Low-Owned Picks for Gameweek 16

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

A goal inside 15 seconds from Jay Rodriguez and a chart-topping goal and assist from Ben Mee kicked off gameweeks 14 and 15 off in style, before Abdoulaye Doucoure returned in last night's demolition of Newcastle. With fixtures coming thick and fast, here are some more low-owned picks to consider grabbing this week.

Hugo Bueno (WOL) DEF Ownership: 1% Next Fixture: NFO (H)
Having previously called out Bueno as a threat to fellow (injured) gem, Rayan Ait-Nouri, I'm backing the young Portuguese full back this week. Forest looked in disarray mid-week in their 5-0 drubbing from Fulham and they are on the road again this week to a Wolves side that have continued to quietly impress under Gary O'Neil. Never one to pass up an attacking full back, I've snapped up Bueno in a couple of teams and, if available, I'd encourage others to do the same.

Jayden Bogle (SHU) DEF Ownership: 1.8% Next Fixture: BRE (H)
Unbelievably, I'm tipping two Sheffield United players this week with the first in their defence. The return of the prodigal Wilder saw the Blades put in one of their better performances this season and kept Liverpool to a fairly dire 2 goal win. It may not have been enough to beat the Scousers, but up against a Brentford -side short of Talisman 1 and 2 in Ivan Toney and now Bryan Mbeumo, the fixture is there for them to show what they can do. Bogle, another attacking full back is my pick. Though do keep an eye on team news as he isn't 100% assured of a start.

Pablo Sarabia (WOL) MID Ownership: 0.4% Next Fixture: NFO (H)
The second of my Wolves picks this week is Pablo Sarabia. If it hadn't been for Garnacho's wonder-goal a couple of weeks back, I'd have probably been putting Sarabia's late strike vs Spurs up there in goal of the season contenders. One to blow hot and cold in his time at Wolves, Sarabia should get the nod to continue on the left wing with Pedro Neto still yet to return to training.

Tomas Soucek (WHU) MID Ownership: 29.6% Next Fixture: FUL (A)
I've resisted going for my favourite low owned gem in Doucoure for a second successive week and am instead turning to another to have graced the list on more than one previous occasion, Tomas Soucek. Not unlike a certain, better-owned, Scott McTominay, the big Czech continues to turn up in front of goal this season despite ongoing denigration from the fanbase. However, Another winner against a Fulham side buoyed by their midweek exploits may just be enough to have even the most die-hard Hammers fans reconsidering their grumbles and I'm tipping the big man to do just that.

William Osula (SHU) FWD Ownership: 0.7% Next Fixture: BRE (H)
Not a name that had been familiar to me until this week, my final pick is yet another Sheffield United player. Honestly, they're like buses. Rubbish at football. Well, perhaps not, but if Sheffield United are to score against Brentford, I fancy Osula to be involved. He looked lively midweek having been brought in from the cold by Chris Wilder and for those rotating their 3rd striker slot, this may be a fun one to show-off to your friends with when he bags a brace.

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