<h2><strong>Best FPL midfielders Gameweek 2</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><br />
Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brentford (H)</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Salah showed last gameweek why he is the king of FPL with a goal and assist on the opening weekend.</p>
<p>Salah's goal meant it was the ninth time he's scored on the first day of the Premier League, which is a new record.</p>
<p>After some minor uncertainty around his role under new manager Arne Slot, it doesn't look like much has changed.</p>
<p>He will be the talisman for Liverpool and get plenty of minutes and attacking returns.</p>
<p>The Reds have another nice fixture next gameweek as they welcome Brentford to Anfield.</p>
<p>Liverpool scored 86 goals last season (third) with an xG of 90.73 (first) and it looks like they will achieve similar numbers again.</p>
<p>The Egyptian is secure for minutes, on penalties and has both goals and assists.</p>
<p>The 32-year-old is the second highest predicted scoring player overall in Gameweek 2 (8.1 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Cole Palmer (£10.5m) – Chelsea</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (a)</strong></p>
<p>Cole Palmer started last season at £5.0m and finished as the highest scoring player in the game, with an incredible 244 points from 22 goals and 13 assists.</p>
<p>Palmer is integral to this Chelsea team and a elite player, so will no doubt get plenty of goals and assists again.</p>
<p>The Blues had a tough opening game, and therefore it was hard to gauge anything from their performance.</p>
<p>In Gameweek 2 they have a much easier fixture, as they take on Wolves (a) who conceded 65 goals (fifth most) with an xGC of 67.2 (fifth-worst)</p>
<p>Enzo Maresca's side may take a while to fully click, but they have the quality of players at their disposal and should be more than good enough to score a few against Gary O'Neil's side.</p>
<p>Palmer is nailed to start, on penalites and has both goals and assists in his locker.</p>
<p>He is the third highest predicted scoring midfielder (6.6 points) for Gameweek 2 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong>Eberechi Eze (£7.0m) – Crystal Palace</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Eberechi Eze had his best season to date in 2023/24. He scored 11 goals and created five assists in 27 appearances.</p>
<p>He looked especially good in the second half of the season once he returned to full fitness after numerous injuries.</p>
<p>He was very unfortunate to come away with a blank in Gameweek 1. He scored a fantastic free kick which should have stood, and managed four shots in the box with an xG of 0.44.</p>
<p>Eze will no doubt be a brilliant FPL option this season.</p>
<p>Crystal Palace have a decent home game against West Ham in Gameweek 2 and Palace will be favourites to win this one.</p>
<p>Eze is on all set-pieces including penalties, and has high goal and assist threat. This is a good home fixture for him.</p>
<p>Our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a> agrees as it ranks him as the second highest predicted scoring midfielder (6.9 points) for Gameweek 2.</p>

<h3><strong>Kevin De Bruyne (£9.5m) – Manchester City </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Ipswich (H)</strong></p>
<p>Kevin De Bruyne should start this game, given a few of the Manchester City midfielders are still catching up with match fitness.</p>
<p>He played 90 minutes in Gameweek 1 so doesn't look to have any injury issues, and with a full week's rest should get plenty of minutes again.</p>
<p>Even with limited playing time last season, De Bruyne still managed four goals and 10 assists in only 15 starts.</p>
<p>City have one of their best fixtures of the season as they take on Ipswich at home.</p>
<p>Pep Guardiola's team are by far the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (67%) against Kieran McKenna's men.</p>
<p>This will very likely be a long night for the Tractor Boys and their toughest fixture of the season.</p>
<p>The Belgian has proven over the years to be an elite FPL asset, and when he is on the pitch there aren't many better.</p>
<p>He is predicted to score the four most points among midfielders (6.4 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>
<div id="attachment_66206" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66206" class="size-full wp-image-66206" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FFStuffImage-87.jpg" alt="Kevin De Bruyne stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Son </strong><strong>Heung-Min </strong><strong>(£10.0m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Everton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Tottenham have another plum fixture this week as they take on Everton at home.</p>
<p>The Toffees conceded three goals last gameweek and looked far from their watertight defensive selves.</p>
<p>This is a great fixture for Son who will likely be the talisman for Spurs again.</p>
<p>Ange Postecoglou's side only play to attack, and although Everton won't be easy to break down I can't see them keeping Spurs at bay.</p>
<p>They are actually the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (45%) for Gameweek 2, and if they do score there is a high chance Son will be involved in one way or another.</p>
<p>The South Korean is nailed to start, takes some set-pieces, and is also on penalties.</p>
<p>He is the sixth highest predicted scoring midfielder (6.1 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>
<div id="attachment_66207" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66207" class="size-full wp-image-66207" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FFStuffImage-88.jpg" alt="Heung-Min Son Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>
