<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nottingham Forest are on a poor run of form. </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">They’ve only won two of their last six league games and lost theor FA Cup semi-final against Manchester City.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This week, Nuno Espirito Santo’s side take on Leicester at home, with a Fixture Difficulty Rating of 1. Forest are chasing Champions League qualification, therefore every point will be key.</span></p>
<p><a href="https://www.squawka.com/"><b>Squawka</b></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> have taken the three most-owned Nottingham Forest players and one differential to see whether they’re worth taking a punt on for GW36.</span></p>

<h4><b>Chris Wood</b></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£7.1m</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Teams selected by: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">28.9%</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Chris Wood is Nottingham Forest’s highest FPL point scorer this season, accumulating 188 points so far, an average of 5.7 points per game.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;"> The 33-year-old has netted 19 times in 33 appearances, while also providing three assists.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The New Zealand forward is scoring 0.63 goals per 90 despite only taking 1.93 shots, and has the highest shooting accuracy of any Forest player with 500+ minutes at 56.9%. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With Leicester already conceding 76 goals so far this season, Wood could well get his 20th league goal this season, making him a great captaincy choice for Gameweek 36.</span></p>

<h4><b>Mats Sels</b></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£5.2m</span></h4>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Teams selected by: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">20.2%</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The second-highest owned Forest asset is actually their man between the sticks. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Mats Sels has accumulated 143 FPL points so far this season, averaging 4.1 points per game. The 33-year-old has made 35 appearances in the league this season, conceding 42 goals and keeping 13 clean sheets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Sels is averaging 3.17 saves per 90, with 2.4 of those saves coming from shots inside the box. While Forest haven&#8217;t kept a clean sheet in their last five Premier League games, Sels has still been in decent form himself. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Leicester come into this fixture having only scored four goals in their last 10 games.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_72714" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-72714" class="wp-image-72714 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041151.081.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041151.081.jpg 798w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041151.081-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041151.081-768x626.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px" /><p id="caption-attachment-72714" class="wp-caption-text">Matz Sels&#8217; <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<h4><b>Nikola Milenkovic</b></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£5.2m</span></h4>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Teams selected by: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">18.0%</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Forest’s third-highest owned asset at 18% is Nikola Milenkovic, who has accumulated 134 points so far this season, averaging 3.9 points per game. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 27-year-old has made 34 appearances in the Premier League this season, scoring four times and contributing to 13 clean sheets.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Milenkovic is a key figure in the Forest defensive unit, making 1.26 tackles per 90, 0.74 interceptions per 90 and 5.62 clearances per 90, so is pretty much nailed to start.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He also wins 2.82 aerial duels per 90, with only Wood winning more, which makes him a goal threat from set-pieces.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_72712" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-72712" class="wp-image-72712 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041050.125.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041050.125.jpg 798w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041050.125-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041050.125-768x626.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px" /><p id="caption-attachment-72712" class="wp-caption-text">Nikola Milenkovic&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>

<h4><b>Anthony Elanga</b></h4>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Price: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">£5.4m</span></h4>
</li>
<li aria-level="1">
<h4><b>Teams selected by: </b><span style="font-weight: 400;">8.6%</span></h4>
</li>
</ul>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With only three gameweeks left of the FPL season, some managers will be looking to take some risks by selecting players with low ownership. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Anthony Elanga fits the bill with the Forest man in just 8.6% of teams, scoring 139 points this season, behind only Wood and Sels among his teammates.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 23-year-old winger is usually involved in Forest attacks, averaging 0.24 goals per 90 and 0.36 assists per 90. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">He’s taking 1.61 shots per 90 and has the second-highest shot accuracy of 52.5%, only behind Wood. Elanga has also created 0.32 big chances per 90, the highest of any Forest player with 1000+ minutes this season.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">If you are looking for a differential pick this week, Elanga at below 10% ownership set to face the second worst defence in the Premier League could be the way to go.</span></p>
<div id="attachment_72713" style="width: 808px" class="wp-caption alignnone"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" aria-describedby="caption-attachment-72713" class="wp-image-72713 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041110.764.jpg" alt="" width="798" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041110.764.jpg 798w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041110.764-300x244.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/05/FFStuffImage-2025-05-08T041110.764-768x626.jpg 768w" sizes="(max-width: 798px) 100vw, 798px" /><p id="caption-attachment-72713" class="wp-caption-text">Anthony Elanga&#8217;s <a href="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/opta/" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c="1" title="FPL Stats by OPTA - Player and Team Stats">stats</a></p></div>
