Despite an excellent start to the season with three goals and an assist in just seven games, Darwin Núñez is being overlooked with an ownership of just 6.7% in FPL but with a match against Leeds who are on a six-game losing streak, tipster Paul believes that could change in gameweek 14.
Forwards
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Erling Haaland | MCI | @LEI | 12.2M | Undisputable #1 asset in FPL this year. Also, the matchup looks good this GW. The only question mark is that he was spotted limping yesterday, so keep your eyes open for any information from Pep in the press conference or, being the first match of the week, maybe some leaked info before the deadline. |
| 2 | Harry Kane | TOT | @BOU | 11.5M | Kane has been very reliable this season, and is second in the league for xG, xGi, and XPts. The matchup also looks good against Bournemouth and is perfect if the team is to bounce after the defeat against Newcastle. |
| 3 | Gabriel Jesus | ARS | vs NFO | 7.2M | Arsenal got the best matchup of the week against Nottingham Forest. Jesus lost a bit of traction from the start of the season, but he was rested in Europa League, and I'm expecting him to do good this GW. If you plan to transfer him, watch out because he is only one yellow card from suspension and also has two tough matchups before the World Cup break. |
| 4 | Aleksandar Mitrović | FUL | vs EVE | 6.5M | Just behind Haaland and Kane with nine goals scored, Mitrovic has been highly impressive this season. He has scored in the last three games and has become the team's talisman. The matchup against Everton, one of the worst teams for xGC in the league, is also good. |
| 5 | Darwin Núñez | LIV | vs LEE | 8.8M | After an excellent start to the season, Leeds began to struggle and have six defeats and two draws in the last eight games. I can see Liverpool score a couple of goals here and a Núñez haul. |
Midfielders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Mohammed Salah | LIV | vs LEE | 12.8M | Salah has been a disappointment this season so far from an FPL point of view. This GW might be the last chance to back him up (especially if Haaland is injured). When Liverpool were beaten by United they came back with a 9-0 win against Bournemouth at Anfield, then when Arsenal beat them, they come back with a win against City at Anfield, now they were beaten by Nottingham Forest and next is Leeds at home, so I can see a big win here and hopefully Salah is involved in it. |
| 2 | Phil Foden | MCI | @LEI | 8.5M | The best Manchester City player in FPL after Haaland, he is in superb form this season and is tipped to start against Leicester City after being rested against Brighton last week. |
| 3 | Bukayo Saka | ARS | vs NFO | 8M | Back to his old form, Saka looks like the most dangerous Arsenal attacker. Plus, he is on penalties and has a great matchup this GW. |
| 4 | Kevin De Bruyne | MCI | @LEI | 12.3M | |
| 5 | Son Heung-min | TOT | @BOU | 11.7M | He is not having his best season, but there is always a haul in him, and the game against Bournemouth seems to fit him and Spurs perfectly. |
Defenders
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Trent Alexander-Arnold | LIV | vs LEE | 7.2M | Not the season we are expecting from a 7.5 defender, but this GW, he can get a cleansheet and possibly some attacking returns. If Haaland is out, TAA and Darwin are my favourites for a captain punt. |
| 2 | João Cancelo | MCI | @LEI | 7.4M | |
| 3 | Ivan Perišić | TOT | @BOU | 5.5M | If he can get into the starting 11, he can get a double-digit return against the worst attacking team in the league. |
| 4 | William Saliba | ARS | vs NFO | 5.2M | |
| 5 | Kieran Trippier | NEW | vs AVL | 5.8M | Newcastle have the best defence in the league with only 10 goals against, and Trippier is the standout FPL pick from the club as he tops the FPL points rankings between all defenders and he is also on free kicks and corners. |
Goalkeepers
| Rank | Name | Team | Opponent | Value | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Alisson Becker | LIV | vs LEE | 5.4M | In the last two home games, he has scored 14 and 15 points. He had a cleansheet, three bonus points, at least three saves, and an assist each time. |
| 2 | Aaron Ramsdale | ARS | vs NFO | 4.9M | |
| 3 | Hugo Lloris | TOT | @BOU | 5.5M | Lloris has a matchup against the worst attacking team in the league. |
| 4 | Vicente Guaita | CRY | vs WOL | 4.5M | I like the matchup. Guaita can keep a cleansheet and add some saves to his points tally here. |
| 5 | Nick Pope | NEW | vs AVL | 5.3M |
