WEEKLY REFLECTIONS OF Premier League Teams: WEEK 6

KEY TO SUCCESS: PLAY THE FORM NOT PREMIUMS, PRICE OR FIXTURES EXCEPT HAALAND.

MANCHESTER CITY [WWWWWW]: As per week 1-5, Contrary to Pundits expectations that Arsenal will retain title by 8 -10pts and assuming City avoid points deductions or relegation this season, Enzo Maresca’s team will likely win the title if Erling Haaland stays fit. He joins a small group of managers who have started their season with 6 wins. The players are understanding and buying into his required style of play. Another striker is still needed in January to ease Haaland’s workload. As for week 6, the referee influenced the game with a very soft Ryan Gravenbech red card but Rayan Cherki’s goal deserves a paragraph of its own. CHERKI scored a goal that took the PROVERBIAL..HOOOLIE. He dummied receiving a ball rounding one defender then collected a back heel from Josko Gvardiol, sat down and sent Frimpong sliding to the shops before slotting past Alisson. IMPUDENT. TOP BALLER. With Ipswich up next in week 7, expect another win and some managers to drop their triple card chip on Haaland. Rayan Cherki, a true baller, remains the best midfield option over Antoine Semenyo with Jeremy Doku now a legit option on his return from injury. Josko Gvardiol [1G, 4A] is still the standout defender with another assist for Cherki’s amazing goal after coming on as sub for Nico O’Reilly who failed to impress at left back on being given a rare start.
BUY: HAALAND, CHERKI, GVARDIOL, DOKU HOLD: SEMENYO SELL/AVOID: FODEN, NICO O’REILLY

ARSENAL [WWWWLW]: Let continue to be honest with you about Arsenal, they were lucky to win at Leeds who let them off after going 1-0 up by sitting back unlike Brighton last week who continued to pressure them. Arsenal has no attackers that any manager should fear. Go at Arsenal and they will fold. As I told people in week 3 -5, avoid double or triple arsenal defence as they will start conceding more with clean sheets being sporadic. Furthermore, I said to avoid Odegard and Saka include after he rose to 9.6 mil in week 5 as both are inconsistent with odd GA every 3-4 games if that. As I also stated, Kai Havertz was preferred to Victim Jokeres aka Viktor Gyokeres despite being injured over the international week. Saka and Odegard blanked, Ricardo Calafiori, the only defender I recommended, got the equalizer with Bruno G, my hold recommendation, getting the winner and Ezri Konsa getting def cons. Noni Madueke coming in for the injured Tzolis on the left did impress and will keep his place for a few week, but Arteta still needs to buy Nico Paz in January. A very poor Nottingham Forest team is up next in week 7 but even they might find a way to score at Arsenal.
BUY: CALAFIORI HOLD: RAYA, HAVERTZ, RICE/BRUNO G, KONSA SELL/AVOID: SAKA, ODEGARD, GABRIEL, GYOKERES, EZE, WHITE.

LIVERPOOL [DDWDWL]: Pre-season I warned people to avoid Florian Wirtz and many ignored me. Hey the world would be a dull place without people to laugh at. Like week 1-5, in week 6, WIRTZ remains an epic flop, not a PL player and persisting with trying to play him into form is like polishing an old watery turd. He is still destabilizing the whole team with limited impact during the Man City game. Liverpool played well for the first 65 minutes before the referee ruined the game with a soft red card. What we learned is that without injured Dominik Szoboslai, Cody Gakpo and Alexander Isak, Liverpool is a mid-table team at best. As per week 3-5, Konate who?? With defensive contributions in week 6 to add to his previous 3 Clean Sheets in a row, Jeremy Jacquet is still the truth. Isak is expected to return on Saturday and Iraolo will be hoping Szoboslai returns too.
BUY: JACQUET/ARAUJO HOLD: ISAK, GAKPO, VVD, SZOBOSLAI SELL/AVOID: WIRTZ

