Niko’s Supercoach EPL Watchlist | Round 10


<p>A weekly score of 91 this week see’s my rank drop slightly to 1,361.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Saliba’s injury substitution and van Dijk’s penalty conceded not aiding my cause one bit, coupled with trading out Longstaff for Enzo Fernades.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Bit of pain there but as we always do in fantasy sports we move onto the next week!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<p>From now on, considering most are at full premium sides, I’m going to try and move my focus away from cash cows to flipping premiums and gaining points from better fixture blocks.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Good in theory, but we also need to be mindful we have a set number of trades and it doesn’t always work.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Buy</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Micky van de Ven (£8.90M, Tottenham DEF, B/E -12)</strong></p>



<p>He’s a buy because of the breakeven, but not the fixtures.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Chelsea, Man U, Arsenal and Newcastle in the next 5!&nbsp; </p>



<p>Well done to owners who got the mega haul and will see a huge cash gain, but I’m not trading him in with those fixtures.</p>



<a id='r20Z2jOtSMxAaxkBT8SP_w' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2243556103' 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:'r20Z2jOtSMxAaxkBT8SP_w',sig:'8aDPWLAjEyiy3b1r18uUk2CSDFarXGiNn6H8Pq1piK4=',w:'594px',h:'409px',items:'2243556103',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Danny Welbeck (£8.68M, Brighton FWD, B/E -11)</strong></p>



<p>I’m a massive fan of their upcoming fixtures, especially their upcoming home games: Leeds, Brentford, Aston Villa, West Ham, and Sunderland.  </p>



<p>They play West Ham twice in 5 weeks!&nbsp; </p>



<p>He’s in form and the fixtures are there, but the rotation risk remains, and because of that, I think I prefer Minteh.</p>



<a id='LCXcdtA1SvFcOXWhwrdIvg' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2243310723' 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:'LCXcdtA1SvFcOXWhwrdIvg',sig:'5RvchLwwO_aFQkCeTAH2fsGbbJWHapsXU8uUoUvlJ3c=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2243310723',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Bryan Mbeumo (£10.75M, Man United FWD, B/E -7)</strong></p>



<p>I see the appeal, and I’m a happy owner in FPL, but the knock is one home game in the next four and he leaves for AFCON in December.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I also still have some trust issues with Man U, despite them winning four of the last five games.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Forest also showed improvement under Dyche.</p>



<p><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£9.47M Manchester United MID, B/E 6)&nbsp;</strong></p>



<p>I’m a little surprised he’s only 18% owned.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Set and forget pick with his baseline stats in his current role and on penalties.</p>



<a id='63xCr99sTv1l4gjPxw272Q' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2242975505' 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:'63xCr99sTv1l4gjPxw272Q',sig:'McwE16wWaEMgxSgNT8qwRJ4mf-nQ8CTJS6CL1laAuw8=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2242975505',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Mohamed Salah (£7.36M, Liverpool FWD, B/E 7)</strong></p>



<p>After a quality finish late on it just might be the catalyst for a resurgence.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Six of the next seven fixtures are elite &#8211; Villa, Forest, Sunderland, Brighton at home with West Ham and Leeds the away games before he jets off to AFCON.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Worth the gamble IMO.</p>



<a id='X7lgQqIaQDdqmNiHofGzFA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2242856813' 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:'X7lgQqIaQDdqmNiHofGzFA',sig:'uobpW6Jaf2EHgFdYMNYUCFuD0XX5xuVEGAYDQfbLoZA=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2242856813',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Hold / Watch</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Moisés Caicedo (£9.34M, Chelsea MID, B/E 20)</strong></p>



<p>Tottenham, Wolves and Burnley in the next three so I would hold.&nbsp; </p>



<p>There’s seems to be a bit of a minor injury crisis at Chelsea, and he’s been flagged as someone with a knock so what the teams and have a back-up plan.</p>



<p><strong>Erling Haaland (£16.39M, Man City FWD, B/E 19)</strong></p>



<p>This one seems straightforward, but his name has been floated as a trade out.&nbsp; </p>



<p>For me, you don’t trade out someone who scores 90% of their team’s goals, you put the C on them.</p>



