DF: Erik Pieters (£4.3m, 6.0% TSB) - I'm doubling down on Erik after a 12 point haul when I shouted him for week 37. A clean sheet for Burnley could see Nick Pope win the Golden Glove for the first time and few...
...would bet against them adding to their 15 clean sheets for the season against a Brighton side who have only scored 5 goals in 8 games since football resumed.
MF: David Silva (£7.4m, 7.5% TSB) - Maybe the worst kept secret in the FPL Community currently, it's widely expected that Silva will lead the Citizens out for his final home game in a sky blue shirt, despite the fact that will be no fans in attendance.
With double figure hauls in his past two starts - both at home - the stars could align for one more magical performance from the Spanish wizard.
FW: Harry Kane (£10.9m, 12.2% TSB) - If anyone loves the end of the season, it's Harry Kane. Few will forget the maulings he gave Leicester and Hull in back to back weeks on his way to the golden boot in 2016/17, single handedly winning mini-leagues for many.
Injury has marred this season for the England frontman but he looks keen to end on a high, having scored 4 goals in his previous 2 games. Palace have been dreadful since the restart, only above...
...Norwich in the time since lockdown and shipping over 2 goals a game, all of which could point to another HurriKane on the horizon.

DF: Digne (£6.1m) - Not much needs to be said of the flying Frenchman's ability to provide points, having laid on 4 goals and 13 assists in his two seasons so far at the club.
Everton have a relatively comfortable run in their next 5, with 4 fixtures against teams they would be hoping to replicate their opening day clean sheet against.
MF: Havertz (£8.4m) - After a tough start, Havertz has been dumped by a lot of frustrated managers, but Lampard opted to give him a start in the Carabao cup in midweek, which may prove a master stroke as the German went on to...
DEF: Lamptey (£4.5m) - As a team, Brighton passed the eye test against Chelsea, who were hugely flattered by a 3-1 score line, and few stood out like the young right back. Playing as a RWB in front of a back 3, Lamptey had plenty of room to roam and looked lively all evening,...
...eventually nabbing an assist by providing the final pass behind Trossard’s long range equaliser.
As the new season begins I wanted to start a new series where I use my tactical knowledge as a football coach and apply it to FPL. We will take a look at the skills and roles of players and how it affects the FPL output of themselves and their teammates.
Part 1: Fulham
The majority of this thread will focus on Arsenal’s players since they are the most interesting FPL assets. But I wanted to share my view on how Fulham looked in this game to give you an idea of how they might perform this season. To summarize their attack:
