5. Georgino Rutter – Brighton | 40 points | £5.6m
Georgino Rutter, Brighton’s summer signing, has burst onto the Premier League scene as was expected from him. In just 8 games, he’s already showcased his talent with 3 assists and 2 goals. His impressive performances have made him a must have for both Brighton and Fantasy Premier League managers. Brighton with their exciting attack face Bournemouth this weekend. The Frenchman is a bundle of skills and tricks. While the Cherries have been good, Brighton will be expected to get on the scoresheet and Rutter will be definitely among the ones making a mark.
4. Bryan Mbeumo – Brentford | 76 points | £7.9m
Brentford midfielder Bryan Mbeumo has been one of the outstanding players in Fantasy Premier League this season. He has a stunning total of 76 points, putting him top 3 among midfielders in the game. It is his home record that deserves a lot of attention. With 7 goals and 1 assist, Mbeumo has returned good hauls in each of his six appearances on his home turf, averaging 10.0 points per match across those contests. However, this week, Brentford are on the road but it is against a poor Everton side so Mbeumo will be expected to do well. This season, Mbeumo has got a lot of the attention he deserved.

3. Cole Palmer – Chelsea | 84 points | £10.9m
Cole Palmer is one of the most talented Premier League players, but he has faced some scrutiny due to recent subpar performances against top teams like Manchester United, Arsenal, and Liverpool. His absence during the international break due to a knock has further added to the uncertainty surrounding his form. However, the record speaks for himself, with 7 goals and 5 assists in the league. This weekend, Chelsea face Leicester City who have been quite leaky. Palmer could well return to form in a massive way this weekend. It’s time for Palmer to exercise his credentials as the best in the league.
2. Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United | 50 points | £8.4m
Bruno Fernandes is the main man at Manchester United. After a poor start to the season, the Portuguese midfielder is firing on all cylinders again. In his last two matches, he has picked up 10 points and 17 points respectively. With new manager Ruben Amorim ready to step in this weekend against Ipswich Town, expect Bruno Fernandes to assume an even more important role. He has been amongst the most in form players in the Premier League right now and it will be interesting to see what he can do this weekend. He had a great international break as well so he will be really up for this one.
1. Mo Salah – Liverpool | 107 points | £12.9m
Mo Salah has the most points in Fantasy Premier League so far this season and he is also the only player to cross the 100 points mark this season. The Liverpool talisman is one of the most consistent players in the world and has been so for years. He has led the charge once again as Liverpool lead the Premier League standings. He has 8 goals and 6 assists in the Premier League this season already. So far there have only been two games in the league this season where he hasn’t scored or assisted. Liverpool’s game this weekend is against Southampton and Salah will be expected to heavily add on to his tally.
Gameweek 12 of the Fantasy Premier League promises yet more action. Manchester City take on Tottenham Hotspur as they look to improve their massively hit form as they have lost 4 in a row. Manchester United are also at an interesting juncture as they enter a new era under Ruben Amorim, taking on Ipswich Town this weekend.
The deadline for Gameweek 12 is November 23rd.
