WFC's Team-By-Team Preview - Part 1
Huddersfield - 20
Top
target
Tom Ince - £6.0 - TSB 2.2%
14 goals, 6 assists and
a shot frequency of 1 every 27.55 minutes last season in the Championship. With
4 goals already in pre season, Ince is one who could well outperform his price
tag this season.
Differential/Punt pick
Steve Mounie -
Coming off the back of
14 goals and 3 assists with an average of 3 shots per game for Montpellier in
the Ligue 1 last season, Mounie has carried this form over to his new club,
with 3 pre season goals. Dominant in the air and holding the ball up for
teammates, Mounie is one to look out for this season.
Be
wary of…
Tommy Smith -
Huddersfield conceded
58 goals in the Championship last season, only keeping 13 clean sheets. That’s
more goals conceded than relegated Wigan, and 18 more than the other two promoted
clubs. Despite his 4 goals and 10 assists last season, his attacking output
isn’t enough to make him an appealing FPL option at his price of £5.0.
Predicted top scorer

Predicted GW1 line-up
Burnley - 19
Top
target
Robbie Brady -
Averaged 13 attacking
third actions and 7 crosses per game last season. On free kick and corner duty, Brady has
registered 3 goals and 1 assist in pre season.
Differential/Punt pick
Sam Vokes -
Burnley’s top scorer
last season, Vokes was a quiet achiever in terms of FPL. With a shot frequency of
1 every 37.5 minutes, the Welshman netted 10 goals and provided 3 assists,
despite only making 20 starts. With the possibility of penalty duties, expect
Vokes to continue this form into the 2017/18 season.
Be
wary of...
Tom Heaton -
The top goalkeeper in
FPL last season, expect Heaton to continue picking up regular save points.
However, it is unlikely Burnley can maintain such a sturdy home defence this
season, reducing his clean sheet and bonus point capabilities.
Predicted top scorer
Vokes (12)
Predicted top assister
Gudmundsson (9)
Predicted GW1 line-up
Brighton
and Hove Albion - 18
Top
target
Anthony Knockaert -
15 goals and 8 assists
in the Championship last season. On free kick and corner duty, he will be
Brighton’s go to man in attack and need to replicate last season’s form if his
team are going to survive.
Differential/Punt pick
Lewis Dunk -
Helped his side to 20
clean sheets in 43 appearances last season. Scored 2 goals from 26 headed
shots, and also provided 2 assists. His average of 12 clearances per game last
season could also see Dunk become a bonus point magnet when Brighton keep a
clean sheet.
Be
wary of…
Glenn Murray -
Although Murray netted
23 goals and provided 6 assists in the Championship last season, he will be
turning 34 in September. Rotation will come into play and he may struggle to
keep up with the pace of the Premier League.
Predicted top scorer
Knockaert (8)
Predicted top assister
Gross (8)
Predicted GW1 line-up
Swansea - 17
Top
target
Tom Carroll -
At his price, he could
be a steal. A nailed on starter, expected Carroll to have a strong season
creatively, especially is Sigurdsson leaves.
Differential/Punt pick
Jordan Ayew -
Impressive attacking
stats last season, with a shot frequency of 1 every 31 minutes, as well as
picking up 1 goal and 4 assists in 9 starts. Consistent minutes will be key for
Ayew this season, and if he can nail down a regular starting role as expected,
he will likely better his 7 goals for Aston Villa in the 2015/16 season.
Be
wary of…
Alfie Mawson -
Obviously, he is a
great attacking threat. However, FPL managers will need to rely on this for
returns, as clean sheet points will be likely be hard to come by.
Predicted top scorer
Llorente (13)

Carroll (8)
