There are somethings that science can’t quantify. Whether it is eating a hot chocolate brownie with vanilla ice-cream, cuddling a cute little puppy or scoring that high gameweek score in the Fantasy Premier League, science can’t put a number on it.While I can’t help with the brownie or the puppy, I can certainly endeavour to give you some help on the third front; the Fantasy Premier League.No struggles, no pains. Just sit back and take in the following list which contains name of the players you should keep a keen eye on while making those vital transfers.

#5 Branislav Ivanovic (Chelsea)

Branislav Ivanovic for most is a luxury rather than a necessity. However, with Chelsea moving in a couple of home games, Ivanovic can really be handy in providing some excellent points from the back.

Although one of the games is against Arsenal, Chelsea should start as firm favourites in that one. With Arsenal’s backline under the weather due to a lengthy list of players on the doctor’s table, there is every chance that the Serbian international will find some joy on the right hand side of Chelsea’s defence.

#4 Ryan Bertrand (Southampton)

Southamptons run-in and Ryan Bertrands price tag makes him pop-up in our list for the picks of this game week. Ronald Koemans men have four home games in their next six encounters which doesnt feature any of the big boys.

Ryan Bertrand has had quite a decent season so far and a stretch of those four games against the likes of Stoke, Leicester, Sunderland and QPR makes him a hot commodity. While Nathaniel Clyne pips the probability chart of scoring more points during this stretch, Bertrand provides you with a much better budgetoption as you look to capitalize on Southamptons run-in.

#3 David Silva (Manchester City)

Prices are low and the upcoming fixtures enticing, thats when you know its the perfect time to bring in a player. Thats what works for David Silva as well.

The fixture list finally heads towards the softer side for the defending champions. While Manchester City will be away for the next two games, Hull and Aston Villa shouldnt give fantasy owners much headache. Manchester City in fact ill-afford to come with any thing less than six points from these games if they are serious about defending their Premier League crown.

And if they are to do just that, its their midfield magicians who need to carve their path to glory. David Silva is set to be one of the main man Manuel Pellegrini will be looking towards providing the team with a spark for the next two games.

#2 Graziano Pell (Southampton)

The obvious thing that stands out when you see Graziano Pellè is his size. The Italian certainly has the physicality about to mix with anyone in the league. While possessing this immense power, Pelle also has the deftest of touches and a keen eye for goal.Koeman has placed all of his trust of the ex-Feyenoord man, making Pelle the centre-piece of all Saints’ schemes going forward. Three goals and an assist in the last three gameweeks suggests that the trust was not misplaced.

The Italian stallion had a field day in Southampton’s last home game against Newcastle and going by Southampton’s and Pelle’s recent form, he should have a field day against QPR. With Southampton just too kind to overlook for the upcoming games, Pelle should be one of the names near the top on your list for the forthcoming gameweek.

#1 Angel Di Maria (Manchester United)

Angel Di Maria has taken to the Premier League like duck to water

60 million is a lot of trust. Thats the amount Manchester United paid forprocuring the services of Angel Di Maria from Real Madrid earlier this summer. If first impressions are anything to go by, the investment looks to be well worth it.

While this might not be the best moment to be a Manchester United fan, even their heart skips a beat when Angel Di Maria is on the ball. The team in itself is an unbalanced mess but that shouldnt stop you from selecting the Argentinian stud.

Di Maria is a thoroughbred amongst the other horses in the FPL and is starting to hit his stride in the Premier League. In the last two gameweeks, the South American winger has delivered 25 points. With two home games coming up, there should be no second guessing on you part on whom to pick.
