Daniel Sturridge: The England international has always scored goals, and now has two in two for his new club Liverpool. With Brendan Rodgers set to play Sturridge in his favoured centre forward role, the former Chelsea man could prove a bargain at a cut-price £7.3m following a lack of pitch time at Stamford Bridge.

Sturridge’s Liverpool teammate Luis Suarez has scored hattricks in his last two appearances against Norwich so the Uruguayan could also be worth a punt…
Mohamed Diame: Back from injury and still ridiculously cheap at £4.7m, if Diame can re-discover his November to early-December form he could become the bargain of the fantasy season. If you’re lucky, he could also secure a switch to North London before the month is up…

The South Coast side has been plunged into uncertainty today following the shock sacking of popular gaffer Nigel Adkins. History shows that, more often than not, supporter unrest has negative effects on the pitch. Take a bit of profit where you can…
