3. Callum Wilson, £6.5m
Despite always being predicted to be in a relegation battle, Bournemouth always manage to cruise to safety. Somehow, they're sixth in the league right now, in no small part thanks to the goals of Callum Wilson and Josh King. The Cherries go to Craven Cottage this weekend to play Fulham, who have conceded more goals (25) than any other team so far this season. In fact, they've not lined up with an unchanged back line once this season, as Slavisa Jokanović tries to find the right defensive formula. Wilson and King will be rubbing their hands together at the prospect of exploiting this weakness, so if you need a mid-range striker, Wilson is your man this weekend.
4. Willy Boly, £4.6m
Much has been made of Wolves' impressive start to the season, and rightly so; never has a newly promoted side looked so comfortable in the Premier League. Of course, there are reasons why they've been able to recruit the likes of Ruben Neves and João Moutinho, but that should not degrade from the fantastic coaching job that Nuno Espirito Santo has done with his squad. One of the beneficiaries of Nuno's coaching has been Willy Boly, who has gone under the radar as one of the most reliable defenders in the league, playing on the left of a back three. He's amassed 40 FPL points this season and has only been selected by 5.3% of coaches.
5. Antonio Rüdiger, £5.9m
If you think I'm putting Rüdiger in this list just because of his goal against Manchester United last weekend, well you'd be absolutely right. But looking deeper, there are more reasons to include the German international in your FPL side. Firstly, he always starts; Maurizio Sarri has settled on a defensive pairing of Rüdiger and David Luiz, and that doesn't look like changing any time soon. He's also the seventh highest point scoring defender in the FPL rankings right now, ahead of Kyle Walker and Virgil Van Dijk. And as an added bonus, he's gone largely under the radar, with only 3% of managers selecting him.Explore more on these topics:
