Many predicted Gameweek 27 to be a tricky one and an average points return of just 53 proved that to be exactly the case.

However, Gameweek 28 should provide players with a route back to a high points tally thanks to plenty of favourable fixtures – including a top-vs-bottom clash – and we have picked out five players to consider picking for your team this weekend. 

Eddie Nketiah, Crystal Palace (Forward)

Jean-Philippe Mateta’s horrific injury against Millwall last Saturday means Eddie Nketiah should lead the line for Crystal Palace this weekend and he could prove to be a solid differential pick for those looking to make up ground in their mini leagues. 

The Eagles forward is owned by less than one per cent of players, but he has netted in his last two appearances and looks set to end the season with a decent scoring run.

Ipswich, Palace’s next opponents, have shipped 24 goals while winning none of their last eight Premier League matches, suggesting Nketiah could get plenty of chances on Saturday.

Kostantinos Tsimikas, Liverpool (Defender)

Liverpool’s clash with basement boys Southampton falls between their two legs in the Champions League last 16 against PSG, meaning Arne Slot may rotate his side for Saturday’s visit from the Championship-bound Saints. 

Konstantinos Tsimikas started Liverpool’s last Premier League match against Newcastle, earning six points in the Reds’ 2-0 win and he should continue at left-back with Andy Robertson set to start in Paris. 

The Reds should shut out Southampton, meaning Tsimikas will at least earn a clean sheet, while he has also been known to take set-pieces and already has an assist to his name this season.

Owned by less than 0.5 per cent of players, the Greek defender could be a huge differential pick. 

James Tarkowski, Everton (Defender)

Wolves have conceded a league-high 17 goals from set-pieces this season and Everton, who boast one of the tallest sides in the division, will look to exploit that. 

James Tarkowski already has one goal to his name this season, has taken four shots in his last eight matches and had a strike disallowed in the reverse fixture, with his aerial presence likely to be seen to great effect at Molineux on Saturday. 

Filip Jorgensen, Chelsea (Goalkeeper)

Error-prone Robert Sanchez has been usurped by Filip Jorgensen as Chelsea’s number one and the Dane could land his second successive clean sheet on Sunday. 

The goalkeeper helped the Blues shut out Southampton last time out and he can land another six-point haul by repeating the feat against Leicester, who have failed to score in six of their last seven Premier League matches. 

Jorgensen is extremely cheap at just £4.2 million and he could provide great value in between the sticks, allowing for higher-priced pickups further up the pitch.

Jarrod Bowen, West Ham (Midfielder)

West Ham look to be turning a corner under Graham Potter, beating Arsenal 1-0 then Leicester 2-0, and, unsurprisingly, Jarrod Bowen has been at the forefront of their improvement.

The Hammers' captain scored the winner at Arsenal and provided an assist against Leicester – that assist actually came from a shot which went down as a Jannik Vestergaard own goal – notching hauls of 10 and six points.

Newcastle may have one eye on next Sunday’s EFL Cup final and Bowen, who has scored one goal and provided three assists in his last four appearances against the Magpies, could capitalise on any sloppiness from the visitors at the London Stadium.
