Low-Owned Picks for Gameweek 14

We’ve opened a Discord community for Draft Fantasy. The best place to talk fantasy football with others!

The run of returns from midfielder picks continued last week with Justin Kluivert bagging his first serious points of the season. With fixtures set to come thick and fast as we enter the festive period, here are five more low-owned picks to consider picking up to bolster your squads. Don't forget to vote for which of this week's picks you think will deliver the goods!

 Ben Mee (BRE) DEF Ownership: 48.6% Next Fixture: LUT (H)
Despite a mixed bag of results, Brentford have put in some strong defensive showings in recent weeks. Shipping just the single goal last time out to high-flyers Arsenal, they will be looking to go one better this week as they face one of the poorer teams when travelling away from home in Luton Town. This pick is a three-way tie between Pinnock, Ajer and Mee, but I'm opting for Mee given his performances for me in the past. If there are still Brentford defenders available in your league, grab them while you still can!
 

Joel Matip (LIV) DEF Ownership: 35.4% Next Fixture: FUL (H)
Though he may not be 100% nailed on for a starting spot, Konate starting midweek in Europe bodes well for old Joel to get the nod in this weeks runout against Fulham. The Cottagers are yet to really hit the form of last season and Liverpool have put them to the sword in the past. Should they do so again, having a defender in your side will be no bad thing, particularly one who carries Matip's goal threat.

Abdoulaye Doucoure (EVE) MID Ownership: 33.1% Next Fixture: NFO (A)
A regular in low-owned picks from previous seasons, I'm backing Doucoure to keep up his strong start to the season and return again this weekend in Everton's away fixture against Nottingham Forest. With six attacking returns already this season and four of them away from home it's well worth taking a punt on the big man if you're in search of a fifth midfielder spot and don't fancy your chances with any of the Burnley or Sheffield United boys.

Anthony Elanga (NFO) MID Ownership: 23.9% Next Fixture: EVE (H)
I'm hoping for Forest vs Everton to be topping the bill on Match of the Day this week as I turn to Doucoure's opponent on the left flank of the Forest wing for my second pick, Anthony Elanga. Forest have a good upcoming run of fixtures and with a goal in each of his last two fixtures, Elanga could be worth picking up whilst still available. At just 23.9% ownership, he's well worth the shout if you're looking to tweak your team this week or play for the upcoming fixtures.

Jay Rodriguez (BUR) FWD Ownership: 17.9% Next Fixture: SHU (H)
My striker pick for this week is Jay Rodriguez. On penalty duties and up against whipping boys, Sheffield United, this weekend, J-Rod presents great value for those in need of that troublesome third striker spot. In truth, neither side has looked like doing fantasy managers many favours this season, but with slim pickings, it makes sense to play for the best fixtures and there's none better right now than a home tie against the Blades. Worth a shot anyway.

That will do it for this week from Draft Fantasy! Best of luck on the waiver wire!
