FPL Picks – Game Week 2

Formation 3-4-3

Goalkeeper - David Raya (£5.5m) Arsenal

The Spanish international won player of the match at Old Trafford last week, after making key saves to help Arsenal get off to the perfect start. He’s a reliable pick after seven saves and 10 points gained.

Defence - Patrick Dorgu (£5.5m) Man United

The Dane defender showed his attacking threat against Arsenal last weekend, hitting the post with one of two efforts. Meanwhile, Dorgu’s advanced position at left wing back gives him the potential to deliver strong points against Fulham.

Defence - William Saliba (£6m) Arsenal

The French international was a contender for player of the match last week at Old Trafford with an incredible performance. He will be looking to make it back to back clean sheets this Saturday as Arsenal take on Leeds at the Emirates.

Defence - Daniel Munoz (£5.5m) Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace are at home to Nottingham Forest this weekend looking for their first win of the season, after they were unlucky not to win at Chelsea last week, settling for a draw. Munoz the attacking Colombian wing back loves to roam forward at every chance and at just £5.5m is guaranteed to rack up the points on FPL this season with goals and assists.

Midfield - Antoine Semenyo (£7.1m) AFC Bournemouth

Bournemouth’s winger stole the spotlight from Mohamed Salah (£14.5m) and Liverpool’s other attackers in the season opener, netting twice and collecting 15 points at Anfield. Next up, Semenyo faces a Wolves side still healing from a 4-0 home defeat to Man City. 

Midfield - Tijjani Reijnders (£5.6m) Man City

More than 930,000 managers have already turned to the Dutchman, making him this season’s first major bandwagon following his goal and assist on his Man City debut. Should Reijnders retain an attacking role against Spurs, he has the potential to deliver immediate returns on that growing trust.

Midfield - Declan Rice (£6.5m) Arsenal

Declan Rice recorded an assist in Arsenal’s win on the opening day. The gunners will look to add to their set piece magic this Saturday. With Rice on corners and free kicks, he is a must in midfield for his assists from set pieces.

Midfield - Bryan Mbuemo (£8m) Man United

With 20 goals and 7 assists last season, Mbeumo was a hit on FPL. With a big transfer this summer to Man United he is expected to add to that tally this season. He looked a real threat last week on his debut, and will be looking to get his first goal this Sunday when United face Fulham.

Striker - Chris Wood (£7.6m) Nottingham Forest

After 2 goals on the opening day Chris Wood has started where he left off last season. He recorded 20 goals and 3 assists last season, and is well underway to achieving that record again.

Striker - Jean-Philippe Mateta (£7.5m) Crystal Palace

Mateta scored midweek to mark a historic night for Palace in the conference league, securing their first win in Europe. After 14 goals last season Mateta is great value at just £7.5m, a bargain that can’t be missed. He will be looking to kick start his seasons tally in the premier league this weekend at home to Forest.

Striker - Eliezer Mayenda Dossou (£5.5m) Sunderland

Last seasons play off hero Mayenda, got off to the dream start last week after scoring a great header in Sunderland’s 3-0 win over West Ham. The Spanish under 21 international could be this years surprise package at just £5.5m.
