BBC Sport Fantasy Premier League team of the week (Their fantasy football price/value detailed, plus who they are playing against) ahead of the weekend:
Keeper and Defence
David Raya, Arsenal, keeper, £6m – Bournemouth (h)
Gabriel, Arsenal, £7.2m – Bournemouth (h)
Nordi Mukiele, Sunderland, £4.5m – Tottenham (h)
Virgil van Dijk, Liverpool, £6.3m – Fulham (h)
Diogo Dalot, Manchester United, £4.6m – Leeds (h)
Midfield
Bruno Fernandes (captain), Manchester United, £10.3m – Leeds (h)
Antoine Semenyo, Manchester City, £8.2m – Chelsea (a)
Anthony Gordon, Newcastle United, £7.4m – Crystal Palace (a)
Gordon is bang in form, with three goals in three games, and will still be on penalties if Bruno Guimaraes is not fit to return.
There’s a chance Eddie Howe plays him out of position too, as a striker
Newcastle need a response after their derby defeat by Sunderland – if they produce a strong performance then Gordon, who has been involved in 26% of their goals, has a good chance of picking up points again.
(ED: Anthony Gordon has indeed scored against Man U, Chelsea and Sunderland in the last three United matches. Also worth pointing out as well, that even if (hopefully!) Bruno is back in the team on Sunday, Gordon is the first choice penalty taker ahead of him)
Strikers
Igor Thiago, Brentford, £7.3m – Everton (h)
Jarrod Bowen, West Ham, £7.6m – Wolves (h)
Erling Haaland, Manchester City, £14.4m – Chelsea (a)
