in the Champions League recently, but the emergence of Monaco last season means that they now have more than one threat in the competition. PSG have taken the headlines this summer with their transfer business and they enter the tournament as one of the favourites
