Erling Haaland looked like his usual self when he faced West Ham United in the Premier League last week. He has scored three goals in his last two games, yielding 21 points for the Fantasy Premier League players who still have him in their teams. City will face Brentford away from home next week, which will not be the easiest game for the Cityzens. However, if they are well and truly back in form, they will likely breeze past Brentford, and Haaland may haul once more.

Mohammed Salah did not look his best when Liverpool played against Manchester United last week, but he still managed to score a goal, showing that he could return even when he was not at his best. Liverpool faces Nottingham Forest this week, a team which has been in phenomenal form. It will not be an easy matchup for Liverpool, but given that Mohammed Salah has scored or assisted for Liverpool in each of the last 12 games, it is safe to say that Salah will be more likely than not to give points this week.

Aleksander Isak is one of the most in-form players in the Premier League as of now. The Swedish striker has scored nine goals and provided two assists in his last seven Premier League games. Newcastle United will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 21 of the Fantasy Premier League, and it is quite likely that Isak will haul once again, returning a massive number of points to the people who captain him.

Bruno Fernandes was absolutely phenomenal for Manchester United when they faced their arch-rivals, Liverpool, in the Premier League last week. He controlled the midfield brilliantly, with every United attack going through him. He helped his team seamlessly transition from defence to attack, helping them get a draw. United faces Southampton in Gameweek 21, and if Manchester United come out swinging, Fernandes will likely be at the heart of it.

Cole Palmer is not in the red-hot form he was in before, but he is still doing quite well for Chelsea. He has already managed an impressive 13 goals and seven assists in the Premier League and is not showing signs of slowing down. Chelsea faces Bournemouth at home in Gameweek 21 of the Fantasy Premier League, and this match can end up being a goal fest. Chelsea have not managed to win in their last four games, but if they turn it around against Bournemouth, it is likely that Palmer will be involved in most of the goals.

Savinho has been in incredible form for Manchester City and has inspired the team to return to their best. His dribbling skills and confidence on the pitch are instilling belief in the City squad. Savinho has scored one goal and provided four assists in his last two Premier League games, returning 27 points in just two games. He is owned by just 3.5% of Fantasy Premier League players and can turn out to be a brilliant differential when he faces Brentford.

Jacob Murphy scored three goals and provided five assists in his last six Premier League games. He has been in very good form for Newcastle United but is still owned by just 5.8% of Fantasy Premier League owners. Murphy will face Wolverhampton Wanderers in Gameweek 21, and given the form the Magpies are in, it will most likely end up being a battering, which means Murphy could be picking up a bucket load of points this week.
A brace of penalties from Raul Jimenez (£5.6m) takes him up to eight goals for the campaign ⚽️

Raul Jimenez seems to have found his goalscoring boots and has managed to score three goals in his last two games, helping Fulham salvage a draw in both. He is owned by just 10% of Fantasy Premier League owners and can turn out to be a fantastic differential for Gameweek 21. Fulham faced West Ham, and though they had gotten a new manager, Graham Potter would not have gotten the chance to train with his team properly, and Fulham could have taken advantage of this.

Cody Gakpo has finally found his footing at Liverpool after an underwhelming start to his Premier League career. He scored four goals and provided one assist in his last five league games. He hopes he can continue this form when he faces Nottingham Forest in Gameweek 21. While Forest is in incredible form, and the game will not be a walk in the park for Liverpool, it will not be surprising if Gakpo manages to get on the score sheet against them.

Morgan Gibbs-White has an incredibly tough game coming up in the Premier League, but his form is something that simply cannot be ignored. While he faces Liverpool in Gameweek 21, Gibbs-White scored three goals and provided three assists in his last six Premier League games. He is in fantastic form and is owned by just 4% of Fantasy Premier League owners, which makes him a fantastic differential, and it will not be surprising if he finds himself on the scoresheet against Liverpool.
