Fantasy Premier League Risers James Maddison Hardly a hot take but James Maddison is good. Really good.Five attacking returns in seven Premier League games make a mockery of his average draft position of 104 in Fantrax FPL draft leagues this summer. Those who snagged him anywhere around this figure will be feeling very smug at this stage.His hot start makes Maddison the ultimate “trade high” asset but if you own him, why would you want to lose him? The Leicester new boy will become a firm favourite of my FPL draft…

Spotting the trends early on is often the key to success in your FPL draft league. Being one step ahead of your rivals, knowing who to pick up and who to trade away can be the difference between champions and mid-table obscurity. Here are this week's FPL draft risers and fallers.Follow @Fantrax_epl to keep up with all of our fantasy soccer content.FPL Draft Risers Xherdan ShaqiriGood things come to those who wait.

With the EPL season back in action, here are my top Fantasy Premier League risers and fallers for Draft Week 6. Premier League RisersFollow @Fantrax_epl to keep up with all of our fantasy soccer content.Ryan Fraser  An obvious one. Asmir Begovic believes that Bournemouth's front three are as good as Liverpool's. Even though the Bosnian is some way off the mark, they have enjoyed an explosive start to the season and Ryan Fraser has been their Mo Salah.In fact, the Scot has outscored the Egyptian so far.…

It's almost as if Jose Mourinho read my article last week (he probably didn't) as Manchester United finally came to life in the premier league in gameweek four. The same can't be said for Christian Benteke who isn't having a lot of luck. As the Premier League takes a break, here's the ones to target and ones to avoid. Fantasy Premier League Risers Eden Hazard He’s back. To those who took a risk and drafted him; well done. Chelsea managed to escape the tight grip of Real Madrid to keep hold of Eden Hazard and during his…

If the goal at home to Fulham last week took the handbrake off, the Old Trafford double ensured that the Lucas Moura bandwagon has rolled into town for draft fantasy soccer managers. The pace and composure shown for his second was particularly impressive.Lucas knew that he’d have a short window to impress his manager at the start of this season. It’s fair to say…

With Manchester City and Liverpool already taking charge at the top of the pile, you get the sense that even after only two weeks of the season the Premier League table is already taking shape. For that reason, players from the early frontrunners and title favourites will rarely figure in these articles due to their almost certain high ownership. Besides, it doesn’t take a Draft Fantasy Football expert to say “pick Benjamin Mendy”.Last week’s article was certainly a mixed bag. From those recommended, Richarlison and Ryan…

You can’t win or lose a league title after ninety minutes of football. You can, however, get yourself all excited about a 30-point haul from the randomer you pulled out in the 16th round of your Fantasy Premier League draft or convince yourself that the “sure thing” that you picked in the 4th looks like he’ll spend the majority of the season banished to the bench by his unhappy manager (Anthony Martial).As fantasy football managers, we’re experts in jumping to conclusions and forming opinions on players after watching…

Premier League Deadline Day has came and went in the Premier League and I will take a look at some of the marquee signings and how they can impact your team. Premier League Deadline Adds and Avoids Mateo Kovacic – Add Mateo Kovacic is the classic case of a highly rated youngster whose career hasn’t quite gone according to plan, despite a series of high profile moves. His displays for Inter Milan won some admirers at Real Madrid and he became a Galactico at the start of the 2015/16 season. Three years and an underwhelming…
