Goalkeeper:

Brighton hasn't been great defensively, but Ryan's save points make him a good FPL option.

Mat Ryan (BHA) - £4.5 m | Opponent: CRY(A): With McCarthy's Southampton taking on Chelsea, I'm going with Ryan in goal. He could keep a clean sheet against a goal-shy Crystal Palace side and get some FPL points.


Defenders:

James Justin is a very popular FPL option.

Stuart Dallas (LEE) - £4.5 m | Opponent: WOL(H): Dallas has a high chance of getting some FPL returns at home against Wolves. He has the third-highest goal threat among FPL defenders this season and is a good option to have in your team.

James Justin (LEI) - £4.5 m | Opponent: AVL(H): James Justin has been a great budget FPL defender. He's set to get some FPL points as Leicester look to bounce back from a 3-0 defeat against West Ham.

Trent Alexander-Arnold (LIV) - £7.5 m | Opponent: EVE(A): Alexander-Arnold has just one attacking return and clean sheet apiece from four matches. He'll have to do well in the Merseyside Derby to justify his premium FPL price tag.

Eric Dier (TOT) - £5.0m | Opponent: WHU(H): The Tottenham centre-back can get some clean sheet points, as Spurs look to tighten up their defence. He does have a slight hamstring problem but is likely to be fit before the match.


Midfielders:

Mo Salah(C) scored both of Liverpool's goals.

Harvey Barnes (LEI) - £7.0 m | Opponent: AVL(H): The Leicester City winger was unlucky to get a goal ruled out for offside in Gameweek 4. While their opponents have been solid in defence, Leicester have been attacking well and could break them down. Barnes will be at the heart of the action and is bound to get some FPL points.

Mohamed Salah (LIV) - £12.0 m | Opponent: EVE(A): Salah was the lone bright spot in Liverpool's disastrous 7-2 loss against Aston Villa. He is the second most-owned FPL player and will look to carry on the good form and get some more points for his owners.

Riyad Mahrez (MCI) - £8.5 m | Opponent: ARS(H): Mahrez blanked against Leeds United but was pretty creative. He will look to exert more influence against Arsenal in this game and could get some FPL points.

Marcus Rashford (MUN) - £9.5 m | Opponent: NEW(A): Marcus Rashford was on the scoresheet for England in the international break. With Martial suspended and Cavani not fully fit, Rashford could be asked to assume the lone striker's role and could bring in a lot of FPL returns for his owners.


Forwards:

Calvert-Lewin is currently the most popular FPL player.

Timo Werner (CHE) - £9.3 m | Opponent: SOU(H): Werner hasn't gotten off to the best start in the Premier League and is yet to find the back of the net. A home fixture against Southampton is an ideal fixture for him to break his duck. With regular left-winger Christian Pulisic returning from injury, Werner may get to play in his preferred position and rake in the FPL points.

Dominic Calvert-Lewin (EVE)- £7.3 m | Opponent: LIV(H): Picking Dominic Calvert-Lewin in my Gameweek 1 team was one of the best FPL decisions I've ever made. He has looked like scoring in every game and it won't be a surprise if he continues that run against Liverpool, who haven't been great defensively.


Bench:

GK: Mathew Ryan (BHA) - £4.5 m | Opponent: EVE(A)

1st Sub: Steven Alzate (MID) (BHA)- £4.5 m | Opponent: EVE(A)

2nd Sub: Kyle Walker-Peters (SOU) - £4.5 m | Opponent: CHE(A)

3rd Sub: Keinan Davis (FWD) (AVL) - £4.5 | Opponent: SHU(H)