<a id='R2TfbToZSK1fpjwGWchvDQ' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2243365044' 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:'R2TfbToZSK1fpjwGWchvDQ',sig:'UYzpY9_irH0hCYspGyRZyf996Ib_UR9-k6MNTsO7o34=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2243365044',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Virgil van Dijk (£6.37M, Liverpool DEF, B/E 13)</strong></p>



<p>Since I brought him in as a set and forget pick, they’ve lost four on the bounce.&nbsp; </p>



<p>What a disaster.&nbsp; </p>



<p>To further put the nail in, he’s been scoring in the Champions League (two in three) and doing sweet FA in the Prem.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I think I keep him as they’ll turn things around soon, but I could bench him or even get rid.</p>



<p><strong>Viktor Gyökeres (£5.33M, Arsenal FWD, B/E 9)</strong></p>



<p>Burnley and Sunderland in the next two suggest you should just hold and pray for some goals.&nbsp; </p>



<p>However, if you’ve got the funds in the account a switch to someone in form is not a silly move.</p>



<a id='JF8SRk2_TERU73aPMlDYJA' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2242975113' 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:'JF8SRk2_TERU73aPMlDYJA',sig:'OrCnlT0_pz4fUVATKHPq-Wg9q9o8VKxiTXff1BDFhpU=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'2242975113',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Dominik Szoboszlai (£8.69M, Liverpool MID, B/E -1)</strong></p>



<p>His roles have been all over the place this season but he’s still got great baseline stats.&nbsp; </p>



<p>Seems to have taken over from Wirtz in the 10 before covering Gravenberch’s injury last weekend.&nbsp; </p>



<p>I’m not buying yet but somewhat interested if he continues to play the 10 with their upcoming favourable fixture run.</p>



<a id='zM8JJAXeTDNI04-Z3_3X_w' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2243551549' 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:'zM8JJAXeTDNI04-Z3_3X_w',sig:'q0A2EqkTr2uAAQs63zS_1z2h4qvS0e9uTNnRioD5WlY=',w:'594px',h:'410px',items:'2243551549',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Sell</strong></h3>



<p><strong>Antoine Semenyo (£13.86M, Bournemouth FWD, B/E 30)</strong></p>



<p>Now this is by no means a must sell, but if you need cash to upgrade a midfielder or defender, this is a good option.  </p>



<p>Massive breakeven, only the one shot against Forest at home (0.03xG) and only 2 shots in the shoot out with Palace the week before (0.13xG).&nbsp; </p>



<p>The 29 score against Fulham drops out this week and he has Man City away which are the reasons to sell, however I would not be surprised if he scores on the counter.</p>



<p><strong>Tijjani Reijnders (£6.63M, Manchester City MID, B/E 15)</strong></p>



<p>High breakeven, early subs, not much involvement moving forward in an attacking team (0.07xG, 0.03xA).&nbsp; </p>



<p>He’s just not as good as we initially thought so easy trade out if you own.</p>



<p><strong>William Saliba (£7.09M, Arsenal DEF, B/E 10)</strong></p>



<p>Could be a sell dependant on injury news which is annoying with Burnley and Sunderland up next.</p>



<a id='lHhMYI42QhNU-q6LBoJcUg' class='gie-single' href='https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/2242019686' 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:'lHhMYI42QhNU-q6LBoJcUg',sig:'eYOwqhDmwmFpX4pmK9GRqo1eDK5qUxEDxrSAbxqYmnE=',w:'594px',h:'378px',items:'2242019686',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});</script><script src='//embed-cdn.gettyimages.com/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async></script>



<p><strong>Xavi Simons (£5.17M, Tottenham MID, B/E 5)</strong></p>



<p>I’m very quickly losing any faith in him.&nbsp; </p>



<p>The early substitutions continue and he’s not providing any attacking threat whatsoever (0.02xA against Everton and no shots).&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Current Trade Plans and Captains</strong></h3>



<p><strong>OUT:</strong><strong> </strong><strong></strong>Nil</p>



<p><strong>IN:&nbsp; </strong><strong></strong><strong> </strong>Nil</p>



<p><strong>Bank: </strong><strong></strong><strong> </strong><strong></strong>£2.02M</p>



<p><strong>Trades:</strong><strong> </strong>29 + 3 boosts</p>



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



<p><strong>C:</strong> Haaland</p>
