Monitor: Alvaro Negredo

Manchester City continued to strengthen their squad this season by the addition of another forward: "Alvaro Negredo" from Spanish La Liga club Sevilla. Negredo has set his stamp on the La Liga and is well known as a proven goalscorer in Spain. His abilities earned him a place in the highly rated Spanish squad for Euro 2012 squad and made a couple of appearances.

Now that we are set to welcome him in the Premier League this season, let us see his prospects.

FTT Scout Player Report: From the scout's perspective, here is a brief description on him. He is a tall player with great finishing ability and is on the pitch just to score goals. Not only he has good finishing but his ariel abilities makes him a threat on set-pieces too. He is capable of leading the front-line alone and was played mostly as a lone striker in Sevilla.

Manchester City's squad consists of many talented players and no doubt Negredo has to fight for a place.

Edin Dzeko is a striker who has a similar style of play as Negredo. Comparatively, Negredo is much quicker which gives him an edge and we should expect Negredo to push Dzeko to the bench and lead the line. Another new signing Jovetic can also play as a striker but due to his versatility, we expect the manager to use him elsewhere and this could affect his FPL appeal.

Furthermore, there is Sergio Aguero who can play up-top or on the flanks and Pelligrini could in fact use him as a striker at times too. But there is still time and we have to watch out how the manager plans to use this team. We should be all set for the BPL Asia Trophy and see what roles the players get.

If Negredo manages to cement his place as a lone striker of Manchester City, 9.5 mil won't be a big deal for FPL managers and we would soon have him as a Hot FPL player!

Monitor: QPR

We have seen the managerial skills of Harry Redknapp all these years in the Premier League and I think he will give his best to save QPR from relegation this season.

The fixtures have not been kind for them recently, still it looks like they have picked up a rhythm with Remy leading the line and Tarrabt just behind dictating the game with his magical movements, at the back Julio Cesar has racked up 3 clean sheets in 4 matches in the process with some outstanding saves regardless of how strong the opponents were.
The last four results that reads for QPR are:

CHE(A) win 1-0
TOT(H) draw 0-0
WHU(A) draw 1-1
MCI(H) draw 0-0

Although Ryan Nelsen's influence played a big role in these matches, I think they will find a good replacement for him in this  transfer window and with the money available to them, they might even find a few more good players for other positions.
QPR players are now worth monitoring from Fantasy's perspective as they come in much cheaper. Here are some whom you should consider:

• Adel Tarrabt (MID): Quoted as "The Next Zidane" by many earlier, he looks an enticing member from this team due to the abilities that reflect in his game. Moreover, he looks nailed on for penalties and free kicks, and he exchanges turns at the corner. Coming in at only £5.7, he could be considered as a budget-saver!

• Julio Cesar(GK): As we all know, he is a world class goalkeeper and just needs a little support from his fellow defenders to get a good game and a CS. No goalkeeper can do good with a leaky defense and I think Harry will try his best to get the right players for the job in this transfer window. At £4.9, he looks a gamble if you pick him over the likes of Mignolet or Sorensen but who knows!! At the end of the season, you might be the one being in profit with his form and with the extra budget used to upgrade other areas of your team. We can already see people getting him in their teams as he is the most transferred in Goalkeeper this week!

• Fabio(DEF): A young and energetic player, he has been utilised as a left midfielder occasionally which makes him an equally hot Fantasy target as Cesar! Moreover he comes at £4.2 and is a good alternative into QPR's defense for those who don't opt Cesar over other GKs.

• Loic Remy(FWD): Has made a good reputation at France and looks to adapt well at EPL with a goal in his debut. He looks to be the missing part in QPR's attacking puzzle. He can make beautiful movements to lure defenders away and allow Tarrabt to fire his cannoning shots at goal and is equally capable of snatching the through balls and converting them into beautiful goals.
  
  So, its just a matter of time that will decide how well QPR will do and how well these players will do in FPL, and I think they're worth monitoring!