BRIGHTON & HOVE ALBION [WLDWWW]: Good fixtures WK 7 – 18 [except LIV wk 8, MCI wk 9] Sold their best players in Jan Paul Van Hecke, Danny Welbeck and still performing with another win and clean sheet against Sunderland in week 6 despite Pascal Strujk’s Red card. Must haves: OOP Maxim De Cuyper with another goal and Pascal Gross with another assist in week 6 and another clean sheet for Bart Verbruggen. Consider Luka Vuskovic for defensive contributions. Charalampos Kostoulas as a cheap striker if playing 3-5-2 could work also. SEAGULLS TO KEEP FLYING HIGH. Given how bad other keepers are, Verb, De Cuyper and Grob are the best assets for a triple up.
BUY: GROß, DE CUYPER HOLD: VERBRUGGEN, VUSKOVIC SELL: GOMEZ

CHELSEA [WWLDLW]: In week 3-5, I was not convinced with Xavi Alonso due to his inability to get a regular tune out of good players like Levi Colwill, Maxence LaCroix, Reece James, Morgan Rogers, Cole Palmer and Joao Pedro. Week 6, Jordan Henderson and Pep Chavarria starts and Chelsea spanked Brentford 5-1 with Palmer getting 2 assist, Morgan Rogers scoring and Joao Pedro scoring twice. Key to this performance was the return of Moises Caicedo who has the odd goal in him. If palmer perform well in week 7 and 8 making 3 consecutive good games, then he becomes a legit buy over Bukayo Saka and Bruno Fernandes. Fixtures are easy until week 13 but the defence remains suspect so only keep Rogers and Joao Pedro for now.
BUY: PALMER HOLD: ROGERS, J.PEDRO, LACROIX SELL: REECE JAMES, ESTEVAO

ASTON VILLA [LLDLWW]: In week 5, I said that Unai Emery is an elite manager and Villa were always bound to return to form once all their key injured players returned. Week 6, Unai Emery’s team are starting to cook and looking good. Once again, both Johan Manzambi and Nicolas Jackson scored with John McGinn getting an assist and Buendia playing well too. Their fixtures improve week 9 or 11 but Jackson as 3rd Striker and Manzambi to replace the injured Schade will work well. Their defence is still woeful outside Suzuki so avoid the backline.
BUY: MANZAMBI, JACKSON. HOLD: McGINN, BUENDIA, SELL: CASH,

MANCHESTER UNITED [LWDLDD]: As per week 5, the Man U legacy, Dynasty, Greatness is well and truly cooked, over and likely never to reach anywhere close to the heights of yester years. Following the collapse at Brighton from 2-0 up to losing 3-2 to add to the hull loss and a lucky draw followed at Fulham thanks to Cunha’s deflected 89th min strike. Now add a draw to 10 men Spurs in week 6 and they were lucky to get a draw due to Spur's woeful finishing. Talks of Michael Carrick being sacked and end the season continue to gather pace. Horrendous looking fixtures to come week 7 to week 14. All their players are poor and understandable sell or avoid until further notice. Bruno Fernandez (11.9 mil) is barely a hold and moves to replace him with Palmer will gather support.
BUY: NONE HOLD: BRUNO FERNANDES SELL: SHAW, MAGUIRE, LAMMENS

BRENTFORD [WDDDWD]: As per week 5, put some respect on Keith Andrew’s name as Brentford are still performing with a 2-2 draw at Aston Villa. Mikkel Damsgard's injury allowed Keane Lewis-Potter to play in midfield with El Hadji Malick Diouf starting in his place in defence. With Sepp Van der Berg due back, Kristoffer Ajer feeling the pressure scored to add to his clean sheet in week 5 from an Igor Thiago assist. Kevin Schade was playing well until his shoulder injury and Mamadou Sangare was only used as a sub once again. For now, only hold Thiago and Schade unless out long term until their fixtures turns in Week 15. The injured Mikkel Damsgard could also be an option once fit.
BUY: NONE HOLD: SCHADE, DAMSGARD, I.THIAGO SELL: M.SANGARE, AJER

