These picks cover every type of FPL manager — whether you prefer to play it safe with the crowd or chase early gains with a differential.
Haaland has scored eight goals in away matches this season — more than any other player. The Norwegian international also leads all players for shots in the box (31), shots on target (16), 'big chances' (13) and expected goals (xG) (6.56) away from home.
Man City have scored 18 goals in away games — the most in the league — and rank sixth for shots in the box (77) and eighth for xG (13.48) on their travels.
Their hosts, Sunderland, have conceded just eight goals in nine home matches and have kept three clean sheets. However, they are missing a significant number of players due to the African Cup of Nations (AFCON) and are also likely to be without Ballard. The Black Cats rank 16th for shots conceded (113) and 13th for expected goals conceded (xGC) (12.29) in home games.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Haaland is projected to score 6.2 points this Gameweek.
In the absence of key players such as Salah, Isak and Gakpo, Ekitiké has emerged as Liverpool’s attacking talisman in recent weeks.
As shown in the image below from our Match Centre feature, he leads all Liverpool players over the last five league matches for goals (five), expected goals (xG) (2.7) and shots on target (six).
Liverpool have scored 15 goals in home matches this season (ninth) and rank second for shots (150) and ninth for expected goals (xG) (15.41) at Anfield.
Their visitors, Leeds, have conceded 20 goals away from home (18th) and are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. The promoted side rank eighth for shots in the box conceded (75) and seventh for expected goals conceded (xGC) (14.19) in away games.
Ekitiké is currently projected to score 6.1 points this Gameweek, according to our Predicted Points & Stats.
With B. Fernandes injured and Mbeumo away at AFCON, there is greater onus on Cunha to spearhead Man United’s attack. Over the last four Gameweeks, his 25 shots is at least eight more than second-placed Ekitiké (17), while no other player has registered more shots on target than his nine.
As highlighted in the Opta Stats Sandbox image below, only Schade (3.31) has recorded a higher xG total than Cunha’s 2.83 among midfielders. He is also joint-top for big chances (five), alongside Brooks and Schade.
Man United have scored 17 goals in home matches this season (fourth) and rank top for shots (164) and second for expected goals (xG) (20.87) at Old Trafford.
Their opponents, Wolves, have conceded 16 goals away from home (13th) and are yet to keep a clean sheet on their travels. The Midlands side rank 15th for shots conceded (137) and sixth for xGC (14.09) in away games.
According to our Predicted Points & Stats tool, Cunha is projected to score 4.4 points this Gameweek.
