A very successful week of Under the Radar picks last week with lots of players bouncing back after the international break with some differential picks. With the likes of David Silva and Hazard returning big and Salah and the big 3 defence left backs all not doing well, the template has hit a bit of a rocky patch � This of course followed by Salah's poor showing in the UCL and injury doubts lingering over Mendy has left some gaps to be filled in managers teams. Meanwhile the likes of Pedro, Walcott and Mkhi, in the ‘mid-price midfield' position have all flopped leaving us with questions.
Raul Jimenez
Wolves
5.5
Ownership � 5%
MNU, SOU, CPL
The Mexican international finally saw his efforts rewarded as he scored against Burnley. With 6 shots in the box last GW (highest in the league) and close misses in previous games, he was waiting to take off. At a good price to rotate with Ings, or come in as a 3rd Striker he has some notable plus points, the best of which being; Wolves do not look like they have many goals in them from all over the pitch, with Jota not living up to the hype and Costa, Cavaliero and Traore rotating and suffering from injury: Jiminez is nailed to convert in the box with the action coming from the width provided by the excellent Doherty (4.4m) and other wing play by Wolves.
Antonio Valencia
Manchester United
6.5m
Ownership � less than 1%
WOL, WHU, NEW
A curious case this, but interesting developments in the UCL could see this become a viable option. Dalot, new recruit from Portugal, looks to have been given the nod in the UCL games while Valencia doesn't travel and stays in Manchester for conditioning and rest. We saw this in bits last season, but if this rotation carries on with Dalot playing in the League cup and Europe, Valencia could become nailed in the prem. This all coming at a time when United have one of their best runs of the season, are hitting form and other than De Gea, rotation is likely in their defence with a myriad of poor assets far beyond their scope of ability. Valencia's numbers haven't been anything of note so far this season, but historically he does provide a lot of crosses and the odd goal, as we saw last season. His crossing was notably poor last season, that mixed with a lack of finishing from United's front line caused a lot of missed points but there were chances and there will be again.
Diego Rico
Bournemouth
4.5m
Ownership � less than 0.1
BUR, CPL, WAT
Bournemouth are not noted for keeping clean sheets, however they were 6 mins away from one at the weekend. Rico who has come in for big money to replace the ageing Daniels could provide good, cheap cover with a good run of fixtures ahead. However the likes of Doherty (4.4m) is a more popular pick.
Matt Doherty
Wolves
4.4m
Ownership � less than 2%
MUN, SOU, CPL
An obvious one here, but he had to be mentioned. His heat map is brilliant, he is bombing up the Wolves wing and provided an assist last week, as well as coming close in previous weeks. Playing a lot like a right sided Championship-esque version of Alonso he is attacking, but part of a notable defence that has one of the best defensive xG in the league in a range between 0.2-0.3 per game.
Aaron Mooy
Huddersfield
5.3m
Ownership � 2%
LEI, SPU, BUR
Hit the post last week, and probably one of the only realistic contributors for the Terriers at the moment. With 4 goals and 3 assists last season the budget midfield, whose price has already dropped significantly, is on penalties and Huddersfield have a run of fixtures where they should have a chance of something in either open games or against tight packed defences.
