Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: Key Players and Insights ahead of Gameweek 9

#7 Crystal Palace

Wan-Bissaka is cheap and also a bonus point magnet

Best Pick: Aaron Wan-Bissaka (£4.3m) is a once in a lifetime budget defender to have. You can start him in easy matches, and bench him for the tough fixtures. He is a season keeper.

Good to Have: James Tomkins (£4.4m) is a decent pick as a defender who can provide good returns from set pieces.

Potential Trap: Wilfried Zaha (£7.0m) is the talisman of the team, and most of the scoring opportunities will come through him. However, lack of support around him might lead to diminishing returns as the league proceeds.

#8 Everton

Best Pick: The coach simply loves Richarlison (£6.8m), and has even shown the inclination to play him out of position as a centre-forward. Richarlison is great value at this price point if he can keep up the consistent returns.

Good to Have: Gylfi Siggurdson (£7.4m), although priced higher than Richarlison, is more creative of the two and is also on set pieces. He might well be worth the extra money spent.

Potential Trap: Theo Walcott (£6.5m) has already flattered to deceive several managers, and it will be wise to stay away from him.
