EXPLAINED: Fantasy premier league tips gameweek 21 martin odegaard alexander isak kaoru mitoma and more - The Real Truth

PA Wire

Kaoru Mitoma

Now is the time to put Brighton players into your team, and while Solly March looks an obvious option, Kaoru Mitoma should get a look-in.

Only 1.7% of managers have put the £5.0m Japanese in their side, but is a cheap and easy swap for a frozen-out Leandro Trossard and faces a weak Leicester City back line next.

Alexander Isak

Fantasy managers will be scrambling to bring the Swede back into their side following another goal in a cameo appearance off the bench against Fulham.

Newcastle and Isak face an average-at-best Palace defence, which could be further weakened by the absence of Joachim Andersen, who came off injured against Chelsea.

Despite a modest 1-0 scoreline against Fulham, the Magpies still created nearly 2 xG in that game, and there should be plenty of chances for Isak to get amongst the FPL points if he starts.

Martin Odegaard

Bringing in Arsenal’s main man is a very good idea for nearly 75% of managers who haven’t already.

He has earned more points than Gabriel Martinelli for the same money and is a huge part of everything that Arsenal do, as shown with his nine-pointer last time out in the north London derby.

Transferring Odegaard to your team makes sense looking forward, too, with a double Arsenal gameweek just two weeks away in GW23.

David Raya

Brentford’s keeper is their second-highest point-scorer this year so far, with 81 points.

Goalkeeper points have proven huge this year, so if you have one that isn’t earning you more than a few points per game, then Raya is a good option.

He faces a Leeds side that has toothless tendencies and has a good defence in front of him - one that allows him to make the saves he needs to earn extra points, but not sacrifice clean sheets.

James Ward-Prowse

Southampton captain Ward-Prowse is a guaranteed start and feels like a new player having been pushed further forward by Nathan Jones.

He will only face one ‘big six’ side in Chelsea in his next six fixtures, and his incredible set-piece record speaks for itself.
