Best Midfielders in Fantasy Premier League this week - FPL Gameweek 22 (GW22)

Bruno Guimarães (Newcastle, £7.2m)

Bruno Guimarães has put up excellent numbers in the Premier League this season from the central midfield position. He has scored 8 and assisted another 3 from midfield in just 20 Premier League appearances, thus making him an excellent option in Fantasy Premier League. Newcastle will have one of the easiest fixtures in Gameweek 22 with Wolves away, and this makes Bruno Guimarães one of the best FPL midfielders for this week with a huge scope for points.


Morgan Rogers (Aston Villa, £7.6m)

Morgan Rogers started the Premier League season on a slow note, but he soon started to put one star performance after the other for Aston Villa. In fact, he's played a huge role in Villa's fantastic run in the Premier League so far. Rogers has 11 goal involvements so far in the league, and also scored against Spurs last week. Villa face Everton at home this EPL Weekend, which is a decent fixture with a great opportunity for good returns.


Bukayo Saka (Arsenal, £10.2m)

Arsenal will be facing a Nottingham Forest side who have struggled a lot recently in Gameweek 22. The thought of facing a winger like Saka who's full of tricks and skills would be nothing less than a nightmare for their defenders at this moment. Thus, Saka stands out as one of the best FPL midfielders for this week due to Forest being weak right now and Mikel Arteta's Arsenal being in fantasy form.


Florian Wirtz (Liverpool, £8.2m)

Florian Wirtz is slowly improving with each passing game for Liverpool, and it may not be long before we see his best version that made him famous at Xabi Alonso's Bayer Leverkusen. The German attacking midfielder recently scored in Liverpool 4-1 FA Cup victory against Barnsley as well. They next face Burnley at home, which is a game where Wirtz can make a huge impact.


Cole Palmer (Chelsea, £10.4m)

Chelsea's game against Brentford at home in Gameweek 22 will be the first EPL match in-charge of their new manager Liam Rosenior. We have frequently seen a new manager bounce take place in the Premier League, and Brentford might be the next victim of it despite their great form. This makes Cole Palmer an excellent FPL option for this week. In fact, it's possible that he could thrive under Rosenior, so transferring him early might be smart.


These were our best midfielders in Fantasy Premier League (FPL) for Gameweek 22. All these players probably won't fit in a single team due to their huge prices, so just pick your preferred choices according to your remaining FPL team budget and future transfer plans. Also, comment down your opinions on our GW22 best FPL midfielders list. It's goodbye from us then, We will be seeing you soon for our pick of Best midfielders for Gameweek 23.
