FPL Saturday review: Top midfielder Foden is No 1 target

Phil Foden’s (£8.2m) goal and assist on Saturday helped him to the top of the midfield standings in Fantasy Premier League.

The Manchester City star claimed an 11-point haul in a 4-0 win over Southampton, taking him to 62 points for the season.

Foden has blanked only once in his last six matches, scoring five goals and supplying three assists in that time.

Although Man City visit Liverpool before their Blank Gameweek 12, Foden has emerged as the No 1 target in Fantasy ahead of Gameweek 11.

He has earned 108,000 new owners, more than double the total of any other player.

Cancelo also on top

Foden’s team-mate Joao Cancelo (£7.3m) climbed to the top of the defender standings with an 18-point haul against Southampton.

The Portuguese’s goal, assist and clean sheet mean he has delivered double-figure hauls in three of his five home matches this term. 

Man City’s schedule from Gameweeks 13-16 before the FIFA World Cup starts suggests both Cancelo and Foden will play a major part in managers’ plans.

They have three home matches, against Brighton & Hove Albion, Fulham and Brentford, in addition to a trip to Leicester City.

Mount avoids Chelsea rotation

Mason Mount (£7.6m) produced his best score of the season in Graham Potter’s first home league match in charge of Chelsea. 

The midfielder was one of only four players who avoided being rotated from Chelsea's starting XI against AC Milan in midweek. He supplied two assists in a 3-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers, collecting 12 points.

Mount assists Havertz

Owned by only 3.5 per cent of managers, Mount was among a trio of overlooked midfielders to deliver a double-figure return.

Newcastle United’s Bruno Guimaraes (£5.6m) scored twice to earn his season-high 15 points in a 5-1 win over Brentford.

AFC Bournemouth’s Philip Billing (£5.3m) extended his good form under Gary O’Neil with a goal in their 2-1 win over Leicester City.

Midfielder Billing has scored in three of his side’s last four matches, earning 29 points in that run. 

Don't overlook Lloris

Hugo Lloris (£5.5m) was another big differential in Gameweek 10. 

He claimed his third clean sheet of the campaign and was awarded the maximum three bonus points for a 10-point total following Tottenham Hotspur’s 1-0 win at Brighton.

Lloris is only two points off the top of the goalkeeper standings, yet is owned by a mere 4.8 per cent of managers.
