Mohamed Salah (vice captain), Liverpool, £13.7m – away at Brentford
A first blank since gameweek seven for the Egyptian last time and well done if you followed the advice of this article and chose a different captain.
That choice this week is not as easy – Brentford concede a fair few goals – but he doesn’t have the armband again. You’d expect him to get a return but Palmer, probably, has a tiny bit more upside.
Cole Palmer (captain), Chelsea, £11.4m – home to Wolves
Three 10-pointers in four games is some consistency from Palmer.
Wolves are back to conceding goals – eight in three games- after two clean sheets.
Everything seems aligned for the England man to have a big game and these days if he scores one he is almost a lock for three bonus.
Antoine Semenyo got two returns to Palmer’s one in Bournemouth’s draw with Chelsea on Tuesday but was nowhere near him in the bonus points race.
Phil Foden, Manchester City, £9.2m – away at Ipswich
I wouldn’t say City are back to their best, but Foden showed signs of his old self against Brentford with two goals. Key to him playing better seems to be Kevin de Bruyne starting for City.
Foden has had three big chances in the past two games. De Bruyne has played 10 key passes and created three assists.
Both of them in the starting XI is better for City and FPL managers.
Ismaila Sarr, Crystal Palace, £5.9m – away at West Ham
This one is a tough game to call but early signs are that Graham Potter’s West Ham won’t be super tight at the back.
They have conceded twice in both games under him so Palace will fancy getting themselves on the scoresheet.
If they do then Sarr is so involved in their play at the moment.
In the past five games he has played nine key passes, created four big chances and had six shots on target – all team highs.
Diogo Jota, Liverpool, £7.2m – away at Brentford
Imagine how many goals Jota might score in a season if he could stay fit and start most games.
After an instant impact off the bench against Nottingham Forest on Tuesday, I reckon Jota gets a start at Brentford and, as mentioned above with Salah, it’s a game that is likely to have a few goals.
