Top 5 transfer targets for your fantasy teams in Gameweek 3
Captain: Erling Haaland
The top scorer from last season in the Premier League has started his journey this time with a bang too. The Norwegian striked an impressive hat trick in the last game against Ipswich Town and scored one goal in the campaign opener too.
In just two matches Haaland already hailed 24 points, which is the highest in the competition so far alongside Mohamed Salah. Haaland is showing no signs of slowing down, and a match against West Ham shall guarantee even more points. Choosing Haaland as captain shall be the most profitable call for your FPL team.
Big-budget midfielder: Bukayo Saka
Priced at 10 millions, Bukayo Saka is proving his value. He had a goal and an assist in the first game against Wolves and also maintained his consistency in the next tie, where his side defeated Aston Villa in a game away from home. He provided an assist there too. He has 18 points in total already.
From scoring goals to providing assists, Saka will provide an FPL team with every opportunity to gain points. His next challenge is against Brighton, which is believed to be easier than the previous two. So, choosing him as the costly option shall not be disappointing.
Budget midfielder: Antonie Semenyo
Priced at only 5.5, Semenyo can prove to be a smart pick for you. He has fared well in the first two games, providing a goal and an assist together. He has played full minutes in both, garnering 13 points. Next, his side AFC Bournemouth will face a struggling Everton FC. So, picking Antonie Semenyo should be an economical, smart, and profitable move.
Budget-forward: Danny Welbeck
Currently available at 5.6, Danny Welbeck proved to be a giant killer in the first two games. First, he scored a goal and provided an assist against Everton to seal full points. Next, he scored a goal against the mighty Red Devils to shock them and once again clinch victory.
Now, he will be up against another top-side Arsenal. After having three goal contributions in the last two games against big teams, the Brighton striker is expected to possess huge confidence. So, even if Brighton are unable to shock Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal, Welbeck might find a way to disturb their defense. Picking him would prove to be a game-changer.
Keeping future gameweeks in mind: Cristian Romero
The Argentine defender has been very consistent since last season. This time too, the centre-back is proving to be very effective. He already has 16 points in two games and has also scored a goal. His next challenge will be New Castle United, followed by Arsenal and Brentford.
Signing him can be beneficial from a long-term perspective. As, at a price of only 5 million, he is one of the top performers so far and will be battling two easier opponents in the next two games, hence giving a better possibility of points from clean sheets.
