FESTIVE FIX OFFER: Treat yourself to an early Christmas present!
Manchester United's goalkeeper, André Onana, has been a polarising figure this season. However, the Algorithm highlights his potential for the upcoming gameweek.
With 67 points, he is currently the top-scoring goalkeeper, boasting six clean sheets—tied with Raya and Pickford, according to the Opta Stats Sandbox tool.
Onana has also made 41 saves, showcasing his shot-stopping skills. A home fixture against Bournemouth offers a promising opportunity for another clean sheet.
Fulham's left-back, Antonee Robinson, has been a standout performer this season. His attacking potential is clear, with six FPL assists—the most by any defender in the Premier League—highlighting his contributions at both ends of the pitch.

A favourable home fixture against Southampton presents a strong opportunity for both defensive and attacking returns.
Manchester United's versatile defender, Diogo Dalot, has been a consistent figure in their backline. Since Gameweek 12, when Ruben Amorim took over as manager, Dalot has played the full 90 minutes in every match and frequently advanced into attacking positions, as highlighted by his Opta Heatmap.
During this period, he has entered the opposition's penalty area 18 times—second only to Bruno Fernandes, who leads with 28.
With five clean sheets, Dalot provides a solid defensive option. His attacking potential is also notable, with three big chances created and one FPL assist. Given his xG of 1.15 and two big chances, it could be argued he's been unlucky not to score.
Chelsea's young defender, Levi Colwill, has established himself as a regular starter this season. Although his attacking returns have been limited, his affordable price and a 40% chance of a clean sheet—according to the Predicted Points & Stats tool—make him a compelling option.
The Egyptian King, Mohamed Salah, needs no introduction. He has been in sensational form this season, amassing 156 points—28 ahead of second-placed Palmer—with 13 goals and 9 assists.
While an away fixture at Tottenham might appear challenging, their defensive injuries and recent four-goal concession at home to Chelsea suggest vulnerabilities. Salah's consistency makes him the Algorithm's top choice for captaincy this gameweek.
Fulham's midfield dynamo, Alex Iwobi, has been quietly impressive this season. Over the last five games, he has been Fulham's standout performer, scoring the most goals (3), registering the highest xG (1.3), and recording the most shots on target (6).
Additionally, he has contributed 1 FPL assist and attempted the second-most assists, as highlighted by the Match Centre feature. A home fixture against Southampton offers a strong opportunity for Iwobi to continue his excellent form.
Palmer has racked up 128 points with 11 goals and 7 assists. His underlying stats are equally impressive, with an xG of 9.83 and xA of 6.33. The Algorithm fancies Palmer to continue his fine form against Everton with 6.1 projected points.
Brentford's attacking midfielder, Bryan Mbeumo, seems to have rediscovered his FPL points-scoring form after a recent dip.
GW10-14: 3 points per game

GW15-16: 11.5 points per game
Who sold Mbeumo from their #FPL team right before Gameweek 15? Hands up! 🙋♂️ pic.twitter.com/6J8xZhcg5Z
With 10 goals and 2 assists this season, he offers excellent value. Only Saka (105), Palmer (128), and Salah (156) have outscored his 100 FPL points so far.
A home fixture against Nottingham Forest presents a strong opportunity for Mbeumo to add to his impressive tally.
Fulham's striker, Raúl Jiménez, has been steadily finding his form this season. With 5 goals and 2 assists in just 974 minutes of play, he offers excellent value at his price point.
His underlying stats are equally impressive, with an xG of 5.53 and xA of 2.89, indicating that his returns are sustainable. Jiménez has registered 15 shots on target and created 5 big chances, showcasing his all-round attacking threat.
He has averaged 4.5 points per game at home this season, as highlighted by the Opta Heatmaps tool. A home fixture against Southampton presents a great opportunity for him to add to his goal tally.
Brentford's forward, Yoane Wissa, has been in excellent form this season, scoring 8 goals in just 13 games. With an xG of 5.95, his finishing has been clinical—though some might argue it may not be sustainable.
However, a home fixture against Nottingham Forest offers a prime opportunity for Wissa to add to his tally. Brentford have averaged an impressive 3.25 goals per game at home this season—the highest in the league—according to the Opta Stats Sandbox.
Despite only 4 attacking returns since Gameweek 6, the Norwegian goal machine, Erling Haaland, completes our Algorithm XI.
Although his recent form has been below par, Haaland still boasts 13 goals and an xG of 14.11. His 38 shots on target and 25 big chances are the most in the league.
Even in an away fixture at Aston Villa, Haaland has the potential to rediscover the form he displayed at the start of the season.
Here’s the full Fantasy Premier League team in the Future Planner tool, selected using the Fantasy Football Fix algorithm.
