As Fantasy Premier League managers prepare for Gameweek 22, a midweek fixtures gameweek, they face the challenge of navigating through a round without some key players.
This guide provides insights into players who could make a difference in your FPL team's performance.
In goal, Ederson (Manchester City) remains a solid choice, especially with a home game against Burnley. Bernd Leno (Fulham) and David Raya (Arsenal) are also strong options, with both keepers representing teams that have shown defensive resilience lately.
Defensively, Kyle Walker (Manchester City) and Gabriel (Arsenal) are strong options due to their teams' likelihood of clean sheets. Pedro Porro (Tottenham) and Pervis Estupiñán (Brighton) offer potential for both defensive points and attacking returns. Tyrick Mitchell (Crystal Palace) is another viable choice, considering Palace need of points.
The midfield line-up is without Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) and Son Heung-min (Tottenham) who are unavailable due to injury and international duty, respectively. This shifts focus to players like Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Phil Foden (Manchester City) and Pascal Groß (Brighton) all of whom have been consistent performers. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) and Richarlison (Tottenham) also present strong options, with their potential for goals and assists in their respective fixtures. The Arsenal gem is also on penalties.
In the forward line, Erling Haaland (Manchester City) is a doubt, making Julian Alvarez (Manchester City) a potential starting striker and a smart pick for this gameweek. João Pedro (Brighton) is in hot form, especially after his impressive performance in the FA Cup, and could be a valuable asset. Dominick Solanke (Bournemouth) continues to be a reliable option, and the revival of Ivan Toney (Brentford) should be on the radar of FPL managers, particularly with a double gameweek in round 25.
In summary, Gameweek 22 presents a mix of reliable options and potential differentials across all positions. Managers will need to adapt to the absence of key players like Salah and Son, looking instead to other talents who can step up during this period.
Balancing the team with a combination of consistent performers and players who could provide a surprise boost in points will be key. As always, staying updated with the latest player news is crucial for making the best decisions for your FPL lineup. Good luck to all managers in navigating through this midweek fixtures gameweek!
