Premier League Fantasy Football Tips: Round 10

Southampton and Leicester will kick-off Round 10 of the Premier League tonight as the Saints look to pick up a first home win of the season. The round will also include Liverpool vs. Tottenham and Norwich vs. Manchester Utd on Sunday afternoon. Here's your weekly look at our predicted goals data to assist with your fantasy selections over the next few days.

Using the average taken from the thousands of picks to have been made in our main game - the Premier League Predictor - we're able to provide you with a 'predicted goals' tally for each team in every round of the competition and we believe this can come in handy when choosing between certain players for your fantasy points. Here's how the data is looking ahead of this weekend.

Round Ten: Predicted Goals (PG)

Like the Premier League table, it's Liverpool and Manchester City who top our predicted goals chart this week though it's City who are slightly ahead in this instance as they're expected to score 3 goals against Aston Villa in Saturday's early kick-off. Chelsea have been scoring fairly freely on the road meaning Tammy Abraham could well prove popular like Sergio Aguero, Raheem Sterling, Mo Salah and Sadio Mane while Arsenal and Leicester round off the top 5 expected top scorers.



As well as being likely to find success in front of goal this evening, the Superbru community also rates Leicester's chances of keeping a clean sheet - more so than any other team with the exception of Manchester City. Pereira and Chilwell are both good full-back options who may be involved in attacking returns even if Southampton to happen to spoil their attempted shutout at St Mary's.

Round Ten: Players to Consider

With the above data and notes in mind, here are my tips for this weekend's action. I consider each of these players fairly risky, but as usual, the point is to raise some potential ideas and talking points rather than just stating the obvious fact that Raheem Sterling, Kevin de Bruyne and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang may well score this weekend.



Youri Tielemans
Like the rest of the community, I rate Leicester's chances at Southampton. James Maddison and Jamie Vardy are both very strong options but I think Youri Tielemans is also worth talking about. The Belgian managed a goal last week (his second of the campaign) and has deserved more assists than the single one he has managed, in my opinion. Maddison will likely be playing more advanced than Tielemans meaning he has far greater popularity among brus but if you're in need of a differential to make up some points in either of our PL fantasy tournaments he may well be worth a go. I'll likely be including him in my full fantasy side ahead of a great run of fixtures for Leicester while opting for Maddison in the daily tournament.

Anthony Martial
Martial returned from injury last week as a sub against Liverpool before starting and scoring a penalty in Belgrade last night. United's predicted goals tally of 1.70 is arguably optimistic based on the fact that they've failed to score more than once in game since the opening day, but Norwich are poor defensively and you'd think Martial, Rashford and James will receive chances on the counter-attack. I think he'll start, and if he does it'll likely be down the middle as a 9.

Aaron Connolly
Brighton have a few good fixtures coming up and Connolly has looked really sharp alongside Neal Maupay in recent weeks. This pick is definitely the bravest of the three as it's yet to be seen how Trossard's return to fitness will impact the number of minutes Connolly gets but Brighton's style under Potter and their upcoming opposition means there's a chance of goals if he does play. Perhaps keep this one on your watchlist rather than taking up a crucial striker spot in your team for now, but if Potter finds a way of starting all three of the players mentioned in this paragraph together, we could see some exciting attacking returns!


Best of luck to you all with your fantasy teams this weekend.
