Luis Diaz began the Premier League season in exceptional shape. In the 23 Premier League matches that Liverpool have played this season, Luis Diaz has 10 goal contributions. Even though his performance has significantly dropped from the way he began the season, he is still performing well, and it might be prudent to include more Liverpool players at this time. The Colombian consistently puts in hard work and possesses a spark of brilliance, making it worthwhile to take the chance on him. Liverpool has a double gameweek this time as they compete against Bournemouth and Everton, so it’s crucial to have additional options from them.

4. Morgan Rogers – Aston Villa| 96 points | £5.6m

Performances-wise, Morgan Rogers had an incredible start to the season. Now he has added the stats. He is definitely a candidate to be the breakout start of the season. He has become a nailed on starter for Aston Villa. As he is quite cheap in the game, he is a nice Fantasy Premier League asset too. But managers were critical of his lack of goal involvement. Those fears may have been misplaced as he now has 6 goals and 4 assists in the league. Even more remarkably, he is coming off a midweek Champions League hat-trick against Wolves. He looks likely to add to that this weekend against a leaky Wolves side.

3. Bruno Fernandes – Manchester United | 103 points | £8.4m

Manchester United can exhibit a true Jekyll and Hyde nature at times. Although they have generally been average, they occasionally perform at a high level. In the recent matches against Rangers and Fulham, their performance has significantly improved. This has been spearheaded by captain Bruno Fernandes, who has truly been exceptional. Although he currently boasts 5 goals and 6 assists in the league, these statistics do not fully represent the remarkable form he has displayed. With a weakened Crystal Palace set to face United this week, the Portuguese international is essential.

2. Cole Palmer – Chelsea | 167 points | £11.3m

It’s the recognizable names at the top of this list once again. Cole Palmer has been incredibly effective in recent seasons. While some individuals may have viewed the last season as an anomaly due to his 33-goal contributions in the league. He has refuted all of them with 20 already this season. Nevertheless, it has been a variable season for him. His last two appearances in the Premier League have not produced significant returns, but there are no indications that another substantial Fantasy Premier League score isn’t on the horizon as an erratic Chelsea team prepares to face West Ham. Palmer still holds the second position on the list of leading point earners.

1. Mo Salah – Liverpool | 222 points | £13.7m

Mo Salah has accumulated more points in Fantasy Premier League than any other player this season thus far, and this is not expected to change in the near future. He was also the initial player to surpass the 200 points threshold this season. Salah’s consistency is extraordinary, having produced significant returns nearly every time he has played this season. He has already netted 19 goals and offered 13 assists in the Premier League this season, exceeding any other player at this stage in the league’s history. He has a double gameweek ahead, facing Bournemouth and Everton, positioning him as a legitimate triple captain option.

As we turn our attention to Gameweek 24, the Premier League has a thrilling set of fixtures lined up. The highlight of the weekend is the fact that it is a double gameweek for both Everton and Liverpool, the first double gameweek of the season. Everton play Leicester City in their first game while Liverpool play in form Bournemouth. The two sides close out the gameweek with a Merseyside derby.

The deadline for GW24 is on 1st February.
