Position: Goalkeeper Next Fixture: Ipswich (A) Projected Points: 4.3

The charismatic United goalkeeper has been in outstanding form, making 28 saves and keeping 5 clean sheets. Despite some earlier doubts, he has evolved into a dependable shot-stopper. This makes him a fantastic option to solidify his position as the league's top FPL points scorer among goalkeepers.

Lucas Digne (Aston Villa) - £4.7m

Position: Defender Next Fixture: Crystal Palace (H) Projected Points: 4.2

The attacking French full-back has been a standout performer this season.

With 3 assists and an impressive 8 big chances created, he’s effectively playing as an auxiliary midfielder, as highlighted by his advanced average position in the Match Centre feature.

Gabriel (Arsenal) - £6.1m

Position: Defender Next Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H) Projected Points: 4.5

Arsenal’s Brazilian defensive cornerstone offers more than just clean sheets—though he’s already secured 3 this season.

Premier League defenders ranked by xG

His 2 vital goals highlight his aerial threat from set-pieces, and his league-leading xG of 2.01 among defenders (as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox tool) underscores his growing influence in Arteta’s system.

Lewis Hall (Newcastle) - £4.4m

Position: Defender Next Fixture: West Ham (H) Projected Points: 4.0

Hall is an excellent budget option, allowing managers to free up funds for other areas of their teams. His attacking potential is clear, with 1 assist and 2 big chances created, making him good value at his price point. Additionally, Newcastle have a strong chance of keeping a clean sheet against West Ham, who have scored just 13 goals this season.

Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - £12.9m

Position: Midfielder Next Fixture: Southampton (A) Projected Points: 7.6

The Egyptian maestro continues to excel in the Premier League, delivering 8 goals and 6 assists so far this season.

Mo Salah FPL stats in away games

He has amassed a league-leading 54 FPL points in away matches, averaging an impressive 10.8 points per game, as highlighted in the Opta Heatmaps tool. This makes him an outstanding captaincy option, even with an away fixture.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) - £10.9m

Position: Midfielder Next Fixture: Leicester (A) Projected Points: 6.8

Palmer has once again established himself as Chelsea’s standout performer this season, showcasing exceptional maturity and confidence. With 7 goals, 5 assists, and responsibility for set-pieces and penalties, he’s becoming an essential FPL asset.

Most owned FPL players in the top 1 million managers

Currently the fourth most-owned player among the top 1 million FPL managers (53.8%, according to the Insight Live tool), his popularity is set to rise further with Chelsea’s favourable fixtures on the horizon.

Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa) - £5.4m

Position: Midfielder Next Fixture: Crystal Palace (H) Projected Points: 4.2

The Villa midfielder has been a delightful surprise, delivering 3 goals and 2 assists. His performances offer exceptional value, and his attacking returns suggest there's more to come.

Erling Haaland (Manchester City) - £15.2m

Position: Forward Next Fixture: Tottenham (H) Projected Points: 8.4 CAPTAIN PICK

Despite a quieter spell over the last six gameweeks, the Norwegian phenomenon remains the league’s top scorer with 12 goals. He also leads in xG (11.7), total shots (56), shots on target (32), and big chances (20). With a projected 8.4 points against a Spurs side struggling with defensive injuries, he is the standout captaincy choice—these numbers are simply too strong to overlook.

Alexander Isak (Newcastle) - £8.5m

Position: Forward Next Fixture: West Ham (H) Projected Points: 6.9

The clinical Swedish forward has been outstanding when fit, delivering 4 goals and 2 assists. His movement and finishing make him a constant threat to opposition defences.

Isak shot map

Despite playing just 764 minutes this season, he leads Newcastle in total shots (26), shots on target (11), and shots in the box (21), as highlighted in the Opta Heatmaps tool.

Raúl Jiménez (Fulham) - £5.8m

Position: Forward Next Fixture: Wolves (H) Projected Points: 5.2

A remarkable revival at Craven Cottage has seen Jiménez net 4 goals while providing 2 assists. Facing his former club, his motivation and current form make him an intriguing option at this price point.
