Team: Manchester United
Position: Midfielder
Price: 6.3

Marcus Rashford makes his first appearance in our Power Rankings this season courtesy of a stellar display up against Liverpool on Monday night. The Englishman was started as centre-forward by Erik Ten Hag as Cristiano Ronaldo was left on the bench.

Rashford tormented Liverpool’s backline with his pace and dribbling and his confidence visibly grew as the game proceeded.

He had 5 shots, all from inside the box and scored a goal to take home 10 points. Up against a leaky Southampton side who are notoriously poor against pacey frontmen, Rashford has the potential for another double-digit return next week.

Team: Tottenham Hotspur
Position: Defender
Price: 5.5

Starting his first game this season, Perisic struggled in the first half from the left-wing back position. However, he came out looking sharper and positioned further at the start of the second half and looked extremely threatening on the eye test till he came off with a clean sheet secured.

He made 3 key passes including creating a “big chance” and looked to be in great positions inside the Wolves box consistently.

He ended with an assist and a 9-point return. His starts might be slightly uncertain with the start of the Champions League soon but when he does, I’d be very worried going into a Spurs game without him.

Team: Arsenal
Position: Midfielder
Price: 6.4

Martin Odegaard has exploded to life after a slow start to the season for him, in an Arsenal team that are on fire. His footballing instincts were on display on Saturday as he showed great reading of the game on his way to grabbing a brace against Bournemouth.

He had 3 shots in total and amassed a Gameweek-leading 16-point return!

Team: Crystal Palace
Position: Midfielder
Price: 7.1

Yet another midfield pick in our Fantasy Premier League Power Rankings. Wilfried Zaha tormented a struggling Aston Villa defence all game long. Starting from the left wing, Zaha had 3 shots, all on target, including a penalty which was saved before Zaha converted the rebound. He also made 3 key passes.

He grabbed a brace and ended on a strong 12-pointer despite a missed penalty and could easily have returned more on another day.

A quality pick in a well-coached Palace team.

Team: Leeds United
Position: Midfielder
Price: 6.3

Rodrigo has started the season in fine form and he carried that into Leeds‘ shock demolishment of Chelsea on Sunday.

The Spaniard, playing out-of-position as a forward in the absence of Patrick Bamford, notched up 5 shots, including a big chance and created 1 chance on his way to a goal and assist.

He scored a fantastic 13-points against Chelsea and now embarks on a kinder run of fixtures making him a prime candidate for purchase this week!
