Goalkeepers

In terms of DGW teams, Chelsea, West Ham and Brighton have the best clean sheet odds for Gameweek 29, making Kepa Arrizabalaga (Chelsea), Lukasz Fabianski (West Ham) and Jason Steele (Brighton) standout picks.

Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal) is also expected to enjoy plenty of success against Leeds, while Keylor Navas (Nottm Forest) could prove to be an excellent differential, with Wolves and Leeds up next for Forest.

Defenders

Ben Chilwell (Chelsea) is bound to be a popular pick this Gameweek, as the Chelsea full-back offers both defensive and attacking threat. Kieran Tripper (Newcastle) and Luke Shaw (Man Utd) are also great options.

We shouldn’t forget about Single Gameweek players, too, with the likes of Gabriel (Arsenal) and Pedro Porro (Tottenham) expected to pick up points this weekend.

Midfielders

Kaoru Mitoma (Brighton), Solly March (Brighton), Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd) and Marcus Rashford (Man Utd) are all among the top five most transferred-in players this Gameweek, highlighting their popularity.

Fresh from scoring a sublime goal for England, Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) remains FPL’s highest-scoring midfielder. Saka has the potential to run riot against Leeds, having bagged two goals, one assist and three bonus points last time out.

Forwards

With Man City playing once in DGW29, many FPL managers will be dropping Erling Haaland (Man City) from their teams, despite the fact that Haaland has scored 28 goals and amassed 203 points this season.

DGW forwards to consider include Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Kai Havertz (Chelsea), Darwin Nunez (Liverpool) and Alexander Isak (Newcastle).
