If you’re struggling to decide on which FPL move to make, [a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team/transfers?via=flashscore" target="_blank"]get your AI Recommended Transfers right now[/a].[/p][h2]Best Midfielder: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/cherki-mathis/vm0eu2V3/"]Rayan Cherki[/a] vs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/brentford/xYe7DwID/"]Brentford[/a] (H), [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/crystal-palace/AovF1Mia/"]Crystal Palace[/a] (H) - 10.8 predicted points[/h2][p]Rayan Cherki is the form midfielder for [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a], with over 250,000 new owners ahead of their double gameweek. Plenty of managers are even making the switch from team-mate [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/semenyo-antoine/r1Gz1yPk/"]Antoine Semenyo[/a], who has blanked in the last four gameweeks.[/p][p]In that same spell, Cherki has racked up four goal involvements, one goal and three assists. He has the underlying numbers to suggest that these returns are sustainable, sitting joint-top with [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/haaland-erling/UmV9iQmE/"]Erling Haaland[/a] for shots over the last four gameweeks, with 17.[/p][p]His assist threat is equally compelling, ranking second among all players for key passes in this time, with 19, including three big chances created. He’s taking his fair share of corners and free kicks, bringing plenty of routes to fantasy points.[/p][h2]Midfield Gem: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/doku-jeremy/lMHcYK4f/"]Jeremy Doku[/a] vs Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (H) - 10.1 predicted points[/h2][p]While Rayan Cherki is seeing the majority of the transfer traffic, Jeremy Doku is being overlooked from the Manchester City midfield. He’s their highest-scoring fantasy asset over the last four gameweeks, ranking third overall among all players.[/p][image alt="Rayan Cherki vs Jeremy Doku" id="089f3433-8b4d-4a6b-a4fc-3f331acfd050" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="950df565-5805-4886-96b4-765f00c189b9" original-width="800" original-height="650" /][p]In this time, he’s produced three goals and one assist, starting four successive games for his side, with his efforts proving pivotal to beating [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/burnley/z3dmTMMO/"]Burnley[/a] and rescuing a point against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/everton/KluSTr9s/"]Everton[/a] last time out. His minutes look secure, and he’s a big differential, in just 3.6% of teams.[/p][h2]Best Forward: Erling Haaland vs Brentford (H), Crystal Palace (H) - 15.3 predicted points[/h2][p]Erling Haaland is once again the best captain pick for Gameweek 36, topping the AI rankings ahead of a pair of home games for Manchester City. It’s a no-brainer for those fantasy managers holding the Triple Captain chip to activate it on him this week.[/p][p]He has the recent form, scoring in three successive games, taking him to a leading tally of 25 goals for the campaign. His underlying numbers are equally impressive, where he leads the way for shots in the box (16) and expected goals (2.87 xG) in the same period.[/p][image alt="Erling Haaland's last three gameweeks" id="c83b863d-c86e-43c3-9223-f4582d773898" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="204dba9e-8ee5-416c-a6c7-c564592815f7" original-width="800" original-height="650" /][p]He also has the pedigree against his upcoming opponents, having scored a combined 21 points against them in the reverse fixtures. He scored the only goal in the win at Brentford, while producing a brace against Crystal Palace in December. [/p][h2]Forward Gem: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/mateta-jean-philippe/nsFUj6GN/"]Jean-Philippe Mateta[/a] vs Everton (H), Manchester City (A) - 5.7 Predicted Points[/h2][p]While most of the double gameweek hype is focused on Manchester City players, there are plenty of differentials to consider in Crystal Palace’s ranks, including striker Jean-Philippe Mateta. The Eagles striker is 8.4% owned among fantasy managers.[/p][image alt="Jean-Philippe Mateta's FPL stats" id="31739463-34b2-4d3e-8aa3-dab6f71ad6bd" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="687cfbfe-2cc0-4713-a0c1-9403f88ffdbb" original-width="800" original-height="650" /][p]His minutes have been inconsistent in recent weeks, as Oliver Glasner’s side concentrate on progression to the UEFA Europa Conference League final. However, he did score a brace from the bench against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/newcastle-utd/p6ahwuwJ/"]Newcastle[/a] in Gameweek 32, taking him to 10 goals for the season.[/p]
