4 players to watch out for after Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 2

My fantasy Premier League team

The Premier league is back, and so is the Fantasy Premier League. Gameweek 2 was good for most players.

Anyone who had Aguero as captain was guaranteed 40 points. Ederson gave an assist, and it made up for City conceding a goal. Mendy and Alonso were also brilliant at creating chances and getting points for their respective teams.

Richarlison continued his good form and got 9 points for fantasy players who had him. Mane also continued his good form, getting 10 points for fantasy players. Eden Hazard gave another assist in the limited minutes he played, and is expected to start the next game. He would be a good buy for Fantasy Premier League.

Kante is playing in a more advanced role, and is bound to get more touches on the ball. Against Arsenal, he was the Chelsea player with the most touches in the opposition box. That makes him an attractive prospect for Fantasy Premier League.

While players like Kane, Salah, and Aguero are great buys, in this article I talk about players that may go unnoticed by Fantasy Premier League players. These are players below £7 million who have a lot of potential to get points for their respective teams.


#1 Trent Alexander-Arnold

Crystal Palace v Liverpool FC - Premier League
Trent Alexander-Arnold

Alexander-Arnold is a great buy if you are looking to get a Liverpool defender in your fantasy team. He plays as a right back, and has started both games for Liverpool so far.

Although he hasn't provided an assist or scored a goal, Liverpool held on to clean sheets which have led to his 5 points so far. He has the bad habit of picking up cards though, as he already has two yellow cards to his name.

While Robertson has been great in both games, he costs £6 million. Van Dijk also costs £6 million. Gomez and Alexander-Arnold are the only two Liverpool defenders who cost £5 million, and start every game.

While Gomez is also an excellent buy, I would go for Alexander-Arnold as he plays right-back and puts in quite a few crosses which may eventually lead to him getting a few assists.

#2 James Maddison

Leicester City v Wolverhampton Wanderers - Premier League
James Maddison

In the £6.5 million bracket, I would buy Richarlison without any hesitation. For some reason though, if you want another option you could keep an eye on James Maddison.

Maddison created more chances last season than any other Championship player. With the departure of Mahrez, a lot of focus will be on him.

He is also a good set-piece taker and will give Albrighton competition for set pieces and corners. Just three Championship players had more shots than Maddison last season, he will be integral to Leicester's attack this season.

Maddison gave 9 points in Gameweek 2, and fantasy players will be expecting more from him in the future.

#3 Troy Deeney

Burnley FC v Watford FC - Premier League
Troy Deeney

At only £6 million, Troy Deeney is a steal. Watford has been promising so far, and they have a lot of players you could consider for your Fantasy Premier League team.

Pereyra costs £6.1 million, and has given a total of 18 points in these 2 weeks. Hughes costs only £5 million and he has given a total of 11 points. Watford has many choices, but I believe Deeney is excellent.

Deeney is going to start every game, and he is accustomed to the Premier League. You can go for Zaha at £7 million, but I prefer Deeney.

Deeney is playing as a striker, whereas Zaha who is listed as a striker is playing on the wing. I have Zaha in my team right now, but next week I am going to replace him with Deeney.

#4 Lucas Moura

Tottenham Hotspur v Fulham - Premier League
Lucas Moura

Unlike the other players on this list, Lucas Moura is slightly expensive. Having said that, I believe he could be a steal at his price.

He is listed on Fantasy Premier League at £7 million. Although you can buy Mkhitaryan at the same price, you should certainly consider Moura.

Deli Alli is priced at £9.1 million, whereas Eriksen is priced at £9.5 million. Moura can be a cheaper option if you do not have that kind of money. He scored a stunning goal in Gameweek 2, and was also involved in Tottenham's attack.

He is only expected to improve, and so if given a choice I would try to buy him if Richarlison stops giving me points (Richarlison is priced now at £6.7 million).
