Here’s the GW2 fantasy premier league “ones to watch”
I’ve also put the removals in strike through and new wording since GW1 in italics to make it easier to follow. Below each position if applicable is a “bubbling under” category for monitoring certain players before they are added to the “ones to watch” list. Remember these are fantasy premier league players in would have in my team.

Ruddy
Jaaskelainen

Mata/Hazard – £9.5m – Quality. form.

Bale / VDV – £9.5m/£9.0m – Quality. fixtures. VDV not selected last week.
Young /Kagawa – £8.5m – Quality. GW2 fixtures. Kagawa now less of a game time risk after performance and selection

Guthrie – Reading – best choice
Britton – Swansea
Whitehead – stoke
Cattermole – sunderland YC risk
Diakite – QPR YC risk
Marveaux
Schneiderlin – Saints
Bubbling under
Fellaini – just want to see whether he plays behind Jelavic this week before adding
Nasri – want to see if he plays in the away game against liverpool as he may only play at home/easier games
Carzola – a bit more monitoring required before fixtures improve
Sigurdsson – how much of a VDV rotation risk will he be
FORWARDS
Aguero/ Tevez £11.5m/£9.0m – quality. form. Tevez with Aguero injury
Rooney £12.0m – quality. pens
RVP – £13.0m – QUALITY – still a game time risk though
Torres – £10m – only. fixtures
Defoe – £7.5m – fixtures value (only if Adebayor doesnt sign)
Adebayor -£9.5m fixtures
Jelavic – £8.5m – fixtures quality
Bent – £8.5m fixtures sleeping giant
Petric – £6.0m pre-season. form
Graham – £6.0m pre-season fixtures
Cisse QPR – £6.5m quality.
I’m not putting a budget section for strikers. I just think the position is too important and theres too much quality to put a filler in.
Bubbling under
Suarez – if he could shoot he would be lethal. needs more monitoring
KEY
quality – an elite player for his position
value – a player at a value that is less than the returns I expect
fixtures – a player facing good fixtures over the next 6 games
budget – filler at the minimum price the position allows. Should play
sleeping giant – a player with past form who may have had a quiet season last year but has the potential for far greater returns than his value
YC – card magnet
DGW – has 2 games in the specified game week
pre-season – has pre-season form
pens – should take penalties
short term – will only play for a few games
Form – current form
