Who’s leading so far? Well, of course it’s Blazin Hansroy, but two of our writers have both together decent weeks to stay within striking distance. How’s your team doing?

To the field, where Spurs surprise defender Eric Dier continues to make Mauricio Pochettino look brilliant for poaching the 20-year-old away from Portugal and back to his home country. Hull’s Allan McGregor is the only holdover in the Top Five thanks to his big opening week.
Top scorers this season
1. Eric Dier, DF, Tottenham (44 pts)
2. Aaron Ramsey, MID, Arsenal (35 pts)
3. Stewart Downing, MID, West Ham (34 pts)
4. Steven Naismith, FWD, Everton (32 pts)
5. Allan McGregor, GK, Hull (31 pts)
Of course, it benefitted you to have multi-goal man Nacer Chadli in the lineup last week as well.
Now, every week we’ll give you a few new names to monitor who are owned by less than 1 percent of Fantasy players. Here’s your first batch to keep an eye on:
1. Danny Ings, FWD, Burnley -- 4.75 mil, .79% owned
2. Vurnon Anita, MID, Newcastle – 6.54 mil, .62% owned
3. Craig Gardner, MID, West Brom – 6.16 mil, .37% owned
I’m very high on Gardner, a respectable player who has looked more than decent over the first few weeks of the season. Anita should put up respectable points as a reliable contributor at Newcastle, while Ings is loved at Burnley and capable of having some big weeks for little dough.
