Encouragingly for Sanchez&#8217;s 13 per cent backers, 10 of those points came in the reverse fixture against Tuesday&#8217;s visitors Bournemouth back in Gameweek 15.<\/p>\n<p>Gabriel (Arsenal) \u00a36.2m<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/3\/arsenal\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Arsenal\u2019<\/a>s Brazilian is pushing for his first start since Gameweek 11 after marking his return from injury with an appearance off the bench against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/36\/brighton-and-hove-albion\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brighton &amp; Hove Albion<\/a> on Saturday. Although a home meeting with in-form <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/7\/aston-villa\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Aston Villa<\/a> looks far from straightforward, Gabriel\u2019s huge all-round potential suggests moving for him now can pay off \u2013 he was the second top-scoring player in Fantasy prior to his injury, with his 81 points second only to the 102 of Haaland after the opening 11 Gameweeks. \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Keane Lewis-Potter (Brentford) \u00a34.9m<\/p>\n<p>Listed as a defender in Fantasy, Lewis-Potter has profited from a role in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/94\/brentford\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Brentford\u2019<\/a>s front three due to the departure of Dango Ouattara (\u00a35.9m) to the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) with Burkina Faso. Lewis-Potter has scored twice and collected 29 points over the last three Gameweeks ahead of a home encounter with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/6\/tottenham-hotspur\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Patrick Dorgu (Man Utd) \u00a34.1m<\/p>\n<p>Similarly to Lewis-Potter, the Man Utd defender has been boosted by a change of role. Dorgu was fielded as a right winger against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/4\/newcastle-united\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Newcastle United<\/a> last time out, with head coach Ruben Amorim changing formation due to the absences of Bruno Fernandes (\u00a39.1m) and Bryan Mbeumo (\u00a38.1m) through injury and international duties respectively. Dorgu duly responded with a goal, a clean sheet, maximum bonus and two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/news\/4361991\/whats-new-in-202526-fantasy-defensive-contributions\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">defensive contribution points<\/a> for his career-high haul of 17 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Cole Palmer (Chelsea) \u00a310.4m<\/p>\n<p>The Chelsea playmaker, who will <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chelseafc.com\/en\/news\/article\/enzo-maresca-chelsea-team-news-bournemouth-december-2025\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">be assessed ahead of Tuesday evening<\/a> following his recent return from injury, looks a great option if he is named in the starting line-up at home to Bournemouth. Palmer has scored once and supplied an assist across the last three Gameweeks and faces a Cherries side who have conceded 27 goals in only nine away matches this season.<\/p>\n<p>Matheus Cunha (Man Utd) \u00a38.1m<\/p>\n<p>Man Utd\u2019s Brazilian boasts a major goal threat ahead of a home encounter with his former club Wolves. Over the last four Gameweeks, Cunha\u2019s 15 shots in the box and five big chances \u2013 situations where a player is expected to score \u2013 both rank among the top two players in Fantasy. Wolves, meanwhile, have conceded 10 goals and 16 big chances over the same period, with both of those totals the worst in the league.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Bruno Guimaraes (Newcastle) \u00a37.0m<\/p>\n<p>The Newcastle star was a big success in his last match against his midweek hosts <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/90\/burnley\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Burnley<\/a>, scoring and earning 10 points back in Gameweek 15. If you\u2019re thinking of buying Guimaraes, it\u2019s worth noting he is on four yellow cards and would serve a one-match ban if he is booked against the Clarets. Should he avoid another caution, the threat of suspension would no longer hang over him as the threshold is then extended to 10 yellows from Gameweek 20 onwards.<\/p>\n<p>See:\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/news\/4425344\/which-players-are-suspended-or-close-to-a-ban-in-fantasy\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Which players are suspended or close to a ban in Premier League matches?<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Rayan Cherki (Man City) \u00a36.7m<\/p>\n<p>Man City\u2019s Frenchman is the second most-bought player in Gameweek 19, earning 291,000+ new owners. Cherki has started each of the last four matches for Pep Guardiola\u2019s side, scoring once and supplying four assists to amass 35 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Erling Haaland (Man City) \u00a315.1m<\/p>\n<p>The Norwegian holds onto the captaincy despite his weekend blank at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/17\/nottingham-forest\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Nottingham Forest<\/a>. Over the last four Gameweeks, Haaland\u2019s total of seven big chances are more than any other player in Fantasy, and he now faces a Sunderland side who have managed only one clean sheet across their last five home matches.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Hugo Ekitike (Liverpool) \u00a39.1m<\/p>\n<p>Five goals and an assist over the last four Gameweeks have made <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/14\/liverpool\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Liverpool<\/a>\u2019s Frenchman the second most-owned forward in Fantasy. Ekitike\u2019s 35 per cent backers will be expecting more attacking returns against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.premierleague.com\/en\/clubs\/2\/leeds-united\/overview\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Leeds United<\/a> on Thursday evening \u2013 he scored twice to earn 13 points in the reverse fixture at Elland Road in Gameweek 15.<\/p>\n<p>Joao Pedro (Chelsea) \u00a37.2m<\/p>\n<p>The Brazilian has stepped up his output ahead of Chelsea\u2019s contest against Bournemouth. Joao Pedro\u2019s upturn has coincided with Palmer\u2019s recent return from injury, with back-to-back goals against Newcastle and Aston Villa over the last two Gameweeks earning him 14 points.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"See the dream line-up, which includes a combined SEVEN players from Chelsea, Man City and Man Utd Chelsea,\u00a0Manchester&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":376774,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[440],"tags":[49,48,561,82,5452],"class_list":{"0":"post-376773","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-ca","9":"tag-canada","10":"tag-soccer","11":"tag-sports","12":"tag-text"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376773","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=376773"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/376773\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/376774"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=376773"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=376773"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=376773"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
