Occasional Digest - a story for you

No premium players here. The likes of Saka, Palmer, Watkins and Isak are all great picks for your team, but you need some affordable differentials too.

Here are seven players to choose from:

Marcus Rashford (Man Utd, £7m, midfielder) Despite a terrible 2023-24, he is only one season removed from a 17-goal, 205-point FPL campaign. Erik ten Hag has spoken about trying to restore his confidence and there is a chance he could play down the middle at times, with Rasmus Hojlund injured.

Fulham, Brighton and Southampton are in the first four games and if Rashford does not impress, £7m is an easy price to jump onto another midfielder in this range.

Niclas Fullkrug (West Ham, £7m, forward) It can be a risk picking players who are new to the Premier League from the start of the season, but Fullkrug could hit the ground running. We have seen what he can do for Germany and Borussia Dortmund – he is superb in the air and also does not waste any time getting a shot away in the box. In short, he is a handful.

At West Ham he will have the likes of Jarrod Bowen, Mohammed Kudus, Lucas Paqueta (for now) and Crysencio Summerville creating chances for him. Prediction – 20 goals.

Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford, £7m, midfielder) – There is every chance the Cameroon forward would have scored 15 goals last season had he not got injured. Mbuemo only started 22 games but still returned nine goals and seven assists.

He may take on penalties if Ivan Toney leaves and has home games against Crystal Palace, Southampton, West Ham and Wolves in the first seven.

Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace, £5m, defender) – The Colombia full-back had a superb end to last season as Palace became a much more attacking side under manager Oliver Glasner. In his final 11 games, Munoz scored 47 FPL points, with four assists, 34 touches in the box and 1xG.

Those are sensational numbers for a defender, eclipsing Trent Alexander-Arnold for example. Palace have a decent run to start the season, but clean sheets are not the only way Munoz will be scoring points this season.
