Fantasy EPL Gameweek 10 Sleepers XI
For this article, we use the % rostered from Fantrax. Our only rule is that each player we highlight is required to be rostered in 60% of leagues or below at the time of writing. Therefore there's a good chance these players will be free agents in your Fantrax Draft League!
GK: Lukasz Fabianski
Team: West Ham
Opponent: Aston Villa (Away)
Rostered: 35%
Points Last Gameweek: 18
Prospects: Fabianski has kept back-to-back clean sheets, and could have a decent chance at another one this weekend. Villa are an inconsistent team, so it remains to be seen how they will do. Fabianski will likely have a few saves to make, and with a clean sheet could see another 15+ score.
DEF: Mohammed Salisu
Team: Southampton
Opponent: Watford (away)
Rostered: 35%
Points Last Gameweek: 8.25
Prospects: Salisu is almost a mainstay in this article, and having scored 12.25 ghost points last week he should be in for a similar output vs. Watford. Watford are on a high after their 5 goal attacking fest, but I don't see them scoring more than 1-2 goals this weekend. Even with that Salisu should be close to double digits.
DEF: Nuno Tavares
Team: Arsenal
Opponent: Leicester (Away)
Rostered: 10%
Points Last Gameweek: 8.75
Prospects: Tavares made his first EPL start last weekend, and could be in for his 2nd in the early kickoff. Leicester might be without Vardy, and if so I like Tavares for a high upside DEF2. He gets forward plenty and could get an attacking return even if Arsenal don't keep a clean sheet this weekend.
DEF: Ben Johnson
Team: West Ham United
Opponent: Aston Villa (Away)
Rostered: 7%
Points Last Gameweek: 14.25
Prospects: Moyes has a tough decision to make this weekend on Johnson vs. Coufal. Johnson has arguably been West Ham's best player since he broke into the team this season, but Coufal has been a mainstay. If Johnson gets the start he is one of the best streamers out there for defenders.
DEF: Rayan Ait-Nouri
Team: Wolves
Opponent: Everton (Home)
Rostered: 13%
Points Last Gameweek: 12.25
Prospects: Ait-Nouri finally made his first start for Wolves last weekend, and was all over the pitch. He did come off with a minor injury, but assuming it's nothing serious he should get another start on Monday. The biggest issue is Monday is the last game but a pivot to Kilman is the right move if Ait-Nouri doesn't start.
MID: Christian Norgaard
Team: Brentford
Opponent: Burnley (Away)
Rostered: 29%
Points Last Gameweek: 12.5
Prospects: Norgaard is steadily becoming a useable Fantrax asset, and has a very good matchup against one of the worst teams in the EPL on Saturday. Norgaard should offer MID5 value this weekend, but it remains to be seen if he can keep up this production.
MID: Milot Rashica
Team: Norwich
Opponent: Leeds (Home)
Rostered: 24%
Points Last Gameweek: 1
Prospects: Rashica is the punt of the week coming up against a leaky Leeds defence. He could get the start after coming on at half-time against Chelsea. Rashica hasn't exactly made a name for himself in the EPL yet, but will be looking to start turning a corner, and there is no better matchup than a home one vs. Leeds.
MID: Scott McTominay
Team: Manchester United
Opponent: Tottenham (Away)
Rostered: 17%
Points Last Gameweek: 11
Prospects: McTominay is one of the only players who can hold their head high from last weekend's massacre loss to Liverpool. His good performance showed in his score, and he was very unlucky not to get an assist after laying it on a plate for Cavani. McTominay should see another score of at least 6+ but his threat from set-pieces and Spurs' questionable defenders makes him a solid MID4 this week.
MID: Stuart Armstrong
Team: Southampton
Opponent: Watford (Away)
Rostered: 39%
Points Last Gameweek: 5
Prospects: Armstrong could finally make his return to the Saints XI against Watford. Armstrong has been a decent fantasy option over the last few seasons, and in deeper leagues could offer MID3/4 value. Don't expect him to play the full 90 but he could be productive enough to give you a score within the 7-10 point range with the potential for a return against a leaky Watford defence.
FWD: Josh King
Team: Watford
Opponent: Southampton (Home)
Rostered: 56%
Points Last Gameweek: 39
Prospects: King is fresh off one of his best ever EPL performances, having scored a hattrick against his former club Everton. King has always been a decent Fantrax option and should be in good spirits before this gameweek. I wouldn't be surprised to see King get another return this weekend.
FWD: Sergi Canos
Team: Brentford
Opponent: Burnley (Away)
Rostered: 39%
Points Last Gameweek: 5
Prospects: Canos has disappointed fantasy managers who drafted him this summer. He was always going to struggle to replicate his Championship numbers in the EPL. This week I do like him as a FWD3 punt considering the very friendly matchup Brentford have. Canos will be looking to continue some form after his goal against Stoke in midweek. Nick Pope isn't having a good season, and I wouldn't be surprised to see Canos get on the scoresheet or provide an assist.
