  3. Mohamed Salah (Liverpool) - 6.7 points
  4. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) - 4.4 points
  5. Kai Havertz (Arsenal) - 4.3 points

It's no surprise to see Manchester City assets dominating the top of the list, with Haaland and De Bruyne expected to shine against Ipswich. Liverpool's Salah also features prominently, while Arsenal's dynamic duo of Saka and Havertz round out the top five despite a tricky away fixture at Aston Villa.

Fantasy Premier League player projected points

Just as unsurprisingly, Haaland, Salah, De Bruyne, and Saka are the top four players for projected points over the next four Gameweeks, as shown in the Predicted Points & Stats tool.

Top 5 Teams for Goal-Scoring Potential

  1. Manchester City - 2.63 projected goals
  2. Liverpool - 2.13 projected goals
  3. Tottenham - 1.83 projected goals
  4. Newcastle - 1.81 projected goals
  5. Arsenal - 1.68 projected goals

Manchester City leads the pack with a mouth-watering fixture against Ipswich, while Liverpool's home game against Brentford offers great attacking potential. Tottenham, Newcastle, and Arsenal complete the top five, suggesting their attacking assets could be worth considering for your FPL team.

Premier League fixtures

Not only do Man City, Liverpool, and Newcastle have favourable fixtures this Gameweek, but they also rank highly for attacking potential in their next three fixtures, according to the Fixture Analyser tool.

Top 5 Teams for Clean Sheet Potential

  1. Manchester City - 63% clean sheet probability
  2. Liverpool - 36% clean sheet probability
  3. Tottenham - 39% clean sheet probability
  4. Arsenal - 31% clean sheet probability
  5. Newcastle - 28% clean sheet probability

Once again, Manchester City tops the list with an impressive 63% chance of keeping a clean sheet against Ipswich. Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle also offer good defensive options, although their probabilities are significantly lower than City's.

Conclusion: Balancing Act for FPL Success

As we approach Gameweek 2, the key to FPL success lies in finding the right balance between high-scoring attackers and solid defensive options. Manchester City assets seem to be the standout picks this week, with both attacking and defensive potential. However, don't overlook the value that Liverpool, Tottenham, Arsenal, and Newcastle players could bring to your team.

Remember, while these projections provide valuable insights, FPL is unpredictable, and there's always room for surprises.

Good luck in Gameweek 2, and may your arrows be green!
