FPL gameweek eight tips: Justin Kuivert, Bruno Fernandes and Nick Woltemade make the team

By Total Football News

Antoine Semenyo, Bournemouth, £8.1m – Nottingham Forest (h)

Like Arsenal defence and Erling Haaland, Semenyo is essential at the moment.

For some reason he wasn’t given a second assist at Crystal Palace last week, which would probably have given him some bonus points too.

This match-up against Forest, a team in turmoil who have conceded 15 times in eight games, is not one where you’d want to go against Semenyo.

FPL gameweek six talking point: Erling Haaland triple captain?

By Total Football News

Pras: With the extra set of chips we have been handed for the first half of the season, there is certainly a temptation to use one every week. This is especially true with triple captaincy, where there isn’t much planning involved.

If you own a player who has a great fixture, it’s a chip you can just play on a whim.

There is a framework I try to follow when

FPL gameweek six tips: Captain Erling Haaland and go all in on Manchester City

By Total Football News

Iliman Ndiaye, Everton, £6.5m – West Ham (h)

Taking on a Hammers defence that has conceded a league-high 13 goals, Ndiaye is, just about, the best option from Everton’s great-value midfield trio.

You might prefer Jack Grealish (£6.8m) after his four assists so far, or budget-friendly Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5m), who has taken as many shots as Ndiaye.

But Senegal forward Ndiaye is the biggest goal threat and also on penalties.

FPL gameweek 38 tips: Leandro Trossard, Evanilson and Jacob Murphy make great differential picks

By Total Football News

Bryan Mbeumo (captain), Brentford, £8.2m – Wolves (a)

Mbeumo has six returns in his past five games and would have hauled more if not for a rare penalty miss last week.

He takes on a Wolves side who have conceded seven goals in the previous three games.

At this point, Mbeumo might be the most obvious FPL pick. He’s been involved in 43% of his side’s goals, so feels about

FPl gameweek 36 tips: Captain Erling Haaland, call on Bryan Mbeumo and Kevin de Bruyne in

By Total Football News

Kevin de Bruyne, Manchester City, £9.5m – Southampton (a)

De Bruyne has had two double digit hauls in the past four weeks.

He’s started the past five games, so worries about his fitness should not be an issue and the Belgian only has three league games left in his City career.

If he’s going out with a bang, this game against one of the worst teams in Premier League history

FPL gameweek 35 tips: Captain Bryan Mbeumo, Ollie Watkins and Marco Asensio double-up

By Total Football News

Bryan Mbeumo (captain), Brentford, £8.1m – Manchester United (h)

You don’t need much of a reason to pick Mbeumo, FPL’s second-highest points scorer.

But the situation this week is a dream scenario.

Manchester United are almost certainly going to put out a weakened team, with their focus on the Europa League, and it is not like they have been great.

Mbeumo is in form, he takes penalties, is Brentford’s talisman

FPl gameweek 34 tips: Best Free Hit team, Matheus Cunha captain and Ryan Sessegnon in defence

By Total Football News

Robert Sanchez, Chelsea, keeper, £4.5m – Everton (h)

Visitors Everton only have four goals in their past six games and their 10 big chances is the third lowest in the league.

Trent Alexander-Arnold, Liverpool, £7.2m – Tottenham (h)

This might be one of the last times we can pick maybe the greatest FPL defensive asset of all time – if rumours of a summer move to Real Madrid are true.

FPL gameweek 32 tips: Triple Captain Isak? Bench Boost? Eze or Sarr?

By Total Football News

Kaoru Mitoma, Brighton, £6.5m – Leicester (h)

Backing a forward player against Leicester pays off almost every week and Mitoma is easily Brighton’s most reliable midfielder.

The most shots, shots in the box, on target, key passes, xG, goals – I could go on.

Newcastle’s Murphy had a haul from the flanks against the Foxes, now it is Mitoma’s turn.

Mohamed Salah, Liverpool, £13.8m – West Ham (h)

It is

FPl gameweek 31 tips: Captain Alexander Isak, double up on Bukayo Saka and Gabriel Martinelli

By Total Football News

Emi Martinez, Aston Villa, keeper, £5m – Nottingham Forest (h)

The Argentine kept just his fourth clean sheet of the season in Wednesday’s win at Brighton but he is a differential keeper option for this week and the rest of the season.

Villa face goal-shy Southampton next week before a double in 33.

Forest are not an easy opponent for Villa but they are definitely not as threatening without injured

FPL gameweek 30 tips: Omar Marmoush captain ahead of Mohamed Salah this week

By Total Football News

David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £5.5m – Fulham (h)

Raya has four clean sheets in his past seven and Arsenal have the second-most clean sheets (11) this season. There could be a few clean sheets knocking about this week and this game is one of them.

Josko Gvardiol, Manchester City, £6m – Leicester City (h)

I know City can’t keep a clean sheet this season but surely they will against a
