It’s always exciting in the Premier League, but you know a lot of things went down when there were no less than five red cards and 27 goals in the 10 fixtures.

The biggest match of the round was undoubtedly the North London Derby between Tottenham Hotspur and Arsenal, with both clubs vying for the title as they attempt to chase Leicester City. It ended in a draw, meaning the Foxes being unlikely champions is closer to becoming a reality every single week.

At the bottom, Newcastle United, despite spending £80million in transfers, are becoming likely relegation candidates after another loss, this time to Bournemouth at home.

So that’s in terms of the Premier League itself, but what about Fantasy Football? In which the results don’t matter as much as the performance of specific players?

Well we shall summarize the FIVE FANTASY PREMIER LEAGUE Talking Points from the Weekend right here!

Alexis Sanchez finally scores

Arsenal star Alexis Sanchez was undoubtedly their star man last season, but after struggling with injuries the Chile international has taken some time to get back in the groove.

However, Sanchez ended his goalscoring drought against Tottenham Hotspur this past weekend, and could find the form that made him almost a requirement for teams last season.

The Gunners do however have a risk of not playing against West Bromwich this coming weekend, with the clash dependant on whether they can beat Hull City in an FA Cup replay on Wednesday. This means investment in Sanchez should wait, but he should be definitely in contention if the Tigers knock Arsenal out this week.

Aguero in good knick despite penalty miss

It’s not often that you have a good day when you miss a penalty, but thankfully Aguero’s missed spot kick did not affect the outcome of the game with Aston Villa which finished 4-0.

The Argentine scored two goals earlier and was hoping to complete a hattrick, but his shot was off target to disappoint many that captained him.

Despite this, it seems almost essential to draft Aguero in if you don’t own him, with games against Norwich (Away), Man United (Home), Bournemouth (Away), and West Brom (Home) on the horizon.

Leicester are strong all over the pitch

In the Fantasy Premier League you are only allowed a maximum of three players from the same team, and at the start of the season you wouldn’t think you would want more than three Leicester City stars.

But it’s almost essential to have the maximum, with the Foxes scoring the joint-top most goals and an improving defence that has now racked up seven clean sheets in their last 11 games, with the latest from their 1-0 away win against Watford.

It’s more than likely that Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy are already in many squads, but any of their defenders or goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel should be taken into consideration.

Payet will rival Mahrez for Player of the Year

Dimitri Payet will undoubtedly be a contender for Player of the Year after another scintillating display, with the Frenchman supplying an assist to level their game against Everton 2-2 before then grabbing the winner during injury time himself.

The former Marseille man has now scored two goals and supplied three assists in his last four matches, but his blank next weekend and tough games against Chelsea, Arsenal, and Leicester coming means investment will be rather low.

However, the Hammers main man has struck against the big boys earlier this term and is pretty much fixture-proof like Mahrez, so avoid him at your peril.

Firmino the new Suarez?

That’s pushing it a bit, but Liverpool star Roberto Firmino is fast becoming their best player and a consistent source of Fantasy Premier League points, with another (albeit lucky) goal in their 2-1 victory over Crystal Palace.

The Brazil international has scored seven goals in their last eight games, while supplying four assists in the process. This has seen him hit double figures four times and garner a total of total 75 points during that period.

Again, this is another player with a blank this weekend. But with double gameweeks coming up, Firmino may be another must-have in the near future.
