Must-Have FPL Picks

Chelsea and Aston Villa face off in a high-stakes match this midweek, both off the back of a loss. Chelsea lost 1-0 to Arsenal at the Emirates, while Aston Villa lost 2-0 to Wolves at the Molineux Stadium. Pick players from either side at your own risk.

Liverpool are in strong form (four wins in five games), and for Gameweek 29, they take on Wolves. Virgil van Dijk (£6.1m), Alexis Mac Allister (£6.2m), Hugo Ekitike and (£9.1m) Dominik Szoboszlai (£6.9m) are all good options.

Under Michael Carrick, Manchester United are performing well, with one draw and six wins in his seven games in charge as interim. Newcastle will be a difficult fixture, but the Red Devils are looking better than Eddie Howe’s men. The likes of Bryan Mbeumo (£8.7m), Bruno Fernandes (£10.0m), and Benjamin Sesko (£7.3m) may just continue to deliver for club and FPL managers.

Other Fantasy Football Matchweek 29 must-haves include Everton midfielder Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall (£5.0m), Fulham’s Alex Iwobi (£6.3m), Brentford forward Igor Thiago (£7.2m) Man City’s Rayan Ait-Nouri (£5.7m) and Antoine Semenyo (£8.2m).
