Waiver Wire Gameweek 8
Here we outline our Fantasy EPL GW7 Waiver Wire targets that have 40% rostered or below on Fantrax. These players should perform well over the upcoming period!
Brandon Thomas-Asante (Ros 17%)
Prospects: Brandon Thomas-Asante seems to be prospering under the turnaround of Frank Lampard. Three double digit fantasy scores in his last three games, he seems to now be trusted in that starting left wing role. With the forward pool continuing to be shallow week after week, Thomas-Asante is one to consider and Fulham at home could prove to be a fruitful matchup.
Verdict: Low priority, $1-3 FAB.
Boubacar Kamara (Ros 35%)
Prospects: Boubacar Kamara is one of the more safe than sexy picks this week. 12.75, 8.5 and 8.75 fantasy points in his last 3 starts with the majority of those points coming from defensive contributions. Aston Villa's next match sees them take on Manchester City at home, where said defensive contributions will certainly be needed. If you need a MID-5 with a decent floor, Kamara could be your guy.
Verdict: Low priority, $1 FAB.
Antonio Silva (Ros 35%)
Prospects: Antonio Silva is coming off his highest score this season of 16.25 fantasy points thanks to Bournemouth able to secure their first clean sheet. Mentioned previously in GW 6 waivers, those who held through the Chelsea loss last week were awarded for their patience. Considering his CB counterpart James Hill (81% rostered) only has 11.25 more fantasy points over 7 GWs, Silva may be the best long term waiver option available.
Verdict: Low priority, $3-5 FAB.
