Fantasy Premier League expert Holly Shand highlights five standout performers who could reward a transfer into your FPL team and a winning bet in Double Gameweek 34…
“Mason Mount has been at the heart of Chelsea’s attacking play.”
The Goalscorer Bet: Mo Salah – Everton (H)
Mo Salah broke his open play scoring duck in emphatic fashion against Manchester United midweek, netting two goals from two big chances. He’s still significantly ahead of Heung-Min Son in the Golden Boot race, by a five goal margin.
This weekend brings another opportunity to improve on his 22 goals for the season when Everton visit Anfield in the Merseyside Derby: they have the worst away record in the Premier League this season. Salah scored a brace in the reverse fixture back in Gameweek 14.
The Assist Bet: Mason Mount – West Ham (H), Manchester United (A)
Chelsea’s attack has impressed in recent weeks and looks to be on top form with a false nine. Mason Mount has been at the heart of Chelsea’s attacking play, with three goals and two assists over the last six gameweeks at the time of writing. He’s had 12 shots in that time.
In the reverse fixture against West Ham, Mount delivered a goal and an assist. We know he can be unstoppable when on a hot streak. Neither opponent has kept a clean sheet over the last six gameweeks and Chelsea have scored 15 goals over that period.
The Penalty Bet: Harry Kane – Brentford (A)
Despite failing to deliver last weekend against Brighton, Spurs form is still undeniable: they’ve won six of their last eight games, scoring 25 goals in that time. Striker Harry Kane has been involved in over half of those goals, returning five goals and eight assists.
It will be an interesting match-up on Saturday, with Brentford in a similar vein of form, but the Bees have conceded in three of their last four Premier League fixtures. Kane has converted two penalties this season and Brentford have conceded two.
The Clean Sheet Bet: Andrew Robertson – Everton (H)
Liverpool remain one of the best defences in the Premier League this season, keeping 19 clean sheets. Andrew Robertson has been one of the top players in 2022, involved in nine clean sheets in eleven games: only three goals have been conceded while he’s been on the pitch.
He’s been highly involved at the other end of the pitch too, assisting for six goals in his last 10 Premier League starts. He also grabbed two assists in the reverse fixture. Everton have the worst away record in the Premier League this season.
The Attacking Return Bet: Kevin De Bruyne – Watford (H)
Kevin De Bruyne has hit form in recent weeks, with four goals in his last four Premier League games, but remains under the radar. He’s had 12 shots on goal and created 15 chances in that period. He has two goals and eight assists in nine appearances against Watford.
It’s a fixture which Manhester City have dominated in recent seasons, with this fixture finishing 8-0 the last time the Hornets visisted the Etihad. Watford are without a clean sheet in their last six games, conceding 15 goals in that spell.
