<h2><strong>Best FPL players for Gameweek 19</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Kieren Trippier (£6.9m) – Newcastle </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)</strong></p>
<p>Trippier has another great fixture in Gameweek 19.</p>
<p>Newcastle welcome Nottingham Forest to St James' Park, who have scored only 17 goals (18th) with an expected goals (xG) tally of 18.93 (17th).</p>
<p>Eddie Howe’s side have conceded 21 goals (third) with an expected goals conceded (xGC) record of 22.23 (fifth) so are a solid defence and Forest will do very well to score against them.</p>
<p>They are the favourites to keep a clean sheet in Gameweek 19 at 50% and are also third favourite to score 2.5-plus goals (38%).</p>
<p>This is another fixture in which Trippier could get defensive and attacking returns and with him being on of set-pieces too, he will be the best defender to own again in Gameweek 19.</p>
<p>The right-back is also predicted to be the highest-scoring defender (5.3 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (a)</strong></p>
<p>Salah has netted 11 goals and seven assists so far this season. He has the second-highest xG (10.6) in the league with and the fourth-highest expected assists (xA) at 4.3.</p>
<p>Liverpool have another great fixture in Gameweek 19 as they take on Burnley. The Clarets have been leaky, conceding the second-most goals (36) and an xGC of 28.7 (15th).</p>
<p>The Reds on the other hand have been one of the best teams going forward. They have scored 36 goals (third) with an xG of 35.42 (second).</p>
<p>Unsurprisingly they are also the favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (48%) in Gameweek 19.</p>
<p>Salah is again going to be one of the best captain options this week. He comes up against a weak defence and is one of the few players who is likely to start every game during the December fixture crunch.</p>
<p>He is also the third favourite to score at any time (50%), is very likely to start and has both goals and assists in his locker. There aren’t many more reliable options in the game.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> also ranks him as the second-highest predicted points scorer (6.8 points) for Gameweek 19.</p>

<h3><strong>Dominic Solanke (£6.8m) – Bournemouth</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Fulham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Solanke is having a fantastic season. He has already scored eight goals and assisted one, with an xG of 8.2 and an xA of 0.87.</p>
<p>He is the clear talisman for Bournemouth and his underlying numbers have been very impressive.</p>
<p>The Cherries have a good fixture in Gameweek 19 against Fulham at home. The Cottagers have conceded 29 goals (15th) with an xGC of 31.8 (18th) so do give up a lot of chances.</p>
<p>Andoni Iraola’s team will be favourites to win this given they are at home and Solanke is the one most likely to score and pick up the most points.</p>
<p>He is another player who is good for minutes, is on penalties and has both goals and assists in his locker.</p>
<p>The 26-year-old also has one of the highest goal involvement percentages (43%) in the league.</p>
<p>Solanke is at a healthy 40% to score at anytime and is the second-highest among forwards for predicted points (4.9) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>

<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£9.0m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Saka has five goals and eight assists this season, with an xG of 5.2 and an xA of 5.7. He has been one of the most consistent players in the game.</p>
<p>Arsenal have a fantastic fixture this week as they welcome London rivals West Ham to the Emirates. The Hammers have been really poor at the back, conceding 30 goals (16th), with an xGC of 29.3 (16th).</p>
<p>Mikel Arteta’s team have scored 35 goals (fourth) with an xG of 32.36 (fifth) and are sure to add to these numbers against West Ham.</p>
<p>The Gunners are the second favourites to score 2.5-plus goals in Gameweek 19 and there is a high chance Saka will be involved in one way or another.</p>
<p>Saka is their talisman and currently has the highest goal involvement (38%) among his teammates. He is also one of the first names on the manager's team sheet.</p>
<p>He won't get many better fixtures this season to add to his attacking returns.</p>
<p>Saka is at 28% to score at any time in Gameweek 19 and is the third-highest predicted points scoring player overall (6.1) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a>.</p>
