<h2>FPL Gameweek 27: Teams and fixtures to target</h2>
<p>Spread betting odds, where available, are taken from Hub partner site <a href="https://www.notonlyfpl.co.uk/">Not Only FPL</a>, which uses Spreadex.</p>
<p>These will change throughout the week, so check our Ultimate Guide closer to the deadline for an up-to-date picture.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>⚽ Target for goals: Chelsea, Manchester City and Arsenal</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chelsea</strong>: 2.65 v Burnley (A)</li>
<li><strong>Manchester City</strong>: 2.31 v Newcastle (H)</li>
<li><strong>Arsenal</strong>: 1.89 v Spurs (A)</li>
<li><strong>Liverpool</strong>: 1.81 v Nottingham Forest (A)</li>
</ul>
<p>Chelsea are scoring plenty of goals at the moment, but dropped points against Leeds last week as their concentration slipped.</p>
<p>Manchester City’s new 4-2-2-2 formation is working well, providing <strong>Erling Haaland</strong> with a little more support - and now we’re in the business end of the season where City tend to become relentless.</p>
<p>Arsenal have dropped too many points recently and the last thing they want to do is to give Manchester City any hope. Spurs away is never an easy fixture for them.</p>
<p>It’s difficult to predict how Nottingham Forest will fare under another new manager. Vítor Pereira started off well for Wolves, and could potentially do the same, or maybe he won’t last very long either.</p>

<h3>💪 Clean sheets: Chelsea, Crystal Palace and Arsenal</h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Chelsea</strong>: 45% v Burnley (H)</li>
<li><strong>Crystal Palace</strong>: 41% v Wolves (H)</li>
<li><strong>Arsenal</strong>: 41% v Spurs (A)</li>
</ul>
<p>Burnley will always be the plum fixture, but the Clarets beat Crystal Palace last week and Chelsea struggle to keep clean sheets.</p>
<p>On paper, Wolves should be a comfortable game for Palace - however all has not been well at the club lately.</p>
<p>Despite a new manager bounce for Spurs, if anyone can grind out a 0-1 it’s Arsenal.</p>

<h2>FPL Gameweek 27: Players to target</h2>
<p>Here are my top five players to target with their opponents' weaknesses in mind:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>🥇 <strong>João Pedro (v Burnley)</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Target: Big chances, zonal match-up and shots in the box</strong></p>
<p>Chelsea have the best attacking stats in the league while Burnley have the worst defensive stats, and this fixture is projected to have the most goals.</p>
<p>Burnley concede a high volume of big chances and shots in the box, with the most shots coming from wide areas.</p>
<p>Pedro leads Chelsea for shot volume. He’s well positioned to benefit from the zonal weakness and he’s on a hot streak.</p>
<div id="attachment_77741" style="width: 850px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img aria-describedby="caption-attachment-77741" class="wp-image-77741 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/02/playerstats-Joao-Pedro-bordered-4.jpeg" alt="" width="840" height="690" /></p>
<p id="caption-attachment-77741" class="wp-caption-text">Joao Pedro's stats<span style="font-size: 16px;">   </span></p>
</div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h3>🥈 <strong>Mohamed Salah (v Nottingham Forest)</strong></h3>
<p><strong>Target: Big chances, zonal match-up and set-pieces</strong></p>
<p>Liverpool’s attacking stats are reasonable and Nottingham Forest’s defensive stats leave a lot to be desired, although that could change with the new manager.</p>
<p>Forest won’t have much time on the training pitch to fix some of their weaknesses, which include leaking big chances, conceding from wide areas and defending set-pieces.</p>
<p>Salah has gone under-the-radar so far given how high the bar is but the Egyptian has been quietly plugging away.</p>
<p>He’s been taking corners, and will benefit from the zonal match-up as well as the other weaknesses.</p>
