<h2 style="text-align: left;"><strong>Best FPL players for Gameweek 36</strong></h2>
<h3><strong><br />
Cole Palmer (£6.2m) – Chelsea</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Cole Palmer has 20 goals and 10 assists in only 34 starts at the time of writing, and has proven himself to be one of the best FPL options this season.</p>
<p>Chelsea have a fine fixture in Gameweek 36 against London rivals West Ham.</p>
<p>The Hammers have conceded the fourth-most goals (65) and also have the third worst xGC (65.2). They are clearly one of the leakiest sides in the league.</p>
<p>The Blues are likely to score a few here and have been good in the final third – scoring 63 goals (seventh) with an xG of 63.38 (fifth).</p>
<p>They are also at 44% to score 2.5+ goals (fourth) in Gameweek 36.</p>
<p>Palmer will be one of the top captaincy options this week. He is nailed to start, on penalties, and has supplied both goals and assists in abundance.</p>
<p>The 21-year-old has been putting up fantastic stats too with an xG of 14.72 and an xA of 6.23.</p>
<p>Palmer is 45% to score at any time, and our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool</a> has him as the third highest predicted scorer (6.5 points) for Gameweek 36.</p>

<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3><strong>Erling Haaland (£14.1m) – Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Wolves (H)</strong></p>
<p>Erling Haaland is the top scorer in the league once again (21 goals) after scoring from his bench cameo last week. He has recovered from his injury and should be in contention to start next gameweek.</p>
<p>Manchester City have a favourable home fixture against Wolves. On paper, this should be a routine win for Pep Guardiola’s team.</p>
<p>They are unsurprisingly the favourites to score 2.5+ goals (65%) and with City’s attacking talent, they could run up a huge scoreline here.</p>
<p>City have scored the second most goals (82) and have the second best xG (71.18) in the league.</p>
<p>Haaland will very likely be the top scorer come the end of the season, and with no other competitions to play until the season ends, he should get plenty of minutes in the remaining league games.</p>
<p>The Norwegian will be backed to start next gameweek, and he will no doubt have the Golden Boot on his mind too.</p>
<p>He is the favourite to score at any time (70%) in Gameweek 36, and is the highest predicted scoring player (8.2 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3><strong><br />
Bukayo Saka (£9.0m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Bournemouth (H)</strong></p>
<p>After his goal and assist last gameweek, Bukayo Saka reclaimed his spot as the top scoring midfielder in the game.</p>
<p>He now has 15 goals and 12 assists, beating his previous total best returns with three games to spare.</p>
<p>Arsenal have been fantastic both going forward and in defence, and they have a very kind fixture in Gameweek 36 against Bournemouth (H).</p>
<p>The Cherries have conceded 60 goals (fifteenth) with an xGC of 53.0 (tenth) so they will give up chances against Mikel Arteta’s team.</p>
<p>Arsenal have scored the most goals (85) with an xG of 70.2 (third) and they are the second favourites to score 2.5 + goals (58%),</p>
<p>All the signs point towards a big Arsenal win, and Saka is his side's talisman and has the highest Goal Involvement (33%) among his teammates. He is nailed to start, on penalties and has both goal and assist threat.</p>
<p>The England international is also at 46% 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 for Gameweek 36.</p>

<h3><strong>Alexander Isak (£8.3m) – Newcastle United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Burnley (a)</strong></p>
<p>Alexander Isak is having a phenomenal season. In only 23 starts, he has 19 goals and is in contention for the Golden Boot.</p>
<p>Newcastle United have another plum fixture this week as they take on relegation battlers Burnley. The Clarets have conceded the third most goals (70) and have the fifth worst xGC (62.3) in the division.</p>
<p>Eddie Howe’s team will be strong favourites to win this one. They have scored 74 goals (fourth) with an xG of 66.49 (fourth).</p>
<p>Isak is Newcastle’s talisman and one of the first names on the team sheet at present.</p>
<p>The fact that he played the full 90 minutes even as<strong> Callum Wilson (£7.8m)</strong> was brought on in their win over Sheffield United last weekend further solidifies him as a great pick, and is good news for his expected minutes going forward.</p>
<p>Isak is at 46% to score at anytime in Gameweek 36 and the second highest predicted scoring forward (6.0 points) according to our <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions">Hub AI Tool.</a></p>

<h3></h3>
<h3><strong>Kai Havertz (£7.4m) – Arsenal </strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixture: Bournemouth (H)</strong></p>
<p>Kai Havertz is the most in-form player in the league. He has 12 goals and eight assists in total.</p>
<p>Havertz has started every game since Gameweek 23, returning eight goals and seven assists since then.</p>
<p>The German has also accumulated the most FPL points (107) of any player during this period.</p>
<p>His stats have been great too, as he has an xG of 10.86 and an xA of 3.18.</p>
<p>Havertz is no doubt a first team regular now, and as long as the title race is still in will start every game.</p>
<p>Bournemouth at home is a great fixture for him to add to his attacking returns, and he will no doubt get plenty of chances.</p>
<p>The Arsenal forward is at 39% to score at anytime. He has both goal and assist threat and plays for one of the best attacking teams in the league.</p>
