Top marksman
Looking at the market for a goalscorer, it would seem a good idea to side with Odsonne Edouard. The Crystal Palace forward has found the back of the net 2 times in his first 2 appearances. Managing 2 goals in his previous 6 games for Brighton makes Neal Maupay an obvious threat to any defense right now.
