Fantasy Premier League Week 3 bargains and busts

Week 3 of Fantasy Premier League is upon us. Here’s a look at some players you should be wary of and some you should add to your team. 

It’s been entertaining first two weeks in the Premier League. Paul Pogba made his debut for Manchester United, Zlatan Ibrahimovic seems to be in fine form early on his Premier League career, and both Manchester City and Chelsea have fared well under new managers.

There have also been a few smaller-name players who are starting to catch the eye of many fantasy owners. Who would have though Watford’s Etine Capoue would have two goals in two games, and be a leading fantasy point getter? Not many.

Middlesbrough’s Alvaro Negredo has also been doing well, and trails only Ibrahimovic and Sergio Aguero in points.

It has been, however, a difficult time for Arsenal fans. Santi Cazorla has been their best fantasy player (10 points) so far, and with a loss to Liverpool in week one and a draw to Leicester last weekend, many of their fans want improvement. Maybe their match with Watford this weekend will help them get out of their funk.

Looking ahead, it is still early on to definitively label anyone a bust, but there are still some big names who struggled to get fantasy points early on. Roberto Firmino, Alexis Sanchez, David Silva, Harry Kane and Jamie Vardy have all had poor starts to the fantasy season.

They haven’t produced at a normal rate just yet, so if you have some strong bench players, now may be the time to give them a chance while those guys get up to speed.

Here is a look at some players you should be wary of, and others you should think about adding to your team ahead of this weekend’s matches.
