Midfielders
8. Henrikh Mkhitaryan - Long Term
The enigmatic Armenian is coming on the back of a solid pre season and a superb performance in the first gameweek. The lack of coverage from United in our forward line has compelled us to go for Mkhitaryan who has been showing us his quality. It seems that the player also has the full confidence of manager Jose Mourinho, who had initially benched him last year.
The choice is ultimately between Mkhitaryan and Paul Pogba, who is now in a more attacking role. However, with 2 assists in his last game and a more advanced role, the former Dortmund man does seem the better pick especially considering the kind of fixtures United have on their way.
7. Riyad Mahrez - Short Term
The player had been linked with a move to Serie A club Roma but multiple sources report that the move has fallen through. This means that there is a strong chance that the Algerian will end up staying at the club. The winger had a decent outing against Arsenal and ended with an assist, despite losing the game eventually. Priced at a moderate £8.5, Mahrez could be a pick for the short-term mainly because his form at the moment is a tad bit uncertain.
Regardless of that Leicester's next fixture against newly-promoted Brighton seems like a promising outing and the player may end up getting a decent return.
6. Mohamed Salah - Long Term
Our decision to double up on Liverpool attackers is a risky one but could pay great dividends considering the kind of form they've shown in the pre-season and their first match. Liverpool new signing Salah has been doing exceptionally well for the Reds and has tormented opponents with his blistering pace.
With 4 goals in the pre season and a goal in his first match as well, Salah is a great option to have in your midfield.
5. Roberto Pereyra - Differential
Our gamble of the week is Watford attacking midfielder Roberto Pereyra who showed glimpses of his quality against Liverpool with some great dribbling but unfortunately failed to score. The former Juventus player could see his true potential unleashed under new Watford manager Marcos Silva who was impressive with Hull City last season.
Let's also not forget that Watford have splashed the cash to sign Andre Gray from Burnley who might be leading the line in their next gameweek and Pereyra will surely hope to combine well with the Englishman.
The Hornets play Bournemouth away from home and both the teams will be looking to get their first win.
