FPL: Top 5 FPL Players To Watch For Gameweek 12

No sooner did we catch our breaths from the action of the last gameweek than GW11 is upon us. Let’s jump right into this gameweek’s ones to watch.

5. Marc Guehi (£4.4m)

With the loss of Reece James from our FPL teams for the considerable future, it’s essential to sell him before he loses value. A cheaper defender to look at would be Guehi. He is at a great price point and is on a very good run of fixtures, and has also delivered a clean sheet in the last gameweek.

He is not the most exciting pick, but I feel he frees up funds to strengthen your squad elsewhere. You could get in another premium midfielder or attacker or upgrade your bench fodder.

4. Kepa Arrizabalaga (£4.4m)

What a turnaround this man has had. From laughing stock to one of the most in-form keepers in the league. He seems to be Potter’s preferred keeper and, at £4.4m, is a cheap entry into the Chelsea backline. He put in a magnificent performance against Villa as well and single-handedly kept Chelsea’s clean sheet.

Brentford, United, and Brighton are next, not the best fixtures, but Chelsea is usually a tough team to break down, so Kepa could pick up a couple of clean sheets.

3. Leandro Trossard (£6.9m)

Nottingham Forest is the Norwich of this season, the League’s whipping boys. With Brighton facing them next, Trossard is a great option to go for. He has been in great form and has impressed beyond his hat trick. His positioning just off the striker sees him get into a lot of goalscoring positions.

In a week that City and Arsenal both aren’t playing, he could be a differential captain pick as well.

2. Harry Kane (£11.5m)

If not for Haaland’s unprecedented start to the season, we would indeed be talking more about Kane’s goalscoring. 9G and 1A in 10 games, a goal contribution a game. With Son out of form and Richarlison and Kulusevski injured, the goalscoring impetus is even more on Kane, and he’ll deliver without a doubt.

With people shifting to a more front-heavy team, could you sacrifice players in your defence for a front line of Kane and Haaland? That would be a viable option.

1. Mohamed Salah (£12.7m)

After quite a while, we heard the Kop end chanting Mo Salah’s name, and man, was it well deserved. With 4 goals in his last 2 games, Salah is back. For all the criticism he was getting with people calling him finished for a “slow start” to the season. 3 goals and 3 assists in 9 games isn’t something to be looked down upon.

So why wait, if you are a KDB owner, you could easily switch back to Salah. He faces West Ham, Nottingham Forrest, and Leeds in the next 3 games. Games that he most likely will get some attacking returns.
