Bart Verbruggen, <\/b>Brighton<\/b>, keeper, \u00a34.5m – <\/b>Burnley<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Brighton don’t keep a host of clean sheets – four in 19 games – but a home match against Burnley is as good a chance as any.<\/p>\n
Verbruggen makes a lot of saves too – he has at least one save point in six of his past eight games – and his 11-pointer against Sunderland shows the upside if you do get a clean sheet out of him.<\/p>\n
He earned three bonus points and two save points in that match, on top of his clean sheet.<\/p>\n
Gabriel, <\/b>Arsenal<\/b>, \u00a36.4m – <\/b>Bournemouth<\/b> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n
He’s back and has already gone up in price, so FPL managers will be jumping on the Gabriel bandwagon again.<\/p>\n
Clean sheets, huge goal threat, 16 bonus points so far. He’s an easy pick if you have the money.<\/p>\n
Malick Thiaw, <\/b>Newcastle<\/b>, \u00a35m – <\/b>Crystal Palace<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Palace’s team xG was the fourth best among all teams until flying wing-back Daniel Munoz got injured. <\/p>\n
Since then, from gameweek 15, they have been in the bottom 10 and goals have dried up.<\/p>\n
Thiaw is Newcastle’s most reliable defender, the only one to have scored this season (twice) and has defensive contribution (defcon) points in five of his 16 starts.<\/p>\n
James Tarkowski, <\/b>Everton<\/b>, \u00a35.6m – <\/b>Brentford<\/b> (h)<\/b><\/p>\n
Tarkowski got a whopping 19 defcons in the win at Forest and he has now earned the two-point bonus in 13 of 19 starts.<\/p>\n
He’s super reliable for an Everton side with two clean sheets in a row.<\/p>\n
Jeremie Frimpong, <\/b>Liverpool<\/b>, \u00a35.7m – <\/b>Fulham<\/b> (a)<\/b><\/p>\n
Bit of a wildcard pick this one but Frimpong is a defender playing out of position on the right wing for one of the best attacks – in theory – in the league.<\/p>\n
He passed the eye test in Liverpool’s 0-0 draw with Leeds on Thursday, setting up the one big chance of the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
