FESTIVE FIX OFFER: Treat yourself to an early Christmas present!
Brighton's budget-friendly shot-stopper gets the nod this week. While clean sheets have been hard to come by for the Seagulls, Verbruggen has been busy between the sticks, amassing 40 saves this season. With a home fixture against Crystal Palace, there's potential for both save points and a possible clean sheet.
Aït-Nouri has been a standout performer for Wolves this season. The attacking full-back has already registered 3 goals and 3 assists, making him excellent value for money.
His Opta heatmap highlights his tendency to push forward, with 115 successful passes in the final third—the second highest among Wolves players. He’s also made 33 entries into the opposition's box, second only to Cunha, who has 99.
With his attacking instincts, Aït-Nouri could play a key role in Wolves' clash against Ipswich Town this gameweek
Saliba has been a rock at the heart of Arsenal's defence this season. With 5 clean sheets and 2 goals to his name, he combines defensive solidity with an attacking threat.
While Liverpool have conceded fewer goals and kept more clean sheets, Arsenal lead the league in expected goals conceded (17.05) and expected clean sheets (6.16), according to Opta Stats Sandbox.
Arsenal's strong home form makes Saliba a top pick for points at both ends of the pitch in their matchup against Everton.
Completing the Arsenal defensive double-up is Timber. While not as prolific in attack as Saliba, he has still scored one goal and leads all Arsenal defenders with 13 attempted assists. His defensive ability is clear, with 4 clean sheets to his name this season.
With a favourable home fixture against Everton, Arsenal's backline could deliver another strong points haul.
The Egyptian King needs no introduction. With 13 goals, 8 assists, and an impressive 151 points this season, Salah is the Algorithm's top choice for captaincy.
He averages a remarkable 9.4 FPL points per home game, according to the Opta Heatmaps feature. With Fulham visiting Anfield, expect attacking returns from Salah once again.
Bournemouth's budget midfield gem has been catching the eye and features in our blog on the Top 5 Differentials for Gameweek 16. With 5 goals and 2 assists, Kluivert offers outstanding value. His xG of 5.57 suggests his output is sustainable, making him a reliable pick.
A home fixture against West Ham presents a great opportunity for him to extend his fine form.
Arsenal's talisman has been in scintillating form, scoring 5 goals.
With 11 assists and 19 big chances created, he is the league's most creative player, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox. This highlights his pivotal role in the Gunners' attack.
Everton's visit to the Emirates could be the perfect opportunity for Saka to deliver another standout performance.
Chelsea's midfield maestro is fresh off an 18-point haul against Spurs last weekend. With 11 goals and 7 assists this season, Palmer has firmly established himself as a 'must-have' for FPL managers.
Over Chelsea’s last five games, as shown in the Match Centre, he leads the team in goals (4), expected goals (4.6), shots on target (12), and attempted assists (12). He’s also second for FPL assists (2), highlighting his all-around attacking threat.
Brentford's visit to Stamford Bridge could provide another opportunity for Palmer to boost his impressive tally.
Newcastle's Swedish striker has been in fine form when fit and available. With 6 goals and 3 assists in just 1,056 minutes across 13 games, Isak’s potential is undeniable. His xG of 5.42 highlights his clinical finishing.
Interestingly, he remains relatively low-owned, with 21.3% of managers overall and just 16.4% in the top million managers as shown in the Insight Live tool. This means owners could enjoy a significant rank boost if he delivers this gameweek. A home fixture against Leicester City could be the perfect stage for Isak to shine.
Nottingham Forest's target man has been a standout surprise this season. With 10 goals to his name, Wood has significantly outperformed his xG of 6.66.
His aerial prowess has been key, with a league-leading 4 headed goals, as highlighted in the Opta Stats Sandbox.
His threat in the air could be crucial against Aston Villa at the City Ground.
Rounding off the attack is Wolves' Brazilian forward. With 7 goals and 3 assists, Cunha has been a consistent performer. His 15 shots on target from 41 attempts show his shooting accuracy. Against Ipswich Town, Cunha could be set for a big haul.
