FPL tips for gameweek: Phil Foden, Florian Wirtz and Bruno Fernandes should all shine this week

Aaron Ramsdale, Newcastle, keeper, £4.8m – Burnley (h)
It looks like Nick Pope is going to miss the next five games for Newcastle so that means you can get a cut-price way into one of the better Premier League defences in the shape of Ramsdale.
Newcastle host Burnley before Sunderland (a), Chelsea (h), Manchester United (a), Burnley (a).
That’s not a bad run if you want to spread your finances elsewhere.
Burnley have won once on the road.
Ruben Dias, Manchester City, £5.6m – Sunderland (h)
Bit of a boring pick but the fear of City’s full-backs rotating this week puts me off Nico O’Reilly.
Dias has started 13 of 14 games this season, City should keep Sunderland fairly quiet.
Daniel Munoz, Crystal Palace, £6m – Fulham (a)
Undroppable at the moment, the best defender in the game.
The last team to visit Craven Cottage conceded four – let’s just hope this game is a bit tighter. But regardless, Munoz is in for his attacking potential too, with three goals and three assists already.
James Tarkowski, Everton, £5.4m – Nottingham Forest (h)
This season has been pretty unpredictable and Everton sum that up. Two great 1-0 away wins at Manchester United and Bournemouth sandwiched by a 4-1 home thumping by Newcastle.
Before the Newcastle game, Everton had only conceded five goals in six games at home.
Only Marco Senesi has earned more defensive contribution points (defcon) than Tarkowski’s 18 too.
Joachim Andersen, Fulham, £4.5m – Crystal Palace (h)
Despite being one of the season’s most impressive teams, Palace’s xG in the past four games is bottom seven in the league.
They’ve lost key creative midfielder Ismaila Sarr to injury too so there’s a chance they might find goals hard to come by at Fulham.
Anderson has 18 defcon points this season, returning in nine of 13 starts, so represents a good budget option.
