FPL experts: Best club to invest in for next four Gameweeks

13 Sep 2023

Top Fantasy managers pick out the ONE team they are backing, and the players they are eyeing

On Tuesday, The Scout highlighted a range of clubs who have an enticing run of fixtures.

Now the panel of Fantasy Premier League experts have each picked out the No 1 team that they are looking to invest in for the next four Gameweeks, until the October international break.

What the experts say

Lee Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

Newcastle look primed for investment over the next few Gameweeks, although their Champions League campaign kicks off shortly and they have a very tough group, which might steer Eddie Howe towards rotation in the Premier League.

If I invest, Alexander Isak (£7.7m) looks to be first-choice up front and, assuming he's fit, Sven Botman (£4.5m) provides great value.

Liverpool are starting to click and have plenty of players with the potential to produce explosive returns. Sure, we know what Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7.9m) and Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) can do, but Darwin Nunez (£7.4m) is also on my Watchlist.

Sam Bonfield (@FPLFamily)

I am looking carefully at Aston Villa. The fixtures are brilliant through to Gameweek 14, so there is plenty of scope for investment. Fantasy managers do have to be a little careful of potential rotation around the Europa Conference League, but I am looking to double my investment in Villa by adding Matty Cash (£4.7m) alongside Moussa Diaby (£6.6m).

Although they've not started the season particularly well, Manchester United can get back on track over the next few weeks. I fancy Marcus Rashford (£8.9m) to do well, but also Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) to return multiple times.

I like Newcastle's fixtures in the medium term. I don't feel so confident about their attacking prospects, as I expect rotation, but I am interested in either Kieran Trippier (£6.5m) or Botman in defence.

Tottenham Hotspur are the team to target for me. A good long-term run of fixtures starts with Sheffield United at home in Gameweek 5. They look strong going forward, with Son Heung-min (£9.1m) and James Maddison (£7.8m), and their defenders are chipping in with attacking returns as well.

Newcastle have had a tough start to the season, but the run gets much better now, although unfortunately with European commitments, it's difficult to identify a nailed-on attacker. I think Trippier is a great pick.

Mark McGettigan (@FPLGeneral)

Spurs players are high on my wanted list. They face two of the promoted teams in the next four Gameweeks, and I fancy the likes of Maddison and Son to perform well against Arsenal and Liverpool too.
