Waiver Wire Gameweek 24
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL Waiver Wire Gameweek 24 targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Jake O'Brien (Ros 4%)
Prospects: Everton are currently a team to buy "low" into as the Toffees have finally won back-to-back games for the first time all season. Someone say new manager bounce? This "record" seems a bit crazy given they've kept 8 clean sheets so far this season, which is similar to the likes of Arsenal. As for the DGW though, we're certainly not loving the second fixture versus Merseyside rivals Liverpool, however with Leicester up first, the team that's scored the fewest goals (4) in the last 8 gameweeks, we're loving the chances of a shut-out, especially with ghost points in the mix. There's been a new face that has emerged with Moyes at the helm, and he's actually young. The 23 year-old Irish DEF has displaced ole Ashley and is doing just as well, if not better. O'Brien's 7.8 gPPS is only 2nd to Tarkowski and assuming that he's first choice, we're expecting 12-15 FPts across the DGW. An acceptable haul for any DEF-3.
Verdict: I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.
Idrissa Gueye (Ros 24%)
Prospects: One of the staple picks during any double gameweek is a steady-eddy. These utility assets don't always get the respect that they deserve during most of the season but this reliable option is almost a must-start during any double gameweek. Assets like Gueye play at least 90 minutes every single gameweek and tend to accumulate 6-8 FPts nearly every match, which is perfect as a MID-4/5 this gameweek. In GW21, Gueye managed to register his first set of attacking returns for the season which resulted in only his 2nd double digit score all season. So really, once this double gameweek is over, you can get rid of Gueye again. But for this double gameweek, the Evertonian with the most tackles won (43) and most interceptions (27) is sure to get you around 10-12 FPts this gameweek.
Verdict:Â I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 1-2 FAB to get him.
Beto (Ros 1 %)
Prospects: Poor Dominic Calvert-Lewin. After waiting 16 games to finally score in the season again, he's only gone and injured his hamstring right before the double gameweek. However, not all is lost. You might not get the penalties with his replacement as that seems to have been assigned to Ndiaye, but you should still get 2 starts with Beto. He showed a lot of promise, effort and desire when he first broke onto the scene last season, but that charm quickly wore away as managers realised that he was struggling for starts and minutes, let alone goals. However we're going to assume that this might have been the Dyche-effect and we are willing to have hope again under a slightly differently footballing philosophy with Moyes. Everton are supposed to be playing a bit freer and with more attacking impetus so Beto's 5.25 FPts in 76 minutes after coming on as a sub for DCL is a good start. If Beto can manage to score his 2nd goal of the campaign against Leicester, anything versus Liverpool would be a bonus. He's a tidy FWD-3 to roster this GW, debatable beyond that.
Verdict: Â I would use a low-tier waiver pick or 2-3 FAB to get him.