LEEDS UNITED [WDDWDL]: A first loss of the season to the Champions would normally not be anything to scuff at except for leading and letting Arsenal off the hook. My week 5 buy, James Justin scored. Leeds have terrible fixtures until week 13 so would sell or bench any of their assets. If you must play an asset, Jayden Bogle [4.6mil] or Tarik Muharemovic [5 mil] for defensive contributions over Dominic Calvert-Lewin [DCL] are the only asset worth considering.
BUY: NONE HOLD: MUHAREMOVIC, BOGLE, JUSTIN SELL: HARRY WILSON, DCL

EVERTON [WDDDWD]: Still unbeaten after 6 games following a 2-2 draw at Hull represents a good start for David Moyes who was fuming after they could not hold to their 2-1. Solid defending [James Tarkowski and Jarrod Branthwaite] for much of the games and promising attack [Thierno Barry, Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall] remain their style of play with both Barry and KDH scoring and both Tarkowski and Branthwaite collecting defensive contributions. Outside of Coventry in week 10, they have tough fixtures until week 14 so don’t rush to pick their assets. Tarkowski (6.1mil) is immune due to likely def cons and GA potential and Barry as the main striker will get chances every game. Jarrod Branthwaite (5.5 mil) is a cheaper option that matches Tarkowski for Defcon but lacks GA potential.
BUY: Branthwaite HOLD: TARKOWSKI, BARRY, KDH SELL: GREALISH, PICKFORD

AFC BOURNEMOUTH [LDDDLL]: Marco Rose experimented with Rayan as an OOP Striker with Evanilson in the 10 with Ryan Christie replacing the talismanic Alex Scott in the midfield. Justin Kluivert and Junior Kroupi Jr are due back soon so that experiment will not last for much longer. They are still in the relegation zone after the 5-1 loss at Chelsea in week 6. However, they have good fixtures coming up WK 7 - 14 so they will start climbing the table soon enough. Last season’s solid defence without Senesi is gone under Marco Rose despite the addition of Adrien Truffert and Antonio Silva. Hill has 4 Defensive contributions and no clean sheet and is overpriced at 5.5mil. Despite blanking in the last 2 games at Liverpool and Chelsea, Marcus Tavernier remains a hold with 3 goals so far though Evanilson added a goal to his prior 3 assists.
BUY: EVANILSON HOLD: TAVERNIER,SCOTT, PETROVICH SELL: KLUIVERT

NEWCASTLE UNITED [DWDLWL]: Newcastle got battered 4-1 by Frank Lampard’s Coventry disappointing all the 500K new Hall owners who were consoling themselves mid game that they didn’t buy him for clean sheet and by the end of the game with 0 point and no GA were transferring him out. In week 5 I said leave Newcastle’s assets alone and will triple-down after this abysmal performance. Tough fixtures ensue until the Tyne-wear Derby in week 14. Sell all especially Wissa, Hall and Thiaw.
BUY: NONE HOLD/AVOID: BARNES, DEDIC SELL: WISSA, HALL.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST [LDDWLL]: As per week 5, it is still a myth why Glasner left Crystal Palace to sign for Nottingham Forest especially after losing 3-1 in the Glasner derby. My suggestion to avoid Morgan Gibbs-White (MGW), Rory Delap and Daniel Munoz proved right again after they blanked again. Woods has returned and their defence should be playing better than this yet this is definitely relegation form which feels very much like deja vu. Horrid fixtures follow until Hull in Week 13. AVOID, AVOID, AVOID, Claro? Capish? Capiche? ;-P
BUY: NONE BENCH: MUNOZ, IGOR JESUS SELL: MGW, N.WILLIAMS, DELAP

TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR [LLDDLD]: In week 3-5, I raised the possibility that the Mateus Fernandez relegation curse could strike again for the 3rd straight year and team with Spurs fighting relegation as you cannot win games without scoring goals. Having spent the last 3 weeks in the relegation zone, Spur returned with a good performance against Man U and a draw due to missing so many good chances to score. Dominic Solanke and Mohammed Kudus were the main culprits whilst Savio played very well, signs of things to come perhap? Until you see 3 consistent performances, avoid buying any of Spurs assets. Antonin Kinsky can stay on the bench.
BUY: NONE BENCH: KINSKY, Solanke SELL: VAN HECKE, PORRO

