<h2><strong>Best FPL midfielders Gameweek 3</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><br />
Mohamed Salah (£12.5m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Manchester United (a)</strong></p>
<p>Mohamed Salah already has two goals and one assist, and he is showing no signs of slowing down.</p>
<p>Liverpool look just as good under new manager Arne Slot as they did under his predecessor.</p>
<p>The Reds come up against arch rivals Manchester United this week - a fixture in which they do well in historically.</p>
<p>Salah has 11 goals and four assists in the last nine league games against Manchester United.</p>
<p>United don't look to have improved much since last season going by the first two games, and I would be very surprised if Liverpool don't score a few here.</p>
<p>They are the second favourites (38%) to score 2.5+ goals also, and the Egyptian is the second highest predicted scoring midfielder (6.9 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: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>Cole Palmer got off the mark in style last gameweek with a goal and three assists (17 points).</p>
<p>He is clearly still the best asset for Chelsea and will continue to rack up goals and assists.</p>
<p>The Blues have a nice home fixture against struggling Crystal Palace and Chelsea will be strong favourites to win this one. They are the joint second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (38%)</p>
<p>Palmer is the first name on the team sheet for Enzo Maresca and is on penalties and set-pieces.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old is a good captain shout for this week also.</p>
<p>He is the highest predicted scoring midfielder (7.0 points) for Gameweek 3 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>
<div id="attachment_66408" style="width: 1007px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66408" class="size-full wp-image-66408" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FFStuffImage-100.jpg" alt="Cole Palmer Stats" width="997" height="812" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£10.0m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brighton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Bukayo Saka produced one goal and two assists in his first two games, and has another good fixture to add to those tallies.</p>
<p>Arsenal started from where they left off last season with wins in their opening two games. They will challenge Manchester City for the title again.</p>
<p>Brighton have also won their opening two games and looked really good, but Arsenal are a fantastic team going forward and I can see them scoring at least two against the Seagulls.</p>
<p>The bookmakers agree and have the Gunners as the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (48%) in Gameweek 3.</p>
<p>Saka is nailed to start, on penalties and can score and assist.</p>
<p>The England international is also on set-pieces and had the highest Goal Involvement (33%) among his teammates last season.</p>
<p>According to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> he is the third highest predicted scoring midfielder (6.8 points) for Gameweek 3.</p>

<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Bryan Mbeumo (£7.0m) – Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Southampton (H)</strong></p>
<p>Bryan Mbeumo is looking like a fantastic option right now, seeing as <strong>Ivan Toney (£7.5m)</strong> looks to be moving away from the club.</p>
<p>Toney hasn't played the first two games and Thomas Frank did tell us that it was due to ''interest from others clubs''.</p>
<p>This means Mbeumo will be the first choice penalty taker, and it will also increase his expected minutes. If Toney does end up leaving then it makes the Frenchman one of the best value players in the game.</p>
<p>We saw what Mbeumo did last season in Toney's absence, registering seven goals and three assists in the first 15 games before his injury.</p>
<p>Brentford have one of their best fixtures of the season as they take on Southampton (H).</p>
<p>The Saints have been poor so far, and Mbeumo will surely get plenty of chances at points in this game.</p>
<div id="attachment_66410" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-66410" class="size-full wp-image-66410" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/FFStuffImage-2024-08-26T185253.272.jpg" alt="Bryan Mbeumo Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Morgan Gibbs White (£6.5m) – Nottingham Forest</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H)</strong></p>
<p>Morgan Gibbs-White is one of the most reliable picks in the game.</p>
<p>He is nailed to start, will play 90 minutes most games and is the first choice penalty taker.</p>
<p>Gibbs-White has registered five goals and 12 assists in his last two seasons so is great value at his price.</p>
<p>Nottingham Forest aren't prolific in front of goal but they have a very kind fixture against Wolves (H) who just conceded six goals to Chelsea.</p>
<p>The Forest man is also on some set-pieces too, so has various avenues to points.</p>
<p>Nuno Espirito Santo's team will be the favourites to win this one, and his star player looks the most likely to be among the points.</p>
