FPL GW27 Saturday Fixture Wise Review

• A game dominated by the home team who are now on a 10-game unbeaten run
• Broja & Elyounoussi were the most advanced players for the Saints followed by one of the goal scorers – Che Adams

Southampton assets to be considered:

• Armando Broja (£5.4m)
• Mohamed Elyounoussi (£5.4m)
• Kyle-Walker Peters (£4.8m)

LEEDS V SPURS

• A game which has brought an end to Marcelo Bielsa’s stint at Leeds United which is unfortunate but something which was bound to happen
• 5th game in a row where the home team has conceded 3+ goals
• Tottenham, as expected, responded well after their shock loss to Burnley
• Kulusevski, yet again, was the most advance player for Spurs and did score his 2nd goal in as many games
• Kane has now returned 4x in his last 3 games

Spurs assets to be considered:

• Kane (£12.2m)
• Son (£10.8m)
• Kulusevski (£6m)

BRENTFORD v NEWCASTLE

• An early red card to Joshua Dasilva did give an advantage to the Magpies in a game which was crucial to both as far as relegation battle is concerned
• Ryan Fraser stole the show with an all-round display. He was also the most advanced player for Newcastle
• Joelinton keeps on improving under Eddie Howe by scoring his 2nd goal of the season with a thumping header
• Newcastle are now on a run of 4 wins out of last 5

CRYSTAL PALACE v BURNLEY

• A game with 16 shots in total with 8 of them taken from inside the box (6 by Palace & 2 by Burnley)
• Burnley was kept quiet by Palace in most departments. Home team was unfortunate to concede an own goal when Milivojevic deflected a cross from Lennon
• This was Clarets’ 4th draw in last 9 games
• Zaha looked sharp yet again and was unfortunate not to be on the scoring sheet as he he hit the woodwork once
• Olise was the man of the match with a scintillating display from the right side and was a never-ending menace for Burnley defenders

FPL assets to be considered from GW30 onwards:

• Olise (£5.4m)
• Zaha (£6.8m)

MANCHESTER UNITED v WATFORD

• United fans will be scratching their heads as to how the scoreline stayed at 0-0
• Bruno Fernandes on any other day would have pocketed a double return
• Elanga continues to impress and had his best game of the season so far. Should have been on the scoresheet with a goal or an assist
• This was United’s 4th draw in last 8 games

FPL assets to be considered from GW31 onwards:

• Bruno Fernandes (£11.7m)
• Jadon Sancho (£9m)

BRIGHTON v VILLA

• Another unexpected defensive display by Brighton who now have conceded 8 goals and scored none in the last 3
• This was the 3rd instance where their xG was <1 at home which was also third in a row
• AVL produced one of the better defensive displays at the back by keeping a clean sheet after 4 games

FPL assets to be considered:

• Ramsey (£4.8m)
