(Something else to discuss in the pre-deadline chat)<h2>Goalkeepers</h2>Robert Sanchez ($7.51, Chelsea vs Nott’m Forest)Robert Sanchez earned just four points, but had a save rate of 66.7%. Chelsea, on the other hand, has been in strong form, with four wins and a draw in the last five matches. Sanchez is one of the most cost effective choices in the league, but his price is rising.~~Kepa Arrizabalaga ($4.29, Leicester vs Bournemouth)Kepa is a solid low-budget option, averaging 9.75 points over his last three matches. He’s proving to be a reliable starting goalkeeper.<h2>Defenders</h2>Riccardo Calafiori ($4.90, Arsenal vs Southampton)Timber is currently sidelined with a muscle injury, giving Calafiori a chance to continue starting. He has been in excellent form, delivering double-digit points in his last two matches.~~Jarrad Branthwaite ($7.58, Everton vs Newcastle)Branthwaite is back and was immediately included in the starting lineup. Given his track record, he could be a strong long-term investment for your fantasy team.~~Ibrahima Konate ($11.86, Crystal Palace vs Liverpool)What impressive progress by Konate under the new manager! He has been rock-solid in the back line (currently winning the most aerial battles as a defender), and has even contributed offensively with a goal and an assist in the last two game weeks.<h2>Midfielders</h2>Cole Palmer ($21.98, Chelsea vs Nottingham Forest)Though his salary could take more than one-fifth of a Fantrax budget, there’s every reason to include him. His rising form, favorable fixtures, key role as the primary penalty taker, and ability to assist when not scoring make him a valuable asset.~~Kai Havertz ($15.09, Arsenal vs Southampton)Havertz has changed his role and now enjoys more freedom on the pitch in Odegaard’s absence. He has become an asset in the air and during set pieces, scoring in his last two games. Other Arsenal attackers are also strong options, given their current form and favorable fixtures.~~Bryan Mbeumo ($16.51, Brentford vs Wolves)After their 1-2 loss to Liverpool last game week, Wolves now hold the record for the most goals conceded in the league. Waiting to welcome that leaky defense is Mbeumo in the form of his life, having scored five goals in the six league matches so far.<h2>Forwards</h2>Dominic Solanke ($11.28, Brighton vs Tottenham)With Heung Min Son absent, Solanke has found the net in his last two league matches. He will visit Brighton whose defense has conceded two goals in each of the last three matches across all competitions.~~Anthony Gordon ($13.88, Everton vs Newcastle)With Isak absent, Anthony Gordon will be the Magpies’ primary offensive target visiting Everton, one of the teams with the most goals conceded.~~Francisco Evanilson ($8.06, Leicester vs Bournemouth)The new striker stepping in for Solanke finally found the net in the previous match and is set to face a promoted team this week. He’s a viable option if you’re working with a tight budget.Stats and info for this article were sourced from premierleague.com and fantrax.com.~~Who else is on your watch-list?
