<h2><strong>Best FPL players for Gameweek 36</strong></h2>
<h3><strong>Bryan Mbeumo (£8.2m) - Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Ipswich (a)</strong></p>
<p>Bryan Mbeumo has another great fixture next gameweek, and will again be in contention for the captain's armband.</p>
<p>Brentford come up against already relegated Ipswich, and with European football possible next season for Thomas Frank's side, they will be highly motivated.</p>
<p>Ipswich have conceded 76 goals (second most) with an xGC of 69.4 (second-worst).</p>
<p>Brentford are a good attacking side and they will no doubt score at least a few here.</p>
<p>Mbeumo is the talisman for his side, and one of the few attackers in the league who is nailed to start and play 90 minutes every game, as well as being on set-pieces and penalties.</p>
<p>The Bees are the third favourites to score 2.5+ goals (36%) in Gameweek 36 also.</p>
<p>Mbeumo is at 38% to score at any time, and with assist threat and multiple avenues to points, he is a fine option again.</p>

<h3><strong>Omar Marmoush (£7.6m) - </strong><strong>Manchester City</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Southampton (a)</strong></p>
<p>Omar Marmoush has six goals and an assist so far, but has underwhelmed as of late with three blanks in a row.</p>
<p>However, he now has one of the best fixtures of the season against bottom of the table Southampton.</p>
<p>I think his minutes are quite safe for Gameweek 36 as although <strong>Erling Haaland (£14.8m)</strong> was part of the squad last gameweek, he didn't play a single minute. Therefore I don't think the Norwegian is fit enough to start, just yet.</p>
<p>The Saints have conceded the most goals (82) and also have the worst xGC (77.7) in the league.</p>
<p>Manchester City will also be highly motivated, as they want to secure a top four finish, and even have a chance of catching Arsenal in second.</p>
<p>Marmoush should start against Southampton, and he will surely get chances in this game.</p>
<p>He is at a healthy 45% to score at any time and City are clear favourites to score 2.5+ goals (58%) also.</p>

<h3><strong>Chris Wood (£7.0m) - Nottingham Forest</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Leicester City (H)</strong></p>
<p>Chris Wood is enjoying his best ever season in the Premier League, with 19 goals and three assists.</p>
<p>Nottingham Forest have the best fixture of the gameweek as they welcome Leicester to the City Ground.</p>
<p>Nuno Espirito Santo's team will be huge favourites to score a few here, and Wood is sure to get some chances playing as the number 9.</p>
<p>Forest will also be desperate for the win, as they also still have a chance to qualify for Champions League football next season.</p>
<p>Wood is the talisman for his side and the first choice penalty taker. He has a 43% Goal Involvement rate which is by far the highest among his teammates.</p>
<p>He is also among the favourites to score at any time in Gameweek 36 at 49%, and Forest are the second favourites to score 2.5+ goals (44%).</p>
<p>The New Zealand international is also rated as the third fifth predicted scoring player (5.5 points) according to <strong><a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/predictions" data-clevertap-listener="true">Hub AI.</a></strong></p>

<h2>Low Ownership Options</h2>
<h3><strong>Bruno Fernandes (£8.5m) - Manchester United</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: West Ham (H)</strong></p>
<p>Bruno Fernandes has had a good season with eight goals and 11 assists, despite Manchester United struggling as a whole.</p>
<p>Ruben Amorim should play a fairly good side against West Ham and Bruno is one of the most nailed players. He did get rested last week but that was ahead of their second leg against Athletic Bilbao.</p>
<p>I can't see him getting rested much until closer to the Europa League final, if they get there.</p>
<p>Manchester United host West Ham this week who have been poor defensively. They have conceded 59 goals (fourth-most) with an xGC of 52.5 (sixth-worst).</p>
<p>Bruno is clearly the best FPL asset for Manchester United and he has both goals and assists in his locker.</p>
<p>He is also on set-pieces and the first choice penalty taker.</p>
<p>Bruno is also a big differential now so is a fine option for those chasing.</p>
<div id="attachment_72639" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-72639" class="size-full wp-image-72639" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-05T131622.711.jpg" alt="Bruno Fernandes Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>

<h3><strong>Kevin Schade (£5.1m) - </strong><strong>Brentford</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Fixtures: Ipswich (a)</strong></p>
<p>Kevin Schade has had a great season with 10 goals and four assists.</p>
<p>He has now also started every game since Gameweek 23 so his minutes looks pretty secure.</p>
<p>Schade is a great cheap option who shouldn't be hard to afford, and he not only has a great fixture next week but for final last two gameweeks also.</p>
<p>He has an xG of 7.9 and an xA of 1.6 so his underlying numbers are good especially for his price.</p>
<p>Ipswich is a great fixture for him to add to his attacking returns, and he's at an ultra low ownership of just under one percent at the time of writing.</p>
<p>He's exactly the type of differential that can shoot you up the ranks at this time of the season.</p>
<div id="attachment_72646" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-72646" class="size-full wp-image-72646" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-05T144747.715.jpg" alt="Kevin Schade Stats" width="798" height="650" /></p>
