Niko's Supercoach EPL Watchlist | Round 4


<p>In what feels like months ago, thanks to the international break, I managed a score of 129 points in GW3 to take me up to 2,853 in the overall rankings.&nbsp; </p>



<p>The big studs for me doing the business were Paqueta, Grealish, Bruno, Thiago, and my Captain, Haaland.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I decided on only using the two trades and holding onto Palmer, Watkins, and Sels, which didn’t turn out too great.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>There are some big cash swings coming, and it’s time to act, but I’m also wary of not just chasing last week’s points and having an eye on upcoming fixtures.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Buy</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Jack Grealish (6.49mil, Everton MID, -21 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>Jack is up 2.6mil already, and it looks like he could make a similar jump again against a battling Villa outfit.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Hopefully, you listened last week, even though the trade from Dewsbury-Hall netted me exactly zero points.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p><strong>Lucas Paqueta (7.64mil, West Ham MID, -16 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>Rubbished any transfer rumours with a cool celebration after tucking the penalty away.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Things might not be as dire as they seem for the Hammers, and this guy is leading the charge with his quality.</p>



<a id='e3YTz8q5T09lCfVkjQ9cLA' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2232915027' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'e3YTz8q5T09lCfVkjQ9cLA',sig:'7axRlgEttp9aSNwdHF-IQGx5GhoOFUpQI_ApicY9h_4=',w:'594px',h:'403px',items:'2232915027',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Marcos Senesi (7.05mil, Bournemouth DEF, -12 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>A surprise win away to Tottenham, and this guy was the player of the match.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Loves to get forward with lots of passing into the final third, but he obviously does plenty of defensive work too, which aids his scoring potential.&nbsp; </p>



<p>8 clearances and 6 recoveries netted him an extra 6 points, on top of his assist and clean sheet points.</p>



<p><strong>Joao Pedro (9.77mil, Chelsea FWD, -11 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>The minutes are there now that Delap is injured, and he looks like an obvious pick.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I’m hoping to ride the wave and perhaps turn him into Salah at some point if their forms reverse.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Hopefully, he doesn’t get benched after his flight back from Brazil…&nbsp;surely not.</p>



<a id='HFt5emMsT_ZOx-E-73kEgw' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2233657887' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'HFt5emMsT_ZOx-E-73kEgw',sig:'Z79tKT_fMtJfYH-nueojhGGMAWZgO_heqCSZVXrEBBs=',w:'594px',h:'427px',items:'2233657887',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Enzo Fernández (10.34mil, Chelsea MID, -4 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>I think he’s a fantastic pick, but only if Cole Palmer is still out.</p>



<p><strong>Djordje Petrovic (5.26mil, Bournemouth FWD, -4 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>If you are shopping for a budget keeper, he looks your man.&nbsp; </p>



<p>The fixtures up until GW10 look nice defensively, and he should continue to get save points along the way.</p>



<a id='TW9LYC2AT1NbjRMmP68VKg' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2232224169' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'TW9LYC2AT1NbjRMmP68VKg',sig:'WnI2D9hAsGP1NiXL-SmehG8xoHJ_D8r-z5bZy9dsKaM=',w:'594px',h:'409px',items:'2232224169',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Tino Livramento (6.62mil, Newcastle DEF, 3 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>We keep talking him up, and he keeps scoring points.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Big watch to see if Eddie Howe starts with 3 at the back, as it could push him more forward as a wing back.&nbsp; </p>



<p>If not sure, the new signings will suggest a change in formation just yet, but at least morale should improve, and hopefully a change in form starting with Wolves at St James’ Park this week.</p>



<p><strong>Daniel Munoz (10.87mil, Crystal Palace DEF, 7 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>A very tasty fixture against the Black Cats at home.&nbsp; </p>



<p>With their injuries, he could push even more upfield, which makes him an exciting pick over the next two gameweeks.</p>



<a id='MHpziIZ-TrFpUHPXth861A' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2233072671' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'MHpziIZ-TrFpUHPXth861A',sig:'nfdViwAeI0ZEAZ_HNL2nutcmcTbj-_qpeU14wKIsjUg=',w:'594px',h:'399px',items:'2233072671',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hold</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (13.71mil Liverpool FWD, 31 breakeven)&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Not ideal, scoring the measly one point for owners, but you cannot sell him with Burnley away this week.&nbsp; </p>



<p>In fact, he should be your captain.</p>



<p><strong>Erling Haaland (11.84mil, Man City FWD, 20 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>I’m backing him to get close to his breakeven, so no need to worry about the Norwegian robot.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Will likely be my captain again, coming off a 5 goal display for his home country.</p>



