We are now nine weeks into the Premier League season, which means it is really starting to heat up! There are some big matches this weekend, with the most anticipated game being Arsenal vs Liverpool. It’s time now for us to give you our lineup predictions for this weekend’s round of fixtures whilst also giving you some FPL tips!
Leicester vs Nottingham Forest (K.O 8 pm Friday)
Leicester’s predicted lineup
Nottingham Forest’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Facundo Buonanotte (£5.0m) is in excellent form for Leicester as he has two goals and one assist in his last three games. He’s also cheap which makes him a low-risk option. Nottingham Forest striker Chris Wood (£6.3m) has scored five goals this season. He’s scored in both of his last two games, so he’ll be hoping to continue his form into this fixture.
Aston Villa vs Bournemouth (K.O 3 pm Saturday)
Aston Villa’s predicted lineup
Bournemouth’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Ollie Watkins has been in tremendous form as of late as he’s scored five in his last five games. He is expensive at £9.1m, but he’ll delivery you points consistently. From the impressive win against Arsenal last week, Justin Kluivert (£5.3m) performed the best in this fixture. He scored 11 points after grabbing a goal and an assist.
Brentford vs Ipswich (K.O 3 pm Saturday)
Brentford’s predicted lineup
Ipswich’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Brentford’s Ethan Pinnock (£4.5m) has scored two goals in his last two games. As he is a defender, there’s also a lot of potential for clean sheet points in this fixture. Ipswich’s run of upcoming games aren’t against top-level opponents, so it might be time to bring in Arijanet Muric in goal, who starts every week and is priced at just £4.4m
Brighton vs Wolves (K.O 3 pm Saturday)
Brighton’s predicted lineup
Wolves’ predicted lineup
(The missing player in this squad is Andre who doesn’t have an Ultimate Team item)
FPL Tips
With Danny Welbeck potentially out with an injury, Brighton may turn to Georginio Rutter for goals. He’s a midfielder priced at £5.5m which is great value. Wolves have had a really bad start to the season, picking up just one point so far. However, someone who has been popping up with goals is Jorgen Strand Larsen who is priced at £5.5m which is again really cheap.
Manchester City vs Southampton (K.O 3 pm Saturday)
Manchester City’s predicted lineup
Southampton’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
We expect there to be a lot of goals scored in this game, so we recommend you turn to Manchester City attackers. If you already have him, it would be smart to captain Erling Haaland (£15.4m). As for Southampton players, it’s probably best not to bring any in this week.
Everton vs Fulham (K.O 5:30 pm Saturday)
Everton’s predicted lineup
Fulham’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Everton next few games are very appealing to FPL players. If Michael Keane continues to play, It would be smart to bring him in at just £4.2m, especially considering he has scored 20 points in his last two games. Another player who has been scoring highly in FPL as of late is Raul Jimenez (£5.7m) who hasn’t scored less than five points since gameweek three.
Chelsea vs Newcastle (K.O 2 pm Sunday)
Chelsea’s predicted lineup
Newcastle’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Someone who has gone under the radar and is having a great season is Chelsea’s Nicolas Jackson. He has a price of £7.9m and has scored a lot of points so far this season. After going winless in four games, Newcastle have struggled lately. Someone who is always a threat though is Anthony Gordon (£7.3m).
Crystal Palace vs Tottenham (K.O 2 pm Sunday)
Crystal Palace’s predicted lineup
Tottenham’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Crystal Palace have had a really poor start, as they are still yet to win this season. It’s probably best to stay away from Palace assets right now. For Tottenham however, you should be looking towards their attacking players such as Brennan Johnson who’s only £6.7m.
West Ham vs Manchester United (K.O 2 pm Sunday)
West Ham’s predicted lineup
Manchester United’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
The Hammers have also struggled so far this season with only two wins thus far. With Kudus suspended, their best attacking asset may be Michail Antonio (£5.4m). Manchester United are very unpredictable, which makes it hard to understand who they might play. However, after a goal against Brentford in their last fixture, we believe that Rasmus Hojlund (£6.9m) could start up top and provide a goal or two.
Arsenal vs Liverpool (K.O 4:30 pm Sunday)
Arsenal’s predicted lineup
Liverpool’s predicted lineup
FPL Tips
Arsenal are going through quite the injury and suspension crisis right now with a lot of key players potentially missing. They also have a tough next three games, but if we had to recommend an Arsenal player, we can still expect Kai Havertz (£8.2m) to play. With Diogo Jota set to be sidelined, it’s predicted that Darwin Nunez (£7.1m) should start. He may not have scored many this season, but he has featured mostly off the bench. A full 90 may allow him to be involved in more of the goals.
