5. Dominic Solanke / Bournemouth / 6.5 / 4.7% (ownership)

6th for strikers for xGI (Total) – 7 attacking returns in 12 league matches in 2023/24 – and reads well for minutes this season.

6. Son Heung-min / Tottenham / 9.7 / 40.5% (ownership)

8 league goals in 2023/24 – may be bolstered by Pedro Perro’s attacking runs outwide/potential spaces left in behind by Aston Villa if they choose to be adventurous against a Spurs side with a somewhat patched up defence.

7. Jarrod Bowen (fitness permiting) / West Ham United / 7.7 / 28.8% (ownership)

• Has scored in every away match in the Premier League in 2023/24

Morgan Gibbs-White has completed 90 minutes in 10 of 12 league matches in 2023/34 – xGI (Total) is 3.12 – one of the highest ranked midfielders of those who play for teams in the bottom half or priced 6.0 or less – has a home fixture against a Brighton side (with injuries/doubts in defence) that has conceded in every league match this campaign.
