Ahead of GW18 in the Premier League, we have analysed the best picks for your FPL squad this weekend – Mohammed Kudus leads the way as West Ham welcome a weakened Manchester United.
FPL Picks For GW18
Mohammed Kudus – West Ham (£6.7m)
The Ghanaian international has hit the ground running in east London, contributing to nine goals in 21 appearances for the Hammers.
In his most recent Premier League appearance, the former Ajax midfielder was on fine form against Wolverhampton Wanderers – bagging a first half brace.
In eight Premier League starts Kudus has contributed with eight goals (5G+3A) and has averaged a total of 4.6 FPL points per match.
West Ham take on Manchester United during GW18 of the Premier League and give the recent form of the Red Devils – Kudus could have a big say in the match.
Diego Carlos – Aston Villa (£4,4m)
Aston Villa have been of the surprise packages this season, as the Villains sit third in the table and are yet to lose a home fixture in the Premier League.
Brazilian defender, Diego Carlos, had been ruled out of action due to injury, but is now a regular starter under Unai Emery.
At £4.4m, the stalwart defender is a shrewd selection for GW18, as Aston Villa welcome Sheffield United to Villa Park.
Diego Carlos played a huge role his sides most recent league fixtures, as the Villains beat Arsenal and Manchester City – keeping a clean sheet on both occasions.
Eberechi Eze – Crystal Palace (£6m)
The Crystal Palace star has endured a tough start to the season, after repeated injuries have ruled Eze out of six Premier League matches already.
During his absence, the Eagles have failed to win a single league match and Eze came on in their last fixture – helping his side to a 2-2 draw with Manchester City.
In nine Premier League starts, the 25-year-old has contributed with four goals and is also the designated penalty take for Roy Hodgson’s side.
Crystal Palace welcome Brighton to Selhurst Park in GW18 and the Seagulls are yet to keep a clean sheet in the Premier League.
Nicolas Jackson – Chelsea (£6.9m)
The Chelsea striker has come under scrutiny in his opening season at Stamford Bridge, despite scoring seven goals in 16 league appearances.
This criticism has been largely down to the number of missed chances Jackson has accumulated this season, missing 11 in the league.
However, after scoring in Chelsea’s last Premier League match, the 22-year-old will be full of confidence in GW18 against Wolves.
Gary O’Neil’s side are coming off a 3-0 defeat to West Ham and have conceded 29 goals in the opening 17 league matches this season.
