<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Best FPL players for Gameweek 27</strong></h2>
<h3 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.4m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Manchester United (H)</strong></p>
<p>Since his return from injury in Gameweek 22, Erling Haaland has managed three goals and two assists, which by his standards is average.</p>
<p>However, his stats have still been great as expected, so another big haul won't be far away.</p>
<p>Manchester City welcome bitter rivals Manchester United to the Etihad in Gameweek 27, and this has typically been a brilliant fixture for Pep Guardiola.</p>
<p>The bookmakers have City as strong favourites and the second most likely to score 2.5+ goals (52%).</p>
<p>City have also scored the third most goals (59) with an xG of 53.49 (third).</p>
<p>Erling Haaland will be among the top captain options again this week, and he will no doubt get plenty of chances to score.</p>
<p>The Norwegian usually doesn’t need many, and his 17 goals from an xG of 19.57 (first) tell us that.</p>
<p>He is nailed to start, on penalties and is the clear talisman for Manchester City. The Norwegian currently has a goal involvement rate of 51% in the games he has played.</p>
<p>Haaland is at 63% (first) to score at any time, and is the highest predicted scoring player (8.7 points) for Gameweek 27 according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) – Aston Villa</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Luton (A)</strong></p>
<p>Ollie Watkins is having a ridiculously good season. He is now the highest scoring player in the game, with 14 goals and 15 assists, and he doesn’t look to be slowing down.</p>
<p>Aston Villa have one of the best fixtures of the season against newly promoted Luton. The Hatters have conceded 51 goals (eighteenth) and have the worst xGC (52.3) in the league.</p>
<p>Villa have scored 56 goals (fourth) with an xG of 49.89 (fourth) so this looks like another routine win for Unai Emery’s team, on paper at least.</p>
<p>Watkins is the talisman for Villa, and has been for the last few seasons. He has a goal involvement rate of 52%, and plays for one of the most attacking teams in the league.</p>
<p>The forward is nailed to start and play 90 minutes, and has both goal and assist threat. He is at 43% to score at any time also.</p>
<p>He won’t get many better fixtures this season to add to his attacking returns tally than Luton.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Bukayo Saka (£9.2m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Sheffield United (A)</strong></p>
<p>Bukayo Saka is having his best season by far for Arsenal. He now has 13 goals and eight assists, and is the second highest scoring player in the game, just one point behind Watkins.</p>
<p>He has registered an xG of 11.2, and an xA of 8.5.</p>
<p>Arsenal have another very kind fixture this week against bottom of the table Sheffield United.</p>
<p>The Blades have conceded the most goals (66) with an xGC of 51.5 (nineteenth).</p>
<p>This doesn’t look like a good time to play the Gunners – they have scored 25 goals (first) in the last six games, and over the season have netted 62 goals (second) with an xG of 54.43 (second).</p>
<p>It’s no surprise that Mikel Arteta’s side are the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (58%) in Gameweek 27.</p>
<p>Saka has scored eight goals in his last seven league games, with four double-digit hauls in his last five. He will be among the best captain options this week for sure.</p>
<p>The 22-year-old is at a healthy 47% to score at any time, and our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a> ranks him as the fourth highest predicted scoring player (6.0 points).</p>

<h3><strong>Dominic Solanke (£7.1m) – Bournemouth</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (A)</strong></p>
<p>Dominic Solanke is another one having his breakthrough season in the Premier League. The 26-year-old has 14 goals and three assists, with an xG of 14.6 and an xA of 1.4.</p>
<p>His stats have been great too, and indicate that he will continue to score at a similar rate.</p>
<p>Bournemouth play one of the worst defensive teams in the league in Vincent Kompany’s Burnley. They have conceded the second most goals (58) with an xGC of 46.5 (sixteenth),</p>
<p>Andoni Iraola will be strong favourites to win this one, and should score a few too looking at the stats.</p>
<p>Solanke is nailed to start, on penalties, and the talisman for the Cherries. He has started every game this season, and has a plum fixture to add to his goals tally.</p>
<p>He is also rated at 46% to score at any time, and is one of the best forward options for Gameweek 27.</p>
<div id="attachment_62248" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-62248" class="size-full wp-image-62248" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/Dominic-Solanke-Stats.jpg" alt="Dominic Solanke Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Son </strong><strong>Heung-min </strong><strong>(£9.6m) – Spurs</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Crystal Palace (H)</strong></p>
<p>Son Heung-min has 12 goals and six assists in 21 starts. He has registered an xG of 7.0 and an xA of 4.8.</p>
<p>Spurs have a good fixture this week, as they welcome Crystal Palace to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The Eagles have conceded 44 goals (fourteenth) with an xGC of 38.3 (eight).</p>
<p>Ange Postecoglou's side have now scored 52 goals (sixth) with an xG of 43.92 (eighth) and with their attacking nature they will create plenty of chances in this game.</p>
<p>They also have a full roster of attackers, with <strong>James Maddison (£7.9m)</strong> back fit now too.</p>
<p>Son is nailed to start, and is the first choice penalty taker. He is great at left wing and as the number 9, and will likely play in both these positions during the game.</p>
<p>Spurs are the fourth favourites to score 2.5+ goals (40%) this gameweek too.</p>
<p>The South Korean is at 41% to score at any time, and he is also the second highest predicted scoring player (6.9 points) according to our<a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions"> Hub AI Tool.</a></p>
