The 10% Club returns to look at the best under-the-radar picks for Fantasy Premier League in Gameweek 3, selected with the help of Opta data. Do you own any of these potential gems?
Lewis Hall would be our main priority from their defence.
The left-back is on corner-taking duties and hit the defensive contributions threshold against Spurs, also claiming 11 points for his efforts.
Hall managed 11 DEFCONs in the opening game against Liverpool, too. That suggests his floor is higher than the attacking option of Dedic, who is also yet to hit the threshold for clearances, blocks, interceptions and tackles.
Plus, Hall offers a threat at the other end with his set-piece responsibilities. Only two defenders have recorded a higher expected assists (xA) total than Hall’s 0.66 this Premier League season (James Hill – 0.74, Rúben Dias – 0.71).
The fixtures are favourable for Newcastle as well. They next host Bournemouth before Leeds United (A), Hull City (H), Coventry City (A) and Aston Villa (H), making Hall a great long-term selection.
While many managers are looking at centre-backs to maximise their DEFCON potential, Hall has proven he can hit that from left-back, and could soon pay attacking dividends with his set-piece deliveries. His 7.5% ownership won’t stick around for long.
DEF – John Egan | 4.0m | 3.8% Ownership
Hull have made a flying start to life back in the Premier League, keeping two clean sheets in back-to-back victories over Manchester United and Coventry. They are one of only two teams yet to concede, along with Arsenal.
Central to their initial success has been Sergej Jakirović operating with a five-man defence in front of impressive Greek goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis.
Although Tzolakis has returned consecutive 10-point hauls, we’d suggest looking at Hull’s defenders for the visit of Villa. They’ve replaced Ollie Watkins with Nicolas Jackson, lost Morgan Rogers to Chelsea, and have yet to register a shot on target this campaign.
Of course, the Tigers will concede goals, but their defenders will be frontrunners for defensive contributions (and the additional two points) based on their setup. Hull have already faced 73 crosses this season – 21 more than any other side before GW3 starts.
Phil Foden, who presents a perfect route into Enzo Maresca’s frontline. The Man City midfielder managed two assists against Crystal Palace, claiming nine points for his efforts.
Although Cherki and Haaland got the goals (two each) at Selhurst Park, Foden missed two Opta-defined big chances, and accumulated the highest expected goals (xG) of any City player with 0.90.
Foden has also scored three more points than Semenyo (7) already, despite his lower price point, and if the England international finds his form in front of goal, he will swiftly become a staple in far more squads.
FWD – Gonzalo García | 6.0m | 4.5% Ownership
Last week we backed Yoane Wissa, who returned eight points on GW2 with his smart finish against Spurs, but the 10% Club is looking at other forward options for the same price.
Nearly a third of all FPL managers own Leeds’ Dominic Calvert-Lewin. He also costs £6.0m and managed eight points on GW2 with his second-half goal against Brentford, but has a tough trip to Brighton up next.
