The back pages were full of it this week; VAR controversy, the Toon revolution toppling European powerhouse PSG and last week’s waiver picks seeing three out of the five picks registering returns. What a week. Having taken stock and caught our breath, we go again with our Gameweek 8 hidden gems and low-owned picks for your consideration…     Timothy Castagne (FUL) DEF      Ownership: 24.1%      Next Fixture: SHU (H) First up for this week’s defender picks is the former Leicester City full back, Timothy Castagne. Having registered 4 shots and 2 key passes since his first start for the...

We did it! We made it through another International Break and now the real football, the only football, fantasy football, can resume. Having bagged a goal from Danjuma and with Emerson unfortunate to not come away with the same last week, we are back for this week’s low owned differentials for your Gameweek 5 waivers.   Serge Aurier (NFO) DEF      Ownership: 21.7%      Next Fixture: BUR (H) The first to feature twice this season, I’m returning to Forest’s defence for Burnley’s visit on Monday evening. While Auriers’ double assist haul in Gameweek 2 will be difficult to top, Burnley haven’t...

Goals galore in gameweek 3 with a few surprise braces from popular fantasy assets. Personally, I’ve been expecting a brace from the bench from Darwin Nunez to be imminent, but I was more surprised to see Sterling’s return to form and a brace for Matty Cash! That’s all water under the bridge now as we race towards the end of the transfer window and headfirst for gameweek 4. Here are a few hidden gems to consider recruiting for this week.   Emerson Palmieiri (WHU) DEF      Ownership: 10.7%      Next Fixture: LUT (H) Following 3-1 triumphs over Chelsea and Brighton, I...

Last week’s picks were a mixed bag, with Aurier’s double assist points saving my blushes after my Everton double-up failed miserably against Aston Villa. It’s perhaps not surprising then, that Villa appears twice in this week’s picks. If you’re seeking to improve your squad for Gameweek 3, here are a few names to keep an eye out for on Friday’s waiver wire and open market.   Lucas Digne (AVL) DEF     Ownership: 12.1%     Next Fixture: BUR (A) Following an assist and a clean sheet in Gameweek 2, Digne provided a further hat-trick of assists in Hibs’ midweek European...

  For some the return will have been glorious, for others, a harsh reminder of the trials and tribulations of daring to venture into such a cruel game as fantasy football. But rest assured, there is a long way to go and the game isn’t won in week 1, but on the waiver wire.   To help, here are some low-owned picks to consider as you look to bolster your squad ahead of Gameweek 2.   Keane (EVE)        Ownership: 10.6% Despite a 1-0 defeat to Fulham on opening day of the season, there were signs of encouragement for Toffee’s...

We’re back! Drafts aplenty, fantasy team tinkering and an absolute rollercoaster of emotions for Kane drafters across the land, we’re here to give you some food for thought on some low owned options that should still be available in the majority of leagues. Best of luck in Gameweek 1 everyone. Let’s get the drama under way!   Carney Chukwuemeka With Chelsea fans having to wait a further 3 to 4 months for Christopher Nkunku to make his Premier League debut, there is a vacant space behind Nicolas Jackson for an attacking midfielder to stake their claim for a place...

With tears barely dry on the cheeks of Salah owners across the country, we dive headfirst back into a premier league fixture list as the first set of midweek fixtures of the 22/23 season get under way. Will Perisic play three games in a row…? Will Klopp play the kids…? Will Pep play the kitman for the matter? Let’s find out with three more waiver picks for a late punt on Gameweek 5… Matheus Nunes (Wolves)                          MID                     Bournemouth (A) As highly coveted as Matheus Nunes is, I did not see myself picking him as a tip for fantasy...

The drama was high and the tempers frayed across the premier league this weekend. Tuchel vs Conte as Chelsea thumped Spurs 2-2, Neville blinked first in the great pundits’ stare-off 2022 and Utd fans aside, everyone had a good chuckle at the seemingly never-ending and calamitous downfall of Manchester Utd. Will Erik Tent Peg turn it around vs a below-par set of Scousers this weekend…time will only tell. In the meantime, let’s have a dabble on the waiver wire for some sneaky punts and dubious gambles… Neco Williams Position: DEF                   Team: Nottingham Forest                 GW Opponent: Everton (A)...
