Alisson Becker: The Midweek Hero

  • Position: Goalkeeper
  • Cost: £5.5m
  • Fixture: Southampton (H)
  • Predicted Points: 5.0

Fresh off the back of an unbelievable performance in the Champions League against PSG, Brazil's number one is also the Algorithm's top pick this week.

With 9 clean sheets and 87 points in 20 games this season, Alisson's reliability between the sticks is unquestionable.

The 32-year-old faces Southampton at home—a team that, as shown in the Opta Stats Sandbox, has scored the joint-fewest away goals (10), level with Everton, who have played one fewer game.

Our Predicted Points & Stats tool gives Liverpool a 60% chance of keeping a clean sheet, the highest of any team this gameweek.

Trent Alexander-Arnold: Liverpool's Form Fullback

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £7.4m
  • Fixture: Southampton (H)
  • Predicted Points: 6.1

The 26-year-old England international has been in outstanding form. Since Gameweek 22, he has scored 1 goal, provided 2 FPL assists, and kept 5 clean sheets, averaging 6 points per game, as shown in the Opta Heatmaps tool.

Now the top-scoring defender in FPL with 133 points, Alexander-Arnold has a great chance to deliver at both ends of the pitch against a struggling Southampton side..

Marc Guéhi: Palace's Defensive Rock

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £4.6m
  • Fixture: Ipswich Town (H)
  • Predicted Points: 4.8

The 24-year-old English centre-back has been a consistent performer for Crystal Palace. With 3 goals and 8 clean sheets to his name, Guéhi offers both defensive stability and a threat from set-pieces. A home fixture against Ipswich Town could see him add to his impressive stats.

Daniel Muñoz: Palace's Trigger Happy Defender

  • Position: Defender
  • Cost: £5.0m
  • Fixture: Ipswich Town (H)
  • Predicted Points: 5.2

The Colombian right-back has been a standout performer for Crystal Palace this season. With 3 goals, 5 assists, and 8 clean sheets, he provides strong attacking threat from defence.

His Opta Shotmap shows he has registered 13 shots on target—the most of any defender in the league—highlighting his eagerness to get forward.

Mohamed Salah: The Egyptian King

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £13.8m
  • Fixture: Southampton (H)
  • Predicted Points: 11.4

Liverpool's talisman continues to dominate FPL. With 25 goals and 17 assists this season, Salah's form has been nothing short of phenomenal. It’s no surprise that the Algorithm has handed him the captain’s armband this week.k.

Christopher Nkunku: Chelsea's French Flair

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £5.7m
  • Fixture: Leicester City (H)
  • Predicted Points: 6.2

Despite limited minutes this season, the French international has shown flashes of brilliance. With 3 goals and 2 assists in just 697 minutes, his potential is clear—and with N. Jackson out injured, he now has the opportunity to prove it.

A home fixture against Leicester could be the perfect stage for him to shine, earning him another spot in the Top 5 Differentials article.

Eberechi Eze: Palace's Underperformer

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £6.7m
  • Fixture: Ipswich Town (H)
  • Predicted Points: 6.0

The 26-year-old English playmaker has had a quieter season than expected. With 2 goals, 6 assists, and 9 big chances created, it hasn’t been a complete write-off, but his finishing has let him down.

A deeper look using the Custom Stats Builder tool highlights just how frustrating his season has been.

Eze has scored only 2 goals from an xG of 6.49, making him the league’s third-biggest xG underperformer. His shortfall of 4.5 goals is only exceeded by Semenyo (4.9) and Garnacho (4.6).

A home fixture against a struggling Ipswich side could be the perfect opportunity for him to start regressing to the mean of his underlying stats.

Cole Palmer: Chelsea's Frustrater

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £11.1m
  • Fixture: Leicester City (H)
  • Predicted Points: 8.3

The 22-year-old Englishman has been a source of frustration for FPL owners in recent weeks. Many captained him last time out, only to see him blank despite strong underlying stats.

At the time of writing, he is the fourth most-sold player this week, with nearly 200,000 managers moving him on, according to the Transfer Analytics tool. However, with 14 goals, 8 assists, and 16 big chances created, Palmer has the potential to return to his earlier-season form in an instant.

A home fixture against Leicester could be the perfect chance for him to do just that.

Bryan Mbeumo: A Must-Have Midfielder

  • Position: Midfielder
  • Cost: £8.0m
  • Fixture: Aston Villa (H)
  • Predicted Points: 5.9

Bryan Mbeumo has been a standout performer for Brentford this season, delivering 15 goals and 5 assists.

His consistency has earned him a spot in the Consensus XI, a squad built from the combined selections of Elite XI: Team Reveal managers—who boast 83 top 10k finishes between them. With ownership exceeding 70% among these elite managers, Mbeumo is proving to be a popular and reliable FPL asset.

Yoane Wissa: A Smart Forward Pick

  • Position: Forward
  • Cost: £6.4m
  • Fixture: Aston Villa (H)
  • Predicted Points: 5.6

Yoane Wissa has been a key player for Brentford this season, scoring 12 goals and providing 3 assists.

Ollie Watkins: A Reliable Forward Option

  • Position: Forward
  • Cost: £8.9m
  • Fixture: Brentford (A)
  • Predicted Points: 4.3

Ollie Watkins has been in fine form for Aston Villa, scoring 12 goals and providing 6 assists this season. His 14.62 xG highlight his scoring potential, suggesting he could have had even more returns.
