FPL Tips for the New Season: Team of the Week and Player Picks
FPL owners, rejoice! The international break is finally over, and we can get back to what we love – managing our Fantasy Premier League teams. In this article, we’ll focus on the current FPL tips and team of the week, highlighting the best players to pick for your team.
We’ll begin by talking about the team of the week, which features a mix of in-form players and those who are due a return. This team is based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget, as if you were playing a Free Hit.
Team of the Week: A Crystal Palace and Aston Villa Heavy Selection
The team of the week is selected based on current FPL prices to fit within a £100m budget. This week’s selection is heavy on Crystal Palace and Aston Villa players, with Bruno Fernandes making a long-awaited return. The Manchester United midfielder has been unlucky to have no returns so far this season, but his underlying statistics suggest that’s about to change.
Bruno Fernandes (£8.4m) is a must-pick for your FPL team, given his impressive statistics. He has had eight shots, four in the box, and two big chances, with an xGI of two. Southampton’s defense, which is bottom six for shots conceded, shots in the box conceded, shots on target conceded, expected goals conceded (xGC), and has given up 13 big chances, shouldn’t be able to stop him.
Other notable picks in the team of the week include Mohamed Salah (£12.7m), who is captain over Erling Haaland. Both players could get double-digit returns, but Salah edges it with his goals earning more points as a midfielder. Eberechi Eze (£6.9m) and Joao Pedro (£5.7m) are also included in the team, given their excellent starts to the season.
Players to Pick for Your FPL Team
Now that we’ve covered the team of the week, let’s focus on some other players who could be great picks for your FPL team.
Dean Henderson (£4.5m) is an excellent choice for your goalkeeper slot, given Crystal Palace’s home fixture against Leicester. Palace has a good chance of keeping a clean sheet, and Henderson is a reliable pick.
For your defense, consider Trent Alexander-Arnold (£7m) and Lucas Digne (£4.5m). Alexander-Arnold has been in excellent form, and Liverpool has a good chance of keeping a clean sheet against Nottingham Forest. Digne, on the other hand, has been an impressive early season performer for Aston Villa and is a great choice for your third defender slot.
Midfielders to Watch
When it comes to midfielders, there are several players who could be great picks for your FPL team. Morgan Rogers (£5.1m) is one such player, given his excellent form and Villa’s upcoming fixtures. Abdul Fatawu (£5.5m) is another player who could be a great pick, with Leicester facing Everton, Bournemouth, and Forest at home in their next seven games.
Everton is a great team to target when it comes to budget midfielders, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin (£5.9m) and Vitaliy Mykolenko (£4.4m) being great choices.
Understanding the Salah-Haaland Dilemma
One of the biggest dilemmas in FPL is whether to choose Mohamed Salah (£12.7m) or Erling Haaland (£15.2m) as your captain. Both players are in excellent form and could get double-digit returns. However, Salah edges it with his goals earning more points as a midfielder.
Ultimately, the choice between Salah and Haaland depends on your team’s overall strategy and budget. If you have the funds to afford Haaland, he could be a great pick. However, if you’re on a tight budget, Salah is an excellent alternative.