HULL CITY (PROMOTED) [WWDDLD]: Excellent start to the season with some unexpected wins and showing unexpected resilience continued in week 6. Despite being 2-1 down, Mohamed Belloumi came off the bench to earn a 2-2 draw. That the earlier games solidity at the back won’t last forever is being proved right but expects enough wins to just avoid relegation. Rising to 5.2 million, Mohamed Belloumi [3G 2A] is the standout player to have with the goalkeeper Konstantinos Tzolakis as a good bench option.
BUY: BELLOUMI HOLD: EGAN/MENDY, SLATER, TZOLAKIS SELL: McBURNIE

SUNDERLAND [LWDLLL]: 3 losses in a row is worrying and relegation form. However they have enough good players like Xhaka, Ballard, Brobbery and Enzo Le Fee to win enough games to avoid relegation. If you must, hold their players for the next three fixtures at Bournemouth, Leeds and Coventry before jettisoning them as their fixture turn horrid in week 10 to 21.
HOLD: BROBBEY, LE FEE, DANSO, BALLARD SELL: HUME

CRYSTAL PALACE [LLWLDW]: Following a draw at Leeds in Week 5, Crystal Palace returned with an emphatic 3-1 win in the Glasner derby. Yeremy Pino and Daichi Kamada [1G 1A] starred with Quinton Timber, Jaydee Canvot and Tyrick Mitchell all collecting defensive contributions. The Squad on paper should avoid relegation but inconsistent league form and Europa League commitments raises concerns. Outside of Coventry and Hull in week 11 and 12, their fixtures are horrible until week 22 so AVOID ALL including Canvot, Richards, Mitchell and Strand Larsen.
BUY: NONE HOLD: KAMADA, STRAND LARSEN SELL: CANVOT, RICHARDS

IPSWICH TOWN (PROMOTED) [WLLWLW]: Despite the rush to buy Fulham players for their week 6 fixtures at Ipswich which I warned against, Ipswich won 2-1 with Dara O’shea and Abdoul Ouattara scoring and collecting bonus points. Only Leif Davis is still worth holding as the 3rd or 4th Defender rotating for their easier fixtures. Good fixtures to come week 8 to 17 so could also consider Emerson at Hull or Coventry as a 1-week punt.
BUY OR HOLD: LEIF DAVIS SELL: DIOP

FULHAM [LLLDDL]: In week 3-5, I stated that to avoid relegation, you need to score and Fulham will get goals, but they concede far more. Despite the rush to buy Fulham player [Josh King with 380k new owners, Gonzalo Garcia and various defenders], I said to avoid Fulham defence as they will concede and their players except Alex Iwobi or Oscar Bobb. Cue week 6, Ryan Segnsnon scored a good goal with Iwobi collecting a bonus point and Bobb nearly scoring but Fulham conceded 2 goals to lose the game. Hull and Coventry up next will see some interest again in their assets particularly King, Gonzalo and Affengruber given his 100% record of Defcon. However, avoid their defence with a clean sheet only likely at Coventry in week 8 if at all. If desperate, consider Iwobi or Bobb as a 2-week punt for the 4th or 5th midfielder.
BUY OR HOLD: BOBB, IWOBI, KING, GONZAO SELL: LENO, CASTAGNE

COVENTRY CITY (PROMOTED) [LLLLWW]: Annoyed by my Nepotism comment, Frank Lampard has responded with back-to-back wins against teams they were supposed to lose at with an emphatic 4-1 demolition of Newcastle United. They stormed to the championship title last year with performances like this, but they won’t play Newcastle and Nottingham Forest every week. Roberto DeZerbi’s improving Spurs is up next to provide a test of whether these wins can be trusted with nice fixture until week 14 including Fulham, Sunderland, Crystal and Ipswich giving them a real chance to climb the table. Sooner or later they will return to “conceding goals and not scoring goals” which is the perfect recipe to guarantee that they get relegated again. Van Ewijk returned with an assist and defensive contribution. That said, after getting his 4th defcon in 6 games, Bobby Thomas for defensive contributions and odd clean sheet as 5th sub off the bench is still the only asset worth considering.
BUY: NONE HOLD: THOMAS / VAN EWIJK
