Vitaly Janelt again performed well for the Bees, adding an assist and another double-digit point game. He’s rostered in 40% of leagues, and if he’s available, he should be a top priority for managers. Pascal Gross played the full 90 against Manchester City, with just a decent points output. But he is still a long-term pick-up if available. Valentin Castellanos got that start upon his arrival, and he showed promise and still should be considered if managers need a forward. Dilane Bakwa didn’t start but played most of the second half, for just minimal points.
Week 22 Fantasy Draft EPL Waiver Wire
Week 22 suggestions (rostered 50% or less) are listed in order from most to least rostered.
Emile Smith Rowe – Midfielder – Rostered 44% – Leeds vs Fulham
Smith Rowe has become a key player in Fulham’s rise up the table, as they haven’t lost in six games. He scored double-digit points again with an assist against Chelsea, who they’re now tied with on points in the table. Fulham travel to Leeds, who lost their last game, 4-3, and haven’t won in four. He has three goals on the season, and Fulham will be looking to keep their momentum going.
Kieran Trippier – Defender – Rostered 42% – Wolves vs Newcastle
Tippier is back healthy, and he hasn’t played in the EPL since November. He got a few minutes in the midweek EFL Cup loss. With injuries mounting, Lewis Miley and others have filled in at right back. Trippier should get the chance to start, making him worth a look on the EPL waiver wire. He scored over 20 Fantrax points in their previous game against Wolves this season. Wolves sit in last place, but have five points from their last three and scored five goals in those too. Nothing is sure in the EPL, but it’s a good upside for Trips
Eli Kroupi – Forward – Rostered 39% – Brighton vs Bournemouth
With Antoine Semenyo making a big-money move to Manchester City, Kroupi should see more regular time. He’s scored seven goals on the season so far, including back-to-back games with a goal. Bournemouth have had mixed results recently, but they have scored two or more in their last three games. Kroupi will want to take this chance to show he can be a regular fixture in the starting lineup.
Mateus Mané – Forward – Rostered 29% – Wolves vs Newcastle
Mané (no, not THAT Mane) has made a impact since his introduction into the lineup four games ago. They haven’t lost in the last three, including earning their first win of the season. Mané has scored in back-to-back games, too. He has 11 shots over this stretch, with over half on target. Wolves has needed a boost, and Mané might just be the player to do so. Wolves still have only seven points, and they need wins if they’re going to have any chance to stay up. There’s a big upside here on the EPL waiver wire for Fantrax managers.
Watch for injury news and the matchups. Have fun. Good luck.
