Players To Pick
Brennan Johnson (Spurs)
Brennan Johnson (6.7m) got an assist against Chelsea last Gameweek. The forward has been a standout performer for Spurs this season with six goals and three assists. Spurs face a struggling Southampton side this week.
Kai Havertz (Arsenal)
Kai Havertz (7.9m) also registered an assist last Gameweek against Fulham. Arsenal’s next three fixtures are ranked two on the fixture difficulty rating. If you are looking for an Arsenal double-up in attack with Bukayo Saka (10.6m), then Havertz is the forward to select.
Jarrod Bowen (West Ham)
Jarrod Bowen (7.4m) registered a goal and assist against Wolves to get a second double digit haul for the season. Bowen has been West Ham’s standout attacker this season with four goals and five assists. West Ham’s next three fixtures are ranked three or lower on the fixture difficulty rating.
Dominic Solanke (Spurs)
Dominic Solanke (7.5m) scored last Gameweek against Chelsea. Despite struggling for consistency, Solanke has a good chance to get consecutive returns when he faces a Southampton side at the bottom of the table.
Differentials
Daniel Muñoz (Crystal Palace)
Daniel Muñoz (4.7m) has scored 24 points in his last three games, scoring two goals and earning a clean sheet. Muñoz has displayed his attacking potential as Crystal Palace’s wing-back while also giving FPL managers clean-sheets.
Nikola Milenković (Nottingham Forest)
Nikola Milenković (4.5m) scored against Manchester United last Gameweek from a set-piece header. This shows the attacking potential Milenković could have in set-piece scenarios along with Murillo (4.6m). Nottingham Forest are also pretty reliable for defensive returns with five clean sheets this season.
Dejan Kulusevski (Spurs)
Dejan Kulusevski (6.3m) scored midweek in the Europa League and he also scored against Chelsea. Despite a lower ownership than Johnson and Solanke, Kulusevski is arguably the Spurs forward who is currently in the best form.
Jadon Sancho (Chelsea)
Jadon Sancho (6.2m) has scored in consecutive games, with one of those goals coming off the bench. Sancho could be a great differential ahead of Chelsea’s great fixture run. The Chelsea winger has an ownership of just 1.3%.
Captaincy Options
Cole Palmer (11.1m), Mohamed Salah (13.4m) and Bukayo Saka (10.6m) will all be strong considerations for captaincy this week. These three players have been the standout performers these past few Gameweeks and they all have home fixtures this week.
If you are looking for a differential captain, then Erling Haaland (14.9m) could very easily outscore every player this week like he has often done in the past. Although Manchester City’s form is far from their usual selves, FPL managers should not rule out their ability to turn it around.
