A core of players with favourable fixtures in GW24 feature, as well as having a double GW next time out (DGW25) with Liverpool, Luton Town, Manchester City and Brentford playing twice in DGW25.

Erling Haaland as the league’s top goal scorer has the armband this week as the Norway international has a home fixture for the top goal scoring team in the Premier League in 2023/24.

Triple Manchester City attack (Erling Haaland, Kevin De Bruyne and Phil Foden) leads the way, as hinted City have huge attacking potential given that Pep Guardiola’s side have scored 54 goals in 22 Premier League matches in 2023/24.

Hat-hero Phil Foden from GW23 joins Cole Palmer as two hugely in form English midfielders to feature in this week’s XI.

Kevin De Bruyne continues his form, having returned in every Premier League match since returning from injury.

Diogo Jota has 13 attacking returns in FPL in 2023/24 (17 appearances) has a sharpness in front of goal and did score against Burnley in the reverse fixture.

Ivan Toney offers a set piece taking option with a DGW next week, and with 3 attacking returns in 3 Premier League matches since returning to first team action (Wolves have conceded 18 goals in 11 matches at home in the Premier League in 2023/24).

Elijah Adebayo goes in to GW24 after scoring in back to back Premier League matches.

Alfie Doughty (set piece taker) offers fantastic value as a cheap option after getting returns in his previous 5 league matches (assists/goals/assists), faces Sheffield United in GW25 and has a DGW in GW25.

Antonee Robinson is a regular starter for Fulham (makes fantastic runs on the overlap).

Fulham could feature ìn GW29 – only 4 defenders have more assists than the USA international this campaign.

This side is somewhat adventurous and yet sensible.

Flexible planning is at play here.

It could be argued that this side consists of a bit of ‘hedging’, with one eye on DGW25 and with a few pound for pound picks.

Trent Alexander-Arnold is likely to play, and has 13 returns (clean sheets, assists or goals) in 20 Premier League appearances this campaign.

Cheap enabling bench options allow funds to potentially transfer in Mohamed Salah or Son Heung-Min in coming weeks (if you were to have a similar set up to this).
