William Hill Premiership

Fantasy Football: Matchweek 2

Will you stick or twist with your starting XI?

cinch Premiership Fantasy Football is a marathon and not a sprint so regardless of how you fared on the opening weekend - there are decisions to be made.

Managers who invested in Celtic midfielders earned some strong returns with Matt O’Riley earning 34.1 points – the highest of any player - while David Turnbull’s double secured 31.8 points. As the reigning champions head to Pittodrie for Sunday’s live Sky Sports clash, which players from both sides will make your squad?

Rangers, Hearts and Hibernian were all in European action in midweek and with important second legs to come there is the issue of potential squad rotation to consider for week 2.

After being named on the bench last time out, will Todd Cantwell (£12.8m) earn a starting role as Rangers welcome Livingston to Ibrox on Saturday?

Hearts attacking duo Yutaro Oda (26.8 points) and Lawrence Shankland (28 points) both found the net on the opening weekend but standing in their way is Will Dennis (30 points) as Kilmarnock head to Tynecastle on Sunday.

Dylan Vente (£8.9m) made an instant impact on his first Hibernian start so can he take that form into cinch Premiership action? He could get his first taste of Scotland’s top flight as Hibernian travel to face Motherwell on Sunday.

After recording 30 points on Matchweek 1, St. Mirren skipper Mark O’Hara is the second most purchased player heading into this new round of matches. He’ll be aiming to add to his points tally and continue the Buddies’ good start when he faces his former club Dundee in Paisley.

Drey Wright was one of St. Johnstone’s highest scoring players last season so how will his injury change things up for the McDiarmid Park men? They travel up the A9 to take on a Ross County side, who impressed many with their MD1 display at Celtic Park.

Please remember that this season, players who fail to select all 16 squad members will see their matchweek total halved and we don’t want your work to go to waste.

Make sure you make any changes to your squad ahead of Saturday’s 3pm deadline.
