Manchester City are brushing aside everyone in their path, Tottenham are growing in stature, Leicester City seem to be finding their swag back and Brighton are making a good account of themselves in the Premier League. Players from these teams can be the right lift that every Draft Fantasy manager needs and hence a look at the best picks for this week.  Leroy Sane “He brought his players to another level”, said Leroy Sane of Pep Guardiola and that is exactly what Pep is doing to Sane. He has been as unstoppable as his Manchester City team, with three goals...

The most eye-catching fixture this weekend in terms of quality and narrative will take place at Stamford Bridge. Chelsea welcome Manchester United to the capital. This fixture has been one of the Premier League’s best since Roman Abramovich bought the Blues, but it has taken on another dynamic in recent seasons as their former manager Jose Mourinho is in charge at Old Trafford. He achieved a lot of success with Chelsea and he is now looking to become the first manager to win the Premier League title with two different clubs. Here are three to start and three to...

Sunday’s line-up of Premier League fixtures has thrown up a real treat ahead of the looming international break as Manchester United take the trip down south to face reigning champions Chelsea. It’s a heavyweight clash that’s always earmarked as the ‘one to watch’ from the second the fixture lists are drawn out over the summer and Sunday’s encounter at Stamford Bridge has all the hallmarks of being a classic as Antonio Conte’s side desperately try to stay within reach of their rivals at the top. The Blues are already nine points adrift of Manchester City in their defence of...

When it was announced back in early June that Arsenal were set to sign left-back Sead Kolasinac from Schalke on a free transfer, there weren’t too many Gunners fans that even batted an eyelid at the signing. The 23-year-old was unheard of outside of Germany and as such was a bit of an unknown entity heading into the Premier League season, and there were lingering doubts over whether the Bosnian could add anything to Arsene Wenger’s side and help the north London side in their top-four push. However, ten games into the new campaign and any pre-season reservations about Kolasinac have been...

Manchester United have been one of the leading teams in the Premier League so far and they are emerging as the biggest challengers to Manchester City. Jose Mourinho is once again proving his managerial ability after two underwhelming seasons in the Premier League. Last season, the Portuguese manager did well in the cup competitions, but he will be keen to compete in the league this season. No manager has won the Premier League with two different clubs and the current United boss will be keen to become the first. One of the selection dilemmas that he has at the...

Two sides at opposite ends of the Premier League table will clash at the weekend in their final match before the international break when basement boys Crystal Palace take the short trip across London to face rivals Tottenham. Whilst on paper there won’t be many people giving Roy Hodgson’s side a chance at Wembley Stadium, not least because of Tottenham’s impressive dismantling of reigning Champions League holders Real Madrid during the week, the visit of Palace may not be as easy a test as first imagined for the hosts. They seem to be well on their way to turning...

The Waiver Wire must go on, but it continues to be stretched thin as the must-haves (Leroy Sane, Pascal Gross, Phil Jones, Antonio Rudiger, and Davinson Sanchez) are already taken in many competitive leagues. Nevertheless, the powers that be continue to slowly shift, albeit more at a glacial pace rather than sudden and exciting quakes. Here are the latest players who have edged themselves into consideration. Demarai Gray, MID, Leicester Claude Puel gave Leicester the new-manager-bump, and his new squad dispatched Everton who are still searching for their new boss. The uber-talented Gray (just 1% owned) has been starved...
