<h2>FPL Gameweek 22 fixtures</h2>
<p>Liverpool top the Hub's <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/fixture-ticker">fixture ticker</a> this week with a prime home game against Burnley.</p>
<p>Spurs rank second, with the weakness of their opponents West Ham overriding their poor form. Thomas Frank's team have won just one league game in their last six.</p>
<p>Newcastle face a resurgent Wolves team at Molineux. While they have picked up five points in their last three, Wolves still rank in the bottom three for expected goals (xG).</p>
<p>Aston Villa host Everton, whose eight clean sheets have come against a surprisingly poor expected goals conceded (xGC) record that ranks in the league's bottom three.</p>
<p>Leeds, Sunderland and Chelsea complete the set of the highest-rated match-ups on the ticker.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 22 predicted points</h2>
<p><strong>Erling Haaland </strong>tops the Hub AI <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">predicted points</a> chart for Gameweek 22, with a score of 7.7 projected against Manchester United (A).</p>
<p>Liverpool's ticker-topping fixture puts fit again <strong>Hugo Ekitike </strong>close behind Haaland, making him an alternative captaincy candidate.</p>
<p>Haaland does however have a strong record against the Red Devils, scoring eight and assisting three in nine matches.</p>
<p><strong>Cody Gakpo </strong>rounds off the top three, highlighting the strength of Liverpool's home game.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 22 team of the week</h2>
<p>It's a 3-4-3 formation for the Hub AI team of the week, with Haaland leading the way as captain.</p>
<p>The full team is as follows:</p>
<p><strong>Alisson - </strong>Liverpool have the second best defence from an xGC perspective (23.0) and Burnley are the second worst attack, with an xG of less than one per game.</p>
<p><strong>Cristian Romero - </strong>Faces a poor West Ham defence who have conceded the most shots from headers. Ranks third among Spurs players for headed attempts (six).</p>
<p><strong>Micky van de Ven - </strong>Part of a Spurs defensive double up. Second among teammates for headed shots (seven) and xG (2.42)</p>
<p><strong>Gabriel - </strong>Arsenal's defence is the best in the league, while Gabriel also carries plenty of attacking threat. Opponents Nottingham Forest fifth worst for shots conceded from set-pieces and sixth worst for headed attempts - both of which could benefit the Brazilian.</p>
