Alexander Isak has been phenomenal for the Geordies, with five goals coming in the last five games. The Swedish striker has surely begun to prove himself as Premier League quality.
An exceptional xG of 14.39 makes him one of the more dangerous strikers in the Prem. His combined goal return of 15 has rendered the St James’ Park crowd jubilant.
An absolute fan-favorite since signing for Newcastle, Fabian Schar was one of the bargains of the season a while back.
For a defender, three goals and an assist in the last ten matches is very good. He remains as one of the better choices for an attack-minded defender - with 61.1% dribble success, 50.7% long ball accuracy, and nine chances created all season.
The former Everton man has been a blessing for Newcastle. His pressing game and aggression brought to the table a whole new game.
A 7.35 overall rating in addition to nine goals and six assists outlines Gordon as a prime pick. The Englishman had scored nine goals and supplied 11 assists over the course of the season, with three assists in one gameweek (30).

One of Chelsea’s saviors this season, sixteen goals, nine assists. Seven goals in the last eight matches (three penalties), with five assists.
A no-brainer of a decision to pick Cole Palmer for your side this week, with the boy scoring against bigger opposition than Everton before. He is regularly on target with 15.84 xG (On target only) and 12.45 xG overall.
Nine goals and three assists this season, the new arrival is one of the few performers this season for Chelsea.
33 successful dribbles and a 54.1% dribble success rate talks volumes, although not always consistent, he does show flashes of brilliance when needed most. In the last six games, Nicolas had notched two goals and one assist. Chelsea also have the most games in hand (two).

An underrated pick this season, Brentford have a consistent and strong performer on their hands, in Bryan Mbeumo.
Eight goals this season for a side like Brentford is an achievement. Mbeumo frequently links up with Ivan Toney and has a high xA (expected assists) of 4.11 for Brentford’s talisman. The winger is also a very good foul winner, with 31 this season.

The Colombian’s overall rating of 7.29 speaks volumes, and his eight goals and four assists amplify it even more so.
An ambitious winger, 80 shots overall this season back that up. 10.34 xG and 3.58 xA put him up there as one of the most dangerous players to face. In addition to this, 85% pass accuracy makes him one of the least error-prone wingers.
£7.6m albeit being one of the higher price tags on our list, is a low price for a great attacker amongst the PL’s elite.
Despite now having played a few years at the top, Robertson is an honest pick - consistent and trustworthy.
If you’re in the market for a trusty left-back, why not go for the man with 87.4% pass accuracy, and 727 recorded successful passes. The statistic backs him up as one of the finer choices for consistency.

A brilliantly honest defender, Diogo Dalot has been a standout performer in a struggling United side.
The Portuguese supplied an excellent 51.% long ball accuracy in addition to 131 duels one, excelling in one-on-ones with wingers. 35 interceptions, a whopping 161 recoveries show that he is resilient.
Andre Onana may be the butt of many jokes, but the amount of shots he is faced with is unheard of.
Despite lots of shots faced, the goalkeeper had recorded 120 saves, a great 72.3% save percentage, and eight clean sheets. 164 accurate long balls is a nice little bonus.

There are numerous great options to pick for your captain within the English Premier League.
The key to choosing a good captain is to be consistent in your EPL predictions.
Luis Diaz is our shout for the captaincy - his dangerous style of play complements Liverpool’s next game, against Crystal Palace. Palace have conceded ten goals in their last five matches, while Liverpool have scored 13 goals in their last five. Diaz has chipped in with three goals and an assist in his last five home matches.
Cole Palmer is a prime pick for the vice-captaincy, with his incredible record of providing goals and assists for Chelsea. Being the penalty taker is also an advantage, in addition to Chelsea’s two league games in hand.
