Captain Palmer or Joao Pedro? FPL team of the week

Mohammed Salah, Liverpool, £14m - Nottingham Forest (a)

Is Salah back as an FPL option?

He's had a terrible season by his standards and is only the 41st-ranked midfielder in FPL but...

In the four games since his return from the Africa Cup of Nations, the signs are there that a haul is imminent.

Salah's had 14 shots in that time (more than anyone else in the league), 12 in the box, three big chances yet no goal to show for it. He does have three assists.

Forest have been flakey to say the least this season and Liverpool are hitting a bit of form.

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9.8m - Everton (a)

Fernandes has been fantasy gold dust since his return from injury in gameweek 21 so don't let his blank at West Ham last time out put you off.

The Portuguese has 44 points in those six games and there's not even a penalty in there. By contrast, Cole Palmer has the same amount of points in six games but with four penalties.

Fernandes' potential is off the charts and Everton have only one clean sheet in their past seven.

Cole Palmer (captain), Chelsea, £10.6m - Burnley (h)

He might have relied on penalties for his recent surge in form but that is what makes Palmer such a great FPL asset in the first place.

If you're chasing points in your mini-league, Palmer is the best differential with just a 15% ownership.

And Burnley at home... well it doesn't get much better!

Antoine Semenyo, Manchester City, £7.9m - Newcastle (h)

Any worries that Semenyo's production might suffer from his move to City, with so many forward options, have been unfounded.

He's scored in both his home matches and now takes on a Newcastle side who have conceded eight in their past three games.
