Huh! Gameweek20 has just concluded and here comes another injury blow for FPL managers.
Evanilson has just crashed out from FPL with a broken foot. To add to the woes, he had to go under the knife and we don’t know how soon he will return to the field in a Bournemouth shirt.
The Brazilian forward was considered a nice differential and used to fit the budget forward segment. With an ownership under 3%, he did the trick for many FPL teams scoring 78pts in the process. I also profited from his on-field exploits once this season.
Evanilson going out for an indefinite period means the search for another budget forward becomes frantic. Here we go! Let’s see who we have as your next potential catch in FPL before GW21.
Any guesses? Joao Pedro, it is!
Joao Pedro(£5.7m)
Pedro has been in scintillating form. And there’s no stopping for the Brazilian forward. With the usual suspect, Danny Welbeck injured, Pedro is now making the most of every opportunity.
For two consecutive gameweeks, he managed to register 9pts. Now, that’s quite a feat for a Brighton asset. Under their new coach, who is only in his early 30s, Brighton has developed a trait to score against any given opponent. They might lose, they might lose heavily. But Brighton will score almost every time they get on the field.
Joao Pedro is on penalties, which makes it even more exciting for his owners. He will gear up against relegation fighters Ipswich Town next. And has Everton on his checklist among the following two.
He has five goals and can be a superb value (for money) addition to your fantasy team ahead of GW21.
