Players To Pick
Bryan Mbuemo (Brentford)
Bryan Mbuemo (7.7m) scored breached a strong Arsenal defence in midweek to take his goal tally to eleven. Despite Brentford’s struggles away from home this season, the Bees visit a Southampton side at the bottom of the table.
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
Antoine Semenyo (5.6m) provided an assist in Bournemouth’s stalemate with Fulham, reinforcing his value as a budget pick. Semenyo faces Everton, who he scored against in the reverse fixture.
Phil Foden (Manchester City)
Phil Foden (9.2m) provided an assist in Manchester City’s 2-0 victory over Leicester City. Foden’s expected assists have picked up in the last two games, suggesting a growing influence and improvement in form.
Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa)
With Jhon Durán (5.8m) suspended for two more games, Ollie Watkins (8.8m) could cement his spot back in Aston Villa’s starting eleven. Watkins has made a good start, netting a goal against Brighton. Aston Villa face a Leicester side struggling at the lower end of the table.
Sleeper Picks
Tyler Dibling (Southampton)
Tyler Dibling (4.5m) has been impressive for Southampton this season despite just the two goals this season. Dibling scored against Crystal Palace in his previous appearance and faces a Brentford side that are winless away from home.
Morgan Gibbs-White (Nottingham Forest)
Morgan Gibbs-White (6.4m) scored ten points in his previous game and six points in the game before that. The midfielder has only blanked once in his last five appearances, and with the way that Nottingham Forest are playing, his form could continue.
Savinho (Manchester City)
Savinho (6.4m) scored his first goal of the season against Leicester City and also contributed an assist to deliver an impressive 14 points. Savinho’s ownership is just above one percent, which could make him a big differential if Manchester City can build on their recent victory.
Joelinton (Newcastle United)
Joelinton (6.0m) has delivered consecutive double digit hauls against Manchester United and Aston Villa, amassing a total of 23 points with two goals and an assist. Newcastle are in form and face a struggling Spurs this Saturday.
Captaincy Options
Mohamed Salah (13.6m) again rewarded FPL managers who continue to captain him with sixteen points against West Ham United. Salah faces a Manchester United side who have lost five of their last six.
Alexander Isak (9.2m) is again a great alternative to consider. Isak has been on a consistent run of form with returns in his previous six appearances. The Swede’s ownership has exceeded fifty percent.
Erling Haaland (14.8m) could be a great punt if you have him in your team. Haaland returned to goalscoring ways after a three game dry spell in front of goal. He now faces West Ham, who conceded five in their last game.
