Goalkeeper and Defence

• Bernd Leno (Fulham) - £5m: Facing Leeds, who have struggled offensively, Leno is a prime candidate for a clean sheet.
• Daniel Munoz (Crystal Palace) - £5.5m: With consistent returns and a favorable matchup against Sunderland, Munoz is a solid defensive pick.
• Riccardo Califiori (Arsenal) - £5.7m: Califiori’s attacking threat from left-back makes him a valuable asset against Nottingham Forest.
• Jurrien Timber (Arsenal) - £5.6m: Another Arsenal defender with high potential, Timber joins Califiori in a strong double defence.

Midfield

• Florian Wirtz (Liverpool) - £8.4m: Despite a slow start, Wirtz’s underlying stats suggest a breakout game against Burnley.
• Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - £14.5m (Captain): Salah’s matchup against Burnley’s leaky defence makes him an easy captain choice.
• Jack Grealish (Everton) - £6.7m: Grealish’s recent form and underlying data indicate he’s a bargain at his price.
• Anthony Elanga (Newcastle) - £7m: Targeting Wolves’ weak right flank, Elanga is a promising pick for this gameweek.

Strikers

• Yoane Wissa (Newcastle) - £7.5m: Wissa’s debut against Wolves’ poor defence could yield significant points.
• Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) - £7.5m: With Eze gone, Mateta could emerge as Palace’s main scoring threat.
• Rodrigo Muniz (Fulham) - £5.5m: Muniz’s efficiency in front of goal makes him a smart choice against Leeds.

Subs’ Bench

• Martin Dubravka (Burnley) - £4m: A budget-friendly keeper option.
• Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (Everton) - £5m: A low-cost midfielder with potential.
• Igor Thiago (Brentford) - £6m: A budget striker option for Chelsea’s game.
• Reinildo (Sunderland) - £4m: A cheap defensive pick for Crystal Palace’s game.

Team Total: £97.9m
