Goalkeeper: David Raya at 4.9 is fairly cheap option for a top 3 goalkeeper with his next 4 fixtures against sides that are mainly in the bottom half.

Defender: Trent Alexender-Arnold continues to shine with fantastic passing, assists and by getting in to many areas of the pitch increasing his chances of delivering attacking returns (is playing in midfield at times).

Defender: Kieran Trippier offers attacking potential as well as clean sheets, and with not many clean sheets around in the Premier League around at present (broadly speaking), a defender on set pieces may be appealing.

Defender: Pedro Porro still remains one of the most attacking full backs in the league, only Kieran Trippier has more assists than the Spaniard in terms of defenders in 2023/24 – the former Girona player is one of two former Sporting players to make the XI for GW19 – a really physically imposing and direct option.

Midfielder: Mohamed Salah remains the highest points scoring midfielder in FPL this campaign, still has a creative side to his game in terms of assists (this calendar year) and continues to be the highest goal scoring midfielder in FPL in 2023/24 – Burnley have conceded 36 goals in 18 Premier League matches this campaign.

Midfielder: Cole Palmer is already in double figures for attacking returns FPL this season, at around the 5.5 price range (currently at 5.6 according to the official FPL website).

Midfielder: Bruno Fernandes joins the XI as one of several players with a home fixture, the Portuguese international undoubtedly is a technically gifted player and offers a threat from a semi number 10/attacking midfield position with pace and direct runs ahead of him with the likes of Garnarcho making runs in behind to aim at – the former Sporting player is could get some joy when Villa leave space in behind (somewhat unsettled defence and with midfielder Boubacar Kamara out through suspension). Also, Bruno Fernandes has a xA (Total) of 5.34 – 2nd of all midfielders – according to official FPL (website).

Midfielder: Norway midfielder Martin Ødegaard (VC) is quietly shining for Arsenal, and as a number 10 of sorts he is offering creativity at a reasonable price in FPL (has a goal in him by making late runs in the area on occasion) – faces a West Ham United side that has conceded 20 goals away from home in the Premier League in 2023/24 – and is set piece taker.

Midfielder: Son Heung-min in the here and now is a threat and has 4 attacking returns in his previous 3 league matches (may well be available for GW19 & GW20) – 7 goals scored away from home in the Premier League this season and faces a Brighton side that is likely leave space in behind for the South Korean international to utilise at the Amex (15 attacking returns this campaign) – Brighton are fantastic going forward but have conceded 31 goals in 18 Premier League matches in 2023/24.

Forward: Dominic Solanke (captain) is on fire in a fairly free scoring reborn Bournemouth side with a home fixture against a Fulham side that has conceded in 3 or more in numerous matches this season – 31 goals conceded in 18 Premier League matches in 2023/23 – Bournemouth’s focal point in a creative goal scoring team and the former Liverpool forward will be full of confidence after scoring a hat-trick against Nottingham Forest (2-3).

Forward: Cameron Archer offers a budget option as Sheffield United’s fixtures are turning for the better, Archer at 4.6 reads well for minutes as a bit of punt after scoring against his former club in GW18 and may be a possible enabler to free up funds for more attacking options in midfield or for ultra attacking defenders.

Bench/Subs:-

Goalkeeper: Martin Dubravka is cheap as they come for playing goalkeepers in FPL (option to start in some GWS)

Forward: Fulham forward Muniz may see his minutes improve given the suspension of Mexico forward Raúl Jiménez

Defender: Robinson offers a cheap bench option as a regular starter for Fulham

Defenfer: Aît-Nouri is fit again, could be a starter occasionally depending on fixtures/circumstances

Watch list:-

Vitalii Mykolenko, Michael Olise, Julián Álvarez, Christopher Nkunku

News just in.

There has been a few changes made to the XI.

Palmer picked up a 5th yellow against Wolves (1-2) and is now unavailable for GW19.

Luckily chaos is embraced here.

Midfielder: Dwight McNeil is looking sharp and is a free swing pick as he continues to making driving runs in wide areas, is quietly going up in terms of underlying numbers and can get behind full backs with his frantic pace – 4.94 for xGI (Total), 1202 minutes played and is playing for an Everton side that is getting at teams home and away.

This is organised chaos.
