Sturridge’s momentum after last week’s brace…
After netting twice against Villa last week, the Liverpool forward is set to be rested for this evening’s Europa League clash with Sion as Brendan Rodgers desperately tries to keep him out of the treatment room. Whilst Sergio Aguero, Diego Costa and Wayne Rooney have struggled in the premium bracket, Sturridge has wasted no time in settling into his stride as the Reds moved to 3-4-1-2 to accommodate his talents up top. A Merseyside derby trip to Everton affords him another platform to impress and stake a claim for our three-man frontlines.
Aguero at home to the Magpies…
Can last night’s late penalty against Monchengladbach prove the catalyst for a goal rush? Despite scoring just once in the league this season, Aguero is the overwhelming favourite in this week’s Captain Poll ahead of a home clash against struggling Newcastle. As Alexis Sanchez showed last week, our patience in the big hitters can be emphatically rewarded but should he blank again, many may feel it’s time to reassess the 13.2-priced frontman.
Hazard and Pedro against the Saints…
Four home matches in six would typically be the time to load up on Chelsea’s big hitters but this season is proving something of an exception. With Diego Costa still suspended, the Chelsea midfield duo look the best chance of points as Jose Mourinho’s side attempt to bounce back from their Newcastle draw, though with clean sheets in each of their last two road trips, visitors Southampton have stepped up their resilience on the road. Should the Blues stutter again, Hazard and Pedro owners may well re-evaluate their options over the international break.
The Vardy bandwagon…
The Leicester forward has been snapped up by over 300,00 FPL managers after underlining his fixture-proof appeal with a double at home to Arsenal. Vardy – who, it transpires, played with a broken wrist last weekend – has already risen 0.2 this week and sits in 20% of FPL sides after blanking just once in the first seven matches under Claudio Ranieri. A trip to Norwich strengthens his chances of maintaining that run and with the Foxes’ schedule remaining kind until Gameweek 14, the Vardy bandwagon could roll on if he delivers again at Carrow Road.
Lamela as a differential…
Handed a second straight start at home to City last week, the Argentine was instrumental in guiding Spurs to a stunning 4-1 win, courtesy of a goal and assist. With Heung-Min Son sidelined due to a foot injury, Lamela – who has opened the scoring in this evening’s clash with Monaco – looks in line for another spot in the first XI as Mauricio Pochettino’s team roll up to the Liberty seeking a fourth successive victory. Will Lamela finally justify that £30m outlay to Roma and emerge as a real mid-price midfield option or will Saturday’s showing prove no more than a false dawn?
