Players to Pick
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
Jarrod Bowen (7.5m) faces a Southampton side struggling at the bottom of the table. Bowen has scored 18 points in his last three games, scoring once and providing two assists.
Luis Díaz (Liverpool)
Luis Díaz (7.5m) scored a double-digit haul against Spurs, scoring twice. The Colombian linked up well with Mohamed Salah (13.5m) and this could make him a great Liverpool double up option in attack for FPL managers. Only one of Liverpool’s next seven games rank four on the Fixture Difficulty Rating.
Gabriel Jesus (Arsenal)
Gabriel Jesus (6.8m) has returned to goalscoring form by netting a hat-trick against Crystal Palace in the Carabao Cup and the then scoring a brace against the same opponents in the league. Jesus seems to have earned a spot in Arsenal’s starting eleven, and could continue his form against Ipswich at home.
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool)
Trent Alexander-Arnold (7.1m) displayed his attacking quality with a great assist against Spurs last Gameweek. With Liverpool’s kind run of fixtures, FPL managers should expect clean sheets to combine with these attacking returns.
Differentials
Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth)
Dean Huijsen (4.4m) earned a clean sheet and a goal against Manchester United to claim three bonus points. This performance reinforces Huijsen’s set-piece threat along with potential for clean sheets. Huijsen’s ownership is only 2.3%.
Jacob Murphy (Newcastle)
Jacob Murphy (5.0m) has become highly influential in Newcastle’s recent games. Murphy has amassed 33 points in his last three games, scoring three goals and providing four assists. Newcastle face Aston Villa, who are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this season.
Gabriel Martinelli (Arsenal)
With Bukayo Saka (10.3m) being out for several weeks, Gabriel Martinelli (6.8m) will become more of a focal point in Arsenal’s attack. Martinelli scored in his previous game and now faces an Ipswich side fighting at the bottom of the table. Martinelli’s ownership is currently below five percent.
Ismaïla Sarr (Crystal Palace)
Ismaïla Sarr (5.8m) has scored 24 points in his last two games, scoring three goals and providing an assist against two top half teams in Arsenal and Brighton. Crystal Palace’s next ten out of eleven fixtures rank three or lower in the Fixture Difficulty Rating. With a 3.2% ownership, Sarr could become an effective differential in the next few Gameweeks.
Captaincy Options
Mohamed Salah (13.5m) scored his biggest tally of the season, amassing 21 points against Spurs by scoring twice and providing two assists. Salah faces Leicester, who are yet to keep a clean sheet away from home and have conceded seven goals in their last two games.
Cole Palmer (11.3m) should be considered at home to Fulham. Palmer has only blanked in three home games this season.
Alexander Isak (9.0m) must be considered as a strong alternative to Salah not only because of his hat-trick against Ipswich, but his form in his previous games. Isak has amassed 47 points in his last four games.
