Do not be delay by Erling Haaland’s first clean in perpetually at Aston Villa final week – he’s nonetheless the very best FPL captain this week.
Bournemouth have defence, however they’re miles higher at house.
Commercial
9 of their 11 targets conceded have been on the street, so you possibly can captain the Norwegian juggernaut with confidence at Etihad Stadium.
It is a good simpler alternative given how Liverpool are taking part in in the mean time – would you’re taking a punt on Mohamed Salah in opposition to an Aston Villa defence that simply saved Haaland at bay?
I would not.
The staff of the week is chosen primarily based on present FPL costs to suit inside a £100m price range, as if you happen to had been taking part in a Free Hit.

Keeper and defence
Robin Roefs, Sunderland, £4.7m, keeper – Everton (h)
You’ll be able to’t ignore Sunderland’s wonderful begin to the season, significantly their defence.
Roefs is the top-scoring keeper already – due to 4 clear sheets and a penalty save – and faces an Everton facet that has scored simply thrice of their previous six video games.
Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland, £4.1m – Everton (h)
If you happen to’re backing Sunderland’s defence, why not go all in with the double-up.
I picked Omar Alderete over Mukiele for his or her journey to Chelsea and it was the latter who ended up with 17-point return.
Commercial
There’s little or no to separate the 2 by way of anticipated targets (xG) and anticipated assists (xA). Each nice price range decisions, however Alderete is an damage doubt this week.
Gabriel, £6.5m, and Jurrien Timber, £6.1m, each Arsenal – Burnley (a)
How are you going to keep away from having at the very least certainly one of this pair in your staff in the mean time?
Burnley have discovered their scoring boots, with 5 targets in two video games, however that is Arsenal’s defence.
They final conceded in any competitors on 28 September, a run of 5 successive clear sheets.
Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £5.7m – Brentford (h)
Neglect defensive contribution factors, Munoz is the person to show to if you would like attacking returns out of your defenders.
Commercial
The Colombian has 4 already (one objective, three assists) and it is partly attributable to his place on the pitch – he is successfully a proper winger at instances.
Munoz has had 10 photographs within the field in 9 video games – that’s enormous for a defender.
Brentford have scored in all however one sport, so a clear sheet is not apparent for Palace right here, however that may simply be a bonus for Munoz.
Midfielders
Eberechi Eze, Arsenal, £7.6m – Burnley (a)
This will likely seem like recency bias, given he scored final week, however Eze is rising as a greater choose than Bukayo Saka in the mean time – particularly once you take a £2.4m worth distinction into consideration.
Commercial
Saka – who continues to be a fantastic asset – has began 4 video games since getting back from damage. Eze, although, has outperformed him statistically on this time with extra photographs, photographs heading in the right direction, photographs within the field, assists and a really barely larger xG.
Towards a Burnley defence that has conceded 17 instances, you need an Arsenal attacking asset and Eze is nearly the very best one, particularly if in case you have price range constraints.
Alex Iwobi, Fulham, £6.5m – Wolves (h)
Fulham have not been nice as an FPL staff this season – at the very least from an attacking perspective.
However a house sport in opposition to rock-bottom Wolves is one to assault.
Commercial
Iwobi is the very best punt – three returns to date and he has been concerned in 33% of Fulham’s targets when on the pitch.
Bryan Mbeumo, Manchester United, £8.2m – Nottingham Forest (a)
Mbeumo resides as much as his underlying information, with targets to match his statistics.
The Cameroon ahead has probably the most photographs (23) and photographs heading in the right direction (12) of any midfielder, with solely Salah (19) having extra within the field than his 18.
Forest have misplaced six of their previous eight video games and, whereas they may enhance underneath new boss Sean Dyche, there isn’t any proof of that but.

Strikers
Erling Haaland (captain), Manchester Metropolis, £14.8m – Bournemouth (h)
As talked about above, Brentford have conceded most of their targets away from house so Haaland is a simple begin this week.
Commercial
Jean-Philippe Mateta, Crystal Palace, £7.7m – Brentford (h)
Whereas Haaland has had 37 photographs and an xG of 8.91 in 9 video games, Mateta isn’t far behind and the one participant within the league wherever close to to these numbers.
The French striker has taken 29 photographs and has an xG of seven.8 – the subsequent finest within the league is 4.5 (Brentford’s Thiago).
However whereas most gamers outperform their xG – Haaland has 11 targets from 8.91xG for instance – Mateta has not. He is solely scored 5 to date, suggesting he’ll enhance his objective output.
And Brentford’s defence is backside eight for anticipated targets conceded (xGC).
You adore it when the underlying information comes collectively.
Commercial
Danny Welbeck, Brighton, £6.4m – Leeds (h)
Welbeck is on a kind of scoring runs he has produced prior to now – 5 targets in 4 video games in opposition to powerful opposition.
Leeds, like many groups, have conceded almost double the quantity of targets on the street in comparison with house video games.
Welbeck is affordable, on kind and has an honest fixture. That is FPL gold.
