Jamie Vardy
Leicester City - FWD - 5.0m - 1.8% Ownership
Fixture: BUR
Jamie Vardy came back from injury with a tremendous performance in his first premier league start for Leicester City. The Leicester forward scored a goal and managed 4 assists in his first start of the season. He picked up a whopping 21 points in Game week 5, after claiming all 3 bonus points against Manchester United. The Englishman has gone under the radar since his GW5 haul, with Ulloa attracting more suitors than him. Vardy’s ownership has remained very low at 1.8%, with Ulloa’s soaring to 19.7% with the most transfers in this week. Vardy seems to be a very creative forward, the forward has created 7 chances in the past 2 weeks, this is the highest amongst forwards and 2nd highest for all positions. He also possesses great goal threat along with his creativity, with him keeping up pace with Ulloa for Shots on target, and maintaining a decent amount of touches in the penalty area.
This week Leicester face a Burnley side that are still wincing from their 4-0 loss to West Brom. The game will be played at the King Power Stadium, and Leicester have been fantastic at home, having scored 8 goals in 3 games on home ground this season. A home fixture against a side that has just conceded 4 goals in their last away game looks an opportune one for a Leicester forward, and any of them are great picks for game week 7. With Vardy’s ownership remaining so low and Ulloa’s doing the complete opposite, I’ve decided to go for Leicester’s No. 9 who remains a fantastic differential and one who looks to be an excellent alternative to the popular argentinian. I back Vardy to shine alongside Ulloa this game week if not outscore him. He looks like a top option for a punt this week.
Abel Hernandez
Hull City - FWD - 6.9m - 0.3% Ownership
Fixture: CPL
Abel Hernandez has scored twice in his first 3 games for Hull City. The forward has only managed 206 minutes out of a possible 270 in those 3 games, so 2 goals in that time is a very impressive record. The Uruguay international had a great record at his previous club with 14 goals and 3 assists in 28 appearances in his last season there, whilst also impressing on the international stage with 8 goals in 15 matches for his national side. Hernandez clearly has the ability to score goals and has shown early signs that he’s capable of doing just that in the Premier league for Hull City this season. He is owned by a meagre 0.3% of FPL managers and looks like a nice differential for those willing to take a punt on him.
Crystal Palace roll up to the KC Stadium this weekend, a whole different side to the Palace team we saw last season. This new Palace side have scored 10 times this season, but have conceded just as many this season. Since Tony Pulis’ departure, Crystal Palace have been anything but solid at the back, especially away from home where they have let in 7 of those 10 goals conceded. This makes Abel Hernandez an excellent prospect this week with the forward in fine form coupled with an opportunistic fixture to score once again for his new club. Hernandez also seems to have been handed spot kick duties, with him stepping up and scoring from the spot against City last weekend. He looks like another great punt for this week, with form, fixture and spot kick duties on his side.
Diafra Sakho
West Ham - FWD - 5.5m - 0.7% Ownership
Fixture: QPR
The Senegalese international is looking like an astute signing by West Ham, with 3 goals in his first 3 starts. The forward has provided consistent returns since he was awarded his first start in game week 4, and looks like a bargain at a price of 5.5m. In a new look West Ham side that have notched 10 times already this season, Sakho looks a fantastic short-term punt with them facing QPR and bur in their next two games.
In game week 7, Sakho faces an incredibly porous QPR defence at Boleyn Ground. The R’s defence have conceded 14 goals so far this season, the 2nd highest in the league. They are also 3rd for Goal Attempts in the Box Conceded, which bodes well for Sakho who is tied 4th for Shots inside the box in the past 3 Game weeks. He is even with Aguero and only one behind Diego Costa. Game week 7 looks like a golden opportunity for Sakho to award his new owners this week and to continue his 3 week goal streak. An in-form forward, in an attacking side, against a hopeless QPR defence at home? Sakho looks like a top punt for this week.
