<h2><strong>Best FPL Players for Gameweek 20</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Mohamed Salah (£13.5m) – Liverpool</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Manchester United (H)</strong></p>
<p>I am running out of words for Mohamed Salah as he continues to break record after record.</p>
<p>He now has 17 goals and 13 assists and is the fastest player ever to have broken the 200 points mark in FPL.</p>
<p>The Egyptian looks well on course to beat his own record of 303 points in a single season.</p>
<p>Liverpool have another nice home game against Manchester United and one where attacking returns just look inevitable.</p>
<p>Arne Slot's team are again the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (55%) for Gameweek 20.</p>
<p>Salah is at 53% to score at any time (third) and of course he has immense assist threat too.</p>
<p>It's extremely difficult to bet against him right now for the captaincy.</p>
<p>According to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> he is the highest predicted scorer (8.5 points) this gameweek.</p>

<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.8m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture:  West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Erling Haaland has been poor value this season but he did score last gameweek and has another great fixture this week.</p>
<p>Regardless of his form he is still capable of a huge haul at any given moment and Manchester City will be buoyed by their win last gameweek - their first since Gameweek 15.</p>
<p>West Ham have conceded the fourth most goals (35) with an xGC (expected goals conceded) of 32.5 (fourth worst).</p>
<p>City have netted 32 goals (fifth) with an xG of 35.02 (fourth) and will surely score at least two against a leaky Hammers defence.</p>
<p>They are also the second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (50%).</p>
<p>Haaland is sure to come back to his best at some point and City do have the fixture this week for him to add to his 14 league goals.</p>
<p>The Norwegian is the favourite again to score at any time (60%) and he is the second highest predicted scoring player (7.5 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) - Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Leicester City (H)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins has seven goals and three assists this season and hasn't had the best campaign.</p>
<p>In fact he was benched in the previous four games before <strong>Jhon Duran</strong> was sent off.</p>
<p>However he looks absolutely nailed to start this one with Duran and <strong>Morgan Rogers</strong> suspended, and he should get a fair amount of playing time too.</p>
<p>Leicester are a very leaky side and new manager Ruud Van Nistelrooy doesn't appear to have improved them at the back.</p>
<p>They have conceded the second most goals (41) with the third worst xGC (36.4).</p>
<p>Villa are the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (48%) and Watkins will be the one most likely to get them.</p>
<p>Watkins is also the second favourite to score at any time (55%) and he wont get a better chance to prove himself and get himself back in the first team.</p>

<h2>Low owned options</h2>
<h3><strong>Anthony Gordon (£7.3m) – Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Spurs (A)</strong></p>
<p>Anthony Gordon has been on a good run of form, with one goal and three assists in the last four at the time of writing.</p>
<p>He is only 13% owned at present and seems to finding a bit of form after a slow start.</p>
<p>His underlying numbers have been decent all season - with an xG of 5.6 and an xA of 3.3, he now seems to improving his output too.</p>
<p>Newcastle United have a good fixture from an attacking point of view as they take on Spurs.</p>
<p>Ange Postecoglou's side have conceded 27 goals (thirteenth) with an xGC of 29.1 (sixth worst).</p>
<p>Newcastle will get plenty of chances in this game and Gordon has goals and assists in his locker.</p>
<p>Eddie Howe's side also have a good run of fixtures, as after the visit to Tottenham they have Wolves (H), Bournemouth (H), Southampton (A) and Fulham (H).</p>
<div id="attachment_69738" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-69738" class="size-full wp-image-69738" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/FFStuffImage-2024-12-29T225728.270.jpg" alt="Anthony Gordon Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Gabriel Martinelli (£6.8m) - </strong><strong>Arsenal</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Brighton (A)</strong></p>
<p>The injury to Bukayo Saka has given a few Arsenal midfielders a boost in terms of minutes and FPL prospects.</p>
<p>Gabriel Martinelli is only 4.2% owned and has played 90 minutes in the last three matches.</p>
<p>He can play on both the left or right as part of a front three, and should get a plenty of minutes until Saka is back.</p>
<p>The Brazilian has 21 goals and 14 assists in the previous two seasons so we know he can be a great asset when given the minutes.</p>
<p>Arsenal play Brighton next who have the eighth worst xGC (26.5) and it's a game where the Gunners will be strong favourites.</p>
<p>Going forward Mikel Arteta's side have good fixtures from an attacking perspective.</p>
<p>After Brighton they play Spurs (H), Villa (H), Wolves (A), Manchester City (H), Leicester (A) and West Ham (H).</p>
<p>I can see Martinelli doing really well over this run and could easily outperform teammate <strong>Martin Ødegaard</strong> who seems to be the most popular Arsenal midfielder managers are opting for.</p>
<p>Martinelli is also much cheaper than the Norwegian, and has higher goal threat.</p>
