Waiver Wire Gameweek 11
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL GW11 Waiver Wire targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Sepp van den Berg (Ros 25%)
Prospects: Since coming back from the groin injury that kept him out until mid-October, Sepp van den Berg has started all four of Brentford’s league games, and he’s done it with Nathan Collins, who had previously been wearing the captain's armband, mostly watching from the bench. The ghost points have settled into a nice rhythm as well, 9.0, 6.5 and 8.25 across his last three after a quiet 2.25 on his return against Liverpool. So we're seeing a combination of opportunity and underlying floor consistency as well as an ownership rate of just 25%. Upcoming fixtures aren't a golden runway, but there's more than enough here to warrant a look; they'll see Everton (concedes 5th most FPts to opposing centrebacks) at the Gtech first, on the Monday night, then United (concedes 2nd most FPts to CB's) away are as easy as they come and Arsenal (14th most FPts to opposing CB's) at home after that which will obviously be rather tough.
Verdict: Mid priority, $3-5 FAB.
Victor Torp (Ros 5%)
Prospects: Victor Torp has started Coventry’s last two games in the holding role and made both of them count, an assist in the 3-1 win over Sunderland and then 12.75 ghost points against Everton, the sort of number that tells you he was doing the dirty work all evening even as the Sky Blues went down 3-1. Palace at home is next, Leeds away, then Ipswich back at home, which is a run I’m happy with for a midfielder who lives on ghost points. You need to know the catch before putting a claim in. Both of Torp’s starts came while Frank Onyeka was out, and Frank Lampard has confirmed Onyeka is available after the break. If Torp keeps the shirt, he’s a steal at 5% rostered. If he doesn’t, you’ve lost a dollar at most.
Verdict: Low priority, $0-1 FAB.
Eddie Nketiah (Ros 12%)
Prospects: Palace are a mess. Bottom of the table, two league wins from ten, and Pierre Sage widely reported to be on his way out over the break, with Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche among the names in the frame. In the middle of that chaos sits a window at centre-forward, because Jean-Philippe Mateta’s red card at Tottenham earned him a three-game ban, Liverpool was the first of those, and he now misses Coventry away and Hull at home too. Nketiah isn’t guaranteed to inherit the role. Jørgen Strand Larsen led the line against Liverpool while still building back to full fitness, and Nketiah came off the bench to bury a stoppage-time penalty. A new manager means a fresh look at everyone, though, and Nketiah has produced before when handed starts, 7.78 points per start across nine of them in 24/25. Cheap punt on a messy situation.
Verdict: Low priority, $0-1 FAB.
