My Verdict on Aubameyang...
- Midfielder = Massive benefit
- Excellent asset to own for GW1 and GW2
- £12m is very expensive and I’d have Salah over him but due to no Utd/City in GW1 I’d recommend owning
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (Until GW3 then move to a City/United asset)

My Verdict on Salah...
- £12m almost makes him a no brainer due to his consistency
- Not the best fixtures but I still fancy him to have an explosive start
- Always a safe captaincy choice too!
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (Almost must have)

My Verdict on KDB...
- 11.5m for last seasons top FPL scorer is amazing value
- Misses GW1 but bring him in for either GW2/3
- Very consistent and a great captaincy option
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (From GW2)

My Verdict on Mané...
- Same price as Salah makes him a lot less appealing
- Wouldn’t pick Mané over Salah but a double up could be effective
- Not on pens and relatively tough fixtures to begin with
WOULD I RECOMMEND? No (Unless you have Salah too)

My Verdict on Sterling...
- Very explosive and a bit of a differential this season
- KDB > Sterling
- I wouldn’t prioritise Sterling compared to other premiums but if you have enough funds he could be an excellent asset
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (From GW2 if you can)

My Verdict on Werner...
- £9.5m is an absolute steal despite being new to the PL

- Could be an amazing asset to own if he hits the ground running
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (Wait and see if you’re risk averse)

My Verdict on Vardy...
- £10m is a little steep but has good fixtures
- I think there are better premiums to target but if you can fit him in he could be a good asset
- He’s always great to own when he finds a bit of form
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (Not a priority though)

My Verdict on Martial...
- MID
FWD could mean less FPL points
- Good alternative to Bruno if you can’t afford him
- Had a great end to 19/20 and I reckon he’ll continue to do well this season
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Yes (From GW2)

My Verdict on Agüero...
- Still recovering from an injury and may not be a good asset to own for the first few GW’s
- Definitely an asset that could be explosive at some point though
- £10.5m = potentially incredible value
WOULD I RECOMMEND? Not yet
