While the marquee players are scoring the most points and should find a place in your team, it really is your budget options that sets you apart from the crowd. With the first gameweek of the second quarter around the corner, now is the time to get your Fantasy Premier League back on track, with these 5 cheap must-have picks for Gameweek 10:
#5. Jordan Pickford (Goalkeeper- Everton)
Price: 4.9
Upcoming Fixtures: Leicester City, Watford, Crystal Palace.
Despite Everton's recent troubles, there has been one shining light in their squad, that light is Jordan Pickford, who is probably their best signing this season despite shelling out so much money.
After Koeman's sacking, it is hard to predict whether The Toffees will pick up their form or struggle even more, but if they do get their act together, they can benefit from a very appetizing set of fixtures coming up.
Trending
Even after conceding 5 against the Gunners last weekend, a clean sheet is the least expected from Everton, as they face the likes of Leicester and Palace in their next three fixtures, both of which have struggled to perform this season just like the Evertonians.
While Everton may not be playing well right now, I think it is worth a gamble to invest in some of their players, just in case they pick their form up in this rather easy set of fixtures.
#4. Pascal Groß (Midfielder- Brighton)
Price: 5.7
Fixtures: Southampton, Swansea, Stoke.
Without a shred of doubt, your safest option right now when it comes to budget or gamble signings on FPL is Pascal Groß, who finds his way on this list for the third week in a row!
The German midfielder has been consistent this season and has scored 23 points in his last 5 fixtures, which is definitely a satisfactory return for his reasonable price. Groß has added another assist to his already impressive tally this season and right now is the time to become a part of his 15.8% owners before his price goes up.
Additionally, he also has a rather straightforward fixture list coming up, with all his 3 opponents being rated just 2/5 on the Fixture Difficulty Ranking, and as usual, if Brighton emerge victorious, Pascal will surely be an integral part of that success.
#3. David Luiz (Defender- Chelsea)
Price: 5.9
Fixtures: Bournemouth, Man Utd, West Brom.
With his price dropping to what may be considered a budget range because of his recent suspension problems, the Brazilian defender who also has a nose for goals already scoring 2 this season, finds his way into this list.
While he may have been one of the premium options in the past, Luiz is now in a somewhat affordable range and should be picked up before his price goes back up. The Brazilian is not only a solid defender but also a great long-shot taker, who, at times, fancies taking free-kicks.
Having racked up 23 points in six games despite a slow start to the season for Chelsea, Luiz is a must have if you can afford him.
The blues are facing the likes of Bournemouth and West Brom, and should not have problems keeping a clean sheet at the very least. In between those fixtures, the defending champions also face Jose Mourinho's Manchester United, which may be a tough fixture, but considering their defensive tactics against stronger oppositions, a clean sheet would not be a surprise.
#2. Mame Biram Diouf (Striker-Stoke City)
Price: 5.5
Fixtures: Watford, Leicester, Brighton.
After an unexpected loss against Bournemouth last weekend, Mark Hughes men will look to bounce back against an in-form Watford side and if they succeed, Diouf will certainly make an impact.
Having bagged 1 goal in each of his last three games, the Stoke forward is in red hot form and so should be his demand on FPL, but not many have recognised his potential and Diouf is owned only by 3.5%, so if your gamble proves successful, Diouf can be a big differential.
In addition to his goalscoring ability, Diouf has also created 4 chances and registered one assist and considering his quality, his form is expected to continue to a somewhat testing set of fixtures coming up for the Potters, with the game against newly promote Brighton looking the most promising.
#1. Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Striker-Everton)
Price: 5.0
Fixtures: Leicester City, Watford, Crystal Palace.
The second Everton player on this list, Dominic Calvert-Lewin is your go-to option as a second or third striker to support your main men. While just like Pickford, he may also be a gamble considering Everton's terrible start to the season and also all the problems currently going on by the touchline, he is certainly a gamble worth taking.
With him facing Leicester this weekend, who are facing a very similar array of problems this season, his chances of success are higher than ever.
Despite Everton's lackadaisical start, Dominic has managed to rack up 23 points since the start of the season, providing his team with 3 assists. This is because even though he is listed as a striker on FPL, he is usually used either in the number 10 spot as a playmaker or on the wings to provide width.
So, while goalscoring has been a rarity this season, you can expect him to rack up some assist points for your side. Also, owned by just 2%, he could also prove to be an excellent differential if he performs.
