5 Best Midfielder Picks for Fantasy Premier League GW 5
Midfielders are the position with the most points potential in the Fantasy Premier League. It is quite important to select the players who have the best chance of getting the points that week. That is why it is quite important to get the choices right. For example, Manchester City and Arsenal played each other this weekend so it might be best to avoid players from both. Let us look at the five best midfielders for Fantasy Premier League GW 5.
5. Amadou Onana
Amadou Onana is undoubtedly one of the best signings of the season so far. Not only has he been excellent in the deeper midfielder role, as expected of him, but he has also been really good in front of goal. The Belgian has scored twice in four Premier League games. In addition, he scored in the most recent game in the Champions League as well. So far he has 21 points from the 4 games. Villa faces Wolves this weekend who are struggling terribly. Maybe Onana can score again.
4. Jarrod Bowen
West Ham have had an indifferent start to the season. Jarrod Bowen however has been one of the better players. He has a goal and an assist so far in 4 games and it is fair to say that his best is yet to come. Chelsea struggle defensively quite a bit and usually concede in every game. Bowen could make matters much worse for them, especially given how the absences they have at fullback. He has 20 points from the 4 points so far.

3. Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer had the most goal contributions in the Premier League last season. This season too, he has started in superb form. He has played four games this season, scoring one goal and providing four assists. He has 28 points this season and is owned by 39.5% of the managers in the game. He is available for £10.6m in the Fantasy Premier League. West Ham have conceded 6 times already this season and Palmer could add on to that.
2. Luis Diaz
Luis Diaz has perhaps gone under the radar this season in the Premier League. In the four Premier League games that Liverpool have played this season, Luis Diaz has scored 3 times and assisted one more. He already has 35 points, which is more than any midfielder other than Mo Salah. He’s available for £7.8m and owned by 22.5% of the managers. Bournemouth are a good side one would expect Liverpool to put them to the sword.
1. Mo Salah
Mo Salah is obviously on a different level from everyone else. He continues to be in the conversation among one of the best midfielders for Fantasy Premier League each season. He has 3 goals and 3 assists in the league this season. Notably, all this came before a blank against Nottingham Forest last weekend. Let us see what this weekend holds for the Egyptian king, with Liverpool set to face Bournemouth this weekend. Bournemouth have 2 draws and a loss so there are question marks about their defending.
