Defender: Jarrad Branthwaite vs Hull City (A) - 4.6 predicted points

Everton’s defensive assets are on the radar, with centre-back James Tarkowski (£6.2m) attracting plenty of attention in the transfer market as the top-performing defender in the game. His ownership is creeping up to 17%, with one goal and one assist.

His teammate Jarrad Branthwaite (£5.5m) is friendlier on the budget, also hitting the defensive contribution threshold in three of his five appearances. He’s had three shots on goal, including one big chance. Clean sheet potential is high away at Hull City.

Best Midfielder: Bukayo Saka vs Leeds United (H) - 5.4 predicted points

Arsenal are the favourites to take a win and score goals this weekend as they entertain Leeds United at the Emirates, with star man Bukayo Saka among the leading fantasy picks. He comes into this game with three goals from the opening five, in 14.4% of sides.

He has the routes to points given his involvement in set pieces, taking corners from one side and penalties. He’s a popular consideration for captaincy this weekend, with only Bruno Fernandes and Erling Haaland predicted higher than his 5.4 points by AI.

Best Forward: Gonzalo Garcia vs Ipswich Town (A) - 4.1 predicted points

It’s been a rough international break for our forward lines, with Alexander Isak, Brian Brobbey and Kai Havertz joining Joao Pedro in being injury doubts. It’s sparked plenty of interest in Fulham striker Gonzalo Garcia, who currently sits in just 4.4% of teams ahead of Ipswich.
