<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL players for Gameweek 20</h2>
<h3>Mohamed Salah (£13.3m) – Liverpool</h3>
Fixture: Newcastle United (H)
Salah has 12 goals and seven assists and he still boasts the second-highest expected goals (xG) overall (11.11) and the fourth-best xA (4.63).
Liverpool play Newcastle at home, which isn't as tough a fixture as it would have been earlier in the season.
The Magpies have really struggled with injuries and have now lost four of their last five league games, conceding 11 goals (second-most), with the worst expected goals conceded (xGC) of 12.7 in the process.
Jurgen Klopp’s side have now scored the second-most goals (39) and have the second-best xGC (38.05). Also with them being at home, I think there will be goals in this game.
The Reds are the second favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (45%) for Gameweek 20.
Despite Salah’s blank last gameweek, he will still be one of the best captain options this week. He is nailed to start, on penalties and has one of the highest goal and assist threats in the league.
He is at 49% to score at any time against Eddie Howe’s side and is also the second-highest predicted points scorer (6.6 points) according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a>

<h3>Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) – Aston Villa</h3>
Fixture: Burnley (H)
Watkins has been underwhelming lately, with only one goal in his last five league games. He has still been putting up good stats though, has a good fixture this gameweek and should come good again soon enough.
The England international has nine goals and nine assists, with an xG of 8.6 and and xA of 2.0.
Villa welcome Burnley to Villa Park in Gameweek 20. Vincent Kompany’s team have been leaky this season, conceding the second-most goals (38) with an xGC of 31.8 (16th).
Villa have scored the second-most goals (40) with an xG of 33.58 (fourth) and have proven they are one of the best attacking sides in the division.
They are the joint second-favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (45%) in Gameweek 20 too, and the Clarets will struggle to keep them at bay.
Watkins has both goal and assist threat and is nailed to start while playing for one of the best attacking teams in the league.
He is at a very healthy 48% to score at any time and will be the favourite to score the most points in this fixture.
He is also predicted to be the highest-scoring forward (5.5 points) for Gameweek 20 according to <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a>

<h3>Son Heung-min (£9.8m) – Tottenham Hotspur</h3>
Fixture: Bournemouth (H)
Son is the second-highest scoring player in the game, with 11 goals and four assists.
Spurs have a good fixture in Gameweek 20 as they play Bournemouth at home. The Cherries have conceded 32 goals (17th) with an xGC of 29.1 (11th).
The North London club have scored in every single league game this season and netted 37 goals (third), with an xG of 30.6 (seventh).
We know we are guaranteed goals and attacking football with this current Spurs side.
They are the third favourites to score 2.5-plus goals (42%) and will no doubt put a few past Andoni Iraola’s team.
Son has both goals and assists in his locker, is nailed to start and on penalties.
The South Korean is the third favourite to score at any time (51%) in Gameweek 20 and looks to be one of the best captain options too.
<a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI</a> ranks Son as the highest-scoring player for predicted points (7.4 points) in Gameweek 20.

<h3>Richarlison (£6.8m) – Spurs</h3>
Fixture: Bournemouth (H)
Richarlison has really hit the ground running in his new number-nine role. He has four goals in four games in that position since returning from injury.
He looks to be nailed playing in that position and with teammate Son going to the Asian Cup after Gameweek 20, his expected minutes should see an increase too.
The Brazilian is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League, with 50 goals and 36 assists over the last six seasons, so if he’s given enough minutes in this attacking side he will be sure to add to those tallies.
He is a great price at £6.8m and has a very plum fixture this week to get more attacking returns.
Richarlison’s underlying numbers have been great too - in only 10 starts, he has an xG of 4.5 and an xA of 0.7, which tells us he will score very well if he carries on getting starts and minutes.
The 26-year-old is 44% to score at any time in Gameweek 20 and and has a 53% chance of a return according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI.</a>
<div id="attachment_60813" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-60813" class="wp-image-60813 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2023/12/Richarlison-Stats-1.jpg" alt="Richarlison's stats" width="798" height="650" />

<h3>Julian Alvarez (£6.8m) – Manchester City </h3>
Fixture: Sheffield United (H)
Alvarez has registered five goals and eight assists. He has an xG 4.29 of and an xA of 4.1.
City have their best fixture of the season in Gameweek 20 as they welcome bottom-of-the-table Sheffield United to the Etihad. The Blades have conceded the most goals (47) with an xGC of 37.5 (second-worst).
They have scored the most goals (43) and have the fourth-best xG (35.87) in the league. On paper, this looks to be one of the most one-sided games this season and the scoreline here could be anything.
City are also at a massive 69% (first) to score 2.5-plus goals, which is the highest it's been this season for any fixture.
Alvarez will very likely play in the number-nine role again, as Erling Haaland (£13.9m) is still not fit enough to feature.
The Argentinian has played the most minutes in the league of the City attackers (1409) and his expected minutes will be as high as ever - and in the number-nine role too. He won't get a better fixture this season.
He is the favourite to score at any time in Gameweek 20 at 59% and is also the first-choice penalty taker in Haaland's absence.
