<h2>FPL Gameweek 21 best players: Predicted points</h2>
With Son Heung-min (£9.8m) and Mohamed Salah (£13.2m) jetting off on international duty, the top five predicted point scorers for this week include some interesting names.
Buyako Saka (£9.0m) is expected to score the most points, with Arsenal hosting Crystal Palace in Gameweek 21.

Two Chelsea midfielders are included in the top five, thanks to the Blues&#8217; home fixture against Fulham.
Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes (£8.2m) is also in the mix, as Spurs travel to Old Trafford, alongside the returning Ivan Toney (£7.9m) at home to Nottingham Forest.

<h2 style="text-align: left;">Best FPL team for Gameweek 21</h2>
Erling Haaland (£13.9m) is currently missing from the AI team through injury, as are Son and Salah due to their international commitments. This allows money to be spread around the squad to a greater degree than usual.
Subsequently there was no debate over the selection of premium defender Trent Alexander-Arnold (£8.5m) &#8211; who we now know is <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/trent-alexander-arnold-injury-latest-should-he-be-sold-in-fpl-and-who-are-the-potential-replacements">injured</a>.
Joining him is another ultra-attacking fullback in Pervis Estupinan (£4.9m) at home to Wolves.
With Arsenal fancied for a clean sheet, the AI pairs Ben White (£5.6m) with goalkeeper David Raya (£4.9m) at the back.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61056" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-12.22.13.jpg" alt="" width="794" height="650" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-12.22.13.jpg 794w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-12.22.13-300x246.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-12.22.13-768x629.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-12.22.13-610x499.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 794px) 100vw, 794px" />
There is also heavy investment in midfield, as there is room for a couple of expensive picks in Saka and Fernandes. The Arsenal man is also given the captain&#8217;s armband for the Gunners&#8217; fixture against Palace.
Raheem Sterling (£7.1m) makes the cut for Chelsea&#8217;s game against Fulham, alongside Blues teammate Cole Palmer (£5.6m), who is entrusted with the vice captaincy off the back of an 18-point haul last gameweek.
The versatile Pascal Gross (£6.4m) completes the midfield five, as the German continues to be a key figure going forward for Brighton, with nine attacking returns this season.

Ivan Toney (£7.9m) is back from a long-term suspension, and the England striker couldn&#8217;t have asked for a much better fixture to make his return, as Brentford host Nottingham Forest.
The final space in the team goes to Ollie Watkins (£8.8m) who will be hopeful of adding to an impressive 20 attacking returns this season, as Aston Villa travel to Goodison Park.
<img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="alignnone wp-image-61061 size-full" src="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-13.12.02.jpg" alt="" width="796" height="646" srcset="https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-13.12.02.jpg 796w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-13.12.02-300x243.jpg 300w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-13.12.02-768x623.jpg 768w, https://cms.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/01/Screenshot-2024-01-09-at-13.12.02-610x495.jpg 610w" sizes="(max-width: 796px) 100vw, 796px" />
Predicted points are liable to change based on injury news and other factors, so Hub members should check <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/my-team/ai-teams">My Team</a> closer to deadline to see an up-to-date squad.
Jarrod Bowen (£8.1m) for example was one of the top picks this gameweek prior to news of his <a href="https://www.fantasyfootballhub.co.uk/jarrod-bowen-injury-latest-should-he-be-sold-in-fpl-and-who-are-the-potential-replacements-2023-24/">injury</a>, and it&#8217;s safe to assume that Haaland would be included too, if he were passed fit for Gameweek 21.
