FPl tips for gameweek seven: Essential Brighton and Chelsea players?

By Total Football News

De Cuyper has been the standout option, but covering the Arsenal defence also looks sensible.

Under Mikel Arteta, they should remain as the league’s best defensive unit, and Riccardo Calafiori (£5.9m) currently looks the strongest route in.

Elsewhere consider your defensive contribution points (defcon) magnets such as Leeds‘ Tarik Muharemovic (£5m), Brighton‘s Luka Vuskovic (£5.1m), Bournemouth‘s Antonio Silva (£5m) and Everton centre-back James Tarkowski (£6.2m).

Not only

FPL gameweek four tips: Sign Cole Palmer or Morgan Rogers or both?

By Total Football News

Chelsea striker Joao Pedro (£7.7m) is the most-owned player in the game, in 72.5% of sides. Given that Chelsea have scored eight goals already this season, and face promoted Hull City at home next, it feels like the right time to be moving towards a double up on their assets.

Cole Palmer (£9.6m) and Morgan Rogers (£7.6m) came on as half-time substitutes in the Carabao Cup against Leeds United on

FPL tips for gameweek 16: Captain Bukayo Saka and go all in on Arsenal v Wolves

By Total Football News

Bukayo Saka (captain), Arsenal, £10.2m – Wolves (h)

This game against Wolves is too juicy to pass up and that makes Saka, Arsenal‘s best attacking player essential.

No stats needed to back this up. Manchester United had 27 shots at Wolves on Monday, scored four and could have had double that.

Arsenal will be licking their lips.

Declan Rice, Arsenal, £7.1m – Wolves (h)

One point behind

FPL gameweek 14 tips: Alexander Isak, Mikel Merino and Bruno Fernandes great picks this week

By Total Football News

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United (captain), £8.9m – West Ham (h)

Fernandes is never a bad call in FPL – it’s just trying to predict his hauls.

The Portugal midfielder has created 35 chances this season, five more than Jeremy Doku and 10 more than anyone else.

His xG of 4.81 is the third highest among midfielders – Antoine Semenyo has 4.82 and has scored six goals compared to the United

FPL gameweek 13 tips: Thiago, Dango Ouattara and Morgan Gibbs-White are great punts this week

By Total Football News

Eberechi Eze, Arsenal, £7.7m – Chelsea (a)

Why not ride the hot hand of London derby hero Eze?

His hat-trick against Spurs was not out of the blue and he makes this team of the week before because of his underlying statistics.

With 31 shots in 11 starts, Eze leads the way among Arsenal players. He had six in the derby alone.

The only note of caution is that he

FPL gameweek 11 tips: Captain Joao Pedro, double Arsenal defence and a Morgan Gibbs-White punt

By Total Football News

Alphonse Areola, West Ham, keeper, £4.3m – Burnley (h)

This team needs a couple of budget options and Frenchman Areola is a decent choice in net.

Nuno Espirito Santo got his first home win as Hammers boss last week and his plan was always to fix the defence first, so you have to hope they keep it tight against Burnley.

Gabriel, £6.6m, and Jurrien Timber, £6.1m, both Arsenal – Sunderland

FPL gameweek 10 tips: Eberechi Eze, Bryan Mbeumo and Daniel Munoz in team of week

By Total Football News

Robin Roefs, Sunderland, £4.7m, keeper – Everton (h)

You can’t ignore Sunderland’s fine start to the season, particularly their defence.

Roefs is the top-scoring keeper already – thanks to four clean sheets and a penalty save – and faces an Everton side that has scored just three times in their past six games.

Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland, £4.1m – Everton (h)

If you’re backing Sunderland’s defence, why not go all in

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 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.
