FPL Gameweek 14 Ones to watch

A home encounter with Aston Villa makes Kieran Trippier (£5.8m) one of the best alternatives to Erling Haaland (£12.2m) for the captaincy in Gameweek 14 of Fantasy Premier League.

The Newcastle United right-back has produced returns in all six of his appearances at St James’ Park this season, averaging 7.0 points per match.

In particular, Trippier can prove a standout option for the armband for managers wanting to go against Haaland, who remains a doubt for Manchester City’s match with Leicester City this weekend.

Pep Guardiola's update on Friday suggests Haaland will, however, remain the runaway captain pick for Gameweek 14.

Haaland was captained by over 6.7million managers in Gameweek 13, rewarding their faith with two goals and 26 points. 

He has averaged 10.3 points per match in his debut campaign, with just a single blank in 12 appearances.

Mohamed Salah (£12.8m) provides another strong option for Liverpool’s home match with Leeds United.

The Egyptian has an outstanding record against his visitors, scoring five goals and collecting 38 points in his two Anfield meetings with Leeds.

Midfield options

Elsewhere in midfield, Bruno Fernandes (£9.8m) and Wilfried Zaha (£7.6m) also have favourable home matches.

Manchester United's Fernandes welcomes West Ham United on the back of a 10-point return in his previous outing at Old Trafford.

He has created 18 chances over the last four Gameweeks, more than any other player in Fantasy.

Zaha, meanwhile, hosts a Southampton side who have yet to keep a clean sheet away from home this term.

The Crystal Palace talisman has four goals, an assist and 34 points in his previous five at Selhurst Park.

In-form forwards 

Finally, the forward trio Harry Kane (£11.5m), Ivan Toney (£7.5m) and Aleksandar Mitrovic (£6.8m) can also deliver big hauls.

Kane has blanked once in 11 matches ahead of Tottenham Hotspur’s visit to AFC Bournemouth.

Brentford’s Toney hosts Wolverhampton Wanderers on the back of five goals and 33 points in his last four home appearances.

And Fulham's Mitrovic entertains Everton in prolific form, scoring in three successive Gameweeks.

GW14 deadline: 11:00 BST, Sat 29 Oct
