Erling Haaland (Manchester City, £15.1m)

Michael Carrick has been announced as Manchester United's new caretaker manager till the end of the season. Thus, Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side are now in a dangerous position of suffering a new manager bounce this Premier League weekend. However, that doesn't take away the fact that Utd's defense this season has been quite disappointing. Thus, Erling Haaland could do serious damage in the Manchester derby, and is included in our best FPL attackers this week list.


Hugo Ekiteke (Liverpool, £8.9m)

Hugo Ekiteke has arguably been Liverpool's best player this season. In fact, Arne Slot should be thankful to him as the Dutch coach might've already been sacked by the club had it not been for Ekiteke's performances in certain games. The French striker recently recovered from injury, and played and scored in Liverpool's FA Cup game against Barnsley. With Burnley at home in Gameweek 22, Hugo Ekiteke is undoubtedly one of the best FPL forwards for this week.


Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa, £8.8m)

Ollie Watkins is currently one of the most in-form strikers in the Premier League at the moment. Thus, it is one of the best times right now to have him in your Fantasy Premier League team. Aston Villa are a magnificent team at home, and they'll be facing Everton this Premier League weekend who have been in mixed form this season. The fixture is undoubtedly a really attractive one for Watkins to end up giving you huge returns.


Nick Woltemade (Wolves, £7.3m)

Yoane Wissa recently started Newcastle's mid-week Carabao Cup game against Pep Guardiola's Manchester City side. Thus, we believe Nick Woltemade is almost certain to start when Newcastle face Wolves away in Gameweek 22. This instantly makes Woltemade one of the best FPL forwards for this week, as Wolves have one of the worst defenses in the Premier League and thus Woltemade has a huge chance of getting you solid points. We suggest you go for him.


Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Leeds, £6.0m)

The biggest lesson Dominic Calvert-Lewin has taught everyone this season is to never give up. He was once seen as one of the most promising young strikers in Englishman football during his time at Everton, but his career was severely affected by several injury issues. He has now rediscovered his true talent at Leeds, Having scored 9 and assisting another in 19 Premier League games. Leeds face Fulham at home next, which is a great fixture for DCL to earn you great returns.
