Get ready for a thrilling Gameweek with a fantasy squad that's sure to spark debates!
We've scouted the best players for your team, featuring a lethal striker and a surprising triple Newcastle United presence. But will these choices pay off?
Goalkeeper:
- Nick Pope (Newcastle United) - £5.1m: Pope is back with a bang! Despite his recent injury, he's reclaimed his starting spot, averaging an impressive 4.5 points per match. Only Sunderland's Robin Roefs has outscored him among Fantasy goalkeepers.
Defenders:
- Gabriel (Arsenal) - £6.6m: Arsenal's defensive powerhouse is in red-hot form, scoring in his last two starts and leading the defender rankings. His all-around game makes him a must-have for many managers ahead of the deadline.
- Michael Keane (Everton) - £4.8m: Keane shines at home, and with Wolverhampton Wanderers visiting, he aims to add to his impressive 60 points this season. Can he keep the Wanderers at bay?
- Marcos Senesi (AFC Bournemouth) - £4.8m: Senesi's defensive contributions are top-notch, and with a stingy home record, he's poised for a clean sheet against a struggling Tottenham Hotspur attack.
Midfielders:
- Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) - £10.2m: Despite limited minutes, Saka's impact is undeniable. He's been involved in eight of the last 10 Gameweeks, and his form against Liverpool could be crucial.
- Matheus Cunha (Manchester United) - £8.2m: Cunha is on fire! With three goals and an assist in his last six Gameweeks, he's a consistent threat and a great value pick.
- Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle United) - £7.1m: Guimaraes is a home hero, second only to Erling Haaland in points for home matches. His recent double-figure scores make him a captaincy contender.
Forwards:
- Harvey Barnes (Newcastle United) - £6.1m: Rested and ready, Barnes is set to terrorize Leeds United. His shot and big chance stats are impressive, and he's due for a breakout game.
- Erling Haaland (Manchester City) - £15.1m: Haaland seeks redemption against Brighton & Hove Albion. With the Seagulls conceding heavily in recent games, he's poised for a goal-scoring comeback.
- Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) - £8.7m: Watkins is on the rise, scoring six goals and assisting twice in the last seven Gameweeks. He's breathing down Haaland's neck in the scoring charts.
- Igor Thiago (Brentford) - £6.9m: The hat-trick hero! Thiago's recent performance has made him a fan favorite, and with a favorable fixture list, he's a great budget option.
