Players to watch this (2017/2018) season

Morzadec

A Chelsea defender is a must have in a couple of weeks, Christensen would certainly be a big headache saver in terms of funds if he could nail down a spot but I think it's unlikely..

Forking out for Azpi should be worth it, he's incredibly consistent in terms of minutes played, doesn't seem to ever get injured or need resting

Loves them bonus points too. Though if Alonso wakes up he may be less popular.

Well you've certainly put him on my radar with that analysis!

Don't love players who won't guarantee me even the 2 points generally. I'll likely use the transfers and the funds to get a United defender (or two) which is clearly missing from my team at the moment, but with the lack of mid range striker options out there I may well consider Rashford if I end up axeing Morata

So... do we expect Rashford to start this weekend? He's played in every United game this year but seems to be at risk of being rotated with Martial.

He featured in both England's international games but tiredness shouldn't be an issue at his age...

Zlatan back in the squad this weekend so except his gametime to drop imo

The goal west ham scored Saturday was all about the delivery, supplied by the sublime Matsuaka. I tipped him in preseason for the watchlist, still think he's miles better than Cresswell.

Last 3 games he's got a goal and 2 assists (goal in the league cup), and they haven't conceded while he was on the pitch.

Not one to buy now, but at 4.4 he will be gold if he gets a run with WH's decent fixtures.

Bumping this for later when he racks up an assist and CS.

4.4 defender playing tonight as a winger

Hopefully an assist at least!

Zeegelaar (Watford def, 4.4) has made an impressive start to his PL career.

Bought in the summer from Sporting Lisbon, finally got his chance at left wing back ahead of Holebas and in 2 games he's got:
2 clean Sheets
2 assists
5 bonus points

United and Spurs up next for Watford but if he can cement his place for those he'll be a good addition for the Christmas period with Burnley, Palace, Huddersfield, Brighton, Leicester and Swansea between 12th-30th December

EDIT: Meant to add, had a look at a few responses from Watford fans on Twitter, most seem to think he';s a superior player than Holebas and definitely time Holebas was given some competition.

Came on here to post about this lad!

Watching MOTD and very impressed. I suppose any team that is playing 5-3-2 (3-5-2, 3-4-2-1 whatever you want to call it) the wing backs are going to be very attractive options.

But yeah he looked to be getting forward an awful lot and has a great cross on him.

If he looks nailed on he's a no-brainer to bring in

Shedite27

Looked like a 4.4m version of Kolasinac yesterday anyway

Would femenia for .1 more not be a more sensible option for now. Will get much the same returns you would imagine.

Yeah definitely safer / more nailed on at the mo.

But he is "one to watch" undoubtedly, if he starts the next few he's a better option based on recent viewing and returns, looks incredibly attack minded.

Ben Chilwell will hopefully keep his place - would be a great buy at 4.3 and Leicester look to be tightening up at the back

Fuchs has missed the last two for the birth of his kid.

Ah well, thanks for that - had checked for injuries but didn't realise about his new child! Still might make the odd appearance with the xmas fixture congestion I guess or off the bench.

Cuco Martina 4.3 played the last 2 games for everton, 2 clean sheets in 2 gameweeks.

This man is still Cuco Martina.

Treat with extreme caution

Gudmundson 5.0 should be a decent option now. He has been playing well and has 4 assists already and with Brady out he is nailed on to play every game over the busy Xmas period. He will probably see an increase in set pieces aswell.

It's a Burnley attacker though.

At 5 I think he is fairly priced. Plus your buying into the least rotation manager there is out there.

0, 1, -2 and a 3 game ban since I posted this

Ah, THAT'S who put the idea of Zeegalaar in my head

Aye, I was suckered I too. Brutal.

Who to replace him with now is the question.

De hoorn of Swansea has played 90 in the last 7 I think but I already gave Naughton

extra gravy

I suppose it would be silly to chance Holebas for the next 3? Probably a transfer waiting to happen

I've plummed for mariappa purely because he's only 4.1

You seem to have a superfluous "D" in your user name.;)

I see Chilwell still seems to be getting his game, though not exactly a clean sheet magnet
Touch run of fixtures too but only 4.3

sheroman01

Wimmer at 4.2 now and Cameron at 4.3. Stoke in terrible form but a new manager could change that.

extra gravy

Brought Paul Dummett in at 4.2 to raise funds. Rafa seems to love him and they might tighten up now that Lascelles is also back.

Father Hernandez

Luke Shaw at 4.9 could be amazing value if he becomes nailed.

Started 3 of the last 5 for United including the BOU game, getting a CS

Will be watching this Bristol City game with Shaw interest, I wouldn't be surprised to see him start a lot of the PL games over Christmas and into January. All going well, displace Young at LB
