Captain Semenyo and go big in defence - FPL team of week

2 hours ago 27

Bruno Fernandes, Manchester United, £9.9m - Newcastle (a)

Is Fernandes a must-pick for the rest of the season? He's got four double-digit returns in seven games.

His 59 points since returning from injury in week 21 is the most of any player.

Antoine Semenyo (c), Manchester City, £8.2m - Nottingham Forest (h)

In the same bracket as Fernandes is Semenyo. Keeps starting, keeps scoring.

Every Manchester City player carries a slight question mark as they enter a period that also involves Newcastle away in the FA Cup, two legs against Real Madrid and the Carabao Cup final against Arsenal.

But it's also impossible to second-guess Pep Roulette so start Semenyo with confidence - Fernandes is my vice-captain if he doesn't play.

Harry Wilson, Fulham, £6m - West Ham (h)

Wilson's now the fourth-highest-scoring midfielder and at just £6m still.

He takes on West Ham this week, who just conceded five goals at Liverpool, and you'll want to eye up Burnley at home in gameweek 31 too.

Marcus Tavernier, Bournemouth, £5.3m - Brentford (h)

Another player returning from gameweek 28's team and, at this price, how can you resist?

A team-high four shots last week and a big chance created, Tavernier ended up with bonus points and an assist.

He has a lot of routes to points for a £5.3m midfielder and faces a Brentford side that conceded three - and should possibly have been more - at Burnley.

Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall, Everton, £5m - Burnley (h)

KDH is the forgotten budget gem after his long injury, but he's got three returns in four games and is always a good shout for defensive contribution points.

This home match against Burnley is too good to pass up.
