He’s the current armband favourite among the fantasy community.[/p][p]This is helped by a 12-day absence of fixtures for Manchester United, given their lack of involvement in the FA Cup or Europe; meanwhile, Aston Villa have their Europa League Round of 16 tie against LOSC sandwiching this fixture.[/p][p]Fernandes has produced four consecutive double-digit hauls at Old Trafford under [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/carrick-michael/phM8NElP/"]Michael Carrick[/a], with his side winning on each of those occasions. He’s amassed two goals and four assists in those appearances, taking him to 21 goal involvements for the campaign.[/p][image alt="Bruno Fernandes vs Bukayo Saka stats 2025/26" id="ac6e7744-28db-4278-bc52-dfc87c3f6df1" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="d32011b1-4317-4df9-b163-01b17d5c408c" original-width="800" original-height="650" /][h2]Midfield Gem: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/saka-bukayo/08NLEo06/"]Bukayo Saka[/a] vs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/everton/KluSTr9s/"]Everton[/a] (H) - 6.4 predicted points[/h2][p]Bruno Fernandes may lead the way among AI predictions among highly owned midfielders, but [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/arsenal/hA1Zm19f/"]Arsenal[/a]’s Bukayo Saka is currently in differential territory, in just 8.1% of sides, but predicted to outscore the Manchester United midfielder this weekend.[/p][p]He’s a player in form, producing two goals and one assist in the last four gameweeks alone, making it 14 attacking returns for the season. Set pieces continue to provide a valuable source of points, where he remains first choice on penalties. [/p][h2]Best Forward: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/haaland-erling/UmV9iQmE/"]Erling Haaland[/a] vs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/west-ham/Cxq57r8g/"]West Ham[/a] (A) - 7.2 predicted points[/h2][p]Manchester City striker Erling Haaland is a familiar face at the top of the AI predictions as the best captain pick for FPL Gameweek 30, but there are growing concerns among engaged fantasy managers about his minutes in this fixture.[/p][p]Haaland has had some fitness issues in recent weeks and City’s Champions League knockout tie against [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/real-madrid/W8mj7MDD/"]Real Madrid[/a] hangs in the balance for Tuesday night, having lost 3-0 in the first leg at the Bernabeu on Wednesday, with Haaland playing around 80 minutes. [/p][p]We cannot ignore his performances thus far, though, with two goals and two assists from his last four league games. That takes him up to 29 goal involvements from 27 starts this season, involved in all three goals in the reverse fixture back in December.[/p][image alt="Erling Haaland's stats this season" id="d88dff06-e892-4dd7-9ae0-a8a4dea403e4" credit-line="Fantasy Football Hub" guid="18a0f3ec-eb4b-4a98-96e0-c6c2109e7340" original-width="800" original-height="650" /][h2]Forward Gem: [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bowen-jarrod/pW170H9K/"]Jarrod Bowen[/a] vs [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/team/manchester-city/Wtn9Stg0/"]Manchester City[/a] (H) - 4.9 predicted points[/h2][p]Sticking with this fixture, and West Ham striker [a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/player/bowen-jarrod/pW170H9K/"]Jarrod Bowen[/a] remains the fourth-highest scoring forward in the game, with only 7.6% of managers opting to select the English winger in their lineups.[/p][p]He’s delivered three assists in the last four gameweeks, taking him to 14 goal involvements for the season. He’s hit the two-point defensive contribution bonus on five occasions in this campaign, including twice in the last four gameweeks alone.[/p][h2][a href="https://www.flashscore.ca/soccer/england/premier-league/"]Follow the Premier League with Flashscore[/a][/h2]
