The Fantasy landscape has evolved across the first few games, with a few interesting players finding strong form. One such name is Crystal Palace’s Odsonne Édouard, who is already close to matching his goal tally of five from last campaign after scoring four in his first five league starts. The striker is a strong budget pick at £5.6 million for the coming weeks.
