Premier League Fantasy Football: Foden & Richarlison Set to Shine in Gameweek 2
With the first round of Premier League fixtures in the books, fantasy football managers are already planning their Gameweek 2 lineups. Two key players to watch are Phil Foden and Richarlison, who are poised for starting roles for their respective clubs.
Foden's Return to Boost Man City
Manchester City, the reigning champions, opened their campaign with a victory against Chelsea. Now, they prepare to face Ipswich at the Etihad Stadium, with Phil Foden likely to return to the starting lineup. Foden, who missed the first game due to a minor injury, is expected to add another dimension to City's attack, making him a valuable asset for fantasy managers.
Richarlison Steps Up for Spurs
Tottenham, on the other hand, face a challenge in their upcoming match against Everton. Their new signing, Dominic Solanke, is ruled out with an ankle injury, leaving a void in the forward line. Richarlison, who joined Spurs in the summer transfer window, is expected to step into the starting role and could be a shrewd pick for fantasy managers looking for a differential option.

Brighton vs Man United (Saturday, 12.30pm): A clash between two teams aiming for a strong start to the season.

Making the Right Choices
With so many exciting fixtures to look forward to, fantasy managers have a lot to consider when selecting their lineups. Foden and Richarlison offer strong potential, but careful analysis of each player and their respective teams' form is essential for success.
