Haaland (£15.1m)
Erling Haaland continues to dominate this Fantasy Premier League season, having already racked up 163 points with 20 goals, solidifying his status as the top attacking option in the game. The Norwegian star leads the league’s scoring charts thanks to his exceptional ability to capitalize on chances inside the box and his high scoring rate, making him an indispensable asset for any competitive squad.
As Gameweek 22 kicks off, Manchester City faces their fierce rivals Manchester United in a high-stakes clash. United’s inconsistent defensive approach gives Haaland a real opportunity to continue finding the back of the net and boost his goal tally. With his consistent form and attacking prowess, Haaland remains an ideal captain pick this week and a key option for maximizing fantasy points.
Alexander Volltmade (£7.4M)
Alexander Volltmade continues to impress with Newcastle this season, accumulating 78 points and scoring 7 goals, solidifying his role as a key attacking contributor for the team. With an ownership rate below 20%, Volltmade stands out as a smart differential pick for managers looking for solid point returns with a calculated risk.
In Gameweek 22 of the Fantasy Premier League, Newcastle faces Wolverhampton—a favorable fixture that gives Volltmade a real chance to continue scoring and boost his attacking returns. His consistent form and ability to make an impact make him an attractive option to strengthen your attacking lineup, and potentially a surprise captain pick for the adventurous manager.
Hugo Ekitike (£8.8M)
Hugo Ekitike returns from injury to continue his strong presence as one of this season’s top Fantasy options, having already accumulated 84 points and scored 9 goals for Liverpool. This makes him one of the Premier League’s key forwards and a direct contender just behind Haaland in attacking potential.
In Gameweek 22, Liverpool faces Burnley—a fixture that looks favorable, especially given Burnley’s defensive struggles. Ekitike’s return provides extra motivation to assert himself and compete strongly for a starting spot. With his proven ability to capitalize on half-chances, he emerges as a smart option to boost your attacking lineup and even a viable captain pick for managers seeking a differential with high point potential.
Mateta (£7.7M)
After a strong start to the season, Mateta’s output has dipped slightly, having gone five matches without scoring. However, he remains a valuable Fantasy option, especially with his overall season stats improving. So far, Mateta has scored 8 goals and accumulated 80 points, demonstrating his ability to make a strong impact whenever the opportunity arises.
In Gameweek 22, his team faces Sunderland—a fixture that could be the perfect chance to end his goal drought and regain confidence. With an ownership rate under 10%, Mateta stands out as an appealing differential pick and could even be a bold captaincy gamble for managers seeking a high-point surprise outside the usual choices.
