<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL players for Gameweek 21</h2>
&nbsp;
<h3>Ollie Watkins (£8.9m) – Aston Villa</h3>
Fixture: Everton (a)
Ollie Watkins is now the highest-scoring forward in the game, with nine goals and 11 assists.
He has been one of the most consistent forwards so far, and plays for one of the best attacking teams too.
Aston Villa travel to Goodison Park in Gameweek 21 to take on Everton, who have been good at the back this season.
However, Villa have scored the second most goals (43) with an expected goals (xG) of 36.74 (sixth) and will be favourites for this one.
Watkins has the highest Goal Involvement rate (43%) this season from his teammates, and we can see from his goals and assists this season that he is an all round forward.
The Villa man is one of the few attackers in the league who is nailed to start, and he should play the full 90 minutes.
The England forward is actually the second favourite to score at anytime (45%) in Gameweek 21, so will be one of the best options this gameweek.
Watkins is also the second highest predicted scoring forward (4.8 points) for Gameweek 21 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a>

<h3>Bukayo Saka (£9.0m) – Arsenal </h3>
Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)
Bukayo Saka has six goals and eight assists this season, with an xG of 6.8 and an xA of 6.4.
His goal last gameweek was his first attacking return since Gameweek 16, but his underlying numbers have been decent.
Arsenal have another good fixture this week, as they welcome Crystal Palace to the Emirates.
The Gunners have been on a bit of a poor run, losing their last two league games, but they have a good fixture in Gameweek 21 to get back to winning ways.
Mikel Arteta’s team have scored 37 goals (sixth) with an xG of 37.66 (fifth) and they are the joint-favourites to score 2.5+ goals in Gameweek 21 (40%) also.
Saka remains Arsenal’s talisman and with a 39% Goal Involvement rate which is the highest in the squad. Saka boasts both goal and assist threat, and is on set pieces too.
He is also the first choice penalty taker, and is nailed to start.
The England international is also at a healthy 34% to score at any time in Gameweek 21, and is the highest predicted scoring player overall (6.2 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a>
<div id="attachment_61026" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-61026" class="size-full wp-image-61026" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Bukayo-Saka-Stats-1.jpg" alt="Bukayo Saka Stats" width="798" height="650" />

<h3>Cole Palmer (£5.6m) – Chelsea</h3>
Fixture: Fulham (H)
Cole Palmer has been the bargain of the season. He now has eight goals and five assists, with an xG of 6.5 and an xA of 3.3.
His stats have been phenomenal, and those akin to an £8.5m to £9.0m midfielder.
Chelsea have another kind fixture next gameweek against London rivals Fulham (H). The Cottages have conceded 35 goals (seventeenth) with an xGC of 35.7 (eighteenth) so are one of the leakiest sides in the division.
Mauricio Pochettino’s side have scored 34 goals (seventh) with an xG of 38.7 (third) so are likely to get a fair few opportunities in this match.
They also have the home advantage, and are the third favourite to score 2.5+ goals (36%).
Palmer has been Chelsea’s best attacker this season, and is currently one of their most nailed players. He is also the first choice penalty taker, and subsequently he has both goals and assists in his locker.
He also now has an impressive 43% Goal Involvement rate this season which is by far the best among his teammates, and one of the highest in the league.
The 21-year-old is rated at 36% to score at any time in Gameweek 21, and our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI tool</a> fancies him as the third-highest predicted scoring player (5.7 points).

<h3>Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) – West Ham</h3>
Fixture: Sheffield United (a)
Jarrod Bowen is having his best ever season, with 11 goals and two assists. He has registered an xG of 7.7 and an xA of 2.4.
Bowen may well be injured for Gameweek 21 however - keep an eye on our <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/premier-league-predicted-lineups/">predicted lineups</a> ahead of the deadline.
West Ham have one of the most favourable fixtures of the season, as they take on Sheffield United who are rooted to the bottom of the league. They have conceded the most goals (49) with an xG of 39.7 (nineteenth).
David Moyes’ side have had no trouble scoring with 33 goals (eighth) and an xG of 28.56 (eleventh) and Bowen is their top scorer and talisman.
He is one of the most nailed-on attackers in the league, and his underlying numbers and output show him to be one of the best options in the game.
He won't get many better opportunities to add to his attacking returns tally this season.
Bowen is playing as the forward for his team, and is rated at 33% to score at any time. The England international is also the second highest predicted scoring player (5.9 points) overall according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a>.

<h3>Ivan Toney (£7.9m) – Brenftford</h3>
Fixture: Nottingham Forest (H)
Ivan Toney makes his comeback this gameweek after serving his betting ban.
His arrival will be a welcome one, as Brentford have struggled since losing Bryan Mbeumo (£6.8m) to injury.
They haven't won a single game since the Cameroon international has been absent.
Brentford have a good fixture in Gameweek 21 as they play Nottingham Forest at home. Nuno Espirito Santo's team have conceded 35 goals (seventeenth) with an xGC of 30.4 (tenth).
The Bees have scored 26 goals (fifteenth) with an xG of 33.38 (ninth) so on the whole should have scored a lot more than they have so far.
There is no doubt Ivan Toney should help them in that department.
He is a proven Premier League goal scorer, and netted 20 goals and four assists last season with an xG of 18.74 and an xA of 3.72. He is nailed to start, and the first choice penalty taker.
Toney has a fantastic fixture against Nottingham Forest to kick off his 2023-24 season. He is at 44% to score anytime and is the fourth-highest predicted scoring player (5.2 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a>
