Leandro Trossard has been the standout Brighton & Hove Albion player ever since Graham Potter left, and Tipster Paul believes he is one of the best options to select in FPL with a game against bottom of the table Nottingham Forest in gameweek 12.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Harry Kane | TOT | @MUN | 11.4M | Kane has had the best start to a season in his career, with nine goals in 10 games. He has scored in the last five and is ranked second, just behind Haaland (who has been ridiculous) in every metric that matters. |
| 2 | Callum Wilson | NEW | vs EVE | 7.3M | While not injured, Wilson is one of the best strikers in the league. He looked dangerous and lively against Manchester United, and against Everton, I can definitely see him score and Newcastle win. |
| 3 | Patrick Bamford | LEE | @LEI | 7.2M | |
| 4 | Danny Welbeck | BHA | vs NFO | 6.5M | Welbeck underperformed until now with 0 goals and 2.37 xG. The matchup presents a great opportunity to leverage this out, with Nottingham being one of the worst teams in the league in defense. |
| 5 | Dominic Solanke | BOU | vs SOU | 5.8M | Even though Bournemouth is the worst attacking team in the league and Solanke seems to be currently overperforming, his stats, combined with the matchup and the form he is in lately, might also find him a return this week. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mohammed Salah | LIV | vs WHU | 12.7M | Salah seems to have found his mojo after a rough start to the season. After the hattrick against Rangers, he scored the only goal in the derby against City, and this GW, he looks to be the best captain choice for FPL. |
| 2 | Leandro Trossard | BHA | vs NFO | 6.9M | Trossard is the best Brighton player since De Zerbi took over the manager role. He is not playing LWB anymore and is involved in almost every attack. The matchup this week is really good, and If you need a differential captain, I would choose him. |
| 3 | Raheem Sterling | CHE | @BRE | 9.9M | For me, Sterling has been the best Chelsea attacking asset since Potter joined. Even though Mount scored two goals in the last game, Sterling looked more dangerous and played a more central role. |
| 4 | Son Heung-min | TOT | @MUN | 11.8M | After Richarlison's injury, Son might play higher in the field along with Kane in a 3-5-2 formation. Even though the matchup looks hard on paper, both Son and Kane have quite good stats against Man united in the last few seasons. |
| 5 | Wilfried Zaha | CRY | vs WOL | 7.5M | After a poor game against Leicester, with the World Cup place on the table, Zaha needs to bounce back against one of the worst Wolves sides I have seen in the last few years. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Lewis Dunk | BHA | vs NFO | 4.6M | The best clean sheet chance of the GW, and Dunk is nailed in the Brighton team. Estupinan can be a great choice here, but I m not sure he will start. Being the first game of the week, keep an eye on the starting eleven leaks. |
| 2 | Kieran Trippier | NEW | vs EVE | 5.7M | Newcastle have the best defence in the league with only nine goals conceded, and Trippier is the standout FPL pick as he tops the xA rankings among all league defenders with 1.98 and is also on free kicks and corners. |
| 3 | Trent Alexander-Arnold | LIV | vs WHU | 7.2M | Alexander-Arnold is back from injury and played a couple of minutes against City. Even though he is not in the best form and Liverpool seems to concede every game, his attacking potential involvement and potential points ceiling cannot be overlooked. |
| 4 | Joachim Andersen | CRY | vs WOL | 4.5M | Wolves is one of the worst attacking teams in the league, behind just Bournemouth, and Andersen has the highest xG (1.21) and xA (0.64) from all Palace defenders. |
| 5 | Joël Veltman | BHA | vs NFO | 4.6M |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Robert Sánchez | BHA | vs NFO | 4.7M | Best clean sheet of odds of the week. |
| 2 | Nick Pope | NEW | vs EVE | 5.3M | |
| 3 | Kepa Arrizabalaga | CHE | @BRE | 4.4M | Best value keeper, had an incredible game against Leeds, and has kept a clean sheet in the last four games across all competitions. |
| 4 | Vicente Guaita | CRY | vs WOL | 4.5M | |
| 5 | Alisson Becker | LIV | vs WHU | 5.4M |
