Players To Pick
Matheus Cunha (Wolves)
Matheus Cunha (7.1m) has amassed 30 points in his last three games, scoring three goals and assisting once. Cunha has continued his great form this season, despite Wolves’ managerial change. Cunha has ten goals and four assists this season and now faces a Spurs side with injuries in defence.
Anthony Gordon (Newcastle United)
Anthony Gordon (7.3m) has blanked just once in his last six games, scoring twice and assisting three times. Gordon could be a great double-up option with Alexander Isak (9.1m) if FPL managers are looking to take advantage of Newcastle’s great form. Despite Isak, Gordon has had the most shots on target for Newcastle.
Ola Aina (Nottingham Forest)
Ola Aina (5.1m) has kept two clean sheets and scored once in his previous two games. Aina is not only part of a solid Nottingham Forest defence, but he also joins the attacks often, evidenced by his two goals this season. Therefore, Aina provides potential at both ends of the pitch.
Jordan Pickford (Everton)
Jordan Pickford (4.9m) has amassed 47 points in his last seven games. These points were earned from keeping five clean sheets, saves and saving a penalty. Pickford is not only keeping clean sheets in a solid Everton defence, but he is earning more save points than other goalkeepers.
Differential Picks
Cody Gakpo (Liverpool)
Cody Gakpo (7.2m) has scored three goals and assisted once in his last three home games. Despite Gakpo blanking in his recent away games, there’s no doubt his form has picked up. This makes Gakpo an interesting differential at 4.6% ownership.
Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
Anthony Elanga (5.1m) has scored three goals in three games, despite being a substitute in one of these games. Elanga achieved this in games that were ranked four on the Fixture Difficulty Ranking. This shows that Elanga is in good form and should definitely be considered with only 1.5% ownership.
Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle United)
Bruno Guimarães (6.1m) has been playing in a more advanced role for Newcastle since the return of Sandro Tonali (5.5m). This has increased the attacking threat of the Brazilian, who has three assists and a goal in his last six games. His ownership is just 1.8%.
Gonçalo Guedes (Wolves)
Gonçalo Guedes (5.3m) scored a goal and got an assist, earning a double-digit haul in his previous away game. It seems that Guedes is getting more minutes under new boss Vitor Pereira. This means Guedes could line-up against a severely weakened Spurs defence.
Captaincy Options
Cole Palmer (11.3m) secured a double-digit return in his previous game and now faces an Ipswich side who are still yet to win at home this season. Palmer has also returned in both games against the other two teams in the bottom three which are Wolves and Southampton.
Mohamed Salah (13.5m) will again be a popular captaincy candidate this Gameweek. Like Palmer, Salah scored a single goal. Alexander Isak (9.1m) also scored a single goal and will be a strong consideration with the form he is displaying.
