Premier League: 10 things to look out for | Email us
After an appalling tally a fortnight ago, I managed a healthy haul of 80 Premier League Fantasy points last week. That was mainly thanks to the blossoming relationship of Florian Wirtz and Hugo Ekitike. There was an Opta start doing the rounds later that the Liverpool pair have combined for six goals in all competitions this season, more than any other Premier League duo. They’s assisted each other three times. It’s pretty obvious that Wirtz and Ekitike are now the heartbeat of the Liverpool attack, with Mo Salah’s influence receding.
Having said all that, I’ve captained Bruno Fernandes (v Spurs) this weekend. You?
Whoops, I forgot to mention two other Friday matches. Perhaps because neither witnessed a goal.
