He’s averaging over five points per game, having hit the two-point defensive contribution bonus in three of four games.[/p][image alt="Muharemovic stats" id="664ae37c-0b07-4da6-abef-78ab842041ec" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="f754a2bd-87c1-4ded-82fc-e2162061431b" original-width="1080" original-height="810" /][h2]Best Midfielder: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/gibbs-white-morgan/beZNT1bB/"]Morgan Gibbs-White[/a] vs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/coventry/GOvB22xg/"]Coventry City[/a] (H) - 5.9 predicted points[/h2][p][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/nottingham/UsushcZr/"]Nottingham Forest[/a] have the fixture of the weekend when they entertain promoted Coventry City in Gameweek 5.
