Most Premier League clubs were in [Insert Drink-Based Product Here]Cup action this week; with itoffering us the chance to assess more fringe players for prospective fantasy team inclusion.Some Chelsea youngster, Kevin Hezzard, came off the bench and scored a blinder, so he’s certainly one to watch moving forward.We also learned that the icy cold death stare of Jose Mourinho is only ever just one Instagram post away, so please consider that before you share that next picture of your beloved Fido...Buy! James Maddison, Leicester(MF, £6.8M)Owned by: 11%Riyad Mahrez’s departure was sad but inevitable for Leicester, who made a shrewd acquisition to help fill the void that their mercurial Algerian left behind.James Maddison has hit the ground running since his summer move from Norwich. The 21-year-old served up 14 goals and eight assists in the Championship last season before securing his big move, and is showing similar levels of productivity already in the top flight.The fantasy format is primarily based around goals and assists, and with four attacking returns in his opening six matches, Maddison is creeping up in terms of ownership percentage. This consistency has led to almost 200,000 managers bringing him in ahead of GW7.Foxes manager Claude Puel seemingly wanted to ease him in at first, and had a nasty habit of taking Maddison off in the second halves of matches. He’s played 82, 90 and 84 minutes in his last three games, though, which bodes well for coming weeks.Leicester’s upcoming fixtures look good: Arsenal are their sole ‘big six’ opponent in a run that also features Newcastle, Everton, West Ham, Cardiff and Burnley.Sell! Benjamin Mendy, Manchester City (DF, £6.3m)Owned by: 19.9%A painful one to include. Perhaps even more painful than the supposed foot injury that Mendy is currently recovering from.Manchester City have remained incredibly coy over Mendy’s current setback, and with no clear return date it’s with regret that he falls into the sell category– particularly in light of Friday'sESPNstorywhich suggests the Frenchman has aggravated Pep Guardiola by turning up three hours late for treatment.When fit, Mendy should be one of the first names on your fantasy teamsheet, such is the attacking force that he provides from left-back. He would probably fall into the 'hold' category had there been any clear indication on a return to the team, but 400,000 bosses have dropped him this week. It’s simply too much defensive budget invested on the bench.Hold! Marko Arnautovic, West Ham (FW, £6.9m)Owned by: (13.4%)West Ham vs Chelsea somehow managed to finish goalless in Gameweek 6, partially thanks to a string of saves from Lukasz Fabianski’s hands, feet, face and essentially any part of his anatomy he could get in front of the ball. At the other end of the pitch, Marko Arnautovic’s presence was badly missed – never more so than when summer arrival Andriy Yarmolenko managed to fluff his lines with a free header.Arnautovic’s transition from midfielder to striker has been a successful one, and three goals in his opening five matches suggest that he can continue to be effective – especially when you consider the Hammers’ poor form so far this season.Boss Manuel Pellegrini says the Austrian is fit to lead the attack against a Manchester United team reeling from a hideous week of PR. Despite almost 80,000 managers losing faith this week and selling up, Arnautovic makes our ‘hold’ list.FantasyYIRMAstarted in 2012, focused on FPL news and previews.
