5. Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka has been in top form since to start of the season. His creative numbers are stupidly high, with his 7 assists in the league being the highest so far in the top 5 leagues of Europe. Arsenal’s opponents this week are Bournemouth and once again their starboy will be expected to come up with the goods in Fantasy Premier League.

4. Cole Palmer
Cole Palmer is the most talked about name in English football at the moment and most deservedly so. Over the last year and a half, the Chelsea youngster has played at an absolutely ridiculous level. This season, he already has 11 goal contributions from just 7 league games. Although Chelsea face table toppers Liverpool this weekend, Palmer is a man for the big occasions so expect him to do well nevertheless.
3. Dominic Solanke
Fresh from a return to the England setup, the next few weeks shall represent a very crucial time in Dominic Solanke‘s new Spurs career. With the side being very inconsistent and their most reliable goalscorer and captain Son Heung Min injured, the big-money striker now has to shoulder the responsibility of winning his side some games. A good start will be in this week’s London derby against West Ham, who haven’t started particularly well.
2. Mo Salah
For Mo Salah, this weekend will signal a return to a former home. Salah played for Chelsea early on in his career, but he never got a fair chance to show his talents at the Stamford Bridge. Now, he is counted among the very best to have played in the Premier League itself. He has troubled Chelsea on many occasions, having 10 goal contributions against them. Everything suggests that he will do it again this weekend and thus those who have him in the Fantasy Premier League could massively profit.
1. Erling Haaland
Erling Haaland was in outstanding form during the international break. Fantasy Premier League managers who have him can expect good news too, as Manchester City takes on bottom-side Wolves this weekend with the Norwegian striker in ridiculous knick. 7 league games have resulted in 10 goals and given Wolves’ record so far this season, this is only set to multiply.
