10. Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
- GW15 opponent: Chelsea (H)
- Predicted points: 5.3
It’s been five successive blanks for Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo following the dizzy heights of 10 goal involvements from the opening eight gameweeks of the season. Six of those attacking returns have come at the Vitality Stadium, where we could expect the Cherries to capitalise after Chelsea suffered a shock defeat to Leeds United in midweek.
9. Nick Woltemade (Newcastle)
- GW15 opponent: Burnley (H)
- Predicted points: 5.3
Nick Woltemade striker has hit a purple patch, returning three goals involvements in the last four gameweeks: one goal and two assists. The Newcastle United striker’s underlying numbers back this up, with three big chances and five key passes. Yoane Wissa will soon be waiting in the wings to provide more competition for minutes in the Magpies forward line.
8. Malick Thiaw (Newcastle)
- GW15 opponent: Burnley (H)
- Predicted points: 5.3
Sticking with Newcastle, Malick Thiaw is one of two defenders to make the top 10 this week. He’s firmly on FPL managers’ radars following his brace away at Everton last weekend. The Magpies have kept five clean sheets in this campaign, with Burnley failing to score in three of their last five league games.
7. Matheus Cunha (Man Utd)
- GW15 opponent: Wolves (A)
- Predicted points: 5.5
Manchester United’s Matheus Cunha has finally returned from injury and is now a big differential in the game, in less than 5% of teams. The Brazilian faces his former employers Wolverhampton Wanderers in this fixture and will have a big point to prove. He will be looking to build on his first league goal scored for the club against Brighton in Gameweek 9.
6. Bukayo Saka (Arsenal)
- GW15 opponent: Aston Villa (A)
- Predicted points: 5.6
It’s a tricky fixture for Arsenal this time out, travelling to an in-form Aston Villa side, which sees Bukayo Saka drop out of the top five. He was rested last time out, scoring from the bench against Brentford, leaving him fresh for this game. He has produced three goal involvements in the last four gameweeks alone.
5. Bryan Mbeumo (Man Utd)
- GW15 opponent: Wolves (A)
- Predicted points: 5.6
Bryan Mbeumo has just a couple of opportunities left for Man Utd before going off to the Africa Cup of Nations. He’s a template player, in more than a third of teams. But the Cameroonian just one goal in his last four league games at the time of writing. He has got himself on the scoresheet in recent away trips to Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool.
4. Bruno Fernandes (Man Utd)
- GW15 opponent: Wolves (A)
- Predicted points: 5.8
Bruno Fernandes continues to rise above his team-mates in the AI predictions, given his diverse routes to points. He is across all set pieces, including penalties, carrying goal and assist threat in equal measure, plus defensive contribution bonuses from his deeper position. The Man Utd captain hit a double digit return in his last away trip, with five assists in his last four away games.
3. Nico O’Reilly (Man City)
- GW15 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 6.3
It’s a Manchester City triple up locking out the top three, with full-back Nico O’Reilly featuring for the first time in this campaign. He has started five consecutive league games, producing four goal involvements this season. Man City have kept five clean sheets, while opponents Sunderland have failed to score in four away trips this season.
2. Phil Foden (Man City)
- GW15 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 6.5
It’s impossible to ignore Phil Foden right now, after he scored a brace in consecutive games to earn 32 FPL points in this period. It’s clear that he is playing with confidence, shooting on sight, with Pep Guardiola showing plenty of faith in his midfield maestro. Foden has now started 11 consecutive games in the Premier League.
1. Erling Haaland (Man City)
- GW15 opponent: Sunderland (H)
- Predicted points: 9.3
Erling Haaland retains his place as the top AI option and the best captain pick ahead of the home game against Sunderland, where playing the Triple Captain chip is a genuine consideration once again. Their opponents are without a clean sheet in the last six gameweeks, conceding eight goals in this period.
