What stands out

Tavernier leads the way this gameweek as a high-value differential following his recent form. Gross remains a reliable engine for Brighton, consistently finding space in the final third. Mbeumo offers significant upside against a fragile Manchester United defensive unit, making him an essential pick for those targeting goals. While Ødegaard is a proven creator, his lower projected points reflect Arsenal’s current tactical adjustments. Prioritize Tavernier for potential value, but keep Mbeumo in your starting lineup to capitalize on the defensive vulnerability of his opponent.
