Fantasy Premier League: The Best Picks & Hidden Gems for the Final Gameweek
The conclusion of the Premier League season brings not only celebration for some but also critical decisions for Fantasy Premier League (FPL) players around the world. As the final points are up for grabs, strategizing wisely can make all the difference.
Mohamed Salah: A Farewell at Anfield
Mohamed Salah is set to play his final match for Liverpool at Anfield, marking the end of a remarkable nine-season journey with the club. Despite a less prolific campaign by his own high standards, delivering 13 goal involvements — seven goals and six assists — he remains a crucial asset for FPL players this Gameweek. His recent return from a hamstring injury saw him feature for just 16 minutes in a 4-2 loss against Aston Villa, while he also scored in a previous 2-1 defeat to Brentford in the reverse fixture. With Liverpool desperate for Champions League qualification, and Brentford aiming for a historic European spot, this game is pivotal for both teams.
Midfield Marvel: Morgan Gibbs-White
In a stellar season, Morgan Gibbs-White of Nottingham Forest has emerged as one of the standout midfielders, boasting ten goals and three assists on his way to becoming the fourth-highest scoring midfielder in FPL. With only 7.5% ownership, he represents a significant differential as he returns from a head injury. His last performance yielded a goal despite a loss to Manchester United. Facing Bournemouth, who are already assured of European competition next season, Gibbs-White could be a valuable addition for those seeking to maximize their points.
Erling Haaland: The Ultimate Captain Choice
Erling Haaland continues to solidify his status as an FPL heavyweight, topping the AI predictions for points this Gameweek. With Manchester City’s title already secured, Haaland remains a key player to watch as they celebrate in front of their home fans. This Gameweek could also signify Pep Guardiola’s farewell at the helm, with notable departures expected. Haaland stands on the verge of clinching the Golden Boot for the third time in four seasons, having netted an impressive 27 goals. In fantastic form, he has scored in five consecutive league matches and leads the league for both total shots and big chances in recent weeks.
Richarlison: A Forward Worth Considering
As Tottenham Hotspur approaches the final day needing a point to secure safety, Richarlison’s potential as a valuable FPL forward is worth noting. Currently included in only 6.5% of teams, he has recently rediscovered his form with two goals and an assist in his last four matches. In the reverse fixture against Everton, he played a pivotal role in a 3-0 victory and will be eager to shine once more against his former club.
