The Portuguese winger has been glorious when match this season, registering two objectives and 11 assists for Wolves, with 4 of his objective involvements coming in his final 4 video games. He comes up in opposition to a very dreadful Sheffield United defence at residence this weekend and may get a couple of returns.
Certainly, the fixture is so good that there isn’t a excuse for not going triple Wolves in GW26 in case you are utilizing the free hit chip. Hwang Hee-chan (£5.5m) is on penalties and has been in one of the best type of his Premier League profession, scoring 10 objectives and making three assists, whereas Pablo Sarabia (£4.7m) could possibly be a cheeky punt.

Add within the truth he’s on penalties, and he’s a no brainer for Monday’s recreation in opposition to an out-of-form West Ham United.
Rating one of the best strikers within the Premier League proper now
Martin Odegaard (£8.4m)
The plain choose right here is Bukayo Saka (£9.1), however as he’s already in 62 p.c of FPL groups there’s little level in going over why he’s a necessity in your crew; in case you don’t have him, get him in.
Martin Odegaard has considerably gone underneath the radar as an Arsenal fantasy asset, largely as a result of Saka already fills that function for us and there are such a lot of midfield choices on the market. However in every week the place we’re scraping the barrel for gamers the Norwegian can’t be ignored.
The 25-year-old is in type, registering a objective and three assists in his final two matches, whereas he has created an astonishing 29 possibilities with an xA worth of three.46 prior to now seven gameweeks, greater than every other participant within the Premier League.

The Premier League gamers with probably the most assists this season
Phil Foden (£8.1m)
Frustratingly for his homeowners, Phil Foden has blanked within the three video games since his 20-point haul in opposition to Brentford. However he stays a superb choose at a very good worth forward of their journey to Bournemouth.
The England worldwide is effectively on his method to having his most efficient marketing campaign, placing up eight objectives and 7 assists thus far. He’s stepping into higher attacking positions than ever and turning it into possibilities, popping off 70 pictures in 25 video games – amongst midfielders solely Saka (71) has taken extra. He’s additionally created 51 possibilities this time period.
Manchester Metropolis can be damage by the information that Kevin De Bruyne has sustained one other harm and Bournemouth away is way from a gimme, however I defy you to seek out me 5 different midfielders who’re extra important in GW26 than Foden.
We’re additionally assuming you’re going to have Erling Haaland (£14.4m) by some means, therefore why he’s not taking over this spot.
Essentially the most objectives ever conceded in a Premier League marketing campaign
Ollie Watkins (£8.7m)
Virtually half of all FPL managers personal Ollie Watkins, which suggests the opposite half must be very anxious about not proudly owning him forward of GW26.
After enduring a mid-season scoring droop which noticed him get only one objective in seven video games, the Aston Villa striker has scored 4 in his final 4 Premier League video games. His underlying numbers over the previous seven gameweeks have been very wholesome; he’s third within the division for pictures (23) and massive possibilities (7), and fourth for pictures within the field (18) and anticipated objectives (3.6xG).
Nottingham Forest have improved underneath Nuno Espirito Santo, however they often don’t journey effectively whereas Villa are among the finest residence groups within the league.
