Manchester City star Erling Haaland just became the first player to record 100 FPL points this season, as he has missed scoring at least one goal in only two out of 11 matches this Premier League season.

Brentford forward Igor Thiago has already recorded eight goals in 11 matches this season, and he is in great form with four goals in the last four PL matches, including scoring at least once in three fixtures.

Jarrod Bowen

West Ham United star Jarrod Bowen has recorded three goals and one assist this PL season, but managed only one assist in the last five fixtures.

Best FPL Midfielders

Antoine Semenyo

AFC Bournemouth’s FPL midfielder Antoine Semenyo has scored six goals and four assists this PL season. While he was once running with superb form, he failed to record any direct goal involvement in the last three PL fixtures, including missing a penalty in their last match.

Declan Rice

Arsenal footballer Declan Rice has recorded two goals and four assists this season. In the last three games, he recorded one goal and one assist.

Moisés Caicedo

Chelsea star Moisés Caicedo has recorded three goals and one assist in this PL season. He has also brought some strong defensive contribution points, as he is in the second position in the list of most defensive contributions among midfielders this season.

Best FPL Defenders

Gabriel

Arsenal defender Gabriel is flying high this season. Apart from seven clean sheets, he has also recorded one goal and two assists this season, along with decent defensive contribution points.

Jurriën Timber

With six clean sheets, two goals, and two assists this FPL season, another Arsenal defender, Jurriën Timber, has also impressed.

Marc Guéhi

Apart from one goal and three assists, Crystal Palace defender Marc Guéhi has also recorded four clean sheets this season.

Riccardo Calafiori

While Arsenal are dominating in the PL points table, it is no shocker that three Arsenal defenders are in the top five FPL points table among defenders. Riccardo Calafiori has recorded seven clean sheets, one goal, and two assists this FPL season.

Daniel Muñoz

Crystal Palace defender Daniel Muñoz hasn’t only recorded five clean sheets, but he has also recorded one goal and three assists this season.

Best FPL Goalkeepers

Robin Roefs

Sunderland goalie Robin Roefs hasn’t only managed four clean sheets, but he has also consistently produced FPL points from saves, while three saves are required to score each FPL point from a match. Also, against Brentford at home, he saved a penalty.

David Raya

Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya has already recorded seven clean sheets this season, as he is also producing strong FPL points along with the defenders.

Nick Pope

Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has secured five clean sheets this FPL season. Moreover, he has also brought some consistent FPL points with the saves.

Guglielmo Vicario

Apart from four clean sheets, Spurs goalkeeper Guglielmo Vicario has also produced some FPL points through his saves.

Dean Henderson

Crystal Palace goalie Dean Henderson has already recorded five clean sheets this season.

Who are the Gabriel and Sesko Injury Replacement?

Arsenal defender Gabriel is doubtful for their upcoming home fixture against Tottenham Hotspur in Gameweek 12, as the Brazilian has a 50 percent chance to play according to the latest FPL report. The other Gunners’ defenders, Jurriën Timber and Riccardo Calafiori, can be the top replacements for Gabriel for the upcoming gameweek. However, Calafiori is also struggling with a hip injury, while he has a 75 percent chance of featuring in Gameweek 12.

Manchester United’s FPL forward Benjamin Sesko is also injured, as the player has a 25 percent chance to play in their upcoming home PL fixture against Everton due to his knee injury. Brentford’s Igor Thiago and Brighton’s Danny Welbeck are the top replacement choices of Sesko. While the Chelsea star Joao Pedro will be a little costlier than Sesko, the Blues are ready to face the hosts, Burnley, this gameweek.
