Best Midfielder Picks for Fantasy Premier League GW14

Gameweek 13 of the Fantasy Premier League served up an interesting set of results. The Manchester City vs Liverpool encounter ended in a dominant 2-0 victory for the table-topping Reds, while Kevin Schade of Brentford lit up the weekend with a stunning 23-point haul against Leicester City which included a hattrick.

Top 5 Best Midfielder Picks for Fantasy Premier League GW14

5. Luis Diaz – Liverpool| 71 points | £7.6m

Luis Diaz has perhaps gone under the radar this season in the Premier League. In the 13 Premier League that Liverpool have played this season, Luis Diaz has scored 5 times and assisted 3 more. He already has 71 points, which is more than any midfielder other than Mo Salah among Liverpool players. He’s available for £7.6m and owned by 20.5% of the managers. Although his form has massively declined from how he started the season, he still is playing well and it might be a good strategy to have more Liverpool players at the moment. Newcastle are a good side but one would expect Liverpool to put them to the sword.

4. Koaru Mitoma – Brighton | 57 points | £6.5m

Brighton are looking for great value for money right now and they are playing some attractive football at the moment. Their attacking force is filled with talented players and led by Koaru Mitoma. The winger has seen his stock fall of late from what it was a couple of seasons ago. However, he could turn into an exciting differential option for Fantasy Premier League managers as he has looked in a great knock of late. At his best, Mitoma still remains dangerous, racking up 6 goal contributions this season so far, including goals in consecutive games. Brighton takes on an out-of-form Fulham side this weekend and the Japanese international for one will be looking to trouble the Cottagers’ defence in this one.

3. Brennan Johnson – Tottenham Hotspur | 65 points | £6.7m

Brennan Johnson has been in outstanding form, something that will give him all the confidence that he needs. He was on the scoresheet as Spurs drew 1-1 with Fulham this weekend. The winger had drawn criticism earlier this season but seems to have completely turned it around. He has been among the goals all season, proving himself. The record speaks for him, with 6 goals and 2 assists in the league. This weekend, Spurs take on a Bournemouth side who haven’t been in particularly great form. Johnson will back himself to score, making it three league games in a row that he’s scored in.

2. Cole Palmer – Chelsea | 100 points | £11m

Cole Palmer has been ridiculously good over the last couple of seasons. While many would have considered last season to be a freak one as he had 33 goal contributions in the league. He has proven all of them wrong with 14 already this season. It seemed like it was time to sell him given he seemed to have hit a poor run of form but the Englishman once again proved himself last weekend, with a goal and assist against Aston Villa. There’s nothing to suggest that another big Fantasy Premier League haul isn’t coming his way as an in-form Chelsea side prepares to face bottom-of-the-table Southampton.

1. Mo Salah – Liverpool | 120 points | £13.1m

Mo Salah has more points in Fantasy Premier League than anyone else so far this season and that does not look likely to change anytime soon. He was also the first player to cross the 100-point mark this season. Salah’s consistency is ridiculous with him having provided big hauls in each of his last 6 games. Even last weekend, he was the match-winner against Manchester City. He has 11 goals and 7 assists in the Premier League this season already, more goal contributions than anyone else in the league. Liverpool’s game this weekend is against a struggling Newcastle United team. Salah could make their situation much worse.

Gameweek 14 of the Fantasy Premier League promises yet more action. Manchester United take on Arsenal as they look to improve even more under the management of new boss Ruben Amorim. Arsenal must win in order to not lose sight of the top of the table while United will look to get their first big scalp.

The deadline for Gameweek 14 is on the 3rd of December.
