Manchester City, Chelsea, and Tottenham would love to resume from where they had left off, before the international break, while Manchester United should be looking out for some help from its hospital bed. Premier League and fixture congestion begin now and managers have to pick players with the future in mind. Some help would, of course, do. Antonio Valencia – Manchester United Antonio Valencia got himself rid of the No.7 shirt, citing psychological reasons. Maybe it was too heavy for him. Maybe he was not ready. Now, he is the first choice captain of Manchester United and he couldn’t...

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...

With the Premier League clicking into a rhythm after the International break, it is important for the draft managers to follow suit. Here we look at the five best possible picks for the upcoming game week. David De Gea – Manchester United Joel Matip thought he had scored. Phil Coutinho thought he had scored. Manuel Lanzini thought he had scored. They would have unless it was one David De Gea that they had to beat. Jamie Carragher thinks De Dea is the best goalkeeper in the world and that is probably as true as it can get. The Spaniard has...

Ben Davies – Tottenham Hostpur Ben Davies has recently experienced heartbreak with his national team Wales, but he is flying with his club side Tottenham. The wing-back already has two goals and three assists. He plays a key pass in the final third every 11 minutes, which is absolutely ridiculous and puts in a cross every 19 minutes, making him the perfect teammate for Harry Kane. The infamous Danny Rose rant looks ludicrous now. He might have to use his time on the bench to ‘Google’ and get to know his teammates better, because Davies is not giving back...

Romelu Lukaku – Manchester United Manchester United courted Morata the entire summer only to pull the plug on the deal at the last moment, to sign Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku. So far, so good. Lukaku has six goals in the Premier League so far and all the six have come from inside the box. 14 of his shots have been on target, which is the highest amongst England’s top flight forwards this season. He also seems very adept at creating chances for his teammates. He has created 10 big chances this season, which is the again the best amongst...

Christian Eriksen – Tottenham Teams are beginning to sit deep, cede possession and frustrate Tottenham. The Swansea match was the perfect example for it. At times it looked it was a game that happened only in Swansea’s final third. West Ham is going to be no different. It is against such cramped opposition that Tottenham need Christian Eriksen most.

He has so far had the most touches by a midfielder in the final third and has also received the...

Harry Kane – Tottenham He started the week at 99 goals and midway through the week, he is at 103, with the four goals coming against Everton, perennial top six contenders, and Borussia Dortmund, perennial dark horses. Kane has, so far, had 99 touches in the final third, of which 33 have been inside the penalty area. These 33 touches have led to 21 shots. These are league high numbers for forwards in the Premier League. Swansea cannot play Tottenham and Kane at a more inopportune moment. That conversion from touches to shots would make any businessman proud. Draft...

With the Premier League restarting after the International break, we provide draft managers with five picks that could steal the show this weekend. Draft Fantasy for the Champions League is coming soon! Register your interest now! Have you got what it takes? Sadio Mane – Liverpool Mane already has three goals. His shot accuracy of 70% is highest among people to have taken more than five shots. He has also had 21 touches inside the penalty box, which is higher than his Liverpool counterparts and just behind Kane and Lukaku. All these point to the fact that Mane is...