<a id='VVaaFDtlRlFbOhlb9o3gvQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2230759160' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'VVaaFDtlRlFbOhlb9o3gvQ',sig:'yc7YLgr3YwxuiPXCiI3IADk2IYuhvTq0jAC25_4FaCc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2230759160',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Ryan Ait-Nouri (7.55mil, Man City DEF, 20 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>I’m really torn on this one.&nbsp; </p>



<p>On one hand he could just be a season long hold, but on the other, I need to find coin, and he has a large breakeven.  </p>



<p>I’d lean to holding if you can, but he could be gone for me.</p>



<p><strong>Martin Ødegaard (7.04mil, Arsenal MID, 19 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>A shoulder injury in GW2 and then only a sub appearance last week.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I can understand people selling, but he played twice for Norway during the break and that included a full 90mins in the latter with a goal and two assists.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I can see him scoring well this week.</p>



<p><strong>Tijjani Reijnders (7.25mil, Man City MID, breakeven 14)</strong></p>



<p>He could see some more forward involvement due to the injuries to Cherki and Marmoush, and I expect the goals to go in against Man United.</p>



<a id='2248GqanR-h4sHNw7PYPFQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2232505844' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'2248GqanR-h4sHNw7PYPFQ',sig:'HILtT_GQC7_PvdiMBr754gcQkbFFC9QTwqla359Mktc=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2232505844',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (10.78mil, Man United MID, 14 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>One of the toughest fixtures you can get, the derby away, but he’ll at least get defensive points, and they could nab a penalty.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Perma hold in my eyes.</p>



<p><strong>Florian Wirtz (7.27mil, Liverpool FWD, breakeven 10)&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>Showed some signs of life against Arsenal and comes off an international goal during the break, he could be ready to show us what he’s really got against a promoted side this week, albeit away.&nbsp;</p>



<p>I also doubt his minutes get affected at all by the arrival of Isak, which makes him more appealing than some of his teammates.</p>



<p><strong>Cole Palmer (12.72mil, Chelsea MID, n/a breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>This obviously depends on the injury news, but it does seem to be on the minor end.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I think it’s as simple as if named hold, if not sell.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I’ve held, hoping the international break rest will be enough to see him back, but we need to see some concrete news on his injury other than “soon back”.</p>



<a id='x7lx7KZ9RvJEZ7ybkt8RBg' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2233065496' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'x7lx7KZ9RvJEZ7ybkt8RBg',sig:'ulOFxnGR0clo2OecGKg-pOQ2k5RjYFUgsZJ5NwvGjXg=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2233065496',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sell</strong></h2>



<p><strong>Ollie Watkins (7.33mil, Aston Villa FWD, breakeven 15)</strong></p>



<p>They surely can’t keep going this badly for much longer.&nbsp; </p>



<p>A date with Everton away doesn’t scream goals to me, so I&#8217;m keen to trade him out.</p>



<p><strong>Matz Sels (6.06mil, Nott. Forest GKP, 13 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>Big Ange is back!&nbsp; </p>



<p>But he’s not very defensive-minded minded so I expect some more free-flowing football and less reliance on parking the bus and countering, which made their defensive assets gold last season.</p>



<a id='KcAOBmkWRsBorI97mumWvQ' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2231721453' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KcAOBmkWRsBorI97mumWvQ',sig:'kkzQvApF2EHEWfSaKJivweyEr-1SJ1EQURII8R5vGSI=',w:'594px',h:'434px',items:'2231721453',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Myles Lewis-Skelly (3.9mil, Arsenal MID, 10 breakeven)</strong></p>



<p>Not starting and best to move onto someone who is and making money, not losing it i.e. Rodri.</p>



<p><strong>James Trafford (4.82mil, Man City GKP, breakeven 5)</strong></p>



<p>Nearly 30% of managers have a decision to make here.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I’d sell as Donnarumma will be the main man in goal, but if you can wait until teams are released.</p>



<a id='Wj4DYg67TvlwTc5nzJSL_w' class='gie-single' href='http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2229251038' target='_blank' style='color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;' rel="noopener">Embed from Getty Images</a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'Wj4DYg67TvlwTc5nzJSL_w',sig:'7XNMFMYc4DhcGAk8yGOIAEv3yD7yaX-CipFIC1c9xkw=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2229251038',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Trade Plans and Captains</strong></h2>



<p><strong>OUT:</strong><strong> </strong>Sels + Watkins + Ait-Nouri</p>



<p><strong>IN:&nbsp; </strong><strong></strong>Petrovic + J Pedro + Senesi</p>



<p><strong>VC:</strong>&nbsp; Calafiori</p>
