Jurrien Timber - Arsenal

The Dutchman is poised to secure a run of starts in Arsenal’s back four due to an injury to fellow defender Ben White. 

Timber's potential for assists is underscored by his impressive statistics. Despite starting only eight of the first 11 matches of the season, he has recorded 10 key passes, placing him fourth among Arsenal players. The 23-year-old also took six shots, which is second only to Gabriel among his side's defenders.

After facing a difficult set of opponents, Mikel Arteta's team is now entering a more favorable schedule, making their defenders worth considering for your picks.

Ollie Watkins - Aston Villa

The Aston Villa forward has been struggling with his performance, scoring just one goal in his last five matches. However, with three favourable home games in the next few weeks, Watkins has the opportunity to regain his best form.

Villa will host a Crystal Palace side that has not kept a clean sheet during their away matches this season. Their upcoming opponents, Brentford and Southampton, are among the four teams that have conceded the most goals in the 2024/25 season. 

Those England fans who travelled to Germany know what he can do. Very few people will ever forget that memorable goal in the Euro 2024 semi-final.

Anthony Gordon  - Newcastle United

After a slow start to the season, the Newcastle United winger has stepped up his influence on home matches.

Gordon scored and earned nine points against Manchester City in Gameweek 6 and supplied the assist for Alexander Isak’s winner against Arsenal. 

That hints at a return to the form that made Gordon one of the most reliable performers in home matches last season. He was also superb in the recent England Nations League matches.

Erling Haaland - Manchester City

This would be a big-money signing but could the Norwegian striker be a worthwhile investment? City have been on a poor run of form but now the future of their manager has been sorted, could their start reignite immediately? If it does, Haaland is certain to be at the forefront.

Alejandro Garnacho - Manchester United

How's this for an interesting stat? Alejandro Garnacho has directly contributed to 20 Premier League goals for Manchester United, scoring 13 goals and providing seven assists. The only other non-British player to achieve this milestone for the club before turning 21 is Cristiano Ronaldo, who was involved in 25 goals (14 goals and 11 assists).

This might be a risky move for your fantasy league but the Argentinian is clearly a creative spark for Manchester United and even if he starts on the bench, he always seems to do something. Could be a risky move but it might pay off.
