Waiver Wire Gameweek 22
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL Waiver Wire Gameweek 22 targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Sven Botman (Ros 39%)
Prospects: The Dutchman is back with a bang from his ACL injury with 8 points in his first start and 14 with a clean sheet in his second. He is historically not a great ghoster, but Newcastle have been on an amazing run and while Bournemouth should be able to trouble them defensively, Botman is worth adding for medium to long-term value regardless of whether you start him this weekend or not.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
Mateus Goncalo Espanha Fernandes (Ros 24%)
Prospects: The "other Portuguese Fernandes" has been putting up very good ghost points recently adding a 9.75-pointer to his run in the gut-wrenching loss to Man United. At Nottingham and against Newcastle up next which on form seems like the worst set of fixtures right now in the Premier League. However Mateus Fernandes has been getting his points with very minimal (1G, 1A) attacking returns, so the fact that they are facing tough opposition shouldn't be an issue. Recently, he has also commanded quite a few set pieces, and with the height of Bednarek, Harwood-Bellis, Bree and even Onuachu to aim at, he could rack up key passes. He is of the Ayari-mould, a player you have no qualms about dropping/benching but one that will help you solidify your midfield.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 0-1 FAB to get him.
Rodrigo Gomes (Ros 7%)
Prospects: The young forward has been getting a steady run of starts lately, but not where he or us would have expected. He has been playing full-back for Vitor Pereira's side and playing well. He has had back-to-back 8-point performances in the last 2 games mostly propped up by the coveted 3-point KP+ACNC combinations. A decent floor with an attacking threat is all we want from our streaming forwards, and he will provide great cover this weekend as Wolves are playing the Monday game.
