Premier League Player News & Updates
Goalkeeper Waiver Wire Pickups – Fantrax & Sleeper GW24
Djordje Petrovic, Bournemouth (38% Fantrax, 35% Sleeper)
Petrovic gets a trip to Wolverhampton in Gameweek 24 and that's reason enough to look his way for a streaming option. He hasn't posted double-digit points in nearly two months, but he's a solid bet for four to eight points in Saturday's matchup, assuming Wolves don't significantly outperform expectations.
Defender Waiver Wire Picks - Fantrax & Sleeper GW24
Ola Aina, Nottingham Forest (27% Fantrax, 14% Sleeper)
Aina has taken control of full-back duties now that he's healthy and has started Forest's last four league matches, posting an impressive 19.75 points at the weekend during the 2-0 win over Brentford. Aina has yet to record a goal involvement since returning, but he's provided crosses while also combining for nine interceptions and 14 clearances over that stretch. Forest take on struggling Crystal Palace at home Sunday.

Andrew Robertson, Liverpool (20% Fantrax, 12% Sleeper)
This is a speculative add ahead of the transfer deadline with Robertson being the subject of a potential move to Tottenham. Robertson's role at Liverpool has diminished this season, and as a result, his playing time has dried up at Liverpool. But, if he were to carve out a starting role at a new club, he'd be a viable fantasy option. When he starts, Robertson is still capable of attacking upside from full-back which isn't always easy to find on the waiver wire, especially with set pieces always possible.
Midfielder Waiver Wire Picks - Fantrax & Sleeper GW24
Crysencio Summerville, West Ham (39% Fantrax, 15% Sleeper)
Summerville has started four straight league matches and is in form with goals in two straight, totaling eight shots and eight chances created in that period. Summerville is worth an add for managers in need of midfield depth as West Ham are improving and his form has been a big reason why. This weekend's match at Chelsea isn't the easiest one, but a trip to Burnley follows.
Emiliano Buendia, Aston Villa (29% Fantrax, 34% Sleeper)
Buendia has been back in the starting XI due to injuries in the side and his manager's faith was rewarded at the weekend during an 18-point performance in which he scored a goal in the 2-0 win over Newcastle. When in the XI, Buendia is a fantasy player capable of reaching double-digit points even without a goal involvement, as he can cross, create chances and fire shots from wide areas as one of the main creators for Villa.
Forward Waiver Wire Picks - Fantrax & Sleeper GW24
Wilson Odobert, Tottenham (24% Fantrax, 6% Sleeper)
Odobert is another beneficiary of injuries for Spurs having made four straight starts in all competitions while providing three assists across two games this past week, two in the Champions League and one during the 2-2 draw with Burnley. Odobert has played wide and centrally, going at least 83 minutes in each of his four starts. While Manchester City are next in Gameweek 24, he's worth an add now ahead of easier matches.
Lorenzo Lucca, Nottingham Forest (1% Fantrax, 0% Sleeper)
Lucca transferred to Forest to provide some cover at forward as the team remains without Chris Wood due to injury. Lucca will compete with Igor Jesus, who scored at the weekend and is also readily available, and is one to watch moving forward. Lucca never got much of a run after joining Napoli in the summer, but he's a season removed from a 12-goal campaign at Udinese.
