This week's Fantasy Premier League team focuses on value picks and exploiting favorable matchups. Mohamed Salah and Cole Palmer are highlighted as essential assets, while players like Amad Diallo and Alexander Isak offer potential for big returns. The article also explores captaincy options and provides insights into upcoming double gameweeks.
A major template has emerged with Mohamed Salah , Cole Palmer and Alexander Isak must owns at the moment. But we're about to enter blank and double gameweek season, starting in gameweek 24 with Liverpool and Everton, that could really shake things up in your mini-leagues. In the meantime, you can make short-term gains targeting the worst teams in the league defensively - Wolves and Southampton.
The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit. A Kai Havertz punt failed and captain Bruno Fernandes only returned eight points but Amad Diallo (17), Isak (16), Palmer (10) and Anthony Gordon (9) led the charge toIt was a tricky choice whether to go double defence or attack with Forest but Southampton's recent goal struggles make Selz an easy choice. He might not pick up a ton of save points this week but a clean sheet is a very good chance.Aina is now the top-scoring defender in the game, with Forest's recent run of four-straight clean sheets propelling him ahead of Trent Alexander-Arnold. His two goals this season have come from just seven shots, so an attacking return might not be something to expect. But the potential is there.Bit of a punt this but, after a goal-scoring cameo against Bournemouth on Tuesday, James could start at home to Wolves. Wolves blanked last time at Newcastle and James has so much points potential going forward if he can last for most of the 90 mins.Everton have failed to score in five of their past six games so this is a bet against them finding the back of the net, rather than any faith in Spurs as a defensive unit.A first blank since gameweek seven for the Egyptian last time and well done if you followed the advice of this article and chose a different captain. That choice this week is not as easy - Brentford concede a fair few goals - but he doesn't have the armband again. You'd expect him to get a return but Palmer, probably, has a tiny bit more upside.Three 10-pointers in four games is some consistency from Palmer.Everything seems aligned for the England man to have a big game and these days if he scores one he is almost a lock for three bonus. Antoine Semenyo got two returns to Palmer's one in Bournemouth's draw with Chelsea on Tuesday but was nowhere near him in the bonus points race.I wouldn't say City are back to their best, but Foden showed signs of his old self against Brentford with two goals. Key to him playing better seems to be Kevin de Bruyne starting for City. Foden has had three big chances in the past two games. De Bruyne has played 10 key passes and created three assists.Ismaila Sarr, Crystal Palace, £5.9m - away at West Ham This one is a tough game to call but early signs are that Graham Potter's West Ham won't be super tight at the back. They have conceded twice in both games under him so Palace will fancy getting themselves on the scoresheet.In the past five games he has played nine key passes, created four big chances and had six shots on target - all team highs.Imagine how many goals Jota might score in a season if he could stay fit and start most games. After an instant impact off the bench against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, I reckon Jota gets a start at Brentford and, as mentioned above with Salah, it's a game that is likely to have a few goals.See Salah and Palmer. A must pick but probably not the best captain this week.Just keeps producing and is becoming the kind of striker who can score against anyone, so don't bench him for tough match-ups like many did last week against Liverpool. And speaking of match-ups - this one is about as juicy as it gets. I'd be disappointed if he doesn't score.Daniel Jebbison, Bournemouth, striker, £4.4m - away at NewcastleTaylor Harwood-Bellis, Southampton, defender, £4.1m - away at Nottingham ForestHardly an under-the-radar pick but if Bournemouth don't manage to bring in a striker in the transfer window and Semenyo continues to play out of position as a forward, he might become must-own.The Bees have a nice run of games beyond the next three, with Leicester away and Everton at home in the mix. Brentford games seem to be often productive for both sides and they have options aside from the superb Bryan Mbeumo. Yoane Wissa (£6.2m) is a great forward option - he's on course for 20 goals this season - and what about midfielder Mikkel Damsgaard (£5m) who has had a sneakily good season, with two goals and six assists
