10. Trent Alexander-Arnold

Liverpool full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold is the only defender to make the top 10 this week. He’s the highest-scoring defender in the game, with a goal and three clean sheets from his last four league games, having benefited from some early substitutions. He is also the most creative defender in the game, leading the way for both key passes (49) and big chances created (14).

9. Ismaila Sarr

Crystal Palace are one of the form teams in the league right now, with three wins from their last four, plus an enticing home game coming up against relegation candidates Ipswich Town. With Jean-Philippe Mateta likely to miss this game, we could see Ismaila Sarr shine in his absence. The midfielder scored a brace in the recent 4-1 win against Aston Villa and has racked up 10 goal involvements this season.

8. Bryan Mbeumo

Brentford talisman Bryan Mbeumo continues to impress as the third-highest scoring player in the game this season, having chalked up one goal and two assists in the last four gameweeks alone. Expect the Bees to take the home advantage as they entertain Aston Villa. Mbeumo has registered 13 shots on goal in the last four gameweeks, plus he’s on penalties.

7. Luis Diaz

Liverpool’s Luis Diaz is one of three Reds midfielders in this top 10 as he continues to impress as part of their front three in this campaign. The Reds have played six league games over the last four gameweeks, with Diaz starting five of those, producing one goal and two assists. In this period he has had three big chances on goal.

6. Dominik Szoboszlai

Many managers will ignore a triple up on Liverpool this weekend due to their blank in Gameweek 29 caused by the Carabao Cup final. But it’s difficult to overlook their No.10 Dominik Szoboszlai on recent form. He has produced double-digit hauls in consecutive games, with three goal involvements in this period alone. He’s had 14 shots on goal over the last four gameweeks.

5. Christopher Nkunku

Two Chelsea attackers make this top 10 ahead of a home game against struggling Leicester City. The Blues have scored 11 goals in their last four home games, including four past Southampton last time out. Christopher Nkunku contributed to two of those goal involvements against Saints as he’s trusted to lead the line in the absence of Nicolas Jackson.

4. Erling Haaland

Manchester City’s main man Erling Haaland has prospered in recent weeks, with six goals and two assists from seven league starts in 2025. His underlying numbers have improved too, leading the way for big chances on goal in this time with 12. Man City beat Nottingham Forest 3-0 in the reverse fixture, with Haaland contributing an assist on that occasion.

3. Alexander Isak

Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak is a slight fitness doubt going into the trip to West Ham United. He made the Magpies’ FA Cup squad at the weekend but had to be substituted early as fatigue set in. He’s vital to their attack, with four goals from his last four Premier League starts taking him up to 19 goals for the season: only Erling Haaland and Mo Salah have more.

2. Cole Palmer

Cole Palmer frustrated his over one million brave captain backers in the 4-0 win against Chelsea with a blank, despite registering seven shots, including three which hit the target. Despite just one return in six matches, he remains a very appealing option for the visit of Leicester. He sits top for shots (19) over the last four gameweeks and has the routes to points given his set piece involvement.

1. Mo Salah

Unsurprisingly, Mo Salah tops the AI rankings as the best captain pick for FPL Gameweek 28 ahead of the home game against Southampton. 9.8 points is his highest prediction from a single gameweek in this campaign, with 13 points from this game enough to beat his best ever tally of FPL points in a season. He grabbed that total in the reverse fixture, scoring a brace in the 3-2 victory.
