Erling Haaland, the star forward from Manchester City, is priced at £14.3m in Fantasy Premier League and is currently topping the charts in terms of form and points per match, averaging an impressive 6.6 points. With a total of 164 points and 22 bonus points accrued so far this season, he’s undoubtedly been a key player for FPL managers. Haaland’s ownership stands at a remarkable 71.8%, indicating his widespread popularity among fantasy football enthusiasts. In Gameweek 32, he notched up 8 points, further solidifying his reputation as a consistent performer.

Looking ahead to the next fixture against Luton Town, who are languishing in the relegation zone and have a tendency to concede goals, it’s a promising opportunity for Haaland and Manchester City to capitalize. With the potential for a goal feast, City will be eager to improve their goal difference, and Haaland seems poised to play a pivotal role in exploiting Luton’s defensive vulnerabilities.

Despite his relatively lower price tag, Núñez has maintained a steady form, averaging 4.3 points per match and accumulating a total of 124 points so far this season.

Ollie Watkins, the forward from Aston Villa, is currently priced at £8.8m in the Fantasy Premier League, ranking third among forwards in terms of price. Despite facing a tough opponent in Arsenal in the upcoming fixture, Watkins has been in stellar form, averaging 6.5 points per match and accumulating an impressive total of 201 points so far this season. With 27 bonus points to his name, he’s proven to be a valuable asset for FPL managers. Watkins also boasts an ownership percentage of 36.8%, indicating a considerable level of trust among fantasy football enthusiasts.

In Gameweek 32, Watkins had a standout performance, securing an impressive 13 points. Despite the challenge posed by Arsenal’s defense, recent matches have shown vulnerabilities in their backline, as evidenced by their midweek UEFA Champions League clash against Bayern Munich, where they conceded multiple goals. With Watkins in such good form, he could emerge as the key player for Aston Villa in this match and potentially find success against Arsenal’s defense.

Rasmus Højlund (Man United)

Rasmus Højlund, the forward from Manchester United, is currently priced at £7.0m in the Fantasy Premier League, ranking thirteenth among forwards in terms of price. While his form has been relatively modest, with an average of 3.7 points per match and a total of 84 points accumulated so far this season, he has still managed to secure 10 bonus points. Højlund’s ownership stands at a modest 5.1%, indicating a lower level of interest among fantasy football managers.

In Gameweek 32, Højlund secured just 2 points. However, in the upcoming fixture against Bournemouth, there could be opportunities for him to make an impact. Facing Bournemouth presents a chance for Højlund and Manchester United to potentially capitalize on attacking opportunities and secure points. While he may not be among the top choices for FPL managers, Højlund could still prove to be a valuable differential option for those willing to take a chance on him.
