Fantasy Premier League Tips: 5 Essential Transfers For Week 2

2. Danny Welbeck

Value: £7.6 million Team: Manchester United Points In GW1: 13 Manchester United's Danny Welbeck was an unlikely success-story in Gameweek 1. The usually-goal-shy striker only netted once all season in 2012/13 but he's already doubled his record from last term by scoring twice in the champion's 4-1 win away to Swansea City. Bonus points included, the starlet would have bagged you 13 points at the weekend if you'd had him in your Fantasy, which many of you didn't because the England star was only picked by 5.6% of the website's users. And he's definitely worth having for Gameweek 2, particularly as Wayne Rooney isn't likely to play against Chelsea next Monday, seeing as though the Blues have been trying to sign him all summer. Also, with Javier Hernandez only having a 50% chance of playing due to a thigh injury, it's almost certain that Welbeck will start alongside Robin van Persie in United's attack next week. And if he can replicate his form from the opening week of fixtures, having him could well be a smart move - particularly as he's only £7.6 million. Next Game: Chelsea (H)
