Against <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/aston-villa-club-news-analysis-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aston Villa<\/a>, he has both offensive and defensive potential.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9e525177\/Aaron-Wan-Bissaka?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Aaron Wan-Bissaka<\/a> has been a great signing for Manchester United this season. He has the tendency to pick up bonus points as well.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/d557d734\/Matt-Doherty?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Matt Doherty<\/a> scored against Arsenal in this fixture last season. <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/wolves-club-analysis-news-fixtures\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Wolves<\/a> will be playing after a week. Will a fresh Wolves side be too strong for the Gunners?<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/282f75f3\/Lewis-Dunk?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Lewis Dunk<\/a> could rack up a big score if <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/brighton-hove-albion\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> can keep a clean sheet at Carrow Road.<\/p>\n<p>Burnley defenders are also worth a shout. <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8df7a2fb\/Ben-Mee?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ben Mee<\/a> has picked up a massive 23 points in the last two matches so could also be worth a punt.<\/p>\n<h3>Midfielders<\/h3>\n<p>It is a difficult week to pick midfielders. There are just so many great options to pick from. Choosing the right ones will be tricky.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial\u00a0<\/a>are the top choices this week. They are facing relegation-threatened teams at home. Bournemouth and Aston Villa are both struggling and have leaky defences. In fact, the Cherries lost 1-4 at home to Newcastle United in the last match. So, the premium midfielders will be relishing their chances. The only worry here is whether any of those players get rested or not.<\/p>\n<p>Chelsea also have a good-looking fixture at home to Watford. Willian, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/1bf33a9a\/Christian-Pulisic?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Christian Pulisic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/9674002f\/Mason-Mount?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mason Mount<\/a> are all decent options. However, Chelsea have played quite a few matches recently and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/268df6b1\/Frank-Lampard?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Frank Lampard<\/a> could be forced to rotate. The Hornets, on the other hand, will be playing after almost a week. Could they dent Chelsea&#8217;s champions league hopes?<\/p>\n<p>Manchester City also have a nice away fixture at Southampton this week. The Saints have a terrible home record. However, it will be near impossible to predict <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b21fe2db\/Pep-Guardiola?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Pep Guardiola<\/a>&#8216;s starting XI once again. Kevin de Bruyne and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/892d5bb1\/Riyad-Mahrez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Riyad Mahrez<\/a> are the best options on paper.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2b16cb1a\/Allan-Saint-Maximin?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allan Saint-Maximin<\/a> is in superb form and faces <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonfootball.com\/clubs\/west-ham\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">West Ham United<\/a> at home. Will the king of dribbles perform well again for the Magpies?<\/p>\n<h3>Strikers<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/a1d5bd30\/Marcus-Rashford?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Marcus Rashford<\/a> should fancy his chances against Bournemouth. He is playing out wide but that should not stop him from netting a goal or more.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal have managed to win three matches in a row in all competitions. However, their leaky defence should provide <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b561db50\/Raul-Jimenez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez<\/a> with a few opportunities to score.<\/p>\n<p>Neal Maupay will be looking to take full advantage of Norwich City&#8217;s leaky defence. The seagulls can move further away from the relegation zone with a win at Carrow Road. Maupay has a great chance to help his team achieve safety.<\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League Captaincy Picks<\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial<\/a><\/p>\n<h3>Fantasy Premier League Top Picks<\/h3>\n<ol>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/search\/search.fcgi?pid=507c7bdf,9227838e&amp;search=Bruno+Fernandes&amp;utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Bruno Fernandes<\/a> (\u00a38.8)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/e342ad68\/Mohamed-Salah?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Mohamed Salah<\/a> (\u00a312.6)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/c691bfe2\/Sadio-Mane?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Sadio Mane<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a312.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/cd1acf9d\/Trent-Alexander-Arnold?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Trent Alexander-Arnold<\/a>\u00a0(\u00a37.8)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/8b788c01\/Anthony-Martial?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Anthony Martial<\/a> (\u00a38.2)<\/li>\n<li>Willian (\u00a37.1)<\/li>\n<li>Neil Maupay (\u00a35.7)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/2b16cb1a\/Allan-Saint-Maximin?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Allan Saint-Maximin<\/a> (\u00a35.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/892d5bb1\/Riyad-Mahrez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Riyad Mahrez<\/a> (\u00a38.5)<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/fbref.com\/en\/players\/b561db50\/Raul-Jimenez?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Ra\u00fal Jim\u00e9nez<\/a> (\u00a38.3)<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Main Photo<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"DoRzKWlOQX5KzpJRFPzs_g\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1253499761\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'DoRzKWlOQX5KzpJRFPzs_g',sig:'v6_uRz1Iu96dqUcI-C49cjRDi1jNPscTorztDgeWlbM=',w:'568px',h:'594px',items:'1253499761',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fantasy Premier League Gameweek 33+ starts in just a couple of days, with a full set of fixtures this weekend.
