Eberechi Eze, Arsenal, \u00a37.6m – Fulham (a)<\/p>\n
With Martin Odegaard set for a spell on the sidelines, Eze looks set for an extended run in the Arsenal side and that makes him a very intriguing FPL option.<\/p>\n
He tops most underlying statistics for Arsenal midfielders. His 17 shots translates to an average of 3.85 shots per 90 minutes – Bukayo Saka is next best at 2.33 – and 11 of those have been in the box.<\/p>\n
Bear in mind he is yet to score and you could say “he’s due”!<\/p>\n
Eze has been involved in 38% of Arsenal’s goals when he’s on the pitch, which is huge in an Arsenal side with so many good players.<\/p>\n
Involved, playing well and a good price. Get him on your radar.<\/p>\n
Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, \u00a37.9m – Crystal Palace (a)<\/p>\n
This slot is reserved for Semenyo until further notice. Palace away is not the easiest game but he might just be fixture proof.<\/p>\n
Jaidon Anthony, Burnley, \u00a35.7m – Leeds (h)<\/p>\n
Leeds are a side you can target away from home, where their expected goals conceded (xGC) is more than double their record at Elland Road – 5.5 to 2.3.<\/p>\n
Four-goal Anthony is proving to be Burnley’s best goal threat and is a nice price if you are looking for a rotatable fifth midfielder.<\/p>\n
These are the kind of games you play him in – home to a fellow promoted side – and Burnley have a point to prove after a poor start.<\/p>\n
Jeremy Doku, Manchester City, \u00a36.6m – Everton (h)<\/p>\n
Doku is a bit of a minutes risk but his past two home games have each resulted in 10-point hauls.<\/p>\n
Behind Haaland, he is City’s most creative player so far – involved in 27% of the team’s goals when on the pitch.<\/p>\n
With his explosive pace, you’d fancy him to have joy against Everton’s Jake O’Brien who, despite playing well this season, is still a 6ft 6in centre-back playing as a full-back.<\/p>\n
Enzo Fernandez, Chelsea, \u00a36.7m – Nottingham Forest (a)<\/p>\n
Cole Palmer’s injury is bad news for Chelsea but good news for Fernandez’s FPL value as he is likely to continue playing in an advanced role.<\/p>\n
Among all players in the league he has the fourth-highest xG so far at 3.66, and the second-highest among midfielders.<\/p>\n
We’re raving about Semenyo, whose xG is mildly better at 3.73, so does this make Fernandez the next best midfield pick?<\/p>\n
He’s had eight shots in the box, six big chances, three goals. With better finishing he’d have more and is also on penalties.<\/p>\n
Keep an eye on his injury status.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Eberechi Eze, Arsenal, \u00a37.6m – Fulham (a) With Martin Odegaard set for a spell on the sidelines, Eze…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":217301,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[563],"tags":[64,63,596,85],"class_list":["post-217300","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-football","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-football","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217300","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=217300"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/217300\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/217301"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=217300"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=217300"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=217300"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
