Phil Foden (£8.4m) is among three Manchester City players included in the best XI for Gameweek 36 of Fantasy Premier League.

The midfielder is his side’s top-scoring player in home matches ahead of their encounter with Wolverhampton Wanderers this weekend.

Foden has amassed 113 of his 199 points this season at the Etihad Stadium, scoring eight goals and supplying six assists.

He is named in a side that lines up in a 3-4-3 formation, with Erling Haaland (£14.1m) handed the armband and Cole Palmer (£6.2m) named as vice-captain.

Mark Flekken (Brentford) £4.7m

A visit from Fulham gives the Brentford goalkeeper the chance to extend his improving run of home form. Flekken has kept a clean sheet in each of the Bees’ last two matches at the Gtech Community Stadium, collecting 18 points. 

Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool) £8.4m

Liverpool’s right-back offers multiple routes to returns against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. Alexander-Arnold has blanked just twice in 10 home starts this season, averaging 6.3 points per match in those encounters thanks to a goal, four assists and five clean sheets.

Gabriel (Arsenal) £5.4m

The Arsenal centre-back boasts huge potential at both ends of the pitch at home to AFC Bournemouth. Gabriel has helped the Gunners keep a league-high 16 clean sheets in 2023/24, while his 26 shots in the box rank second among all defenders in Fantasy.

Josko Gvardiol (Man City) £5.0m

Man City’s Croatian is the most-bought defender in the Gameweek, transferred in by 130,000+ managers ahead of Friday's 18:30 BST deadline. Gvardiol has combined two goals and an assist with three clean sheets in his last six matches to collect 44 points. 

Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) £9.0m

His goal and assist against Spurs last weekend took the Arsenal winger to 214 points, making 2023/24 his best ever season in Fantasy. Saka scored and earned nine points in a 4-0 win over Bournemouth back in Gameweek 7.

Phil Foden (Man City) £8.4m

Foden has scored five goals in his last three home outings in the league, amassing 38 points.

Kai Havertz (Arsenal) £7.5m

The German entertains Bournemouth on the back of successive double-figure hauls over the last two Gameweeks. Havertz has eight goals, six assists and a team-high 100 points from Gameweek 25 onwards, 30 points more than both Saka and Martin Odegaard (£8.6m) for the Gunners.

Cole Palmer (Chelsea) £6.2m

A home encounter with West Ham United gives Chelsea’s Castrol Golden Boot contender the opportunity to get more goals. Palmer faces a Hammers side who have conceded at least four goals in two of their last three away trips.  

Erling Haaland (Man City) £14.1m

Having marked his return from injury with a goal off the bench against Nottingham Forest last weekend, the Norwegian looks set to start against Wolves. In home matches this season, Haaland's 19 big chances and 55 shots in the box are both more than twice the total of any team-mate.

Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa) £9.0m

Aston Villa’s forward has a league-high 17 attacking returns in away matches this season, scoring 10 goals and assisting a further seven. Watkins produced his best ever Fantasy haul of 23 points against his hosts Brighton & Hove Albion back in Gameweek 7, thanks to three goals and two assists. 

Jean-Philippe Mateta (Crystal Palace) £5.1m

The Crystal Palace striker has been a huge success under new head coach Oliver Glasner, scoring in all five of his home appearances under the Austrian. Mateta hosts Manchester United on the back of seven goals, an assist and 48 points across those encounters.
