Sunday’s events get off to a rather inauspicious start, with a Riverside Stadium encounter somewhat bereft of Fantasy interest.
Middlesbrough take on Watford in the lunchtime clash and, despite Alvaro Negredo heading into the match with more than 17% ownership; it’s a good bet that many of those FPL managers have long since taken their hands off their teams.
Negredo is recalled to the ‘Boro starting line-up as he looks to break a run of five Premier League appearances without a goal or an assist.
There is certainly more interest in the Hornets’ assets, with Troy Deeney presenting arguably the most likely source of points in today’s encounter.
The Watford skipper has notched three goals in his last four and leads the line backed by 8.2% ownership.
We’ll also be monitoring the progress of Jose Holebas at left wing-back, with the Greek still just a single yellow card away from a one-match ban.
Equally, Issac Success’ performance will be of interest – the Nigerian ousts his compatriot Odion Ighalo to the bench today to take his place in what looks to be a 3-5-2 setup from Walter Mazzarri.
