<h2>Buy: Neto</h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: GK</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: £4.5m</li>

</ul>
West Ham’s Alphonse Areola (£4.2m) is still the most popular goalkeeper in FPL despite not keeping a clean sheet since Gameweek 7. 
His low price explains this, but if you’re looking for greater flexibility in switching between goalkeepers, you might consider Everton’s Jordan Pickford (£4.4m) or Neto, Bournemouth’s No.1.
The picture for Bournemouth now looks rosier, culminating in a famous 3-0 win at Manchester United on Gameweek 16, which saw Bournemouth keep a third shutout in five games (the last two coming on the road). 
They&#8217;ll fancy another this weekend at home against Luton, with Neto producing at least three saves to go with his clean sheets in Bournemouth&#8217;s last two outings.
Luton have the third-lowest xG in the Premier League this season. Subsequent opponents Nottingham Forest and Fulham are 17th and 14th respectively. 
You&#8217;ll just need to remember to bench or sell Neto before December 30th, when Bournemouth play Tottenham and then Liverpool.

<h2>Sell: Kaoru Mitoma</h2>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Position: MID</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Price: £6.5m</li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1">Teams selected by %: 22.7</li>
</ul>
After ending last season strongly, Kaoru Mitoma was an early FPL favourite and rewarded owners with three goals and three assists from Brighton&#8217;s opening six matches. Then came a barren run (nine appearances &#8211; no goals and two assists), which also involved injury issues.
Roberto De Zerbi has tentatively reintroduced him back into the Seagull&#8217;s starting lineup &#8212; completing the full 90 minutes once across Brighton&#8217;s three most recent Premier League games &#8212; but Brighton play Arsenal this weekend. 
Then there’s the Crystal Palace game – the closest Brighton have to a derby in the league &#8211; followed by Tottenham, whose confidence is returning.
Mitoma is still the fifth-most popular midfielder in FPL. You may suspect this is driven by FPL managers who have already given up on their teams. Especially with so many in-form options who are significantly cheaper. 
Abdoulaye Doucouré (£5.6m) and Alex Iwobi (£5.3m) are about £1m less. Even Anthony Gordon (£6.2m) is still cheaper.

<h2>Bench: Any Manchester United player you own</h2>
Manchester United’s recent record at Anfield is horrific. They haven’t won there since 2016, and have lost their last two Liverpool away days by an aggregate score of 11-0.
Any FPL manager who signed Andre Onana (£4.8m) or Harry Maguire (£4.3m) pre-November will have been rewarded. But Liverpool have scored in every single match this season, averaging three goals a game at Anfield.
Even United’s attacking prospects are dampened by the suspension of Bruno Fernandes (£8.3m), who has created more than twice as many chances (47) as any teammate in the league this season.
