LONG-TERM PICKS
Callum Elder (Hull, DEF 5.0) — there are a lot of good options among defenders who can contribute a goal but I bet no one considered this Australian international. Hull City played their last 3 games in 3–5–2 formation, having won all of them conceding only one goal. Callum Elder haven’t played left wingback yet because injuries of his teammates forced him to be utilized at the back three. Ryan Longman (FW, 5.5) who played LWB had a goal involvement in all three games (1 goal and 2 assists), so we can expect Elder having chances in almost every match.
SHORT-TERM PICKS
Semi Ajayi (West Brom, DEF 6.0) vs Coventry (A) — Baggies’ central midfield is in a big trouble. Jake Livermore is suspended. Jayson Molumby too. Robert Snodgrass got a back injury. I was wondering who will partner Alex Mowatt. Maybe some youngster? But then I remembered about Semi Ajayi. Centre-back, who at the start of season was unexpectedly benched, has an expirience at CDM position. In 2018/19 season he played for Rotherham and was deployed there in 22 of 46 games in which he scored 7 goals and made 1 assist. Semi is given a big chance to prove himself valuable.
