Rayan Cherki, Manchester City, £6.6m – Brentford (h) and Crystal Palace (h)
Cherki has become City’s best midfield asset, with Antoine Semenyo’s output drying up in recent weeks.
You might be tempted by Jeremy Doku after his two-goal performance at Everton, and he certainly has explosive potential, but the Belgian only has four goals this season.
Cherki has 12 assists in 18 starts in his debut season and, with two home games this week for a City side chasing goals, he has a more reliable chance of a return.
Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £10.4m – Sunderland (a)
Fernandes is returning every week at the moment and is a must-pick FPL asset.
Ismaila Sarr, Crystal Palace, £6.4m – Everton (h) and Manchester City (a)
Presuming Palace’s first XI play both games in this double gameweek, then Sarr is the pick of the attacking assets.
Only Cole Palmer has a higher xG per 90 minutes than Sarr’s 0.43, and only Bournemouth’s David Brooks has more big chances per 90 minutes than his 0.7.
And when Jean-Philippe Mateta is not on the pitch, Sarr will be on penalties.
Harry Wilson, Fulham, £5.9m – Bournemouth (h)
Wilson has more goals than any other midfielder at home, with eight of his 10 this season at Craven Cottage.
He may have blanked in his last home game, but Bournemouth’s defence on the road is leaky, with only Burnley having conceded more.
