<h3>1. Form</h3>
<p>Often the common denominator and what everyone seems to go on. It&#8217;s important, but not the whole story.</p>
<h3>2. Fixtures</h3>
<p>FPL picks aren&#8217;t for one week. If you&#8217;re bringing someone in, you should be looking toward <em>at least</em> the next four gameweeks. Often the precursor to form, frisking the fixtures allows you to get the jump on the top picks before your rivals.</p>
<h3>3. Value</h3>
<p>The most important concept to get your head around for FPL. We have a budget and every million counts.</p>
<h3>4. Underlying stats</h3>
<p>What people often forget is that last week&#8217;s points are gone. It&#8217;s a player&#8217;s future points potential that matters most and underlying <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a> are a crucial component to gauging this.</p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.56)&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243;][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Defender&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.83&#8243;]<h2 style="text-align: center;">Top Defender &#8211; Ogbonna</h2>
<p>Earlier this season, I never thought that I would recommend getting a West Ham player, let alone one of their defenders. But, credit where its due, Moyes has turned them around at the back and Ogbonna scores very highly in the four fundamentals.</p>
<p><strong>Form</strong> &#8211; 7,9,7,6 &#8211; that&#8217;s not some random figure, but Ogbonna&#8217;s last four scores. A tally that  That includes four bonus points and one assist, suggesting the Italian isn&#8217;t solely reliant on clean sheets.</p>

<p><strong>Value</strong> &#8211; Coming in at a cut-price 4.4, the centre back offers outstounding value.</p>

<p>City have taken the premier league by storm and this young Englishman has played a central role. From a fantasy persepctive, he continues to rack up the points for cut price.</p>
<p><strong>Form </strong>&#8211; Only Hazard and De Bruyne (by one point) have scored more points this season. Chipping in with a 12 point haul last time out, its safe to say he&#8217;s on fire.</p>
<p><strong>Fixtures</strong> &#8211; Not that these really matter for City, but they are very good nonetheless. Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Newcastle and Watford face the City juganaught next.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong> &#8211; Still great value at 8.5, making him almost a must have at this stage.</p>

<p>Mentioned as punt a few weeks back, Rooney has gone on to tally an impressive 34 points over the last four matches. With a  lack of forwards to chose a present, England&#8217;s record scorer is making a bold claim for inclusion in our squads.</p>
<p><strong>Form</strong> – averaging a staggering 9.8ppg over the last five matches, Rooney&#8217;s form is red hot. Known as a confidence player, there&#8217;s every chance that will continue</p>
<p><strong>Fixtures</strong> – Not brilliant in all honesty. But we think him and Everton could push through.</p>
<p><strong>Value</strong> – Coming in at 7.6 and only a handful of points behind Kane and Lukaku&#8217;s season tally&#8217;s, its safe to say that Wayne offers outstaunding value.</p>
<p><strong>Underlying stats</strong> – Four big chances over the last four gameweeks suggests that he may be slightly overperforming compared to his underlying stats. That said he does have penaties in his locker, so chances are generally good (if he can put them away ofcourse)</p>[/et_pb_text][et_pb_counters _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243;][et_pb_counter percent=&#8221;95&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; percent_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; background_color_default=&#8221;#dddddd&#8221; bar_background_color_default=&#8221;#0084b4&#8243; use_percentages=&#8221;on&#8221;] Form [/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=&#8221;35&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; percent_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; background_color_default=&#8221;#dddddd&#8221; bar_background_color_default=&#8221;#0084b4&#8243; use_percentages=&#8221;on&#8221;] Fixtures [/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=&#8221;80&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; percent_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; background_color_default=&#8221;#dddddd&#8221; bar_background_color_default=&#8221;#0084b4&#8243; use_percentages=&#8221;on&#8221;] Value [/et_pb_counter][et_pb_counter percent=&#8221;70&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243; title_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; percent_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; background_color_default=&#8221;#dddddd&#8221; bar_background_color_default=&#8221;#0084b4&#8243; use_percentages=&#8221;on&#8221;] Underlying stats [/et_pb_counter][/et_pb_counters][et_pb_divider color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0.56)&#8221; show_divider=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Divider1&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.89&#8243;][/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;3.0.83&#8243;]<h2><span id="Like-the-new-series" class="ez-toc-section">Leave a comment</span></h2>
