Fantasy Premier League 2018-19: 3 Players to consider for the coming weeks

Imagine a double clean sheet in GW25!

#1 Ederson – Goalkeeper (£5.6m)

Clean Sheets: 10

Assists: 1

Season Points: 96

Upcoming fixtures: NEW (A), ARS (H) & EVE (A), CHE (H)

A lot of talk is going on now about building for the double gameweek in GW25 so I wanted to be sure to give you someone to keep your eye on. A big part of the talking point is ‘Pep-Roulette’ which is the real-life predicament that we have no idea who Pep is going to choose from week to week. I previewed Sané for GW23 and he did the business so he’ll still be in my squad for the foreseeable future and is still a good pick for a City attacker.

One thing is for sure, you’ll need at least 1 City asset against a depleted Arsenal and a downbeat Everton. Ederson is as assured as a City-asset as you can get. City have also kept clean sheets in their last 6 games in all competitions which they’ll need to continue if they’ve any chance of catching Liverpool at the top of the Premier League.

I’ll also take this chance to remind you of his assist in GW2 against Huddersfield.


#2 Gylfi Sigurdsson – Midfielder (£7.3m)

Goals: 9

Assists: 3

Season Points: 111

Upcoming fixtures: HUD (A), WOL (H) & MCI (H), WAT (A)

As much as I wanted to pick Richarlison, I think his lack of form makes Gylfi the man to go for if you’re wanting a pick from the blue half of Merseyside!

He’s been wrestled off a few set pieces by Lucas Digne of late but his eye for goal as well as potential penalties makes him a good pick. He’s got a goal, an assist and 2 bonus points in his last 2 games and is in-form as well. He has the tendency this season to be streaky (scores in 3-4 game clusters and then blanks for a little while) so hopefully we’re catching him on a hot streak.

He averages 2.25 shots per 90 over the last 4 (as well as 2.50 h90 over the season), as well as 1.75 key passes per 90. Let’s just hope he doesn’t ruin Ederson’s clean sheet if you decide to bring him in too.


#3 Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – Attacker (£11.3m)

The Arsenal frontman is in the running for the golden boot!

Goals: 14

Assists: 5

Season Points: 136

Upcoming fixtures: CAR (H), MCI (A), HUD (A)

I was honestly going to save this pick until after the City game but I’d be tempted to jump on now to get ahead of the game. That’s because Auba has a nice tidy block of fixtures with 3 out of his next 5 games at home against teams that love to concede goals -- Cardiff (44 goals conceded), Southampton (40) & Bournemouth (42) as well as Huddersfield (40) away. Only Burnley (43) and Fulham (51) have conceded more goals in the Premier League this season.

He’s the league's 2nd highest goalscorer and the top-scoring forward for this season – 4 more points than Harry Kane (2nd) and 22 more points than Callum Wilson (3rd)

He has an xG90 of 0.67 (Salah has 0.72 and Aguero has 0.71) and has averaged 3.25 Sh90 in his last 4 scoring 1 goal and 1 assist. He’s planned to come into my squad for GW26.
