It was a very exciting week for all EPL fans. Manchester United continue to blaze ahead with their second consecutive 4-0 win. Lukaku, Pogba, Bailey and Mkhitaryan picked up good points, but it was Alonso who registered the most points(16) after this round of fixtures with his match winning double against Tottenham.



Dream Team Week 2


Find the dream team based on the weekends EPL action. I have opted for a 5-3-2 formation since at least 8 teams played with a 5 man defense this last round.

Top Picks Week 3


There are some interesting fixtures this week; I would be picking a team based on current form, difficulty of fixture and price of the player. Any player I pick would be priced below £8 so it would be realistic for you to get them into your team if you feel they are worth it.



Based on the fixture set, Liverpool vs Arsenal is probably the most difficult and therefore unpredictable game while Spurs are heavy favorites vs Burnley. For those who have Harry Kane in their team, it would be the perfect game to make him your captain. He doesn't make it to my team though as he is priced above £8 and his current form is not good.

So here are the top picks for this weekends action, I would probably make Chicharito a captain:

Here is how they line up, I have gone for a 5-3-2 formation:

Once again, I had no players that ended up in the Dream Team. But good to see that Schindler made the list ;)

I'll be making Kane my captain this week. A good reason for everyone else to drop him if ever there was one!
