Since the international break, Manchester City has been a defensive powerhouse in the Premier League, securing three clean sheets in just five matches. They’ve conceded a mere three goals and only allowed eight big chances during this period.

Josko Gvardiol stands out as a prime pick from the Manchester City defence, boasting an impressive five goals this season. Notably, he scored one of those in the earlier encounter against Wolves, where City emerged victorious with a 2-1 scoreline.

Wolves will pose an intriguing challenge this time around, having clinched five consecutive league wins, with forwards Matheus Cunha and Jorgen Strand Larsen in excellent form. Nevertheless, bookmakers still view City as strong candidates for a clean sheet in this upcoming fixture on Friday.

As for Mohamed Salah, he remains the top choice for this gameweek and the go-to captaincy pick. The Egyptian winger is enjoying an extraordinary fantasy season, with a remarkable 46 goal contributions from 34 appearances.

Despite a slight dip in form after the international break—scoring once and assisting once over his last five matches—managers shouldn’t be alarmed. With the title secured, Liverpool will be looking to express themselves on the pitch and potentially break a few records along the way.

Salah’s record against this opponent is impressive, having previously registered a goal and an assist in their earlier encounter, earning a solid 12 points. This season, he’s accumulated 17 double-digit hauls—a figure he’ll aim to add to in the final four matches.

Alexander Isak continues to be a judicious investment for fantasy managers as Newcastle head to Brighton, having clinched five wins from their last six league matches. During this span, they have netted 18 goals, with Isak contributing three goals and one assist.

That elevates his total to a remarkable 28 goal involvements this season, comprised of 22 goals and six assists. Over the last five gameweeks, he has created nine big chances—three more than any other player in the division—justifying his status as the most popular forward in FPL.

Newcastle remains highly driven as they pursue Champions League qualification for the coming season. Isak also takes penalties, providing further avenues for points, especially with tiring Arsenal and Chelsea teams on the horizon in upcoming fixtures.

Brentford is poised to take full advantage when they face Manchester United this weekend, with United’s focus likely centred on their Europa League semi-final. Ruben Amorim may again opt for a rotation strategy during this match.

The Bees are enjoying solid form, recently securing draws against both Chelsea and Arsenal, alongside an impressive 4-2 victory over Brighton at home. Striker Yoane Wissa has been pivotal during this stretch, contributing two goals and one assist.

Currently, he has tallied 20 goal involvements for the season, comprised of 15 goals and five assists. Notably, Manchester United has managed just one clean sheet in their last five matches, conceding seven goals during this time.
