Best Midfielder: Bruno Fernandes vs Newcastle United (A) - 5.6 predicted points
Bruno Fernandes is in sensational form in the Michael Carrick era, involved in both goals in the 2-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday for a 13-point haul. Over 700,000 managers who backed Erling Haaland for captain benefited from his huge return as vice captain.
He has four double-digit hauls in the last seven gameweeks, a period in which his side are unbeaten. He’s racked up six goals and two assists in this time, with the only concern being that the hauls have come at Old Trafford. He has two assists in his last four away trips.
He remains top for both key passes (84) and big chances created (20) this season, with 13 fantasy assists. In the last four gameweeks, he sits joint-second for shots (13), but only five of those efforts have hit the target.
Midfield Gem: Iliman Ndiaye vs Burnley (H) - 5.8 predicted points
It comes as a surprise to see Everton’s Iliman Ndiaye rank higher than Fernandes and Antoine Semenyo in terms of predicted points ahead of Gameweek 29, helped by a plum home game against relegation candidates Burnley.
Ndiaye has one goal in the last four gameweeks, taking him to seven goal involvements for the season: five goals and two assists. He is always close to hitting the two-point defensive contribution bonus, averaging 10.75 actions per game over the last four.
Best Forward: Hugo Ekitike vs Wolves (A) - 6.1 predicted points
It’s Liverpool’s Hugo Ekitike who leads the captaincy race, topping the AI predictions on 6.1 points for the trip to bottom of the league Wolves. Notably, he edges out team-mate Mohamed Salah at the top of the rankings by just 0.1 predicted points.
The French striker dazzled with his biggest haul of the season in Liverpool’s 5-2 win against West Ham on Saturday afternoon, with one goal and two assists. He’s now on 15 goal involvements for the campaign: 11 goals and four assists.
He’s leading the popularity charts in terms of captaincy for this fixture, while there’s also plenty of transfer traffic for Ekitike in the replacement of Erling Haaland. Liverpool won the reverse fixture 2-1, with Ekitike grabbing an assist in that fixture.
Forward Gem: Dominic Calvert-Lewis vs Sunderland (H) - 5.1 predicted points
Leeds United striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin could be worth a look with his side having a home game against fellow promoted side Sunderland at Elland Road on Tuesday evening. It’s set to be a big fixture under the lights for both sides.
He has one goal in the last four gameweeks, with a tally of ten goals and two assists for the campaign. The reverse of this fixture ended in a 1-1 draw, with Calvert-Lewin on the scoresheet in that game. He’s a significant differential in 9.3% of sides.
