Stewart Downing - 2.4% Ownership
MID - 5.3m - West Ham
Fixture: mun
Form: 1 goal and 2 assists in the last 5 games
Downing has been quietly ticking away the past couple of weeks. He’s already managed 3 assists and 1 goal this season, and his ownership is still incredibly low at 2.4%. His assist potential is immense and he’s already created an impressive 16 chances this season, 2nd highest in the league so far. That’s only two behind Cesc Fabregas. This looks set to continue with a relatively kind fixture list of mun, QPR and bur as his next 3.
West ham are also in terrific form having beaten Liverpool, 3-1 last week. They have also scored 9 goals so far this season, which is the 4th highest for teams at the moment. Downing has been an integral part of this new look West ham side, and has arguably been their best player this season. Coming off the back of 2 consecutive assists, Downing will be looking to add to his impressive assists tally this season, and also put a few in the back of the net along the way. The England international has already scored a goal this season.
This week, Downing faces Manchester United at Old Trafford, it might seem like a daunting fixture, but in FPL terms it’s fantastic for Downing’s FPL potential. Manchester United have been anything but solid at the back, they have already conceded 6 goals this season, and conceded 3 to Leicester City just last week. Now with Blackett suspended, and an injury to Evans, their defence can only get worse. Despite like what it might seem, this is a opportune fixture for West ham to score goals, and for Downing to get his owners some FPL points.
Jason Puncheon - 3.4% Ownership
MID - 5.9m - Crystal Palace
Fixture: LEI
Form: 1 goal and 1 assist in the last 5 games
The DGW hero of GW 34 last season hasn’t got much attention this season so far. Puncheon has already scored 1 goal and picked up an assist in the first 5 games. Part of a new look Crystal Palace side, Puncheon looks like one of the biggest attacking threats in the side. Palace were written off after Tony Pulis’ departure, but Neil Warnock’s arrival has given Palace a new look, one that’s got Palace scoring many more goals than they did last season. Crystal Palace have already scored 8 goals this season, a very different style of football from the way they played last season. This looks good for the Palace midfielder’s owners, with his chances of scoring goals looking much better this season.
Coming off a high in game week 5 after beating Everton at Goodison Park, Palace will want to keep this good form going and come away with another win this week. In game week 6, Palace face another team in hot form, Leicester City. The match will be played at Selhurst Park and will be a clash of 2 unexpected in-form teams. So far this season, both teams have looked a lot better putting the ball in their opponent’s nets than keeping it out of theirs. Much like above with Lukaku, this should be a fine opportunity for Puncheon to get his name on the scoresheet. A home fixture against a leaky Leicester side has his owners and prospective owners grinning, or at least that’s what I hope you will be doing after this game week, if you pick him!
Romelu Lukaku - 9.9% Ownership
FWD - 9m - Everton
Fixture: liv
Form: 2 goals in the last 2 games
Everton’s 13/14 season star loanee has had a decent start after a permanent move to club. Playing up front for the Toffees, Lukaku has already netted twice this season. Contributing to the significant number of goals Everton have scored this season, 2nd highest amongst EPL clubs and only 2 goals behind Chelsea.
This game week, the big Belgian will play in his first Merseyside Derby as a full Everton player. On the blue side of the heated rivalry, Lukaku will be looking to lead his side to a victory by putting their chances in the back of the net, as he did twice in the same fixture last season.-season, many thought that Liverpool will tighten up at teh back with Suarez’s departure, and this idea was helped by the signing of Dejan Lovren from Southampton. Although, this has hardly been the case with Liverpool looking very shaky at the back and have already conceded 7 goals this season. There tends to be lots of goals in this fixture, and it’s one Red and Blue fans look forward to every season. With both teams’ defences leaking goals this season, and their attacks looking menacing, it is more likely than not that this fixture becomes a goal fest. It looks like a prime fixture for Lukaku to grab his FPL owners some points.
Everton will be looking to continue their fantastic attacking form this week, and Lukaku will be key in doing so against Liverpool. I can see a big haul for the former Chelsea man in Game week 6, one to match the one he got last season in this fixture.
