Both Enzo Fernandez and Bruno Guimaraes have been popular selections in FPL this season, and the pair have amassed 254 points between them.
Guimaraes however has sustained an injury which could keep him out for a few months, and Chelsea’s fixture list is about to take a turn, leaving both midfielders potentially on the chopping block for many FPL managers.
Squawka have used their <a href="https://www.squawka.com/en/comparison-matrix/">Comparison Matrix</a> to analyse four standout midfield assets who could replace them.
&nbsp;
<h3>Dominik Szoboszlai &#8211; Liverpool</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £6.8m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Teams selected by: 7.6%</li>
</ul>
Dominik Szoboszlai has probably been Liverpool’s best player so far this season, playing every Premier League game he’s been available for.
The 25-year-old has scored 100 FPL points, averaging 4 points per game.
Szoboszlai has netted four times this season, providing two assists and playing 25 league games so far. 
He takes the majority of Liverpool’s free kicks and corners, giving him crucial additional threat from dead ball scenarios.
The Hungarian averages 2 chances created per 90, attempting 5.5 crosses (1.9 successful crosses per 90) and 1.4 shots.
Szoboszlai also has some chance of gaining added points through defensive contributions, averaging 5.2 ball recoveries per 90, as well as taking penalties when Mohamed Salah (£14.0m) is off the pitch
Liverpool’s next five fixtures read as West Ham (H), Wolves (A), Tottenham (H), Brighton (A) and Fulham (H), giving them a favourable run and making at least one of their midfielders/attackers worth owning in the short term.

<h3>Harry Wilson &#8211; Fulham</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £5.9m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Teams selected by: 20.2%</li>
</ul>
Harry Wilson has been one of the best-performing midfielders in the Premier League this season, and has been directly involved in 13 goals in his 26 league appearances.
The 28-year-old has scored 128 FPL points so far this season, averaging 4.9 points per game. 
As Fulham’s talisman this season, Wilson has scored eight goals and provided five assists so far &#8211; an average of 0.4 goals and 0.3 assists per 90 minutes.
He also averages 1.7 shots per 90, with a shot accuracy of 56.75%. 
Fulham’s upcoming fixtures include Tottenham (H), West Ham (H), Nottingham Forest (A) and Burnley (H) &#8211; four of the bottom five. 
Those next four are highly favourable, and only further strengthen Wilson as an excellent and well-priced asset.

<h3>Dango Ouattara &#8211; Brentford</h3>
<ul>
<li>Price: £5.9m</li>
<li aria-level="1">Teams selected by: 1.6%</li>
</ul>
Dango Ouattara joined Brentford in the Summer transfer window for around £42m, becoming a club-record signing.
The 24-year-old has scored five goals and provided five assists in his 21 league appearances this season &#8211; an average of 0.4 goals and 0.4 assists per 90.
Ouattara is also averaging 1.5 shots, getting 0.7 shots on target per 90 and converting 21.74% of those.
He is also averaging 4.8 touches in the opposition box, playing just off of Igor Thiago (£7.1m) and arriving in dangerous areas.
Brentford’s upcoming fixtures read as Burnley (A), Bournemouth (A), Wolves (H), Leeds (A) and Everton (H), making an attacking asset from the Bees look tempting &#8211; especially if you don’t already own Thiago.

<h3>Rayan &#8211; Bournemouth</h3>
<ul>
<li aria-level="1">Price: £5.6m</li>
<li>Teams selected by: 1.8%</li>
</ul>
After joining Bournemouth for a fee of around £24.7m in January to replace the departing Antoine Semenyo (£8.1m), Rayan has quickly bedded in for the Cherries.
The 19-year-old has scored two goals and provided one assist in his first four appearances for the club, picking up 22 FPL points already, averaging 5.5 points per game.
Rayan is averaging 1.6 shots per 90, with 1.1 of those shots hitting the target, and a conversion rate of 40%.
The Brazilian also averages 1.3 successful take-ons per 90, driving his side forward in transition and creating 1.9 chances per 90.
In the short time he’s been in the Premier League, Rayan has already shown his quality and attacking threat, making him an exciting short term punt for Bournemouth’s next three fixtures of Sunderland (H), Brentford (H) and Burnley (A).
