Deep dives
Lewis Dias gets the nod as a strong differential option
Lewis Dias is a strong differential option for this week as Liverpool face favorable fixtures against Fulham. With Jota out injured, Dias is expected to start and he has a track record of delivering attacking returns. He has a good record of shots in the box and penalty area touches, making him a promising option.
Morgan Gibbs-White offers differential potential
Morgan Gibbs-White is a differential option worth considering. He has been in good form recently, returning double-digit points in back-to-back games. With favorable fixtures against Everton, Fulham, and Wolves, Gibbs-White is expected to be heavily involved in the attack. He is relatively affordable and offers good value for his price.
Salah remains a strong captain option against Bournemouth
Salah continues to be a reliable captain option for this week's fixtures. Facing Bournemouth, Salah has a good chance of delivering attacking returns. His form and goal-scoring abilities make him a standout option. Consider putting the captain's armband on Salah for the upcoming matches.
Consider Darwin Nunez as a potential transfer
Darwin Nunez is a transfer option worth considering. With a strong run of fixtures ahead, including games against Spurs, Manchester United, and Crystal Palace, Nunez has the potential to deliver significant returns. Given his recent form and the weakness of the opposition, bringing in Nunez could prove to be a successful move.
Take into account fixture congestion when making transfers
When making transfers, it is important to consider fixture congestion. Some teams, like Newcastle, may have limited options due to injuries and suspensions. This could affect the performance and potential returns of certain players. Keep fixture congestion in mind when deciding on transfers.
