Captain Semenyo and go big in defence - FPL team of week

"If City are without the Norway striker then that 15m or so is going to burn a hole in FPL managers' pockets. The three big-money midfielders - Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer and Bukayo Saka - have all underwhelmed this season, so who would you move the cash to?"

"An absolute stormer with returns from eight players including captain Bruno Fernandes (26 points), Hugo Ekitike (15) and Harry Wilson (12). That led to a fantastic 88 points."

"Only four players have outscored Gabriel in FPL this season and one of them, Haaland, is potentially injured. Arsenal's corner prowess means Gabriel is pretty much a set-and-forget, although more than 50% of FPL managers still don't own him!"

"The Dutchman now has 35 points in his past three games and Liverpool are on a roll as they chase a Champions League spot. A good shout this week, despite Wolves' continuous improvement."

Erling Haaland's potential injury creates uncertainty for Fantasy Premier League managers holding his 15m budget. Premium midfielders Mohamed Salah, Cole Palmer, and Bukayo Saka have underperformed this season, leaving managers seeking alternative investments. This week's team of the week demonstrates strong returns with eight players scoring points, led by captain Bruno Fernandes with 26 points, achieving 88 total points. Recommended players include Gianluigi Donnarumma for Manchester City's defensive strength, Nico O'Reilly for his attacking potential from midfield, Gabriel for Arsenal's consistent performance and set-piece threat, and Virgil van Dijk for Liverpool's recent form. These selections balance defensive stability with attacking potential within budget constraints.
