<h2 class="p1">Gameweek 27 preview</h2>
The action starts with the lunchtime kick-off at the Etihad, with Manchester City hosting Everton.
I imagine most people will have a captain from this game, with Erling Haaland (£12.0m) being the most predictable option. His ownership unsurprisingly rocketed from 17.2% to 87.4% this week.
However it was teammate Phil Foden (£9.5m) who rewarded owners and the few brave enough to captain him against Brentford doubled his 26 points following his hat-trick.
A defender could be an option but City have kept one clean sheet in the Premier League since the end of October. It’s the hope that kills you - they always seem to concede. 
<h3>Other games and players of interest</h3>
Bournemouth face Fulham at Craven Cottage. Dominic Solanke (£7.8m) is owned by 17.9% of the top 1,000 but this could soon rise again.
The Cherries have extra games and a potential 6-1 over Liverpool from March 3. There are some caveats to this, as it includes the captaincy against Luton counting as an extra game and presumes Liverpool blank in the FA Cup quarter-final weekend and Bournemouth don't. But regardless, it's definitely an effective 4-1 before you get to the cup weekend.
Solanke's ownership was in the mid-30% range not so long ago and I think it's going to climb again.

I’m not sure Mohamed Salah (£11.5m) will be in contention for Liverpool v Burnley. but teammates Darwin Nunez (£9.4m), Diogo Jota (£9.1m), Luiz Diaz (£9.6m) and Trent Alexander-Arnold (£10.0m) are all viable options if you want to go against Haaland. 
Liverpool will be desperate to get back to winning ways after last week's defeat to Arsenal.
As with Salah, I’m not sure if Son Heung-min (£9.7m) will available for a return to action, having played in midweek for South Korea in their elimination from the Asian Cup. He's one to keep an eye on in press conferences.

</ul>
On Sunday it’s West Ham v Arsenal and Aston Villa v Manchester United.
There are plenty of options here - Buyako Saka (£10.4m), William Saliba (£9.0m), Jarrod Bowen (£8.8m), Ollie Watkins (£9.3m) and even Rasmus Hojlund (£9.1m) who I mentioned a few weeks ago has scored in each of his last three games. 
Monday sees the last game of the gameweek with Crystal Palace v Chelsea. Most people own Cole Palmer (£6.5m) considering he’s in 91.7% of the top 1,000 teams.
I would not be looking to bring anyone else in. Chelsea face City at the weekend then have a blank week for the Carabao Cup final, so they’re a hard swerve for me. 
Palace may be of interest, having a single game next Monday against Everton. But with Eberechi Eze (£8.2m) and Michael Olise (£7.9m) injured, they don’t really have any appealing options.
Palace do have a 3-1 over West Ham from Monday which is a 4-1 if you include the captaincy v Everton. They have games against Chelsea, Everton and Burnley - but again who would you pick? No one appeals in the slightest to me. 
Now is the time especially to look at the <a href="https://ffstuff.co.uk/FixtureList.php?GT=Sky&amp;L=PL">FFstuff fixture grid</a> and take advantage of the swings allowing 3-1, 4-2 moves and the like. You can see the Bournemouth swing over Liverpool below.

<h2>Sky points scorers and bonus stats</h2>
Below are the top scorers from last week. It's no surprise to see hat-trick heroes Foden and Matheus Cunha (£7.2m) topping the charts.
Watkins only scored one goal against Sheffield United but did rack up three assists and shots bonus.

Brighton and City players hit double bonus last week. That's maybe not that surprising given they're usually a near guarantee for passing.
Enzo Fernandez (£8.4m) also managed passing and tackle bonus. He’s been really disappointing this season after being almost essential last season.
