Now, here are our three tips ahead of gameweek three in the Premier League.
Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Manchester United) – 5.5M
Aaron Wan-Bissaka has made a thoroughly impressive start to life at Manchester United but Saturday’s showdown with Crystal Palace provides the 21-year-old an early return to face his boyhood club. It will also be his toughest test to date, as he comes face-to-face with former team-mate Wilfried Zaha. Wan-Bissaka has made more tackles than any other player in the Premier League this season (15) and will need to be at his best to keep Zaha quiet. Palace have failed to score in their last six trips to Old Trafford, which boosts the chances of a second United clean sheet in three league games this season.
James Maddison (Leicester) – 7.0M
James Maddison turned in an eye-catching display in the second half of Leicester’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea last weekend and will reportedly be awarded with an England call-up by Gareth Southgate for their first set of international matches this season. Maddison enjoyed a sublime debut campaign for Leicester and is primed to kick on this season, with the likes of Manchester United monitoring his future. Maddison has made more key passes than any other player in the Premier League since the beginning of last season (105).
Raheem Sterling (Manchester City) – 12.1M
Raheem Sterling has made a brilliant start to the season and you really need to question your selection choices if he isn’t already in your Fanteam Fantasy Football team. The Manchester City forward is the joint top scorer in the Premier League with four goals in two matches and on Saturday he comes against his favourite opponents, Bournemouth. The 24-year-old has netted 10 times in eight games against the Cherries, at least two more goals than he has scored against any other opponent in his career.
