Hide AdScott Dann – the Crystal Palace centre-half looks a strong option for points at both ends of the pitch this weekend. Dann – who has already produced a goal and assist in six appearances – plays host to a West Brom side that has scored just twice in three road trips.
Wes Hoolahan – a home clash with Leicester affords the Norwich playmaker the chance to continue his impressive start to the campaign. Priced at just 5.1, Hoolahan has played a part in three of the Canaries’ four home goals and has served up more assists (five) than any player in the BPL.
Gerard Deulofeu – the Everton winger produced a ten-point haul on his first start of the season last week. Deulofeu delivered two assists and a couple of Bonus Points in the 3-2 win at West Brom and looks set to retain his role on the right for the derby visit of Liverpool.
Glenn Murray – with Callum Wilson sidelined for at least six months, Murray’s eye for goal will be vital to AFC Bournemouth’s survival bid. At a price of just 5.6, Murray – who scored every 139 minutes for Crystal Palace last term – welcomes a Watford defence that’s conceded in every away match so far.
