Best Midfielder: Cole Palmer v Burnley (H) - 7.4 predicted points
Cole Palmer has been the highest scoring midfielder in the game over the last four gameweeks and justifies his position as the best captain pick according to AI ahead of a home game against 19th placed Burnley.
Palmer has delivered five goals and one assist in his last four league starts, accounting for 60% of his goal involvements in the Premier League this season. His underlying numbers are compelling in this spell, top for shots on target (9) and second for big chances (7).
Chelsea are unbeaten in five consecutive league games, scoring a leading tally of 13 goals in this time. Meanwhile, Burnley’s defence continues to look shaky, conceding ten goals in the same period, the most of any side.
Midfield Gem: Ismaila Sarr v Wolves (H) - 4.9 predicted points
Crystal Palace midfielder Ismaila Sarr has produced two goals in his last four games since returning from the Africa Cup of Nations. This period of absence from FPL saw his ownership fall to less than 5% of sides.
Managers would be wise to reinvest, with the midfielder producing eight shots in the box and four big chances in the last four gameweeks. He has six goal involvements from 16 appearances this season, with bottom-of-the-league Wolves the visitors to Selhurst Park.
Best Forward: Igor Thiago v Brighton (H) - 5.5 predicted points
Erling Haaland’s yellow flag for a knee injury has caused a shake-up in the AI forward rankings for this weekend, with Brentford striker Igor Thiago ascending as the best pick for the home game against Brighton. He has over 100,000 new owners for this fixture.
It spells the start of a more appealing run of fixtures for the Bees, who also face Burnley, Bournemouth, Wolves and Leeds this side of the international break. He was on the scoresheet earlier this season in the reverse fixture against the Seagulls.
Thiago has scored one goal in the last four gameweeks, taking him to an impressive tally of 17 goals for the season from 25 appearances, sitting second in the Golden Boot race behind Erling Haaland with 22 goals.
Forward Gem: Jarrod Bowen v Bournemouth (H) - 5.1 predicted points
It’s been a tough season for West Ham, who currently sit in the relegation spots in the table. However, they’ve taken ten points from their last five league games, which will be a massive boost for their confidence as we approach the business end of the season.
Striker Jarrod Bowen remains the fourth-ranked forward in the game, despite being a big differential in just 8.6% of teams. He has two goals and two assists from the last four gameweeks, taking him up to 12 goal involvements for the campaign.
