Antoine Semenyo, <\/b>Manchester City<\/b>, \u00a38.3m – <\/b>West Ham<\/b> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n
FPL managers will have some tough decisions to make next week when Arsenal and City blank – it is likely a lot of teams have Semenyo, Erling Haaland and a couple of Gunners, at least.<\/p>\n
Semenyo is City’s most productive player at the moment, especially as Haaland’s goals have dried up.<\/p>\n
Pick him with confidence every week.<\/p>\n
Bruno Fernandes (captain), <\/b>Manchester United<\/b>, \u00a310.1m – <\/b>Aston Villa<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Ditto.<\/p>\n
Fernandes is United’s best player (and FPL asset). He picked up another assist and more bonus points at Newcastle last time out, even in a defeat.<\/p>\n
I’ve already talked before about most of his incredible stats since returning from injury in gameweek 21. Now a new one – 14 bonus points in that time which is, you guessed it, the most of any player.<\/p>\n
Mohamed Salah, <\/b>Liverpool<\/b>, \u00a314m – <\/b>Tottenham<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Watching Salah as an FPL owner isn’t a great experience at the moment – he just doesn’t look like his old self or seem to carry a huge threat.<\/p>\n
But, he has scored in consecutive games now in all competitions, so could he be rolling into a patch of form? He had a big chance and an xG of 0.28 against Wolves last time out, which isn’t too bad.<\/p>\n
And, Spurs are in dire straits at the moment. Missing their two main centre-backs, losing five in a row – it feels like Liverpool could run wild here.<\/p>\n
Salah got three goals and two assists in two league meetings against Tottenham last season.<\/p>\n
Ismaila Sarr, <\/b>Crystal Palace<\/b>, \u00a36.3m – <\/b>Leeds<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
FPL managers who kept faith in Sarr were rewarded last time out with a two-goal haul – and it was coming.<\/p>\n
Sarr is an underlying stats king. Since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations in gameweek 23, he has the most big chances – tied with Cole Palmer – of any midfielder (7).<\/p>\n
And those numbers have been consistent all season. <\/p>\n
He has 0.68 big chances per appearance – only Bryan Mbeumo has a higher number. <\/p>\n
And the Senegal midfielder’s xG of 0.42 per appearance is bettered only by Palmer (0.46).<\/p>\n
Marcus Tavernier, <\/b>Bournemouth<\/b>, \u00a35.3m – <\/b>Burnley<\/b> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n
Tavernier was in this team for the previous gameweek and hit the post twice, recording an xG of 1.37.<\/p>\n
Unlucky, but all signs of what a bargain gem he could be for the rest of the season, especially as he is likely on penalties for Bournemouth.<\/p>\n
Burnley let in four in their last home game, and visitors to Turf Moor in the league have scored at least twice in every game since a goalless draw with Everton at the end of December.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
